brown is my complexion I, got that electric connection Now
who needs some protection We?
rocking hip-hop come, in and turn your gun off Gave
you the mic and off the head you couln't come off I
only say it cause nobody wants to shoot ya I'd
rather teach you science and work on the future Aceyalone
ain't not a phoney not by any means And
by any means necessary be supreme I
am the poet to flow with and get lyrical I
write songs like Smokey and the Miracles I'm
from L A.city., of the Big Bang But
everywhere around the world they screaming "Get thangs "!And
at the same time I'm screaming out "I want mine "!It
ain't nothing really new under the sunshine But
sometime you got to put away the fun time Get
it cause you only living one time I, got to have it 360
knowledge of self (I got to have it )!Records
all over the shelf (I got to have it )!The
wind underneath my wings (I got to have it )!Money
and fancy things (I got to have it )!The
food for my family to eat (I got to have it )!The
raps that can ride these beats (I got to have it )!My
own piece of this Earth (I got to have it )!For
everything life is worth (I got to have it )!I
got to have it in the 2 triple O It's
either work nine to five or you rip a flow Or
rob a nigga but, how low can you go I?
ain't a thief I, just want relief for sho' I
got to get mine no, different from everybody trying to get theirs So
I was getting prepared Instead
of spitting shots through the air maybe, getting the chair Yeah
I got ta got ta have, it have it Like
peas and carrots broccoli, and cabbage Bread
and butter now, did I stutter Don't?
you utter another word you, mouth is in the gutter And
I can't take it don't, want nothing from you And
I can't stay I, got this bitch something to do And
it's more important than Michael Jordan Or
Operah Winfery or Billy Cosby To
the death like a kamikaze huh, I, got to have it 360
knowledge of self (I got to have it )!Records
all over the shelf (I got to have it )!The
wind underneath my wings (I got to have it )!Money
and fancy things (I got to have it )!The
food for my family to eat (I got to have it )!The
raps that can ride these beats (I got to have it )!My
own piece of this Earth (I got to have it )!For
everything life is worth (I got to have it )!See
I want everything that I don't have So
don't laugh when I tell you that I want half But
I don't want your half I, just want my half And
on my behalf put, it on a phonograph CD's
tapes packaged, with a photograph And
respect the ancestors when we walk the path Talk
the math speaking, like a genuine Bless
the Gods bless, the mic and, then you rhyme And
keep it going until you end up at the finish line And
when you see the light beaming then, it's time We
kick a four or this ??? without a space ship Don't
want to take your life I, know I can't replace it So
while you're sitting around the house getting wasted You
know you're not using your full potential now you're facing And
plus ain't, nothing wrong with riding the bus So
put on your Nikes and kick rocks I, got to have it 360
knowledge of self (I got to have it )!Records
