Dr. Dre - Take Cover lyrics

Gift to the game, simple and plain. Consider your lane when you decide to mention my name. It's the rules. No one you knew did it the same. In the booth, I'm the moment of truth. Witness the reign before you miss out. Let me explain what this sh** bout, big bad wolf with a crane for your brick house. Alls I'm saying, never been no shame in the quick route. Taught you don't let your head hang when you're in doubt, I got you. I'm really doin' it mama. I ain't go to college, I was in the school of paranas. Taught me life is a b**h, bad as a group of Rihannas, she been watchin a nikka back with the troop in Uganda. I'm bout to lose it your honor, no I ain't playin' with 'em. It's the god, what's up with all of this atheism? Maybe I should break it down and recreate the system. When they made me the villain I couldn't play the victim. I ain't never wanted your sympathy or the road in reverse, unless it comes with amenities and a soul I can search. Had enough with the industry, I'mma summon the energy from the sun and eventually put a hole in the earth, that I could fit it in. Oh it gets worse, you can make the mistake of thinking it's only a verse. It'd be safer to say you should make the most of your worth. The pope in church, homie I hit the podium first. Presidential, when I speak n***as listen. Time is money ain't no brief intermissions. We'll do what ever just to get to your spot, so when you JFK you gotta think Richard Nixon, n***a. There's a difference, I swear I'm a genius. If the premise is true, I'm just sharing the thesis. I feel like I'm running laps around a parapalegic. The best by a long shot, and I'm embarra**ed to see it. Get your bars up. Without a spot here you're weak. This is the optimal peak, if it got on a beat. Kept the devil in his place, left god in his seat. The cops on a leash, a dollar got the mob on it's feet. Who hotter than me? Leap and see I'm not in your reach. Property of this monopoly piece gotta be seized. You got it locked till I get caught copyin' keys. I'm on yo head n***a bob it and weave. I am elite, take cover. Watch how I do this sh**. Movement swift, he smooth, he the new Slick Rick. Them lucid trips can prove that the truth exists. The shoe fits, Mr. Kubrik will shoot this clip, bang. It's the blue print 6, true sh**. Obey the rules 'till your crew gets rich. Who's this prick? Nail him to the crucifix. He get loose with his acoustic pick, chunk the duece, get lit. Use to give way, I've been busy. I'll deal with you, boy, I was raised in sin city. Ain't no matter who on base, I'm King Griffey. They put a crocodile in the cage with win dixie. Swim with me, it's deeper than rap. Take you to the places you think you was at. We used to be in the forefront, I'm bringing it back. It's all good, cease fire, tell your people relax and take cover
