Verse One: The renassance man no gat in my hand Episode numero uno check out the man Spread a verse like a thesis or a virus Open the iris nigga I'm the individual you can't get rid of Prominent aura dominant moral islamic Amazing phenomenon like Halley's Comet Ya gettin headaches from this bullshit I'm the anisthetic to cure shit Fuck that cut up shit I be that pure shit Expedition thoughts are truck My mind shine like bins spinning thoughts Bright as fuck, congruent like four sides of a square I got a surprise in nine-eight, rappers better prepare Timeless take every letter from the word I adverb And put it together that nigga O.C.'s quite clever Always and forever no one can do it better
Chorus: Respect on the mic we in this for life For the street thug to my brother with same blood One love yo sound off the twenty one slug salute Ways to display the truth It's Pete Rock and O.C It's on point fella Ain't nothing you can tell us Word up
-Verse Two: Yo I impact the earth like a meteorite magnetic The P.R./O.C. experiment Serving justice when we bust this Ya now instructed to thrust one fist in the air Regulate the anthem for revolution prepare For the victorous comeback of the year Assemble the militia as insert the scripture Lyrics for the instrumental picture Graphic in nature respect mics I hold Certified gold five hundred thousand sold News flash yo it's hip-hop built ta last Survivor of the aftermath when guns blast Waving a white flag while you dressed in drag Remember what I keep in the trunk of my Jag Suprise nigga respect due when I deliver
Chorus
-Verse Three: Since day one when I came upon the scene For this mic I fiend respect played a part before the cream I figure respect last longer because cream come and go I done seen five to ten and even fifteen a show and blew it Now I know now my ill escape is real estate No more will I make that mistake Respect is what matters cause that shit hold weight
Word up ya gotta earn respect in ninety-eight Rehabilitate the rap game honor our name Hold it down to the last frame No doubt emergency escape route Take the easy way out if that's what you about If not then show ya heart Create light from dark all aboard the Ark As the rain falls I reminisce on Biggie Smalls And 2Pac the new world is yours 80 pause for the cause Repect due
