Pete Rock and Cl Smooth - Can't Front on Me(1992)

[00:00.50] Ah, yeah, yes
[00:04.11] Psychedelic
[00:06.32] Uh, come on
[00:07.83] This is what I like
[00:10.29] It's that pete rock and c.l. smooth stuff
[00:12.68] Uh huh, yeah
[00:14.67] Brothers can't understand
[00:16.76] You know I'm about to drop a funky beat on you
[00:20.20] Like this...
[00:21.43] Hit the war drums that vibrate the earth underneath
[00:23.84] Here my people and I come, gotta wake up the chief
[00:26.46] Not a pale frail ghost, c.l.'ll wreck the most
[00:28.89] Cuz the mecca land never had a leo africanos
[00:32.28] The sudanian, master of the mediterranean
[00:34.61] And if it's lovely I'm the one you're skypagin'
[00:36.79] Lower than the mole man, r&b, you're silly
[00:39.36] The only male hardcore crusin' through my city
[00:41.94] Rise to the supernova, swami like bola
[00:44.59] Heavy hitter I consider ueuker leanin' on my shoulder
[00:47.19] Measure like a yardstick, thick at arithmetic
[00:49.83] You add it up and I roast a high pick flick
[00:52.10] Hit the pitch and then I'm gone as the funk lingers on
[00:54.76] I don't publicize here to keep the black race torn
[00:57.69] But steady at an altitude where you get the mental food
[01:00.07] Not to be rude, here's a fresh pot brewed
[01:02.69] Oh, what a web we weave when we practice to deceive
[01:06.04] Sparkin' off a trick up the sleave
[01:08.01] Pete stocked the bedrock, listen and you'll see
[01:09.91] And I'm sure you will agree you can't front on me
[01:12.69] Yo, you can't front
[01:15.71] It's like that, c'mon, yeah
[01:20.72] Yes, you know I got to talk
[01:25.60] You can't front
[01:28.83] I'm tellin' you now
[01:31.15] C.l. smooth and the rock, c'mon
[01:33.20] Many consumed what was locked in a tomb
[01:35.62] That I gradually groomed, coming out now smelling like perfume
[01:39.22] So take a whiff when I wrap a gift, play ya like a gospel
[01:42.15] A logical apostle, collosal (whoooweee!)
[01:44.22] Afro, a cut me like a fade with a braun
[01:46.66] Sport a bald head, but never needed hair club for men
[01:49.20] Drop a scud, fully-capable, a form in a eclipse
[01:51.59] Skips to backflips soon as it leaves my lips
[01:54.45] Suave know, I can make the funk turn the habit
[01:56.78] Kick the old 45 and I can boogie on static
[01:59.49] Welcome to the brahma don, pilgrimage to mecca don
[02:02.35] A prayer for the parish, soucron affwaun
[02:04.94] Cuz ain't no misbehavin' when they manage what you're cravin'
[02:08.14] Put the anger in the nation on your station
[02:10.14] Anvils that fills the whole circumference
[02:12.84] And black people crowd in a mass abundance
[02:14.89] To hear gabriel's horn, blow it like a naiji
[02:18.04] What's the flavor unit with the top priority?
[02:20.11] C.l., untouchable with the clip full
[02:23.07] Impossibly, the posse can't front on me
[02:25.33] Don't you dare front
[02:27.42] Don't you dare front
[02:30.34] Not on me
[02:32.97] Cuz I'm the man
[02:35.57] C.l.'s the rhymer
[02:38.20] Right on time
[02:40.58] Right on, my brother
[02:43.12] Come on, kick another verse for me
[02:46.22] You desire the messiah for the entire empire
[02:48.68] Total organizer of the earth, wind, and fire
[02:51.48] C.l. and pete rock unlock the hard rock
[02:54.30] Many want to mock and the honey-dips clock
[02:56.40] Intercontinental for the residential
[02:59.16] Never coincidental, rough on a rental
[03:01.53] Count all the bars numeric
[03:03.56] Pro-prosthetic if ya let it resurrect the nongeneric
[03:06.62] The brother on the cover, yes, a rapper not a singer
[03:09.25] If you recognize him, point with your index finger
[03:11.85] Shock another flock when I hit the block
[03:14.48] God or devil on the set that's level, labeled as a rebel
[03:17.07] In retrospect I detect those incorrect
[03:20.26] And reflect the black power project
[03:22.37] Supreme cuz I chose to never blaspheme
[03:24.66] Going to the extreme, place it on a very high beam
[03:27.32] And drop jewels for five thousand fools who stampede
[03:30.11] Cuz the proper show stopper's what ya need
[03:32.55] So come and get a taste of the dynamic duo
[03:35.14] And I'm sure you will agree you can't front on me (yoooo!)
[03:42.28] You can't front, boy
[03:46.15] Cuz we're the skilled fools (skibooze?)
[03:48.79] We'z are the funk
[03:52.92] The hardcore funk
[03:55.78] We ain't no joke
[03:57.83] Comin' out to note
[04:00.78] Ah, yeah
[04:03.65] With the funk track
[04:08.03] Sing it, p.
[04:11.77]
