give it to you

blackalicious

rhyme for rhyme and line for line

the lyrics from the mind that's prime

arrive on time

and rip into you fine as wine

sublime the kind

of spitters who would shine divine

with rhymes and life

is what you make it

rhyme for rhyme and line for line

the lyrics from the mind that's prime

arrive on time

they rip into ya night to night

recite the type

of written

come inside the light

tonight's the night

we give it to ya

comin' back to stay

when i rap this way

blowin' minds wit' these lyrics out my fact-oray

that are practic-ally

on some maste-ray

show you all how a funky record has to be

not to toot my horn

i'm from californ

it's the +cheese+

not the kind that's grown from cows in barns

but the kind that meets your needs in like a thousand forms

as we dance to the ever flowin' masquerade

homey

pass the j

homies pass away

over pride when another nigga blast a k

evil thought hearts chilly

dickie dastard-lay

all his people mourned deeply as the pastor prayed

come though from out of town

you wouldn't last a day

all they know is long money and assassination

get it now

not tomorrow

don't procrastinate

this is my grind

verbal slangin'

i'm a master fate

in a drastic way

this is class so pay

close attention

write all night 'til i gasp and faint

get my people out this struggle of that section 8

if you want it

hey we got it

you don't have to wait because. golden voice wit' style

spirit poised for power

definition of a goddess

i'm a poster child

as i boast about

here's a dose fo' trail

evil spirits don't concern me

tell the ghost be out!

shine my light to dim

all the spite within

competition

'cause at times

i know we frighten them

all we really wanna do is give some sight to them

all my people

new york city to the coast of cal

i'm the toast of towns

i'm the cat's meow

movin' faster than your mind

come and catch me now

niggaz see me on stage and wanna ask me out

i'm the true original never a hand-me-down

when i flash no doubt

know that ass is out

nefertiti

mama zulu

try and pass the nile

take your breath away it's like you're catchin' asthma now

in this verbal marathon

you couldn't last a mile because. lyrics born to rap

i put it all on that

twelve years deep

my foot ain't comin' off the gas

we walk the chosen path

close the culture gap

o.g. like the figure-four the boston crab

all across the map

beyond the almanac

you see the backstage posted lookin' so relaxed

lady wit' me

open toe

lil' shoulder bag

hat tipped just a bit

ooh she cold like that

where my ballers at? if you can call it that

potna' both you and me know that shit is boulderdash

we see right through yo phony ass like youse a holograph

we so real

when they see us

it's like they pause and gasp

cat's lookin' like they see a flyin' saucer pass

cross they arms

turn they heads like they was ultraman

we gotcha whole clique surrounded in a cul-de-sac

so baby get ta jump-ropin' over a broken glass because. the craft""
