Concrete Schoolyard

Lyrics

"We were sitting out on the step, you know"
 ♪
 Now, I'm a say this one time, boy, and that's my word
 We rockin' shots and not fire through the Hindenburg
 The contribution is clear, you add water to bone
 And get the Jurassic 5 on the microphone
 Now, if you like the tone and how the harmony's done
 And the sucker MCs die before they've begun
 Well I'd like to know if you've got the notion
 'Cause we're number one
 I'm not tryin' to say my style is better than yours
 I'm just on some other shit
 I'm all about the beats and the lyrics
 So when you hear it you can feel it
 The vibe is energized by the presence of my spirit
 No interference, we persevere, the purpose is clear:
 We're here to leave your ear hurtin' severe
 You're lurkin' in fear 'cause we take it back like Robin Loxley
 Rockin' from countrysides to spots where hard rocks be
 I often wonder if these MCs even know how it feels
 To dedicate they whole life to this mic of steel
 It's not about the bills, that's not keepin' it real
 A lot of tight rappers out here ain't got no deal
 We appeal to the brothers with flow finesse
 'Cause it's the 100 watt blood shot, game of death
 'Cause we're protected by the covenants of words and beats
 Rewind and feel the heat, recline and take a seat
 So, ah, let's take it back to the concrete streets
 Original beats with real live MCs
 Playground tactics, no 'rabbit in a hat' tricks
 Just that classic rap shit from Jurassic
 Let's take it back to the concrete streets
 Original beats with real live MCs
 Playground tactics, no 'rabbit in a hat' tricks
 Just that classic rap shit from Jurassic
 Now, I walk from Tanzania, earthquake Transylvania
 And on the way I kicked a hole through the Wall of China
 Just to get the right blend
 'Cause it's schizophrenic of the pathway to livin'
 I fell into the deep end
 You shouldn't have told me the pyramids can hold me
 So now a contest is what you owe me
 Pull out your beats, pull out your cuts
 Give us a mic, what up, and we gon' tear shit up
 I'm on some old and forgotten, sun up to sun down
 Like picking cotton, 'The Nutty Professor', science droppin'
 Rockin' Robin's Hood from New York to Compton
 Me and my three sons, Jabari, Shakir, and Kahsum
 So, ah, let's take it back to the concrete streets
 Original beats with real live MCs
 Playground tactics, no 'rabbit in a hat' tricks
 Just that classic rap shit from Jurassic
 Let's take it back to the concrete streets
 Original beats with real live MCs
 Playground tactics, no 'rabbit in a hat' tricks
 Just that classic rap shit from Jurassic

 Hey, I'm 2na-Fish from U-N-I-T-Y
 Do or die, anti-Illumaniti, why?
 Do the liquid from my vocals
 Make the ghetto start swimmin'
 Forever winnin', I'm in it like Meadowlark Lemon
 I get goosebumps when the baseline thumps
 A sucka MC freestyle, he had mine for lunch
 Marc 7even, get you open like an attache
 Briefcase, in this case, the victor is no way
 Ah, ah, the tool spinners cookin' the full dinner
 Killin' the first born of lyrical Yul Brynner's
 When is it the Academy rattlin' your anatomy?
 Gotta be J5, so kill all of your fake flattery
 That'll be the day when labels pay our way
 2na, what you say when MCs come to play?
 Man fi dead 'cause we take it back like Spinal Tap
 Preparin' your intellect before your final nap
 So ah, let's take it back to the concrete streets
 Original beats with real live MCs
 Playground tactics, no 'rabbit in a hat' tricks
 Just that classic rap shit from Jurassic
 Let's take it back to the concrete streets
 Original beats with real live MCs
 Playground tactics, no 'rabbit in a hat' tricks
 Just got beef, huh, watch how I'll settle it
 I'll fuck around and arrest your whole development
 I'm eloquent, when it comes to digital display
 I'm ready for the world while you earl off the Tanqueray
 Tactics, my shit's Jurassic 5
 Fingers of Death while you exhale and inhale
 With a deep breath with my chop suey style
 'Cause I'm a lyrical chef, I gets mines to the death
 'Cause I be cookin', from here to Brooklyn
 Your shit's annoying like fat-ass Bookman
 On Good Times
 When I rhyme I hit the designated area
 I hope you got your shots 'cause this is lyrical malaria
 Spreading, beheading fools with the punishment
 I live in America but fuck this government
 A hundred and fifty times over silk with lead
 While y'all drink the Similac, my rhymes are breast-fed
 No artificial nipples, I flip the real skills
 I thought I told you once I kick the lyrical windmills
 And backspin Benedict, strictly for my benefit
 I step on toes when I flow don't get offended
 Come and get with it
 Comprehended when I kick it
 I represent the real
 From the beginning to the end of it
