His excellency the most poetically inventive Official hip hop sh** that's ya incentive To cop this actual fact and not the likeness Cause possibly clones 'd try to do it like this Fathom this lyrically fabulous vocabulist Hold mic like four fifth and lick shot So what, like Pete to wreak Rock? I think not I don't just smoke, I sleep drink and think Pot I want the type of vehicle that brings God Composing till the inks hot my hip hop is wild megawatts Continuous forever exist and never stop What up whatever op, we can thicken the plot because (Chorus) And it's time for that and it's about that time It's time for that and it's about that time Rob 0 it's time for that and it's about that time Pete Rock it's time for that and it's about that time Black Thought it's time for that and it's about that time [Rob O] I'm Rob 0 what, energize like a power plant blow speakers Without an amp do things these wack rappers can't And start again 33 rpm the hearts of men It's cold like the steel I hold on microphones Let my words express move men like chess My mic will stand erect like projects It's drastic top draft pick in this rap sh** You just a fraction caught up in the midst of action My catalog is current events breath the contents What I move crowds for local events the show stopper 98 feature spot rocker Rob Odendo Now every MC wanna mention me out of envy Unofficially top of the charts I played my part Held it down from the start you know the M.O Yeah yeah Rob Odendo (Chorus) [Pete Rock] Yo it's the Capital P book rhymes of the century Speak rap line essentially on the M-I-C I hold the mic appliance like science My competitors and clients worldwide as my words coincide With real life think twice transmit like true lies It's televised take my man*scripts out of context Who want next situation is complex Stop the nonsense it's 98 time to set the record straight Separate movers and shakers from those that hesitate Ya featherweight name carry weight in every state Ya name brand no frills n***as is marinate It's Pete Rock new world innovator Crush imitators five years since the creator It's nuff said as I paint the town red and move ahead (Chorus)
