[Intro]
My peoples in Boston, check the flow
My peoples in Rhode Island, check the flow
My peoples in Connecticut, check the flow
My peoples in New York, check the flow
My peoples in Jersey, check the flow
My peoples in Philly, check the flow
My peoples in Delaware, check the flow
My peoples in Baltimore, check the flow
Now check it
[Verse 1]
Okay so n***as got sk**s but still be jockin mine
I shape them cyphers in the form of octagons
So my sh** can ricochet off the whole brigade
And blow up on emcees like a live grenade
I got that sh** you lookin for so put it into quest
Infinite numbers count the flows I possess
Ancient rhyme styles are now put to a rest
Give you pains in your chest like work-related stress
I come to block rhymes and those who front Glock 9's
Gangster stories, and perpetrate the hard times
Out with the days when the darkness chased the youth
It's time for sun, race and finally then raise the truth
And bring forth the light, cuz it's only right
To brothers with real sk**s get to rock the mic
Curse the gimmicks, I hate fake wa*ksters and mimics
It's time for Hip-Hop to be truly represented
Check the flow
[Hook + Vocal sample in background]
You know you've got a flow that makes me feel so nice
You know you've got a flow that makes me feel so right
You know you've got a flow that makes me feel so good
Flow on, flow on
[Bridge]
Check the flow
My peoples in DC, check the flow
My peoples in Virginia, check the flow
You with them Carolinas, check the flow
My peoples in Miami, check the flow
[Verse 2]
Okay it's one for the money, two for the time
Three for the opportunity to go for mine
We'll eliminate them s**a crews line after line
Shootin lyrics like a 9 with a style defined
From the minute I go in it takin sh** to the limit
Makin sure the hilltop is properly represented
Cause that be the rest pot, brothers that test got
A quarter for back, we make it hot like a zest spot
In the backroom we never make a wack tune
We got the props to get ya open like Black Moon
Brothers be testin me, booty style stressin me
Everybody claim they got the flava for the recipe
Some want the money, some do it for the s**in
Some spend they lives tryna sound like the next man
Well, I got sk**s on the mic, ayo I never fronted
The L's real, kid, so act like you want it
[Hook + Vocal sample in background]
[Bridge]
Check the flow
My peoples in Atlanta, check the flow
My peoples in Houston, check the flow
My peoples in Dallas, check the flow
My peoples in L.A., check the flow
[Verse 3]
No competition when I'm speakin on this non-fiction
Layin it down on 8 second bits of repetition
My expedition begins where my diction accents
The average level - I'm a certified funk rebel
Who won't tolerate emcees I consolidate
Into one crew, so less s**az I must run through
Who claim they nice on the mic, but what they got for me?
I'm something fierce when it comes to the auditory
My mic sings like a hummingbird, that's my word
My claim to fame is the fliest that you ever heard
Yo pa** the mic to L. Fly and let me catch wreck
Cause I gets busy, the show or the soundcheck
It doesn't matter yo, the pockets gettin fatter
You can save all the chatter cause we thick like batter
Somebody gotta win, somebody gotta lose
Yo I pay my dues and I refuse to lose
Givin crews the blues with any style you choose
We chantin real Hip-Hop, f** the "Ahh's!" and "Oo's!"
Yo the L's been phat, so you best protect ya neck
I hit the skins, collect the check - and now it's time to check
Check the flow
[Hook + Vocal sample in background]
[Bridge]
Check the flow
My peoples in Oakland, check the flow
My peoples in Seattle, check the flow
My peoples in Chicago, check the flow
My peoples in Detroit, check the flow
[Hook 2]
And on, and on
And on, and on
And on, and on
And on, and on
X2
[Outro over hook 2]
Nah I'm sayin? - Word is bond
Funkie Ave in the place, yah'mean?
Someone feelin this?
Hit the skin, y'nah I'm sayin?
Make a loop, S.C.U. nah'mean?
Brothers hatin, y'nah I'm sayin?
(inaudible voice in booth)
[Hook + Vocal Sample]
[Hook 3 to fade out]
Flow me

Why don't you flow then
