Wootah!

Dove:
Just the other day i got a starter kit
(an m is a terrible thing to waste)
Caught the face from the backs of the border of the mindstate
I play control to a fraud
(nah it ainand't happeninand')
Nada to make it even
Robbinand' and theivinand' is one who infiltrates with a colgate frown
Yand'all remember my nasal for i sniff frequencies
(well, it started in the year of and'78)
But itand's and'93 or should i say and'94 for my style is much more
(i said, andquot;come inandquot;)
Come in
(come on)
Come out into my reservoir
As i macks a men your bastard style has just been stuck
By a sticker with a and'frigerator lickinand'
What if... howand's about why would
Never thought that the napalm would bust the jeans
Pos:
Mash it up
The one with the beard
Mega moustache the beat (hide it)
Deep under sheets, cover this hint
Hostinand' all threats but watch out mr. jarbage
Jimmy and the jet, standinand' on the pier
Iand'm known as the farmer
Cultivatinand' mate without mendinand'
Bendinand', comprimising any of my styles to gain a smile
Listen while you hear it
Thereand's no pink in my slip
I reckon that the rhythm and the blues in the rap got me red
While the boys from tommy plant bridge crossinand' to a larger community
Yet theyand're soon to see i have a brother named luck
A nigga named dres
A groupie named cassandra caught bobbinand' on the head
Of a baby named chris, i missed a kid who caught wreck when sayinand'
(afrika and i when sammy band's on the set)

Succeeed in crossing over)
(cross over ainand't nuthinand' but a double cross)
(once we lose our audience we never gonand' get them back)

Pos:
Let no man put asunder
Severinand' the groups i never blunder
Cashinand' all the checks on the mic
I might cherry to the bush, brand plug wonder
Funk to the fame against hoods
Bridges sagginand' to woods down under
They canand't be raised with the feminine praise
In conjunction with no chocolate in the mix
White boy roy cannot feel it
But the first to try and steal it
Dilute it, pollute it, kill it
I see him infiltratinand' to the masses
And when the leechinand' i mo shoot and'em all in they asses

I shed light and not skin
I ainand't from europe
Afro connects at the root of the retina of the third
Mums the word when ya blind baby
Blind to the fact
Donand't rest in compton so i donand't own a gat
But respect is clear crystal
Cause millie got a pistol
And sheand's down with me
Wild of most wild
Born child to the old school legitimate (soul)
Talker of the many paragraphs ago
Walker of the plenty broken calves ago
Phantom of the phrase black in many ways
Cause i see her runninand' through the trenches
Cominand' in to rent my style
Guru:
Iand'm not the one to fuck with
Pos:
Iand'm lockinand' you out
Guru:
Iand'm just not to fuck wit so check it

Peace to my man premier
And yand'all better guard your trenches and'cause we runninand' through and'em
