I want to be with you
I want to be clear
But each time I try
Its the voice I hear
I hear that voice again
I’m listening to the conversation
Judge and jury in my head
It’s colouring everything
All we did and said
And still I hear that sharp tongue talking
Talking tangled words
I can sense the danger
Just listen to the wind
I want you close I want you near
I can’t help but listen
But I don’t want to hear
Hear that voice again
I want to be with you
I want to be clear
But each time I try
Its the voice I hear
I hear that voice again
I’m hearing right and wrong so clearly
There must be more than this
Its only uncertainty
That we’re naked and alive
I hear it trough
The rattle of a streetcar
Hear it trough the things you said
I can get so scared
Listen to the wind
I want you close I want you near
I can’t help but listen
But I don’t want to hear
Hear that voice again
What I carry in my heart
Brings up so close or so far apart
Only love can make love
I want you close I want you near
I can’t help but listen
But I don’t want to hear
Hear that voice again
I want to be with you
I want to be clear
But each time I try
Its the voice I hear
I hear that voice again
Featuring O.C.
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 Haley’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 falis I reminisce on Biggie Smalls
And Tupac the new world is yours
80 pause for the cause
Repect due
Chorus: repeat 2X
I’m sick of all the shit in 94 so now I’m capping
Fucking with them devils everytime I starts to rapping
Listen to the man cause the man is coming right
P Dog is in the house until them brothers see the light
But now understand I aint concern with the bullshit
Cause I know the truth I see their mothafucking hootprint
Got niggaz tripping of the violence and the 40 ounce
So I call my homies get my strap and go take forty out
That’s the way I’m coming so you better tell a friend
Bitch, I aint your boy so respect me as a man
And niggaz understand that I’m down for whatever
We gotta make it better brothers gotta stick together…
Pay attention to the…
P-Dog
“One time for your mind: Scarface and I thought you knew…”
Pay attention to the…
P-Dog
Death with the record…Death with the record…(repeat twice)
Now house niggaz on the left wanna talk shit
Mothafucking devils on the right wanna dump a clip
Ever since I broke the grip of shame back in 89
I see tricks tripping all the time like I did a crime
Got me on the news cause they wanna hide the truth
But notice that I’m a soldier and I’m coming at the youth
Black guerrilla standing for my folks and I’m proud
This one’s going out to the brothers locked down
Now as long as we keep playing by your rules
I’m leaving shit stains on your flag till I’m trought time
After time I bring them mothafucking facts
I’m coming pro-black, understand where I’m at
Take a listen to the…
P-Dog
“One time for your mind: Scarface and I thought you knew…”
Pay attention to the…
P-Dog
Death with the record…Death with the record…(repeat twice)
Never fucking with no dank, cut no drink
You can keep that shit for the next niggaz
Slanging with a weak rap, busta-ass bandwagon niggaz
Wanna be the new gangsta of the week on the street
But aint got a clue, damn, it’s a trip
How them devil-ass labels put everything they got in that shit
But they never push anything real for the good of the community
It should be plain to see, fucking over you and me
So I stay true to the game cause it’s on, praise to Allah
Running real for the cause, never underestimate my enemies
But trip on how they operate cause they wanna see me slip
As long as I’m living I keep giving you the facts
Bumping when I’m smuggling in the message in the rap
So pay attention now cause I’m about to catch a case
Them mothafucking snakes wanna nigga in his place
But I keep on saying…
P-Dog
“One time for your mind: Scarface and I thought you knew…”
Take a listen to the…
P-Dog
Death with the record…Death with the record…(repeat four times)
