The Beat Change

Lyrics

[sadat x]
 Somebody went gold in the billboard, it was a x, but it was mia
 Young boys ran to me in the local pizzeria
 He said, "you jamar and haji man y'all hot to death.
 Can y'all save what's left, or at least make a claim? "
 Shorty remind me of myself when I started in this game
 And through years I'm basically the same, as are my brothers
 I'm the eight track flashback before the days of crack
 Is it real or an act, f**k it, let's save the kids
 Yeah you all about war, why you tryin to die for?
 Yeah them niggaz real raw but you sleepin on the floor
 Yeah I walk through the valley with my man spark and allie
 Days of money, in harlem week '85
 With the captain's hats, and my father's old guns
 Before I had a daughter, and before they had sons
 I stay the hypnotizer, style's a tranquilizer
 Got you feelin all loose, wettin up the goose
 The great datty x and I'm hear to say
 You can always find me around the way
 [lord jamar]
 Uhh, I be that kid with the dreads that remember
 When I hid from the feds, plus I always did what I said
 I was gonna do, talk shit, right in front of you
 Never forfeit, on top, we do it non stop
 Remember when we let the bomb drop
 With more jewels than a pawn shop from the school
 Of the hard knocks, straight off the now rule block
 Powerful aftershocks with the strength of master locks
 We got you in a paradox, between a rock and a hard place
 We got the hard bass
 And erybody's gon' get a taste, get your plate
 First we had to let it marinate, now we straight, uhh
 Five mics is how we rate, stand with us
 And stand amongst the likes of the great scandalous
 Cats, try they best to decipher the tape
 What we manifest still gets blessed in every state
 [grand puba]
 Hey listen here dog a nigga keep it spicy hot
 Rhyme flow stay straighter than six o'clock
 Hustle rhymes like a nigga hustle shit on the block
 The shit is work and got a 4.6 in the lot
 I hustle knowledge, charge tuition like a college
 My wisdom hold me down in town like jackie brown
 I teach _dangerous minds_, like that chick michelle pfeffeir
 That's why the gods check got at least 6 cypher
 My justice cypher born, I ain't no helpless type nigga
 Like a gat without a trigga I got the figure to make figures
 For years I've been doin this thing I do
 Since ralph mcdaniel's video show was on channel u
 Station 31, vice grip channel changer son
 The show was the banger, came in clear with a hanger
 Top notch status watch the God get it flamin
 Herbal with the verbal, drop top twin turbo
 Blazin for the year, born build to 2 g's
 Flow like these, help the God stack cheese
 Summer jet-ski, trunk with tv's
 Sittin under tropic trees with iced teas
 Mind stay positive black, guaranteed
 To grab the top dollar, more pull than the rottweiler
