VON POE VII - Spotlights (Pete Rock Tribute) lyrics

Voicemail: "Hi, Chad. I just want to say Happy New Years, and I am so proud to be your Mom. I'm so proud of you, I always have been. You're such a hard worker, I don't know anyone who works as hard as you do. And I want you to just continue to believe in yourself as I do, and enjoy your life. Love you sweetie, bye" - Paula "Momma Poe" Stafford Introduction: Uh, what's the word word? Yea, Riverside reppa! Perris representative. Pete Rock on the beat, welcome to the streets [Verse One] Ayo I'm back with the verbal ratchet With a package to feed the ma**es of savages They be acting rowdy But knowing that they counterfeits My panoramics Visionary consistent with these melodies Lifting weights like Hercules I bring the god degrees on anything I travel across the seven seas My enemies dying fatal, 360 It be the softest n***as that always try to temp me Words of wisdom See smoking on this blunt has got me lifted And sippin this Modelo got me enjoying the liquid See I'm just living Cause we all dying at the end though Better stack up Cause the moment I grab the mic I snatch the megabyte I ain't playing n***as will rob you and your mans for contemplating See we playing a game of Chess You just a pawn compared to Agent Smith So what you want though? That money and the fame huh? Xzibit's paparazzi flashing infinite depression It's a shame You n***as is in the rap game But only for the fortune and the fame What's the word n***as? [Chorus: INI] You always want to be in the spotlight, right? The center of attention I also have to mention INI rocks the spot It's like that cause we keepin it hot [Verse Two] Ayo I'm back with the verbal ratchet With a package to feed the ma**es Wisdom from the ancients I'm talking hover crafts and spaceships That African resurrection Indigenous reparations Generations after generations Bump this in your basement Let it bleed throughout your stereo And if we get this right dawg That's educated Kings and Queens Thoughout the barrio holmes That Black and Brown You need to unite for me holmes Cause I'm a Cali mothaf**a And Riverside is my home, that 951 I'll treat it like the baseline to your beatbox I'll spit a dirty sixteen Then we mobbin out to the liquor spot That Diddy bop Perris representative ain't no illa You ain't a k**a The only time you dope is over Dilla, n***a
