Letra

[Verse 1]
Grand Puba
Lord Jamar
Sadat X
Alamo
Raised in the ghetto singin' songs called survival
I'm only bringin' you the real
[Verse 2]
Grand Puba
Lord Jamar
Sadat X
Alamo
Raised in the ghetto singin' songs called survival
Give a shout if you know what I'm talkin' about
[Verse 3]
Three-sixty degrees, I stand in the square, right over left
Preparin' to fight to the death, you could never stifle this
Not even the triflest **** on Earth
Could ever fuck with what I spit in the verse
We always hit where it hurts
Underground, so we dig in the dirt
Always gotta put a **** to work is how it seems
It's kinda hard to hear the silent screams
Do the violent things, turn a deaf ear, your body might get left there
You better step to the rear
We put it down Premiere, rock mad army gear
You ain't heard us all together in several years
It's like a federal crime, you had to settle for rhymes
That lacked substance, we got that in abundance
Pro-black and you know that
We stay fat like Joe Crack, Lord Jamar
Come too far to ever try and go back
[Verse 4]
Grand Puba
Lord Jamar
Sadat X
Alamo
Raised in the ghetto singin' songs called survival
I'm only bringin' you the real
[Verse 5]
Grand Puba
Lord Jamar
Sadat X
Alamo
Raised in the ghetto singin' songs called survival
Give a shout if you know what I'm talkin' about
[Verse 6]
I'm on 110 and Lenox with these Africans overseein'
Our physical being and how we doin' it
It only take one bad **** to ruin it, pursuin' it
And actin' like it can't happen put you in the chair
To the bookings we go, on a twenty-four hour flow
I run through obstacles, take off my shackles
Proper backing with the bangers and the rhyme singers
I run with them and other, rock NY in colors
With the straight brim and the chick who work in the gym
The great Daddy in the C-Town express
Whoever step to this is gon' have to face stress
Whoever step to this better be at they best
Look at me close, I'm the perfect host, you standin' too close
So back up, you should never try to act up
The wild cowboy still got the style, boy
One of a kind, I throw a hell of a line
[Verse 7]
Grand Puba
Lord Jamar
Sadat X
Alamo
Raised in the ghetto singin' songs called survival
I'm only bringin' you the real
[Verse 8]
Grand Puba
Lord Jamar
Sadat X
Alamo
Raised in the ghetto singin' songs called survival
Give a shout if you know what I'm talkin' about
[Verse 9]
My man, Primo, hit me off with the plural
Zig-zag-zig like Zorro, now
We makin' more bread than Stella D'oro
Unsung hero, bring more heat than DeNiro
Never known for spittin' trash shit on the mic, that shit's a zero
Rhyme flow stay off the meter, tight like two-seaters
Make y'all get nuts like a cell block filled with dick beaters
Make my approach, they shorty's bagged like coach
Cut on the lights if she ain't a dime, then watch me run like a roach
Y'all know my shit be hot, they call me Dr. Doalot
Now, I got seeds so I'm stingy, I keep strings on my Benji's
So tree up, ****, we up, about to re-up
Y'all know the deal, grab this paper, disappear like Copperfield
I need a meal, time to eats with a flow
Drop the beat, press it up and hit the streets, dinner time's complete
My Nubian ways'll get that ass open for days
Make more chips than Frito Lays when I spit the phrase that pays
[Verse 10]
Grand Puba
Lord Jamar
Sadat X
Alamo
Raised in the ghetto singin' songs called survival
I'm only bringin' you the real
[Verse 11]
Grand Puba
Lord Jamar
Sadat X
Alamo
Raised in the ghetto singin' songs called survival
Give a shout if you know what I'm talkin' about
