State to state, state to state [Dug Infinite] Now you got to tell me right now, is you man or meese? Is it man or beast, cause I plan to release The rent essentials, what's my name, confidential Na nah don't tell a soul but I sold my credentials Skipper off my team, everybody Top Gun Fortify the army, you can't beat us with a pop gun I stop one allowed with one thought on my mind Number ten is a hero take that one and make him zero That's law, word to Shapiro, Infinite's a colonel Now put that in your journal better yet in your eternal We heavy like a sledgehammer, with Know the Ledge grammar A bad mamma jamma all the way to Alabama Chi-Town, where we don't fight over coasts Cause the one that's in the middle is the one that see the most No time for that (word) we burn cells, no time for fat Let's say you like brain cells, we like state to state "We skate on s**ers who perpetrate And lay down law from state to state" --] Run-D.M.C (repeat 3.5X) [Common] I, gain... ground Through my, pain... I came to bring it I brought it, to the forefront, work in the back Beauty Shop with the storefront Hyde Park beeper chicks with the hardcore c*nts Didn't grow up ghetto where I'm tryin to get to is the same as you I ain't a player, but I'm in the game with you It's people in my city, that's just as lame as you Laid the framework now at the door my name work Free drinks attention paid, that's how the game work My flow became land, with mathematics I reign supreme like the Rainman Piss in unknown spots, givin dap with the same hand Raps overlaps and fill gaps in the rap industry For those whose tired of the same similies Hood stories, and songs to homies in penetentiaries Chances I take over breaks, to make sh** interesting My city'll hold it down like bends in intersections Wanted to say f** the Police, I ain't had no protection Got the License to Ill, the real one got suspended in time Brother you'll see it ain't all about the promo _Source_ rating groupies and album photos A stick man with a message and a mag should be my logo Think I'll start sportin that instead of Polo, uhh... yo "We skate on s**ers who perpetrate And lay down law from state to state" (repeat 3.5X) [Dug Infinite] ... I decipher data Computer program the ill chatter Brain stimulize sparks everytime I reply My telescopic type topics smash your planet when I drop it Eighty-eight popped it and locked it Ninety-seven time to rock it, grown man status I'm pushin three-zero, I plan to be the baddest Like hip-hop hero in the game MC And makin sure that what you seein opens up your mind When I kick the hard to find, strategic, rhyme design Supersede your average line, intertwine when I combine Elevatin mankind, attract a scholar I convert poetry to dollars, a risk taker Money maker got no collar, this one n***a asked me Well who you be? I be a store ownin real-estate flippin MC Just makin beats on the side Another way to survive, A turn around artists Portfolio diversified, it's obvious I ain't your average hip-hopper To get up on the microphone and can't come proper I be the MC to keep the clubs cold jumpin I be the MC that's sayin somethin never nothin "... and lay down laws from state to state" "We skate on s**ers who perpetrate And lay down law from state to state" --] Run-D.M.C (repeat 3X)
