I'm in the school yard, rhyming with my brother Jamal and Ra' Allah Vibing to the beat, and imagining how far The sound could travel if we turned up the volume It even shacked the gravel before we heard the loud boom It vibrated through the parking lot Shattered a few windshields, set off a sparking shot The local UPS cat worried and stressed that, he had a slow link, front tire almost flat I got a cousin who think's he's slicker than the oil on a chain But I live in an arcade surrounded by gang He used to pa** me bucks, tryin' to gas me up He was a fast talker and he kept a flashy cut From spot that was on Malcom X boulevard With this magician, wishing I would pull a card An optical illusionist who's hands was quick But wasn't fast enough not to reveal his trick Ay yo, who be the first to set it off has just begun Turn up the heat until the track is done And we roll together as one Yes I call my brother son 'cause he shines like one Who be the first to set it off has just begun Turn up the heat until the track is done And we roll together as one Yes I call my brother son 'cause he shines like one Ma** hysteria inside the cafeteria Not a full fight but the news might reach your area Whether by word of mouth or if you read about it Extra, extra, extra they feel the need to shout it The drummer played the beat on the table His boy kicked the verse like he was the first And I wasn't able at all prepared to let of anything substantial If I had no rhymes then my plans was cancelled Picture that before you give your bag and expose it Couldn't develop the colour, wonder why he chose it Seemed less than the worst competition to the point I only use one ear to listen Was there something I'm missing? The food was getting cold, the corners about to flake as soon as I flipped the bowl See the rhyme ain't worth than less a ticket Wasted time of mine plus the temp kicked it Who be the first to set it off has just begun Turn up the heat until the track is done And we roll together as one Yes I call my brother son 'cause he shines like one Who be the first to set it off has just begun Turn up the heat until the track is done And we roll together as one Yes I call my brother son 'cause he shines like one
