KA - Off the Record lyrics

[Verse 1: Ka] These pages tell my life in the 'ville Out here raising hell with license to ill This raging bull trying to get paid in full Going off, not knowing soft gauge to pull Runaway Slave, wanted dead or alive I hide good, but my hood I could never disguise Not a quarter, drank muddy water We was needy, 6 feet deep fate, can't escape like Whodini On the road to riches, a driven youth All my adventures were slick, I'm living proof In fact, if life was wax, I'd spin & rewind it Get your minerals grinded being criminal minded Doing wicked acts, no righteous moves Press this, let's remove that necklace, nice & smooth A lot of grit, not a bit of a sweet town Try to match, catch a critical beatdown I'm poor from young, being called a bum My team was branded nubian, we all for one No lie, doe or die, weight out a bundle Tryna rule so we could move straight out the jungle My answer was walk like a panther Cause life is too short, and poor is a cancer Take a look around, we all repping with the nina You know, in case a fool wanna step in the arena In the beef, we at least taking magnums So if it pops, I'm licking shots, breaking atoms Fear of a black planet so they go in leary For knots we can't be stopped, that's low end theory After flips took trips with swiftness No enjoyment, our deployment was strictly business The inf is tight spent the night on the block The solution for heavy bread is as light as a rock Rolled rude for soul food, totally a threat Seeds is speeding, needing holy intellect There's no retreat, we deep, try devising Wild so sheets could pile 3 feet high & rising Raw crew, all true, you heard we blitz strangers Came wack, got aimed at with 36 chambers To the d**h, that's how we k** static For reasonable doubt, squeezing out that ill 'matic We ready to die, the nights was real Fam learned how to k** a man in cypress hill Back the f** up, my gun a new Beretta Put us on a hard job, no one could do it better The pawn spoke, born broke, lived in pain No favors, coke saved us, long live the 'caine! Soon as I blew, knew nothing would limit me Be that mighty g from '93 til infinity Dead serious, with women, we was foul Had her smoking chronic to hit her doggystyle As far as respect, we failed his teams Was colder, now we older it's all hail the queens Hated we tainted that innocent girl Rudest b**h from most beautifullest thing in the world Vented the rage like we was bent in a cage Slow grind, now it's showtime, enter the stage We lusting yo, bum rush the show Legal drug money, got much to throw If I ain't mention this, we was infamous Now I seek to school, speak j**els in his sentences By margin dodging surprise of the beast Connects with the west, but son rise in the east I hold a four cause I know the score America's most wanted, my code is raw In full gear is your best protection Against the llama's, this ain't no promise or resurrection Write out the diary this war report Got supreme clientele, I give 'em more to snort Stay obedient, never get numbers this large Thought main ingredient was be the youngest in charge My strong plea all eyes on me, this is precious 'Fore things fall apart, I pray your heart get the message I was donned with baggage All these psalms calmed my savage How I live was often hectic All this is off the record I was donned with baggage All these psalms calmed my savage How I live was often hectic All this is off the record
