Raisin' the Stakes

Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey
 Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey
 We started from hooligans with brothers that shoot at jobs
 Take it back around the way trying to build a future form
 Our peoples are still lost get through no matter 'cause
 We run it out of town but you still wanna floss
 Not because you getting money, don't mean you better off
 Can't join that late nights, now take that Gucci sweater off
 Too heavy for rap, have to take a slight measure off
 Spin that George broth back, you in that white colored cloth
 Like Oliver North, my fate detected
 My feelings is forced, bullets get ejected
 Mothers scream into ours, I've been through the force
 Sauteed rappers with sauce and mix them up with tofu
 And no beef of course when I say give me some room
 And I mean a loft big bitching too fast scenery from the boys
 Greenery live with the torch, a bad piece hitting New York
 You can't listen if you know that you're soft, jump on the stage
 Chain rattling, the lance is street haggling
 Underground scriptures thrown at you like a javeling
 Tone of my voice unraveling, they fall in about
 As quick as you know time is traveling
 Can't you imagine that you see me every day on the streets
 From crown heights to castle in the comfort castle back into my own speech
 Mozambique, the time in Cologne that flavors have flown
 Earn a few shillings then I'm heading back home setting the tone
 And raising the stakes, and rhyming the breaks
 High school flows giving rappers the shakes
 On the corner posted up, henesy styrofoam cups
 Man we still living it's surprising like what
 Bring on the skeptics, let them know ten years fully vested
 Been down like Amadeus blend the eclectic
 Respected like the full pound
 It's like Horatio girl you gotta love the way it's going down
 Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey
 Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey
 Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey
 Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey
