Somebody went gold in the Billboard, it was a X, but it was Mia 
Young boys ran to me in the local pizzeria 
He said, "You Jamar and Haji man y'all hot to death 
Can y'all save what's left, or at least make a claim?" 

Shorty remind me of myself when I started in this game 
And through years I'm basically the same, as are my brothers 
I'm the eight track flashback before the days of crack 
Is it real or an act, fuck it, let's save the kids 

Yeah you all about war, why you tryin' to die for? 
Yeah them niggaz real raw but you sleepin' on the floor 
Yeah I walk through the Valley with my man Spark and Allie 
Days of money, in Harlem Week '85 
With the Captain's hats, and my father's old guns 

Before I had a daughter, and before they had sons 
I stay the hypnotizer, style's a tranquilizer 
Got you feelin' all loose, wettin' up the goose 
The great Datty X and I'm hear to say 
You can always find me around the way 


Uhh, I be that kid with the dreads that remember 
When I hid from the Feds, plus I always did what I said 
I was gonna do, talk shit, right in front of you 
Never forfeit, on top, we do it non stop 

Remember when we let the bomb drop 
With more jewels than a pawn shop from the school 
Of the hard knocks, straight off the Now Rule block 
Powerful aftershocks with the strength of Master locks 

We got you in a paradox, between a rock and a hard place 
We got the hard bass 
And everybody's gon' get a taste, get your plate 
First we had to let it marinate, now we straight, uhh 

Five mics is how we rate, stand with us 
And stand amongst the likes of the great scandalous 
Cats, try they best to decipher the tape 
What we manifest still gets blessed in every state 



Hey listen here dog a nigga keep it spicy hot 
Rhyme flow stay straighter than six o'clock 
Hustle rhymes like a nigga hustle shit on the block 
The shit is work and got a 4.6 in the lot 

I hustle knowledge, charge tuition like a college 
My wisdom hold me down in town like Jackie Brown 
I teach Dangerous Minds, like that chick Michelle Pfeffeir 
That's why the Gods check got at least 6 cypher 

My Justice Cypher Born, I ain't no helpless type nigga 
Like a gat without a trigga I got the figure to make figures 
For years I've been doin this thing I do 
Since Ralph McDaniel's video show was on channel U

Station 31, vice grip channel changer son 
The show was the banger, came in clear with a hanger 
Top notch status watch the God get it flamin'
Herbal with the verbal, drop top twin turbo 
Blazin' for the year, born build to 2 G's 

Flow like these, help the God stack cheese 
Summer Jet-Ski, trunk with TV's 
Sittin' under tropic trees with iced teas 
Mind stay positive black, guaranteed 
To grab the top dollar, more pull than the Rottweiler
