Lyrics
to be, a street performer emcee
steppin off street corners
or not to be, steppin up on ya
if you cant work the crowd, get in the crowd
some emcees
still dont know what it means
and their spots never blown
minds never owned
thoughts never home on the microphone
young kid got drawn to the three
new york city emcees
blue suede pumas, ringer ts
you never could get like that
or get up on the mesh like these
nuts hang past my knees
when i see the crowd
my PAs gonna get loud
youll never get my back, oh please
cause just my brother got that
1,2 up in you like
the project groove you wanna get into
never was down with OPD
so no glock but im ginsu
chop for your block
youre the smoke, im the rock
youre the joke
and i told you to everybody in the workshop
some emcees have not, but ive got
so dont fuck with me
kaleidescopic energy
i want to know what separates me
from the 2D
stands me out in relief from the Bs
and keeps my sound clouded from my enemies
2 street performer emcees
walking up 2nd avenue in the morning
steam drains up from the underground heat
35 degrees but it twist the stage 360
a couple kids from the 5
with crazy different histories
but still family
so leave your mic with us and catch the bus
ill leave your blueprints in the dust
to be a street performer emcee
stepping off street corners
or not to be, a street performer emcee
stepping off street corners
or not to be, a street performer emcee
give me the bolt of lightning in the manos
boy motherfuckers transfixed with the pathos
ill hit the stage with the rage
hittin' me with a fist
ill get em up like this with a vengeance
shotgun cocked in direction of aryan nation
sucker show patience
lock hollowpoint infection on every last
hooded motherfucker in the section, buckaa!
like flames of ice, advanced forms of pain
brotherhood inflict heat flash
in the pouring rain
ill timed emceess get venemous
rhymed in the silence
take em downtown with the...
the blacktop move with irreverence
to police presence, hesitate
anytime i get the presidents rhymin
but other times ill do it
just for the hell of it
irrelevant rhymes innocent
move from the path of intelligence
from the underland
every time i hit the microphone hell-bent
somehow heaven-sent from the devil elements
loose motherfuckers turn death resident
my sound pay dividends
past tense emcees want to know
where the fuck it went
and mad dog me with murderous intent
if you cant work the crowd
get in the crowd
i got a passion for the action
got a psyche for the noise and lights
i got a jones for the microphone arright?
we have become
street performer emcees
steppin off street corners
a lot of emcees still dont understand
you cant work the crowd, get in the crowd
