Intro featuring Jimi Hendrix
First Verse :
From Mic Checks to Sound Checks tryin to get a Pay Check
Sony Walkmans that use to play ca**ettes
That's - right after 8 tracks before CDs and record labels ain't know about an MP3
Now Emcees don't need deals when record companies wanna piece of your brand so they can more money
Ain't funny how they use to say no biting allowed
Now a days if you don't bite how you expect to chow
And everybody gota eat get your vitamins and nutrients
We all for one but we ain't all nubian
Some got division when they need to add on
And some that got theirs off refuse to put others on
It's okay I guess
It's survival of the fittest now either you is or you ain't build for this - dig it?!
My duty be to manifest the thoughts I receive its all a pre-reality my mind conceive
With a tailor made from the collar to the sleeves
Lookin good layin over my fresh white tee
If I say so myself and I'm sure you agree
And if you ain't know its all free like frei
Cause it's one for the money that you make in a recession
Two for the girls that keep their man guessing
Three for the kids in school study your lesson
This life we live is such a blessing
So let's get it!
