DJ Premier - My Influences lyrics

[Intro: Scratches by DJ Premier] "Today black entertainers, singers, comedians, writers, and artists Are getting their share of the limelight And every week We'll be bringing you a genuine sample of Genius on the black side" "Two brothers" "Listen" "Let me talk Let me talk" [Verse 1: Panchi] I want to thank my influences for why I prevail Hunger pains, the landlord, oh yeah, jail Stash, cash 'nother man holdin' the gate Made it big enough to fit so when I run off straight New York times, we rep hard Heard I made an Amish broad go cop an iPod The video is rocking, iTunes's in love with us Downloaded crazy, word the world f**s with us (When Vel got shot), we laughed, don't believe me? The hospital staff said you n***as was "a**" When I was young in the town Running wild with heat I ruined more boys lives than a Catholic priest Turn the other cheek Where only [?] gets mad On my left side thinking that his a** could creep Back out on the whole street, you n***as know P I've been dumbing since so young and I'm an NYG [Hook: Scratches by DJ Premier] "Here we go again n***a Right back in the booth, right back in the groove" "NYGz" "Me and my crew make it our duty to get back on the streets" "Here we go again n***a Right back in the booth, right back in the groove" "NYGz" "Name a rapper that I ain't influenced" [Verse 2: Shabeeno] I put my heart in my music, cats I went to school with Back in their minds like, "This n***a still doing it?" Speak Ebonics, probably blowing their chronic Back in their minds, "Damn, this n***a still go it?" Yup, ain't lose a step and my swag is still good Street certified, that's why my raps be so hood And y'all could ask Suge we got a timeless flow We sound like Big and Hov flowing on d**h Row Cross me and force me to try to get the Feds off Cuz we gon' to hit the streets trying to take each other head off Hydrochlorothiazide won't be bringing down my pressure Guess I won't relax 'til I see you on a stretcher I fuks with Game but he be buggin' on things Somebody tell him, LeBron won a couple of rings This the hustler's thing, we call it "Get Money Music" And we don't have to prove it, y'all can Youtube it [Hook] [Outro 2x: Scratches by DJ Premier] "NYGz" "They knew the time" "New York Gz"
