Pete Rock and Cl Smooth - It's Like That(1992)

[00:23.47] Prepare yourself to catch a verse from the big purse
[00:25.26] Rotate the megahertz, where you heard it first
[00:28.07] The perpendicular, said none similar
[00:29.87] Quadruple any figure, quick on the trigger
[00:32.53] Helter skelter, wig out by the goodfella
[00:34.30] Not Lou Pinella cuz I'm black and mo' betta
[00:37.03] Bust a phenomenum, we come to get busy
[00:38.81] Deep in roots, but my name ain't Kizzie
[00:41.52] Many many march cuz I'm heavy on the starch
[00:44.33] Never tell a farce when I scale on a arch
[00:47.04] Jammin' on the radio, brothers say, "way to go"
[00:48.84] Shape it like Play-Do, soprano at the Chateau
[00:51.51] My theory periodically flows a odyssey
[00:54.26] Bigger than modern technology
[00:56.08] So save all the chit-chat when I kick a format fat
[00:58.76] It's like that...
[01:19.99] C.L. is the attribute you salute
[01:21.77] Cuz I gotta make loot, can't afford to be cute
[01:23.55] Enter the equilibrium in a medium
[01:26.28] Breaking your cranium with no ultimatum
[01:28.94] Drop a psalm like a bomb, never land in your palm
[01:31.62] And now I'm so cool and calm
[01:34.42] Pure unadulterated, premeditated
[01:36.28] Lyrical form, Pete Rock is the storm
[01:38.07] Sophistication I kick to a nation
[01:40.74] I rare compilation I call recreation
[01:43.46] The prognosis, so mackadocious
[01:45.25] Straight up ferocious for those who can focus
[01:47.94] Large like the Beatles, ask all my peoples
[01:49.80] Never make movies, so don't talk sequels
[01:52.56] So, hon, save the chit-chat when I kick a format fat (it's fat)
[01:56.11] It's like that...
[02:35.27] I'm all sold out, no doubt, without a question
[02:37.03] The blessing your guests in a suprucated session
[02:39.78] Anyway your honor, heresay the melee
[02:42.42] Is here for the payday, so A to the K
[02:44.24] Or should I say Deda, original baby par
[02:46.92] Smooth like a reservoir, the funky Shang-Ri-La
[02:48.71] No shame in my game, I'm set to entertain
[02:51.56] And if it wasn't for the fame, skinz would never know my name
[02:53.36] So back off a tad bit, that's a bad habit
[02:56.05] Cuz I write the raw... for sure
[02:58.71] Now I'm a flip a style and get crazy versatile
[03:00.57] Never fragile cuz I'm flowin' like the Nile
[03:03.22] Swing a jewel or a gem, notice how I say them
[03:05.09] With my approach, smoke a rhyme to a roach
[03:07.73] A four-season lover, light-skinned and bigger
[03:10.52] But what I deliver come before the cotton picker
[03:12.37] So here's to another hit, perfectly legitimate
[03:15.09] When I hit the skinz, guaranteed to keep the candle lit
[03:17.70] So save all the chit-chat when I kick a format fat
[03:22.01] It's like that...
