Yo, yo, yo, yo
Report, report, everyone report in
That's right, it's magic, it's magic like the three
But yo, don't ever get it misconstrued
When you see us coming through with them date roll colors
Lyrically, we run it all day
So if you throw it towards us, we gon' run it back
Yeah, let's go, hey, hey, what we doing?
Long Island (Long Island)
Long Island (Long Island)
It's the birth of a team here to clean up the turf
And the worth of the dream is to change the regime
And the lean that we lay with the words that we spray
Be the way that we teach y'all to act (Run it back)
Read the palms with the dice and the songs that we slice
With the plate, earn the weight and the height
Ain't no qualms with the price, we're the men, never mice
When we on the device of the mic, never that (Run it back)
Put my wrath on the line and the math of the signs
That we make be the cake that we stack on my grind
I'm a one of a kind and the one from the vine
Of the grape where you heard I'm a cat (Run it back)
Man, it's the thang that we hang 'round our neck like a chain
It's the piece of the pain at the least, it's the lane
That my flow travel down and the sound be the rock
Cocaine to the brain on a track (Run it back)
Overdue with the new and you beg for the brew
That we stirred and we heard that you don't have a clue
How it's made, it's the boom to the bap
Like the full and the paid, F.R.I. on the map (Run it back)
We the sons of the beat and we stay on our toes
And our feet exposed to the con to the creed
'Cause our ears in the street and our minds in the stars
Man, y'all know who we are, tuck the tat (Run it back)
That's what I'm talking about
Nassau and Suffolk County, we up in here
But we gon' take it on over to Queens
To my brothers in the Bridge who's about to run it back
Oh, there go Melachi
There go Nas right there, ayo
Ayo, there go Jungle right there
Ayo, everybody get back, everybody look out
There go the god, let the god through
Let my brother through
Unsmackable, half of you laughable
You won't be photographable
If I have to run through half of your crew
I'm only tryna get smarter
Like Five Percenters in Parliament
Harlem, rep the bottom (Run it back)
Not the bottom like the bottle of snake wine with a snake still in it
We sip to see if it takes time to feel it
I'm speaking to builders, ghetto tenements
The militants, no suburbia privileges (Run it back)
From the rap, it's no wonder that
Three's the magic number, add me to that number, that's four
The fourth B.I.G., the fourth ZZ Top member, the fourth Fugee
Who, me? I fantasize musically when it's suiting me
It's wowsers, the '80s, '90s, and 2000s
How it was sick, how did it slip?
Now it's just Doechii, Dot, and SZA with most powerful hits
Leon Thomas, Shaboozey with the country rap
Only Black artists on top of the charts
Something's wack (Run it back)
Not only love and only black, don't start with that
The problem hatched probably with Nas, the back in '99
In fact, was Nas deprived from getting diamond plaques?
He cries inside about it, never, he just runs it back
Okay, everyone, I know your heartbeat
Is running fast after running it back
So let's slow it down
Take a deep breath in
Now take a deep breath out
Is that (What is that?) weed smoke I'm smelling? (Yeah, yeah)
Anyway, let's prepare to take our mind to the next song
Salute, salutary, and salutations
And don't forget the vocalization
