Esoteric - Speaking Real Words lyrics

[Intro: Inspectah Deck] Yo... INS the Rebel, your highness. With 7L and Esoteric "Speaking Real Words." Speak on it, kid! [Verse 1: Esoteric] Yo, I touch the mic like a savage The Esoteradactyl's rap style's beyond average To say the least. I'm slayin' beasts with the right plan I'll take your hype man and beat him with the mic stand You're like, "Damn! I better get a resource" I'll overpower three-fourths of your police force You're talkin' to a fugitive who'll serve your crew Fake his own d**h and come back to murder you Who raps to the crack of dawn? Who's the droid who destroyed numerous humanoids like atom bombs? You're nothin' but a tag-a-long that I be raggin' on 7L's on the cut, while Joe is tappin' on The 3000. Me, I'm just loungin' Waitin' for a s**er MC to start poundin' You know the deal, so check the ca**ette It's Esoteric and Inspectah Deck. What you expect? [​Hook: 7L Cuts and Scratches] [Verse 2: Inspectah Deck] Yo, yo, yo I stash heat, creep past police on the beat Keep it movin' in the mean streets. I the black sheep Roll deep with the k**a Beez, quick on the squeeze Freeze. Nobody move, just hand over the Gs Gone with the breeze. Everything's peace at ease Now I'm laid back, countin' stacks, twistin' the trees My rap's scorchin'—way beyond third degrees Enemies get blown like autumn leaves Authorities comb the block. I'm peepin 'they steez After me 'cause the rhyme's worth about two kis And double that 'cross seas Fiends buy off the heez—the result's more currencies Them no worry we. I strike 'em down suddenly Funny how they rush me. Must be the money You hate me or you love me, don't ever (f**) me Trust me, we can make the scene turn ugly [​Hook: 7L Cuts and Scratches] [Verse 3: Esoteric] I'm like a man possessed that can't confess Yes, it's the Es' to bless, wicked test pressed to rest Crab rapper, my raps shatter your wax platter Esoteric's data can stab up the tracks madder My words flow for the rap cats who rep locally Transmit poetry fit to hit 'em globally Eso'. Yes, status fresh from the get go Sinister, ready to administer the d**h blow On rap cats 'cause I'm takin' it back To a time when it was cool to call hip-hop "rap" 'Cause I've been rappin' since fly sneakers were cheap Since I bought 'em off Koreans down on Washington Street Since I had a cameo, since I rocked rope chains Since I had gold fronts with the Polo frames Since "Goin' Way Back," since pro-black rap Since the Jungle Brothers let me know "I Got it Like That" [​Hook: 7L Cuts and Scratches]
