When I B On Tha Mic

Lyrics

(I'm internationally known)
 (When I b on tha mic)
 (Hardcore, real ill niggas)
 (I'm internationally known, yo)
 (Hardcore, real ill niggas)
 (I'm internationally known)
 (When I b on tha mic)
 (Hardcore, real ill niggas)
 (So all hail the ho-ho-honorable)
 Here's to my real ill niggas, heavyweight hitters
 Dough getters, fifty ways to make figures
 My niggas, that come on the spot to feel sisters
 Like they hear real spitters and kids on the zigga-ziggas
 When it's ugly, then the club is lovely
 Thugs be sipping Hennessey and bubbly
 To my comrades that keep it flaming hot
 On dangerous blocks, claiming spots
 Where the goal is to be one of the top-ranked soldiers
 Forty-five holders, one of the high rollers
 Get respect in the hood, credit is good
 Knock it down lumberjack style, baby, extra wood
 Rock it all night long, the bang-a-thon baby
 Keep hanging on, we like it with the lights on
 Don't have to blow twenty thou' to get to know honey's style
 Show her the town, steal her heart, no money down
 (Hardcore, real ill niggas)
 (I'm internationally known)
 (When I b on tha mic)
 (Hardcore, real ill niggas)
 (I'm internationally known, yo)
 (Hardcore, real ill niggas)
 (I'm internationally known)
 (When I b on tha mic)
 (Hardcore, real ill niggas)
 (So all hail the ho-ho-honorable)
 How about some hardcore, yeah we like it raw for sure
 Broads on the floor, wall to wall
 There's more at the door, players ball to score
 'Cause this right here is for all of y'all
 Rakim and Primo, yo I got what you need bro
 You go see a show, smoke an L, mean yo
 And DJs play hits with hard bass kicks
 And then they display tricks like The Matrix
 Make the record fly undetected by the naked eye
 So just feel the vibe cause your ears never lie
 Nowadays DJs bags of tricks, graphic
 On some behind the back shit, catch it and scratch it
 Classic, this kid got his craft mastered
 Hands is mad quick like he mix with magic
 Spin it back and forth and grab it, and know just where it is
 There it is
 (Hardcore, real ill niggas)
 (I'm internationally known)
 (When I b on tha mic)
 (Hardcore, real ill niggas)
 (I'm internationally known, yo)
 (Hardcore, real ill niggas)
 (I'm internationally known)
 (When I b on tha mic)
 (Hardcore, real ill niggas)
 (So all ha-ha-hail the honorable)
 To my elite peeps with the murderous mystiques
 I hit the streets with beats and they critique for weeks
 They be like "How that kid Ra reach the peak?"
 Pull out the heat and use my technique to speak
 It's dangerous, sit calm and explain to kids
 What part of the game this is in foreign languages
 They hold Ra's events in different continents
 Put my lyrical contents in monuments
 In ghetto garments, I rock a towel like a pharaoh
 Mind travel, design style like apparel
 My fashions last long as a lifetime
 'Cause I can see the future when the God write rhymes
 They're mad cause I managed to reign so long
 Like their chance to make money done came and gone
 This is strictly for my listeners on the corners at night
 And the sisters that be keeping this right, when I b on tha mic
 (Hardcore, real ill niggas)
 (I'm internationally known)
 (When I b on tha mic)
 (Hardcore, real ill niggas)
 (I'm internationally known, yo)
 (Hardcore, real ill niggas)
 (I'm internationally known)
 (When I b on tha mic)
 (Hardcore, real ill niggas)
 (So all hail the ho-ho-honorable)
