Respect Mine (feat. O.C.)

"Yo, brothers respect mine!"

Yeah!

(Yo, turn it up)

Fuck keepin' it real, I keep it right, naw'mean? (Yeah)

"Yo, brothers respect mine!"

No doubt

"Yo, brothers respect mine!"

You little crumbs, mere peasants (Ha! Hahaha)

He's back

Check it!

The renaissance man, no gat in my hand

Episode numero uno — check out the man

Spread a verse like a thesis or a virus

Open ya iris, ****, I'm the individual you can't get rid of

Prominent aura, dominant moral, Islamic

Amazin' phenomenon like Halley's Comet

Ya gettin' headaches from this bullshit

I'm the anesthetic to cure shit

Fuck that cut-up shit! I be that pure shit

Expedition, thoughts are truck

My mind shine like rims, spinnin' thoughts bright as fuck!

Congruent like four sides of a square

I got a surprise in '98 — rappers better prepare!

Timeless!

Take every letter from the word I ad-lib and put it together

That **** O.C.'s quite clever

Always and forever, no one can do it better

Fuck outta here, you faggot-ass motherfuckers!

Respect on the mic, we in this for life

For the street thug

To my brother with the same blood — one love

Yo, sound off the twenty-one slug salute

Ways to display the truth

It's Pete Rock and O.C

It's on point, fella

Ain't nuthin' you can tell us

Word up!

For real, yo

Yo, I impact the earth like a meteorite, magnetic

The P.R./O.C. experiment

Servin' justice when we bust this

Ya now instructed to thrust one fist in the air

Regulate the anthem for revolution

Prepare for the victorious comeback of the year

Assemble the militia, as I insert the scripture (Word)

Lyrics for the instrumental picture (Uh-huh)

Graphic in nature, respect mics I hold

Certified gold — 500,000 sold

News flash, yo — it's hip-hop built to last (Last)

Survivor of the aftermath when guns blast

Wavin' a white flag while you dressed in drag (Word)

Remember what I keep in the trunk of my Jag'

Surprise, ****!

Respect due when I deliver (Word, everything's real)

Respect on the mic, we in this for life

For the street thug

To my brother with the same blood — one love

Yo, sound off the twenty-one slug salute

Ways to display the truth

It's Pete Rock and O.C

It's on point, fella

Ain't nuthin' you can tell us

Word up

Since day one, when I came up on the scene, for this mic I fiend

Respect played a part before the C.R.E.A.M

I figure respect last longer 'cause C.R.E.A.M. come and go

I done seen five to ten, to fifteen a show and blew it

Now I know that my ill escape is real estate

No more will I make that mistake

Respect is what matter 'cause that shit hold weight

Word up! Ya gotta earn respect in '98

Rehabilitate the rap game, honor our name

Hold it down to the last frame

No doubt, emergency escape route, take the easy way out

If that's what you about, if not, then show ya heart

Create light from dark, all aboard the Ark

As the rain falls, I reminisce on Biggie Smalls and 2Pac

The new world is yours

So pause for the cause, respect due

Respect on the mic, we in this for life

For the street thug

To my brother with the same blood — one love

Yo, sound off the twenty-one slug salute

Ways to display the truth

It's Pete Rock and O.C

It's on point, fella

Ain't nuthin' you can tell us

So respect that

Respect on the mic, we in this for life

For the street thug

To my brother with the same blood — one love

Yo, sound off the twenty-one slug salute

Ways to display the truth

It's Pete Rock and O.C

It's on point, fellas

Ain't nuthin' you can tell us

So respect that, dunn

Word up! For real

Peace!
