[Verse 1: Lady Essence]
Hey yo Rox what you got? And Zee, yo what you runnin' with?
It's "Slug" when I rock, "Ali", and yo that "Budden" sh**
That "Walk With Me", "Calm Down", "Follow My Lead"
That talks to me when I fall down, swallows my greed
And keeps my pride up and check, no fly rides when I wreck the vibes
My timeline: '99 in the deck
Lauryn Hill, Lauryn Hill, that miseducation's real
But without you in my life I'd be uneducated still
No elevation in my brain and regulating how I feel
Like my nerves had been shot without the words of hip-hop
It was supposed to be a phase, I've matured to the shock
Wasn't rock, wasn't country, no they couldn't figure out
Dreamed of blocks that would bump me and I couldn't live without
Just listenin' and feelin' as a really pent-up girl
It was Nas, it was Pac, it was Me Against the World
Love from the start, hip-hop within my world
[Hook: O*Zee]
We're one of a kind, two of the greatest
The definition of cla**ic, this music is ageless (yeah)
Some people hatin', and they stay driven to doubt you
But love is love, I don't see me ever livin' without you (nah)
[Verse 2: O*Zee]
Yo dear Hip-hop...
If you disappeared in a moments time
I'd probably feel alone and dyin' straight up load the iron
And point it at my dome and fire, say hello to Zion
Like my motives was flyin' with angels like I'm Nolan Ryan
I ain't lyin' baby, you kinda drive me crazy
Together we'll Roc this whole nation like we signed with Jay-Z
I think of you with every line I melt
I'm O*Zee n***a, even when I'm by myself
But me without beats? like Cleveland short a player out in South Beach
In the ring with Pacquiao without a mouthpiece - Goodnight dude
See you're the only reason why I'm still at it
You're my lifeline, my "In my Lifetime", my "Illmatic"
Little dudes they don't dare to be grown
Because with age comes responsibility so we're the heir to the throne
We're known to be fly, whenever theres some air to be flown
Legendary they gon' bury us where they buried Capone
