[Interlude: Pete Rock]
Yo, yo, yo!
I like what you said right there, son (Yeah)
Yo, but now I'ma✦ let 'em know how I feel (Yeah)
KnowhatI'msayin'?✦
Check this out
[Verse 2: Pete Rock]
This I dedicate✦ to the mixtapes I hate
Exclusive shit, it really✦ holds no weight
Put ya skills on the plate, backspin to '88
Now, this I dedicate✦ to a girl I hate (Uh-huh)
Try to post fly (What?), with ya Maybelline eyes
Sportin' DKNY, workin'✦ on ya alibi✦
Imitation✦ at best (Word), Miss American Express
Dismiss the charge, Kool G Rap and Large Pro
Here to let you know we're not the mens
I'm through with you, but still talk to ya friends
Don't stop to say hi, or even✦ re-apply
The position✦ is filled,✦ with fresh new material (What?)
Keep ya head up, catch some black cat luck
Sped off in my truck, not givin'✦ a fuck
"Lookin'✦ At My Front Door," but it's locked✦ and closed✦
So I use the window✦ for all you '98 hoes
Truly✦ yours
[Interlude: Pete Rock]
Whoooo!
Weeeee!
IIIIIIIIIIIIII heard that
Word
Yo, G., man
Kick that shit you was kickin'✦ back in the days about✦ that girl, kid
[Verse 3: Kool G Rap]
A-yo, go 'head, hood rat
I can't see what ya any✦ good at
Put that trash back on the rack, you were put back
A stripper just like lickin'✦ chicken, peckin'✦ wherever✦ wood at
You sewer✦ rat, better✦ be careful where you step ya foot at
You might get snapped, caught in the trap
Sneakin' 'bout the cheese stack
So cease that and ease back, you sleaze cat
'Cause G Rap — many✦ cats wanna✦ be that, better✦ believe that
Iced✦ up, find me where it's below✦ zero✦ degrees at, and ski's at
See the G stack puffin'✦ on Scarface and Garcia✦ Vegas✦
G Rap and Pete Rock — we bond papers✦
Both of us together — we bomb makers✦
Bottles of Dom breakers
Many✦ mansions on farm acres✦
Pushin'✦ Porsches with four doors
Diamonds with no flaws
With the pretty✦ mamas✦ on beaches of Bahama✦ shores✦
Pinky✦ ring is like a stone age without the dinosaurs
Comin'✦ from me, G Rap, yo, truly✦ yours!
[Outro: Pete Rock]
Yeah, kid (Yeah, kid)
We got to diss that girl, yo (Diss that girl, yo)
Ah, shi-
KnowwhatI'msayin'?✦ (Word)
Still the same (Still the same)
Nuthin'✦ changed✦ (Nuthin'✦ changed)✦
Ha-haa!✦ (Ha-haa!)✦
For real though (For real though)
Uhh (Uhh)
Yo, I don't even✦ know why she tryin' to act all funny✦
(All funny,✦ all funny)✦
Now she heard me gettin'✦ loud money✦
(Gettin'✦ loud money,✦ loud money)✦
Now y'all know how we livin'✦ (How we livin')✦
Out (Out)
[Outro]
"I don't know, I think, when, when they write they own rap
They tend to forget✦ the producer/DJ, or whatever✦
They always✦ forget✦ that
They always✦ think, what-what happened visually
How it did momentarily, or what the MC said
Pete Rock proved✦ that-- he put the music in the forefront"
