Pete Rock - Monumental lyrics

[Verse 1: Tek] I let the music talk to me, I reply to the mike Who relays it to the board and tells the engineer record He matched me to the track like the leaves of a tree We beautiful together like the L and the V (Louie) My bond to the music, living for the people You can hear our conversation through the speakers (Hear me) Ten stacks of ink in my flesh Spend money, get money, your boy ain't done yet Dropping in the drop, six forty-five The AC on, heat forty-five I'm hood tested, streets approve A gemini with many moves (That's me) I could change the colors in your ring My Italian boys ba da boom, ba da bing (forget about it) My work ethic is epic You don't have to like it but you will respect it [Hook: Tyler Woods] Celebrate till we are on top of your girl Look at your summer, I'm on top of the world I sit on the set, this time it's a bet Anything I want, you know I could get I'm high off of life, doing it right Empire state, view of the lights Put your gla** in the air, the sky's the limit Make a toast cuz we here, you know how we did it (It's monumental) [Chorus: Tyler Woods] This is for the hustlers, this is for the homies Ride through the hood with me This is for the soldiers, this is for the riders This is strictly for my Gs [Verse 2: Steele] Peep the chemisty, I'm a scientist You see the imagery, I envision what power is I'm a novelist, known scholars acknowledge this Home grown, yea Tone about his biz You know what it is, fam first, vow to my nig See the future every time I look at my kids Monumental, influential, incidental, them boys official She how they do over instrumentals, became artists The game start them We train hard like heavyweights in the Garden Remain humble, the jungle tear you apart When you're tired on your carpet, cold in your apartment It can happen to you, it can't happen to me I stay on top of my game, keep an ear to the streets Keep an ear in the streets, you can hear and repeat Leaving truths for the youth, you can follow my feet [Hook: Tyler Woods] Celebrate till we are on top of your girl Look at your summer, I'm on top of the world I sit on the set, this time it's a bet Anything I want, you know I could get I'm high off of life, doing it right Empire state, view of the lights Put your gla** in the air, the sky's the limit Make a toast cuz we here, you know how we did it (It's monumental) [Pete Rock] Sometimes, I be in the studio, just zoning out Relaxed and writing lyrics down each day and out No doubt, I used to run around NY but never without The inspiration of hip hop before I head out Rest in peace to Mr. Magic If it wasn't for Herc or [The Incredible Bongo] Band, we wouldn't have this It's hard to get rid of me like a bad habit Your thoughts I can read them like X-Men, embarra**ing Pete is ever lasting, consider me a high dose for aspirin Soothing to the dome, haters, get off my throne I'm in the zone, don't stop me It's like tenth-round, Apollo Creed and Rocky, I stick and move And stay true to what's real Like the Price is Right, turn back the spinning wheel Pete Rock, he been around, doing hip hop for sound I make history leap every single bound I'm no clown, I get it in, you already know From the grill of Pete Rock, n***as act like you know I'm no clown, I get it in, you already know From the grill of Pete Rock, n***as act like you know It's monumental [Hook: Tyler Woods] Celebrate till we are on top of your girl Look at your summer, I'm on top of the world I sit on the set, this time it's a bet Anything I want, you know I could get I'm high off of life, doing it right Empire state, view of the lights Put your gla** in the air, the sky's the limit Make a toast cuz we here, you know how we did it (It's monumental)
