Lyrics

Yes, this is public service announcement number 428
Delivered to you by your friendly local neighborhood Mars Ill crew
Courtesy of Deep Space Five Enterprises
It's for me, but it's also for you
It's like this
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Yeah, we got something else to say
Believe it or not, we don't claim to represent each element of hip-hop
I'm eloquent on the mic, flip language, that's what I do
Enlighten fresh subject matter and deliver it straight to you
In the vein of Pharoah and Chuck D, I still feel lucky
To be able to share the vision and describe the way it struck me
Interrupting the senseless noise with clear channel services
Resurgence and revival to defeat the sense of worthlessness
And Dust
Well, Dust completes the thought that I began
His words are drums, he talk now, but can you understand?
Well, I can, and there's a legion of fans that get it also
His audiomatic scratch patterns are all pro
Hit your torso full force
Of course, the future thinks they're here
And press your head against the speaker, catch this double feature
Make believers out of fence riders and critics in one verse
But yo, I got something to clear up first
DMCs are the mouthpiece and always the first to give props
To every person that's ever windmilled or knows how to uprock
But the b-boys could care less about the way you flow or rhyme
They don't even listen to any rap after 1989
So take the time, take a minute and take a good look
They live inside the breaks and stay addicted to the good foot
Should you ever meet one that says he has my album
Take a picture for me 'cause that's rare, one in a thousand
And graff writers, well, let's be honest
You don't really like my music and I
Can't read the words you're bobbing
I mean, who am I kidding? I've seen burners that move me
And I like to ride the train and let the pretty colors soothe me
But I don't vandalize, I'm afraid someone might shoot me
And I'm available if any girl ever need to speak through me
But I won't push it anymore, see, I'm giving y'all some leeway
But now I'll speak on behalf of myself and plus my DJ
Thank you
Thank you very much
Thank you for your time
Thank you for your ears
Appreciate you
