Pete Rock and Cl Smooth - On and On(1992)

[01:35.72] The nightcap was exiled, steadily profiled
[01:37.59] As the underachievin non-believin can't stand to reason
[01:40.27] Where's your daddy boy - to categorize the drinker
[01:42.95] Misunderstood to make the ordeal linger
[01:45.74] They label me a problem child who can't cope
[01:47.51] Hangin by a thread, yes a very thin rope
[01:50.25] Inevitably, can never be the man can I tell ya
[01:52.90] Visualize and memorize him in a cellar
[01:54.78] Well tally-ho, pip-pip, my fam's gonna catch a fit
[01:57.46] My father lookin like he wanna bust my lip
[02:00.18] But that was never good for my health
[02:01.94] So I take the shovel out my pocket and dig myself
[02:05.58] Now when I look at the man in the mirror
[02:07.42] I see things much more clearer my Lord
[02:10.15] I'm not that popular, less than a dollar
[02:11.96] But the? I pack can make you holla
[02:14.61] * Pete Rock scratches various "on and on" samples *
[02:34.46] I said, what you don't know could make a whole new world
[02:36.25] Man. listen! I'm set to sabotage premonition
[02:38.93] Your propaganda, crooked type of version
[02:41.69] Some of the things I bring, you're babblin non-person
[02:43.54] Imbedded in my character, rebel nostalgia
[02:47.19] Uncommon valor who'd rather
[02:48.92] Have no man-made religion or sect
[02:50.74] But try to believe what you conceive may be half correct
[02:53.48] I shed light, to show the path in sight
[02:55.25] Cause a man who can't treat you right can't teach you right
[02:57.93] In front of your eyes, what a surprise, and let the nature
[03:01.53] Rise, just for the girls and the guys
[03:03.38] A Phi-Slamma-Jamma when you wear a bandanna
[03:05.15] Peace to Pop Dukes, and long live Nana
[03:07.95] The formula's reality, Pete Rock's the storm
[03:10.67] Together, forever, yes G we got it goin on
[03:13.32] * Pete Rock scratches various "on and on" samples *
[03:32.21] Internal affairs, flippin Hollywood Squares
[03:34.91] In search of the Mecca many travel in pairs
[03:36.74] Walked the slave ship,? the side of ningamora?
[03:39.56] To support a short order when I freak it on a corner
[03:42.22] Five-oh cruisin, decide to pull you over
[03:44.02] Beefin, "Where's the Coke?" I said, "A six-pack of soda?"
[03:46.73] The rookie's lookin thirsty, but everything's mental
[03:49.41] A baseball bat, to smack Shirley in the Temple
[03:51.27] Agreed to meet the maker so I yelled Hail Mary's
[03:53.92] And flew that head, to hit The House on the Prairie
[03:56.63] But the past can never choose my future correctly
[03:59.43] I found a greater source directly
[04:01.28] On and on, keep it on, you chant the
[04:03.95] Boppin simonized, pullin you clockwise jammie
[04:05.79] To quickly skip the minimal tip, I dap for the wise I dip
[04:08.44] Can anyone see, phenomenally, to the last degree?
[04:11.19] I capitalize subliminally, wreck for positivity
[04:13.87] Yes my little chickadee, ready to flow with me
[04:15.68] Nevertheless I bless, follow me and see
[04:18.38] Predominantly, CL'll be, All in the Family
[04:21.00] God bless Marky Black, know we go way back
[04:23.73] CL and Pete Rock, Smooth like Dom Perignon
[04:25.57] Never torn, word is bond, we got it goin on
