CHORUS [Saukrates]

Little piece of sumpin'

"Play" < Saukrates

"Orginial rap" < KRS One

"Play" < Saukrates

Little piece of sumpin'

"Play" < Saukrates

"Hardcore in hip hop" < KRS One



[Saukrates]

Amazed dudes to wack crews

Lay it down

Kids could never walk a mile in my shoes

Shorties clockin' me

Always be coming in the two

Niggas from the north

I'm bringing you tracks and good news

My debut was real to blind industry minds

Who never had the time

Now kids press rewind to the top

But legally I gotta show love

Call me A, B and C, the answers D

All of the above

I attack the microphone like Jack Ripper

Real for stacks, leaving kids no headroom like Max

Try to react, but you were never calm

And never could kick a verse

When worse come to worse I'm better

Shine like genuine rhine, black patented leather

On half naked honeys who forgot about the weather

Fuck an exhibition, and warm up scrimmage

Shoot more words that Macho Man spit gism in the city



CHORUS



[Common Sense]

Stimulated by a tree and drama

I advanced on a branch of respect and honor

A patient of the Ill state

Sittin' in trauma, never been one to side with hama

For Armageddon, I'm getting armed plus armor

The comma of matter on the rise like a tip

In the southside diner

Your preference to the book that likes to pack humid

To it I react by staying strapped with the mack and courage

Parallel to a carrousel of murders

I prefer to make a life than take a life

Stopped at a street called Wise and made a right

Sort of how I play my broads, just how I play the mic

First I cuff it, then finger fuck it

Check it something rugged, other niggas be reluctant

To touch it after me

Passively they strike, never matching me

Rapidly, don't placidly

I fabricate the verbal tapestry

Tap the keg of you conscious

Navigate you like Farrhakan with accomplice



CHORUS



[Saukrates]

Kids setting their watches 5 minutes fast to stay on top of time

But I'm already 10 minutes away

Nigga play what you want to play, he say she say

But Saukrates got the buttas in T dot O dot today



[Common]

Slowly but surely I pour the lyric into the glass of your mind

My rhyming will be the diamond that will cut through

Lines say but you to do, you don't know what to

Got wisdom like a tooth

Incidentally I get buck too

Didn't get my jest, so I just had to do it

My mic or your mic, come on no congruent

Seen broads in brew to me, be jubilee

On my neck be hot jewelry

My old man be schooling me

For sho' I rock good, cats claim this hood and that hood

Black man, your hood is the universe

On this Earth, you were first through the worse

My crew could hearse

Used to go up stairs and went through the purse

I don't cures around juniors

Spread live like rumors

Niggas loved my tape, but how many were consumers?



[Saukrates]

Shout out to honeys working them hourgalss hips

Stay soprano, reading surano

Dramatic… episodes, yo Common

Let me play with niggas brains like clay kits

When I rock stage hits

Skip the rumors and lies

So you're under the stirs

When I drop my hip-hop, you'll be some Maytag repairmen

And flip flop the fake, who thought the scored

And half-assed niggas sending you back to drawing boards

To deliver the real shit, al least we'll spit on your mic

I'm versatile like a plate of read grits



CHORUS
