DJ Premier - Takeit2thetop lyrics

[Intro] Alright.. Hahaha! Yeah, show these n***as what it is Rock, to the beat (Ha ha) Bump, Knux, in the booth, rockin Yo.. [Verse One] These n***as wanna be me, huh, life real With a no-end policy and, mic sk**s I feel like when I'm, on-stage then I'm Bumpy Obama with bars that I pen out Before I get out, I spit out the pain That I been through the last twenty years (word) Change amongst hip-hop peers, I got eyes, I got ears I ain't dumb, where I'm from, loyalty is rare And that's fair in the ghetto Like street ball double dribble Like walls of graffiti scribble Like c-lo triples, back to back Over Preemo, I got it and mashed the packs And everyday we hustlin, grindin Watchin old n***as we fed side-windin I draw a fine line, if you cross it, B Over ya head in the casket where the cross'll be, word up! [Hook: Bumpy Knuckles] (DJ Premier cuts and scratches) I'm tryin to take it.. (take it...) Take it to the top ("Whatcha game be like?"- Clipse) ("Move back, we attack" - Prodigy) ("But this industry'll play with ya life, man" - Rakaa Iriscience) I'm tryin to take it.. (take it...) Take it to the top ("Whatcha game be like?") ("Move back, we attack") ("But this industry'll play with ya life, man") [Bumpy Knuckles] When I was young, I had a premonition That my mission would be, to body competition And while I'm tryin to take it to the top Every level is a bottom with a battle on it - haha, who really want it? BOW~! Hit you with the long of ether, now you left blown Only one speaker, alright? Me! All night G On stage with a vest under a white tee, on my whole team Elevated levels of mind states and age brackets Don't mean that I won't clap it (POW!) And where the elevated mind state shows up at Is when I murder you, I won't rap it And never let, these n***as get comfortable, playin you out Think about what you say, or I'm layin you out Hands up for the culture and everybody that's true to it Watch what you let people do to it [Hook] (DJ Premier cuts and scratches) [Outro] Ha ha ha! Feel good, word Salute DJ Premier, that's my n***a
