Mr. Lif - Boston lyrics

* the hidden track at the end of the album - CD only [Mr. Lif] I've got universal thoughts in my dome But I've gotta let you know how it is back home In Boston - the place that I dwell Where Esoteric and 7L dropped heads well We're virtuoso on the track - so go grab it Gotta say peace to my man Akrobatik You heard us on inhuman And we're steadily improvin' Brothers till the conclusion Probe lyrical my man Trevski Rise with the critical eyes Papa D Who believed in me From the very first track When I was Lif to the man And he started back pack productions With the archaeologist Steve Who made madness in '95 you see The beggining of a dynasty And can't forget the legendary Ninja-B He used to build with me Before I even made a song He said the road is paved but long And many things can go wrong What's up One Sense with the cuts intense Showing up with the bliz And reminding me to live to the fullest Plus recognize where the bull is So I'd never get stuck Big up T-Ruck and Insight Hip Hop will be in shock when we unite Knights of the Round Table Will be the brothers to beat Gotta send a shout to the Governor Pete Plus my man Fakts the producer of this track He's nice on the wheels in fact Why don't you give him a scratch [Fakts One] scratches "Boston" 2X If you search for the city of which I talk Its about four hours northeast of New York And if its our sports history you observe You'll find legends such as Bobby Orr and Larry Bird And I remember when sh** was hot - we used to not Be able to see Hip Hop without the threat of getting shot But Ed O G held it down and so did R S O Plus Guru came form here as you know And I've had the honor of watching the scene grow Pete from Dif used to go And lock down studio time just so brothers could flow We all were excited and none could wait To be featured on his new very freestyle tape MCs worked hard and few were lienient Back when Metro Concepts was main ingredient A couple of times a month They used to spin Hip Hop at the western front So people could come down and check the underground sound Mics would open up and MCs would gather round With enough mental force to shatter sound No body sat around - they all stood attentive Cause the styles that they heard and observed Were ultimately fly and inventive Big up to Bruno from Bisquithead He made a fly deal with the dred consignment To put my first record in alignment With the rest of y'all rap artists on the wall Emerson Radio, MIT Northeastern Tufts and BC Keep the airwaves blaze and I remember back in the days When I used to check Dave Mays On Harvard Radio 95.3 That was the first time that I heard Kool Keith Mays soon went on to start The Source And help make Hip Hop a media force Fortunately as the story goes Bruno, Metro, and Dif Productions Organized shows with well known artists So they could expose The hard working local MCs that they know And Lo and Behold the sk**s have gotten refined Their presence is tight and the stage show is designed And there's no doubt in my mind As long as we use all three eyes an' Keep strivin' We opening acts now, about to be headlining Defining rhyming I love every single one of y'all - keep shining!
