it gotta be
L O V E
for the people
we major league
originals
not the sequels
they intrigued
by the breed
of eagle
can't believe
my briefcase
stays legal
so many years
many fears
of the pedigree
and if something went wrong
wasn't long
for they said it's me
why these haters
can debate us
just from memory
going through changes
all these strangers
is what's sent to me
it's just the latest
they can't fade us
or downgrade us
on the date it's
heavy labor
on our wages
who the greatest
Ramon Razors
check the papers
movers shakers
from bodegas
out to vegas
guess i'm famous
even failures
made the playlist
middle aged
underdog
to the favorite
standing tall
though we're small
we venerated
in the mall
like sean da paul
I'm extra rated

I heard it slap on the east side
I heard it slap on the south side
I heard it slap on the west side
I heard it slap on the outside
I heard it slap on the east side
I heard it slap on the north side
I heard it slap on the west side
I heard it slap on the upside


I got to say
we don't play
on the microphone
cherish the day
I sade
on the microphone
my words swerve
ballet on the
microphone
shout out tolouse
and marseilles
on the microphone
I spit that
steak filet
entree
cabernet beaujolais
escalade
in the drive way
then we get high
jersey drive
105
in my minds eye
every biggie
rhyme i got
filed away
nevertheless
could care less
what the survey says
gimme some fresh
polo and guess
with cervazas
and a friendly girl
who unattached and
curvaceous
sipping cherry coke
cuz her style be
outrageous
catch the vapors
raptors lakers
they can't break us
circuit breakers
so they hate us
though we are neighbors
I made the A list
still they think that they
can grade us
man they can't fade us
plus I'm here
just for the ladies

I heard it slap on the east side
I heard it slap on the south side
I heard it slap on the west side
I heard it slap on the outside
I heard it slap on the east side
I heard it slap on the north side
I heard it slap on the west side
I heard it slap on the upside

I can't stop
can't grieve
can't worry none
lotta of liars
in the world
ain't gimme none
lotta frauds in the game
all the fraudulence
then they got the nerve
to try to ask
what my problem is
all the trouble in
the world seem
bottomless
with everything to say
around the way
unsigned anonymous
very hard to stay
autonomous
you can't make it on
your own
and some partnerships
is profitless
it's so hard in this
metropolis
only gift I got was
kryptonite
man that's preposterous
and 9 to 5 just so monotonous
we started at the bottom
and so many of us fatherless
i see the lines on my face now
since I can't seem to get
these Federales off my case now
and every day just more crucial
spit a rhyme over a beat
trying to make myself
useful

I heard it slap on the east side
I heard it slap on the south side
I heard it slap on the west side
I heard it slap on the outside
I heard it slap on the east side
I heard it slap on the north side
I heard it slap on the west side
I heard it slap on the upside
