Word Up
Eh You know what the funny thing is
Iβve been seeing these dudes
Man I Be seeing these dudes
And they've been seeing me
I'm everywhere man
Y'all paying attention to a lot of gossip and rumors and bullshit and
nonsense
Blacksmith is the Movement
Its Brooklyn
Word
Kweli
Yeah
It's Brookly
Yo
New Year
Blacksmith still the movement that's moving
You're not ready
Yo
Dead Man walking
You blasting if niggas laugh at you
Eye for an eye
Tooth for a tooth
Man this punishment is capital
Ilove it at this latitude
Got something in common with them niggas with a attitude
I was never made at Cube
I respect his vision
Plus I love it when I see Common on the television
Prodigy dissin' in his blog the nigga tripping
All my niggas locked up in thesystem keep living
Just because my shit ain't street-driven don't get it twisted
I stll catch wreck like a five car collision
Man
you thinking I ain't with it
I'm down for whatever
break it down to the letter
Man my sound more clever
Bout to palm thisblack steel
The bour is chaotic when I spot'em watch'em drop to the floor homie kneel
make a sound break em down to the core like Tony Neal
Only skilis is allowed in this battle
You know the deal
You got beats to the rhyme and the rhyme is so fresh
Yo
So what you got nines and tecs
You no threat
You got beats to the rhyme and the rhyme is so fresh
Yo
So what you got nines and tecs
You no threat
You got beats to the rhyme and the rhyme is so fresh
Yo
So what you got nines and tecs
You no threat
The actors been replaced with the rappers
the rappers been replaced with
the actors
See how they try to stay on the beat
They get jealous and wonder how
I'm so timeless and classic
still relevant to now
I navigate the fame
they get hooked
they sick
look they get dropped from
the label
I get booked
They like what page you on
You're ripping down on the stage you born
You're like the African Genghis Khan
Respect the don
its Brooklyn is nothing
Every time you speak you fronting
moving on your weak production
Keep bluffing
You're trying to eat what you can't stomach
When it was your time to see the light
you ran from it
Man
you hate it but the fans love it
You say you're street
you're sweet as nectar
man
You Nantucket
Man
**** it stand up and
Admit that the devil is a liar
Mad cause the scores from the test of my mettle is higher
I'm the rebel with the fire
It's the Molotov cocktail flow
Rappers on my level? Hell no
You got beats to the rhyme and the rhyme is so fresh
Yo
So what you got nines and tecs
You no threat
You got beats to the rhyme and the rhyme is so fresh
Yo
So what you got nines and tecs
You no threat
You got beats to the rhyme and the rhyme is so fresh
Yo
So what you got nines and tecs
You no threat
The actors been replaced with the rappers
the rappers been replaced with
the actors
See how they try to stay on the beat
These rappers got me acting out of character
How they treat the listeners like prisoners in Attica
Massacre disaster like the Space Shuttle Challenger
Mountains out of molehills
That don't even matter
bra'
I'm usually not acknowledging the gossipin'
It's coming up for air
I ain't giving it no oxygen
Pocketing the profit every time a nigga rocking in your city or your town
I rip it down without the marketing
Every time got a single dropping in the market
I
still get the love 'cuz I'm plugged in like a socket
why you plugging your product
I'm earning my respect
Still burn a nigga
yet a nigga
turned into a vet
Still fresh
As the morning dew
yeah I'm warning you
The jig is up
nigga what we so on to you
Next time a name come flying out your mouth
B
think twice
say that shit again if you doubt me
You got beats to the rhyme and the rhyme is so fresh
Yo
So what you got nines and tecs
You no threat
You got beats to the rhyme and the rhyme is so fresh
Yo
So what you got nines and tecs
You no threat
You got beats to the rhyme and the rhyme is so fresh
Yo
So what you got nines and tecs
You no threat
The actors been replaced with the rappers
the rappers been replaced with
the actors
See how they try to stay on the beat
