React - Nowadayz lyrics

[Intro: Evidence] Listen. Ground Original, baby. JS-1 and Dub-L. El Da Sensai. One, two [Verse 1: Evidence] Yo, live from my laboratory. Lock my documents Collab with JS-1, cross the continent Confidence, blow your sh** to no tomorrow, kid We cold-hearted, but instead of borrow, give I used to live a little different from the rest Like "Instead of guard your grill, better guard your chest" Knock out, see blues, greens, and red Internal bleeding in Sweden in hospital beds Understand the fact, understand the difference A lot of sh** ain't hot—you might fit the description Print this, back drop nucleus Turns on apex, blowers with Nitrous Dilated squad super-charged flows This year, f** a jab—time to upper cut foes Pick your mic up like the weapon you chose And let off 'til all competition is froze Dilated [Scratch Hook] "Nowadays, it's the ways of the underground" - Artifacts' "C'mon Wit Da Git Down" "Bring it back—that old New York rap" - KRS-One's "Bring It Back" "The underground" "Ground Original" - Tonedeff "New York City" - C-Rayz Walz [Verse 2: C-Rayz Walz] Your pessimistic flows have no chance of stopping this Right before my Prime—I guess I'm in my Optimus The spiritual who conduct lyrical rituals are limited in numbers Among physical individuals who slumber Rehearsing nervous nurseries won't raise your dead poem I rep the underground sound like Chud with headphones Spit in your face, make my statements clear My Chinese astrology leaves me stuck in the Basement Year Extract the fear, get the facts clear. I swear Y'all pussies ain't been fresh since your last pap smear (Yeah) The Evidence is here to enhance your petty sight And JS (One!) still nice with his hands like Jerry Rice I don't need to end the verse in punctuation. Just pump the ba** in Watch my posse jump in and punch your face in I'm saying, "I'll become another memory to y'all A legend in the hood with my name on the walls because..." [Scratch Hook] "Nowadays, it's the ways of the underground" - Artifacts' "C'mon Wit Da Git Down" "Bring it back—that old New York rap" - KRS-One's "Bring It Back" "The underground" "Ground Original" - Tonedeff "New York City" - C-Rayz Walz [Verse 3: Pep Love] You know your n***a Pep get Love When I tunnel through the underground like Dig Dug, making black noise Mental food, crude black oil for you overemotional cats that lack poise Go through your b-boy convulsion as we keep coasting Super duper fly on a natural high, posting We 'bout to bring that real rap thrill back The zest and the zeal that you ma** appeal cats can feel Threaten when we get energetic and set it And soothe you with this musical sedative I breathe life into the beat and let it live My raps are rhetoric when the sh** get competitive For the love of my peeps and dope beats I'mma keep it copacetic for my folks in the streets As the all-eye-seeing earthquakes the ground JS be easy on the cut. No mistakes allowed [Scratch Hook] "Nowadays, it's the ways of the underground" - Artifacts' "C'mon Wit Da Git Down" "Bring it back—that old New York rap" - KRS-One's "Bring It Back" "The underground" "Ground Original" - Tonedeff "New York City" - C-Rayz Walz [Verse 4: React] I'm from the right side of the map, wrong side of the tracks B-side of the wax. East side and we back React. (Yo, who the hell is that?) In a minute and a half, you won't be asking that I kick a cla**ic rap to surpa** the wack So feel the aftermath of the Jura**ic scratch Ayyo, I have to laugh at the nonsense they talk They be running at the mouth but can they walk the walk? Yo, I live in New York and that's the city that never sleeps It's where dirty deeds get done dirt-cheap And I creep down deep below the surface Devising new ways to make the wack feel nervous My purpose on Earth is to write this And there's two things you can do about it: nothing and like it You might get food if you come from out of town But we down, by Lord, worldwide, underground [Scratch Hook] "Nowadays, it's the ways of the underground" - Artifacts' "C'mon Wit Da Git Down" "Bring it back—that old New York rap" - KRS-One's "Bring It Back" "The underground" "Ground Original" - Tonedeff "New York City" - C-Rayz Walz [Outro: Afrika Bambaataa] Peace, this is Afrika Bambaataa with my brother DJ JS-1 as he rock, shock your funky mind. One more time. One time for your mind. Hit me!
