DJ Premier - Rosenberg Freestyle (Pre-release B4.DA.$$ Promo) lyrics

[Peter Rosenberg - bridging the Junior B pa**ing talk] Well, the beauty is... he can live on, you know, they will both live on through your music; I mean, the fact is we all know who Ill Will is, and Ill Will died as a kid... And we all know who Ill Will is, because Nas made him live on [Joey BADA$$] -Word up. That's why I put his name on everything I'm involved [Rosenberg] Well, then get ready to give him a proper shout-out right now... Cause what we need to do is set this thing off - We got Joey BADA$$ in the building, B4-da-Money is out Tuesday - It's real up in Hot 97 (...) [Joey BADA$$] Yeah, mic check uh (Whoo!) Before the money, before the money hungry, yeah 1-20, check it out check it out yo [Verse 1] The ridges under my soul is full of sh**, kinda like the gist of everything from most of y'all lips You see, the cash on the other side's greener, but nowadays I feel like I gotta walk with a nina Cause the streets got meaner, preachers got mad nice and my cousin just pa**ed like it just swerve in any matter Seconds minutes and hours, no to time to question the power, cause any blink'll demolish your current - is this the saga? So I'm honored to be here today - the world is ours, we should celebrate in every way Spread the knowledge to the youth, they tell it when we lay Six feet, I'm six feet, standin' on my own two, and my own shoulders, it's that deep Shift it to max beats, when I put my ego right into the back seat flowin' down my veins, runnin' tracks like a athlete It's insane, apex rap-thletics leave 'em ga**ed with the aesthetics Yeah, one-two, one-and-two, what it is? Comin' live with the kid Yo, shout-out to my man Rosenberg, my homie down for a minute, check it out uh [Verse 2] I'm from the broke land, you can get smoked and... New York lineage with the new ports hittin' Breakin' new support, better hide yo childrens too, another ape loose from the Brooklyn Zoo So watch the pigs in the blue, the jays got word from the same fake snakes that bit you too So get loose when they peep the pump they gettin' goosebumps, it's duck season leave your roosters slump Early in the mornin' put the wormy in the mouth, I'm from the north, but I'll make your pidgeons visit south Back to this cheese, no time for cat-and-mouse, I trapped a spouse I'm headin' out and I'm spazzin' out... Yeah yeah yeah yeah, uh, they can take nothing from me y'all Yeah, before the money, aight, this is really time to go in- [Peter Rosenberg interrupts, wants to start moderating, Joey shows disagreement] [Beat change] Aight... yo, yo, check it out, uh [Verse 3] Yeah we finna go ape sh**, banana clip through your drape sh** Dressed in Bathing Ape that a fly n***a's basic, take it sellin', face it What's my favourite line? -Give you that sour face my odour base is lemon-lime And I'm the spotlights, the camera, the action Blow off top if it ain't already packed in My flow is steady tight, heavy like Iron Fist, Dead Or Alive Been ready like Biggie back in 9-6, and I already died, steady rise Touch the sky, kiss God, learn to fly, and then I came back alive f**ed around, then did it twice, this is truly my third life About to turn 20, but I'm goin' on a 105 My soul is wise, filled with wisdom of a older guy, so when these little n***as talk why would I reply? I hold the light(n)ing, truly you're the one to fight, I break necks and smash faces, just off the flow and them cadences All my shoes in the hallway but don't kno what patience is You know I spit it hot like where Satan is, and you already know what the f** the station is So keep it locked cause my n***as feel gon' make you big From the top, but we're comin' for your nation, still on that world domination tip Yeah, comin' for that crown and your queens, she just comin' for the sake of it, yeah she love a n***a with jeans enough to take a flick Uh, exposin' that clip with a face in it And truly, I can end your life today with one click, nobody f**in' with my squad, n***a name one clique f** these n***as talkin' 'bout I'm lackin' the bars, n***a got so high they started shootin' at stars Comin' for the rap game, practicing my aim, who got an issue with this view? -I can blow your brains out Uh, I'm tryna eat right now, a stand out n***a beneath a seat right now And I can't bear to find no peace right now, my n***a STEEZ said it's time to release the beast right now Uh, so that's what I'm about to do, you say you're comin' for my plate? -Cool, you know you fool Don't step into my lane, dawg you gon' get chewed, and I don't f** with this rap game, I don't go by the rules, boy Uh, I'm from the school of the hard knocks, where n***as get dropped if they violate yo' block All the OG's gon' be pa**ed away, that's why the rap game run up on the cats today I'm a rap god and this is blasphemy, I just might be the next one just to pa** away It's either that or the torch gettin' pa**ed to me [Rosenberg being more careful this time] Hold on, I think I got one more I only got so far in my texts [Verse 4] Muthaf**a, it's the J-O-Z-I-F-B-A-D-M-O-N, come on, bring the menz on in I'm on the upside down, you can turn the menz upside down, we 'bout to win It's a L for the other side of him, most brains that you lost, I invite 'em in Know you feel the vibe when I'm all channellin', the innermost of my soul has been agrow for plenty gold But most of them labels don't pay me, so... Who you think investin' in them penitentiaries tho? -Same owners of the labels, same owners of your cable Spoon-feedin' you fables, tryin' to keep yo' mind stable, yo' eyes blindin' yo' skin's hazel The truth's under ya nazel, but even the air's all f**ed up - how we supposed to see stars with chemical trails above us? Plus some other sh** that's undiscovered, detached from the roots since we set sail, my brothers That's word to motherland, sowed us on stolen land, visions from brother man, we seen us all holdin' hands Fifty years later still see my brothers choke to d**h, R.I.P. to Eric Garner, only right I show respect Nowaday they hangin' us by the same tree, the branches of the government, I can name all three: Judicial, Legislative and Executive, lock your pops away, trap your moms and next the kids, it's all consecutive I'm just tryna break the cycle, I wonder if I do it all before they take my life, yo Crucify my image, the Lord is my witness, if them Heaven's Gates is closed I'mma break off the hinges for my n***as Yes, I'mma break off the hinges for my n***as
