[Intro] My peoples in Boston, check the flow My peoples in Rhode Island, check the flow My peoples in Connecticut, check the flow My peoples in New York, check the flow My peoples in Jersey, check the flow My peoples in Philly, check the flow My peoples in Delaware, check the flow My peoples in Baltimore, check the flow Now check it [Verse 1] Okay so n***as got sk**s but still be jockin mine I shape them cyphers in the form of octagons So my sh** can ricochet off the whole brigade And blow up on emcees like a live grenade I got that sh** you lookin for so put it into quest Infinite numbers count the flows I possess Ancient rhyme styles are now put to a rest Give you pains in your chest like work-related stress I come to block rhymes and those who front Glock 9's Gangster stories, and perpetrate the hard times Out with the days when the darkness chased the youth It's time for sun, race and finally then raise the truth And bring forth the light, cuz it's only right To brothers with real sk**s get to rock the mic Curse the gimmicks, I hate fake wa*ksters and mimics It's time for Hip-Hop to be truly represented Check the flow [Hook + Vocal sample in background] You know you've got a flow that makes me feel so nice You know you've got a flow that makes me feel so right You know you've got a flow that makes me feel so good Flow on, flow on [Bridge] Check the flow My peoples in DC, check the flow My peoples in Virginia, check the flow You with them Carolinas, check the flow My peoples in Miami, check the flow [Verse 2] Okay it's one for the money, two for the time Three for the opportunity to go for mine We'll eliminate them s**a crews line after line Shootin lyrics like a 9 with a style defined From the minute I go in it takin sh** to the limit Makin sure the hilltop is properly represented Cause that be the rest pot, brothers that test got A quarter for back, we make it hot like a zest spot In the backroom we never make a wack tune We got the props to get ya open like Black Moon Brothers be testin me, booty style stressin me Everybody claim they got the flava for the recipe Some want the money, some do it for the s**in Some spend they lives tryna sound like the next man Well, I got sk**s on the mic, ayo I never fronted The L's real, kid, so act like you want it [Hook + Vocal sample in background] [Bridge] Check the flow My peoples in Atlanta, check the flow My peoples in Houston, check the flow My peoples in Dallas, check the flow My peoples in L.A., check the flow [Verse 3] No competition when I'm speakin on this non-fiction Layin it down on 8 second bits of repetition My expedition begins where my diction accents The average level - I'm a certified funk rebel Who won't tolerate emcees I consolidate Into one crew, so less s**az I must run through Who claim they nice on the mic, but what they got for me? I'm something fierce when it comes to the auditory My mic sings like a hummingbird, that's my word My claim to fame is the fliest that you ever heard Yo pa** the mic to L. Fly and let me catch wreck Cause I gets busy, the show or the soundcheck It doesn't matter yo, the pockets gettin fatter You can save all the chatter cause we thick like batter Somebody gotta win, somebody gotta lose Yo I pay my dues and I refuse to lose Givin crews the blues with any style you choose We chantin real Hip-Hop, f** the "Ahh's!" and "Oo's!"
