[00:22.480]Ice-T let me kick my credentials
[00:25.180]A young player bred in South Central
[00:27.380]L A home of the body bag
[00:29.780]You wanna die wear the wrong color rag
[00:32.040]I used to walk in stores and yell "Lay down"
[00:34.350]You flinch an inch AK spray down
[00:36.480]But I was lucky 'cause I never caught the hard time
[00:38.900]I was blessed with the skill to bust a **** rhyme
[00:41.450]All my homies died or caught the penzo
[00:43.430]Lost their diamonds cops towed their Benzos
[00:45.530]Livin' that life that we thought was it
[00:47.440]
[00:48.080]Fast lanin' but the car flipped
[00:50.210]I'm not gonna lie to ya 'cause I don't lie
[00:52.410]I just kick thick game some people say why
[00:54.900]'Cause I'm back on the block I got my life back
[00:57.340]So I school the fools about the fast track
[00:59.500]I get static from the style of my technique
[01:01.800]Profanity the blatant way in which I speak
[01:04.090]But the Dude knows the streets ain't no kiddie game
[01:06.310]You don't know the Dude Quincy's his first name
[01:08.500]He told me Ice keep doin' what you're doin' man
[01:10.750]Don't give a damn if the squares don't understand
[01:13.080]You let 'em tell you what to say and what to write
[01:15.330]Your whole career'll be over by tomorrow night
[01:17.600]Rap from your heart and your heart's with the street
[01:19.900]Rap on my record man Kimiko send Ice the beat
[01:22.300]The Dude is def no doubt what can I say

[01:47.100]I'm on the wax I'm on the stage I'm on the scene
[01:49.560]I'm on the case just like an attorney
[01:51.810]The Dude took me on a magic journey
[01:53.960]To dance in France alone in Rome
[01:55.960]On the farmlands of Nebraska the cold of Alaska
[01:58.530]The heat of the motherland to be with my brother man
[02:00.800]On top of a snowcapped mountain I'm scoutin'
[02:03.000]What another man saw in a race of people
[02:05.400]To see him give his life for the price of equal
[02:07.640]The highest wisdoms the richest kingdoms
[02:09.950]The song of songs we heard David sing them
[02:12.340]He showed me me when I was young and hung out
[02:14.620]He showed me makin' love even showed me strung out
[02:16.740]He showed me poppin' nines standin' on a rock
[02:18.970]But tears came to my eyes when he showed me my block

[03:05.200]Back on the block to stay
[03:07.000]
[03:12.090]Back up and give the brother room
[03:13.390]To let poetry bloom to whom it may concern or consume
[03:16.400]As I reminisce before this the bliss that exist
[03:19.100]But now we brought about a twist
[03:20.880]'Cause I remember of my people bleedin'
[03:23.190]Put through slavery and killed for bravery
[03:25.790]We shoulda got our freedom much sooner
[03:27.660]You never seen a Blackman on the honeymooners
[03:30.100]But now somehow we've learned to earn to grow to show
[03:32.740]The elevation of a people built is so
[03:34.810]Jesse Jackson Miss America a black one
[03:37.240]No more livin' for just a small fraction
[03:39.310]I was once told by the Dude that knowledge is a food
[03:42.090]To nourish so to conclude
[03:43.950]This from an Asiatic descendant Big Daddy is shocked

[04:06.590]An everlasting omnipresence is my present
[04:09.050]State of being seeing the unpleasant
[04:11.310]Sight of righteous souls live like peasants
[04:13.630]The mind stunts growth in adolescence
[04:16.000]My insight enables me to enlight
[04:18.090]The weakest of minds and I put 'em in flight
[04:20.350]As I transcend a-scend or de-scend
[04:22.780]Re-create re-incarnate and re-send
[04:25.100]The powerful spirits of our ancestors
[04:27.130]For those that don't know how God blessed us
[04:29.690]Because man messed up the media dressed up
[04:31.790]Lies perpetrated as truth and it left us
[04:34.090]Confused but I've seen it all before
[04:36.290]From Babylon to the Third World War
