[Black Thought]<br />

Uh huh<br />

Uh<br />

<br />

And it weights a ton<br />

'riq geez motherfuckers I'm a son of a gun<br />

Black master of any trade under the sun<br />

Talk sharp like a razor blade under the tongue<br />

Clear my path and come get your captain hung<br />

Trying to breath like black'll collapse your lungs<br />

Young chump you could choke off the web I spun<br />

I done cleared 'em out from the threat I brung<br />

You done heard about what set I'm from<br />

My nigga, word-a-mouth little rule-a-thumb<br />

Y'all better bow down when the ruler come<br />

I'm a real hood nigga not a hood-a-lum<br />

The way Thought put it down be confusin' some of y'all<br />

Cats can't walk while chewin' your gum 'n all<br />

With a keyboard got do with a drum 'n all<br />

School 'em on stage like I'm doin' a seminar<br />

Professional type, I'm adjusting my mic<br />

Go to war kid I'll give you any weapon you like<br />

Give you something to run from<br />

, bust off your dum-dum<br />

Stop kid, that hot shit you know where it come from<br />

It's philly world-wide phenomenom<br />

And reinforcin' that shit is my 9-to-5<br />

And when I finish making you recognize<br />

I'm getin' at a couple civilized women that's tryin' to ride<br />

You were waitin' on the raw to come off the oil<br />

You wanna get the bitches up off the wall<br />

Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself<br />

To keep you in health, this for all of y'all<br />

I'm quick on the draw like Black McGraw<br />

And I can't tell what y'all cats rappin' for<br />

<br />

My name 'riq geez and I'm back for more<br />

To get more chips than the corner store<br />

With a portrait of Malcom X on the door<br />

While I'm eatin' MCs like a carnivore<br />

Matter fact, ease back 'fore you get harmed<br />

Ring the, warning horn when I'm gon' perform<br />

The first nigga that move, or disturb the goove<br />

I'm a have y'all flicks on the evening news<br />

Play y'all part - get on y'all P's and Q's<br />

And when y'all think Thought, be prepared to lose<br />

Bring money to spend and somebody to lend<br />

And some worthwhile money not twenties and tens<br />

Get took for your tuck right in front of your 'hens<br />

Who coulda help you nigga, not none of ya friends<br />

Because, I put a black fist under ya chin<br />

Have your physical remains found under the pen<br />

If I'm coming up in the place, I'm coming to win<br />

Wasn't in it for a minute, now I'm dumbin' again<br />

<br />

'riq geez ock, y'all can chat what y'all please<br />

Receive what I'm gonna give back to y'all please<br />

''cause y'all don't really wanna get clapped with all these<br />

My man, you can take y'all strap when y'all leave<br />

You see the squad come in the place, they all freeze<br />

Ice cold, with his mellow cool breeze<br />

MCs, never showed loyalty yet<br />

Kool Herc ain't never get a royalty check<br />

I do work, no question, and bomb your set<br />

I'm calm collect, sharp like my name Gillette<br />

RIP my man Gillette<br />

Until I touch the mic, y'all people ain't seen danger yet<br />

I'm a decorated vet, I regulate and wreck<br />

Never hesitated yet, I'm gettin' heavy weighted checks<br />

If you would dare ask if I'm dedicated - yes<br />

I spit, live rounds that would penetrate a vest<br />

Nigga, take ya seats I'm a demonstrate a test<br />

How to freak the beats, so gangsta fresh<br />

And it thump, from the east coast to Bangladesh<br />

Big bank, willy gank smoke the thing to death<br />

But hold tight, 'cause it's not over yet<br />

I don't even feel like I'm not sober yet<br />

And it ring like shots in the projects new year's eve<br />

And it ain't even October yet<br />

I'm a big bounty hunter like Boba Fett<br />

Y'all more shell shocked then a soldier get<br />

If the prize in my sights then I'm goin' for this<br />

Whoo whoo 'riq geez be the ultimate<br />

I'm the corporate, give me the bulk of this<br />

'riq set it on the magnetic ultra tip<br />

Get down how you 'posed to get<br />

I got nothing to lose, I'm a killer with no regrets<br />

I'm like young LL, 'cause I'm hard as hell<br />

Makin' niggaz screw face like Gargamel<br />

Now I'm all out on my own like Patty LaBelle<br />

Put the pimp game down on your mademoiselle<br />

<br />

Keep the beat goin'<br />

Keep the beat goin'
