No doubt, U don't know what it's about
Anybuddy wanna props but ain't nobuddy goes the teacher's rout
To teach'em how we get skillz nowadays man
Originality's the bottom line and the basement
(No replacement!) That's why U recognize the steez
Whether u see it in da vidz or just hear it on the cdz
Or mp3z... or even tags on them canvases
Of empty streets... full of teks, tools and languages
Yo... It's neva been about the best copy, cat's stop it
Why ya'll tryin' to bring the second hand hip and hop in?
Which cru's the maddest, who got the illest status
F*ck the flava in ya ears like Craig Mack neva said it
(Boyeee!) U neva had it, why U claimin' all dat
Wanna see the real Hip Hop, son? So check the cassette!
And pay homage! At least u gotta show some respect
To all the elders we declare architects! (Zulute!)
And that's a fact it ain't no future wit no past
We mutually pro-gress and I'm signin' for no less
(That's why) Um still wit Ghetto Blasta blazin'em beats
My man Smack hook me up we boutta 'mazin'em streets
"Give it to U 24\7" on the spills and spits
Flyest material dat's real indeed!
(Uh...) We got the steel and outta take it to peeps
Let'em know dat we playin' for keeps...
