[Verse 1]
|
Yo I grew up in Mid-City near World on Wheels
|
After Reaganomics crack came and more blood spill
|
I gotta tell shorties now I don't pop pills
|
The only ecstacy I fuck with rolls with Jalil
|
No grip, straight line rhymes
|
Like the grand concourse on 149
|
In LA the riders ridge was Fairfax and Olympic ??
|
On the block the Ethiopians kick it (salaam)
|
You'll learn Angel City'll test you
|
I move through giving respect where respect's due
|
Ducking these cops who say they serve to protect you
|
And handlin my biz so I ain't tryin to impress you
|
It's mind over matter, crew over money
|
I do strategy, I don't act sporadically
|
I contemplate, cat I move mathematically
|
It's Alchemist with Dilated, that's family
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Still a couple lessons I can teach
|
How the real fiends cop two each
|
The game is keeping dope in the streets
|
So look the world on wheels
|
Still a couple lessons I can teach
|
How the real heads rock real beats
|
Bangin out the illest rides on the streets
|
Look at the world on wheels
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Peace King, peace haki, peace queen
|
I only leave em in pieces if they step in the ring
|
They're fumbling and wondering what weapon to bring
|
I'm like Ice-T, I know my lethal weapon'll swing
|
Stop the presses, block the doors
|
Cops oppress us, watch the wolves
|
But all the friendly fire is worse than oppression
|
Pressure more stressin is poured in dead presidents
|
(Rakaa) Fights for your rights is my pleasure
|
But suckers swing rulers like swords that try to measure
|
While Slick Rick the ruler's at war with INS yo
|
I hope the young fly their best yo
|
Hip-hop desert again, it's like Busy Bee's buzzin again
|
My patience is thin though
|
I ventilate em like I cracked the window and air it out like a Hail Mary to
|
the end zone
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
When I'm all out, I cause panic (peace summits)
|
When I move stealth (it's mysteries and who-done-its)
|
I made mental notes of who's fam and who frontin
|
Mental notes of who ran shit and who runnin
|
It's mind over matter, crew over money
|
I do strategy, I don't act sporadically
|
I contemplate, cat I move mathematically
|
Create to devastate crew, that's family
|
|
[Chorus]
