Maestro - Make The City Stand Still lyrics

rate me

Maestro] <br />

This joint's dedicated to all emcees <br />

Yo, stay focused with this <br />

A'ight <br />

Stay strong, stay dedicated <br />

Maestro <br />

Check it out, yo <br />

<br />

Yeah yeah, yo <br />

I'm still smashin' it <br />

So compassionate <br />

House of Commons want me on the cabinet <br />

The graduate who got the phattest shit <br />

I splatter shit <br />

Niggas better scatter when I'm splashin' it <br />

Flashin' it <br />

Pass the record books and watch me shatter shit <br />

I made the city hot <br />

Rhymes makin' niggas drop <br />

Even free-stylin' when CKLN was fifty watts <br />

Then I built the strategy <br />

Gradualy, I planned to be <br />

The greatest from the city <br />

Brothers started stabbin' me <br />

Made your backbone slide to this, glide to this <br />

Brothers jealous 'cause their sons couldn't shine like this <br />

It ain't my fault that my song's phat <br />

It ain't my fault that my pops loved my mom, black <br />

I made the bomb track <br />

Kids were jackin' for beats when my rap hit the streets <br />

I went to church and even signed my autograph for the priest <br />

When my track was released, you noticed me <br />

Toronto prodigy of poetry <br />

Even white chicks were faintin' over me <br />

The flyer boss, toured like Diana Ross <br />

It kills me when I see you young brothers tryin' to floss <br />

You got a long way to go to keep the hip in the hop <br />

I left in ninety two, it's like the fukin' industry stopped <br />

But it's on, don't panic <br />

Emcees stay frantic <br />

It's automatic, we makin' audio dramatic <br />

Lyrically I'm a bill, at the top of a hill <br />

Show my sons how to chill, and make the city stand still <br />

<br />

[Chorus: Wade O. Brown] <br />

We're gonna make it happen <br />

We're gonna make it shine <br />

We're gonna make it happen <br />

It's a race against our time <br />

Oh, oh, oh <br />

We're gonna make it happen <br />

<br />

[Maestro] <br />

Yeah, yeah, yeah <br />

I remember when my pops took me to this lady <br />

She said she couldn't beleive how many shady people wanna slay me <br />

She said they wanna wreck you, they wanna wet you <br />

But don't sweat it, your ancestors will protect you <br />

Many nights I woke up, frozen stiff, couldn't move <br />

Stayed calm, bible open on the twenty third song <br />

Who could it be now <br />

A brother that I ripped, an old school shorty that I used to hit <br />

(go figure) <br />

In life I learned cats'll try to hurt you <br />

That's why I gotta stay tight with my family, and keep a small circle <br />

Many broads said to me, that my seed they wanted to carry <br />

Didn't love me at all <br />

But to shine, they wanted to marry <br />

Sayin' "let's sex tonight", but I'm a skeptic type <br />

It's a rougher world <br />

That's why it's tough to trust a girl <br />

Never the less I'm maintainin', with pure determination <br />

Two junos, plus ten nominations <br />

No way I'm gonna crumble, I stayed humble <br />

I reminisce when K-4CE teamed up with MC Rumble <br />

T-dot, nineteen eighty six, turned the party out <br />

Gave love, but didn't have to sweat the brothers down south <br />

It's on, don't panic, emcees stay frantic <br />

It's automatic, we makin' audio dramatic <br />

Lyrically I'm a bill, at the top of a hill <br />

Show my sons how to chill, and make the city stand still <br />

<br />

[Chorus] <br />

<br />

[Wade O. Brown] <br />

I know, for sure <br />

That we're bound to make it <br />

In time, we'll find <br />

It's the sky of ????? <br />

Oh oh oh <br />

We're gonna make it happen <br />

We're gonna make it, We're gonna make it <br />

<br />

[Maestro] <br />

Yeah <br />

You could never make the city smile <br />

You're Conway Twitty style <br />

Silly pile for real <br />

You ain't a willy child <br />

I cap your dome, everytime I rap alone <br />

Plus the way I chaperones, make the feds tap a phone <br />

I elevated you, you know who educated you <br />

Peace to Ron Nelson, he put me on in eighty two <br />

Now I'm comin' back <br />

I got the stunning tracks <br />

Spreadin' love to all my peeps and show the younger cats <br />

Hit 'em with the phattest songs <br />

Fuck the sprint, it's a marathon <br />

I seen a lot of shit, now I'm passin' it on <br />

I love Redman and Naughty shit <br />

But now I'm on some Barry Gordy shit <br />

I need another forty hit <br />

It's on, don't panic <br />

Emcees stay frantic <br />

It's automatic, we makin' audio dramatic <br />

Lyrically I'm a bill, at the top of a hill <br />

Show my sons how to chill, and make the city stand still <br />

It's on, don't panic <br />

Emcees stay frantic <br />

It's automatic, we makin' audio dramatic <br />

Lyrically I'm a bill, at the top of a hill <br />

Show my sons how to chill, and make the city stand still <br />

<br />

[Chorus]
