Pete Rock - Step Up lyrics

[Intro : Grap Luva] A little bit, if you can get it out I ain't gonna say it, cause I'll mess it up...go ahead then Yeah, know what I'm sayin' InI's in the place Here to do our thing, you know what I'm sayin' step up time Time to claim something that's real out here know what I'm sayin' Something that you can live for know what I'm sayin Seize you know what I'm sayin Time to build time to step up yo [Verse 1: Rob-O] I stay at the center of news, gossip and interviews (You can't lose g) Overstand the rules, see the style that can woo When you witness the God of the groove Saying the sh** to smooth, to make you move Show and prove, plus attract a lot Yeah I'm hot like what up in your face with the product No hesitation in a world of frustration Cause I'm facing a grown man sport situation [Verse 2: Grap Luva] Check it Each time we hit the studio we lay down laws With no pause, we already belittled the flaws Sheer perfection like the ultimate driver machine We stand lean, and always literate what we mean Brothers don't be overstanding the plans that we be havin' Crushing all these clowns cause it's all about the mic grabbin' I'm from the land where the righteous and the woo gress The Vernonville will live the life that be the true test [Hook : Pete Rock] Step up, step up time, etc [Verse 3: Ras G] (Selah?) The prayer starts now you smell the first sparks of the flame The gods warn me that it's not a game So it's he, so proceed The first seed was dropped when InI came to rock the spot I caught the props when I flocked to the hot jams at the city The shorties look pretty wanna join my commitee Of rude-boy rebels, underground like the devil But I never pray just maintain eyes daze from smoke And thoughts about the stages getting smoked Concentration on going for broke You know you can't cope with the rasta with the fire in his eyes Yo it ain't no surprise I keep it live to survive the sh**stem I can't get caught up as a victim But if I do, I go out lickin' over the stickin' Cause I'm 'bout fed up as a fat boy It's time for INI to make noise [Hook: Pete Rock] Step up, step up time, etc [Verse 4: Grap Luva] So now you know there's no need to stop elevating Penetrating the gla** top Hold on to manhood before your life Cause some situations are bound to give strife You won't get a harvest if you don't sow seeds Ill-gained wealth brings stress from dirty deeds The choices that you make will fulfill your needs But the sh** you go through will be hard to believe [Rob-O] Yo, the sh**'s ridiculous, and I should know by now Still this particular flow gets me over somehow From selling crils in the streets to making phat beats You f**in' with cheeks to make your ends meet The wrong move spells defeat, so wisdom is shown Things I see vs the knowledge is known I won't apologize for seeds I've sown It's step up time, you're on your own [Hook: Pete Rock] Step up, step up time, etc [Outro: Pete Rock] And we out INI flavor peace Grap Luva, Rob-O, Ras, Marco Polo, InI Grap Luva on the beat Sure sound complete And my name is Pete And we out til' next week Peace
