The Professional

[O.C.]
 Uhh. yeah, yo
 Touch not, what not, say what one would
 Aim is to move not back but frontwards
 Go set eye upon the prize, more soul, also
 ("ladies and gentlemen") pleasure's all O's
 Most know, some might not, find it irrelevant
 Age with wisdom, speak with intelligence
 Switch pitch up, let's see if hitters swing with it
 Beat awkward, let's see how many people cling to it
 Different design, comin forth mixtures like
 exit cartel used in excess OD
 O.C. bonded for life with this
 I come through, niggaz whisper "He nice with his"
 Been that, always, nothin changed but the game
 Now a buck eighty-five, hype five-eight frame
 Bumrush y'all ain't no retreat, it's a wrap now
 It's a million muh'fuckers wantin to rap now
 Some suck, others suc-ceed, some try hard
 Most chance slim in the game to succeed
 No sweat, found niche, now it's a done deal
 Truth to be said, reachin heights unreal
 [Chorus]
 ("let it be known") ("it's the professional")
 ("you know my name") ("O.C.")

 [O.C.]
 Back on the scene, seein things more clear
 Regroup my thoughts with a gift and a prayer
 Praisin me, fall through it, no acknowledge for the game
 and the things in the past you brought to it
 Writers commited felonies; sayin my name in vein
 Cocksucker givin credit to lames
 O.C. never fell short, fell victim
 Fell off, or lost touch, nor tried to adjust
 Trust me, put your bid in, I'm so driven
 Fairwell to these other rap lames, good riddance
 Who the FLUCK, WANT, WHAT? Bleek posed the question
 Look in my eyes, see my expression
 None adolescent, hardheads never learn shit
 'til they ass get spanked and had a lesson
 News at 11 top story
 Ain't nann muh'fucker out here got nuttin for me
 Set pace flows on mark, once I sprint off the block
 Heads start man I just can't stop
 Even on an off day, still a mad freak
 Think twice 'bout havin the nerve to 'proach me nucca
 ("Professional level" - Nas") ("lyricist")

 ("It's the professional"") ("O.C.")

 [Nas: "Professional level"] ("lyricist")
 [O.C.]
 Yo... flesh of my flesh, you need not test
 North, East, I'm really not impressed
 He say, she say, cars, bigger baguettes
 Just about played out muh'fucker now what's next?
 Gun talk, loud bark, nuttin but excess
 Like the same bomb dropped every night by Flex
 Give it a rest killer, your style all wet
 All mushy like pussy after steamy hot sex
 O.C. the truth, and so is my clique
 No chi-chi mon apply when it come to this shit
 You want faggot rap song, gotta look elsewhere
 My gangsters insured like good health care
 Believe me when I say it, take my word for it
 Change gonna occur but I really can't call it
 So off we go while this nigga O flow
 And hold on, cause the driver of the mission is a pro
 [Chorus]
 ("let it be known") ("it's the best lyricist")
 ("you know my name") ("O.C.")
