El Da Sensei - Elements lyrics

[Verse One] [El Da Sensei]: I burn more than L's but Walls and stairwells With the broadest of markers and colors they can't sell Caps of many kinds and styles and hand sk**s Straightest of lines and characters hard to build Sketch pro pad, merchant workin' and it shows Back drop is life like with cans it flows Portraits are scorchin' and blends are important Energy surrounds all burners puttin' thought in Color wheel drill with the face so crisp Flow master tools complete the outfit Rubber gloves and masks Fumes from the past And it's still relevant and evident from the tag Brag on my Wild Style ? not a secret Wrong Side the first hit, in '94 we leaked it New era for bombin' and always be the sh** so Toys get in line for brand new starter kits [Scratch Hook]: "Let me show you somethin' now about hip hop" - Boogie Down Productions 'My Philosophy' "You know the elements" - A Tribe Called Quest 'Keep It Moving' "Got to have style and let it be original" - Boogie Down Productions 'My Philosophy' "You got what it takes" - KRS-One 'MC's Act Like They Don't Know' "Let me show you somethin' now about hip hop" "You know the elements" "Got to have style and let it be original" "Understand what I'm talkin' about" - A Tribe Called Quest 'Keep It Moving' [Verse Two] [Skit Slam]: Yo, I wanna thank the Bronx for the hip hop invention The music, the breakin' that got everyone attention My backspin's longer than a pen life sentence Wave lockin' and bendin', create new inventions Strike a pose air flare, one arm extending Apple Jacks on your head and start spinnin' Head glide, suicide and leg swipes You had to practice day and night to get nice I used to up rock, for money at the bus stops At least I wasn't tryin' to hustle at the drug spot Who remember Puma sweat suits and Adidas? Fat laces to make your footwork the neatest Pull out the cardboard There's none around? Well let's get busy on the hard floor I'm thinkin' 'bout the moves that bring chills Moonwalkin' Nah, windmills No hands, if you advanced with sk** Battle while the DJ on the wheels of steel It's all love though B-Boys and B-Girls are brethren And show mad love to hip hop legends [Scratch Hook]: "Let me show you somethin' now about hip hop" - Boogie Down Productions 'My Philosophy' "You know the elements" - A Tribe Called Quest 'Keep It Moving' "Got to have style and let it be original" - Boogie Down Productions 'My Philosophy' "You got what it takes" - KRS-One 'MC's Act Like They Don't Know' "Let me show you somethin' now about hip hop" "You know the elements" "Got to have style and let it be original" "Understand what I'm talkin' about" - A Tribe Called Quest 'Keep It Moving' [Verse Three] [Cymarshall Law]: Ayo man up brother I speak with enough power to chain lightening bolts and handcuff thunder When I, use the mic to control the crowd An MC, never phoney, a master of ceremony Somethin' always been inside and nobody had ever told me homie I was born to lead and teach youth Study the culture and it's deep roots It's my job to, get on the mic and speak truth Yo, honesty the policy For a top MC it gotta be Speak from your heart without apology I use every second to flee to show you Even if you're not ready to see the rebel in me The difference is When you rock, the crowd evaporate But I can take a rowdy bunch and show you how to captivate The voice of the people, speak truly is my duty And whoever you be, know you can't do nothin' to me [Scratch Hook]: "Let me show you somethin' now about hip hop" - Boogie Down Productions 'My Philosophy' "You know the elements" - A Tribe Called Quest 'Keep It Moving' "Got to have style and let it be original" - Boogie Down Productions 'My Philosophy' "You got what it takes" - KRS-One 'MC's Act Like They Don't Know' "Let me show you somethin' now about hip hop" "You know the elements" "Got to have style and let it be original" "Understand what I'm talkin' about" - A Tribe Called Quest 'Keep It Moving'
