Mr. Eon]

High & Mighty back in this

"You think you know what I'm meaning" [B. Real]

I'm just a '86 witness

"You thi-think-think-think ya know"

Take it out you suckers, you don't know how I did it

"You think you know what I'm meaning"

Yo yo, you're now a game and don't think you're gonna win it

"You-think-you think you know what I'm meaning"



Maybe if I popped Cristal

Said I had a Lexus, or a triple beam I'd get a deal

I'd rather speak upon a Maurice Cheeks steal

It's the outta paper, not the caps I peel

I used my independent, money to pay the rent

Remain at hell bent, and far from heaven sent

Where they went? The days when mics got destroyed

B's just boy-ed, the soft punks got toyed

Unemployed, was a happy-go-lucky MC

And now that's all they fuckin be bringing to me

Where they went? The summer concerts on concrete

Elite could put twelve G's in the seat

Now I release the masterpiece of my music

It's '99, and no one could use it

They rather re-use it, the audience confuse it

Take Chuck D's Time Bomb, try to defuse it



"I've seen your kind before, you're not original" [Lord Jamar]

"Ya-you're not ya-you're not orig-riginal"

"I've seen your kind before, you're not original"

"The-the-the meaning, ya think you know what I'm meaning" [B. Real]

"I've seen your kind before, you're not original"

"Ya-you're not ya-you're not original"

"I've seen your kind before, you're not original"

"Ya think you know what I'm meaning"



[Mr. Eon]

It seems that you gotta come cheap to compete

That's why when I chose to go deep you go sleep

On a verse, you not gonna get at first

Like O.J. would never ever get a hearse first

When he die, think about the lie over lie

From verse about the hearse of this rap universe

Cuz radical elements remain eloquent

The reprocussions tear right through the fabric

So act quick, kids at the top is lackin

They tryin to turn hip hop to just plain rappin

Let the poppers pop and the breakers break

Cuz there's just so much of this shit that I can take

Now I can't stand the rain, this shit's all the same

Mr. E excommuincate your whole game

Back in '88 baby everything was gleaming

"The meaning, you think you know what I'm meaning"



"I've seen your kind before, you're not original"

"You're not-you're not-you're not original"

"I've seen your kind before, you're not original"

"Ya-ya-think-ya-think you know what I'm meaning"



[Mr. Eon]

Where your skills at, where the ill raps?

Where the new tracks, where your heart at?

Where the new jacks, gettin contracts?

I got a rhyme that I ain't even wrote yet

Save the drama classes for the masses

Hip hop, glacoma, baby I prescribe the glasses

The vision's near-sighted, and narrow-minded

The wack shit that you hear, is all hate and fight

Take it like harder, fools act retarder

In '98, lyrics just disregarded

Now how hard it be yo to really concentrate

Writin metaphors, wack shit I annihilate

Now fools comin through spellin much gibberish

While Mighty Mi and I stay acknicilous

Raps are bed pan, and I be the nurse

Removin shit wit lyrics that I disperse

Nail ya coffin, ?so you're? death's epitome

Ya fate be taken out is most likely

Not likely, we be The High & The Mighty

Stompin out crews, the team of the '90's



"I've seen your kind before, you're not original"

"Not original"

"I've seen your kind before, you're not original"

"The meaning, you think you know what I'm meaning"

"I've seen your kind before, you're not original"

"Ya not original--" "Ya not"

"I've seen your kind before, you're not original"

"You think you know what I'm meaning"
