The streets battle grows hotter as the +I+ plays a role of the martyr
Touching evey land or earth like a Harlem Globetrotter
With a message it prays tellin brothers to rasie their hands
And take a stand because we all understand
You have to bake the cake with grease
So let the battle release and make enough so that we all get a piece
A slice for Mama Do, a slice for Papa Do I come from Uptown and kid that's how we do
I only speak for I.N.I. can't speak for your crew
So why would I waste my time to even stress you
I keep my mind on billed, and plus I keeping some skill
Consant thought about the madness can't hear the ldol chatters about
So I escape and take the funk rotue out, hi-stories taught me what is all about
My destiny is profilled when I'm over and out
But I'll leave apart of me to cover all my acounts and I'm out
You always wanna be in the spotlight (right)
The Center of Attention I also like to mention
I.N.I. rocks the spot
It's like that cuz we keeping it hot
Check it out, yo
See I prefer the player's approach so bust it
Joints bumpin' lovely, skins is thick like custom plus the weapons
That keep you steppin' while I perfects the art of microphone checkin'
You flow slick for a second but now it's Rob-O's dick you sweatin'
And at my show, you seem threatened
Why you stressin' the tense to quench the strength of this swift microphonist
Your bitch attention is the bonus
Monotonous, cruisin' on this and I got rhythm goddamn
Confuse the funk music, rock the jam
Pack the stand, stack the grands and mack the female fans
At the local the-ather, the vocal creator
Slash I shall blast because you can't fuck with me
I guess this is the way your luck will be
Frontin' much nerve with a rep that you can't preserve
Step to I in '95, you gettin' served the method ''Center of Attention''
You always wanna be in the spotlight (Right)
The Center of Attention I also like to mention
I.N.I. rocks the spot (Right, yeah)
It's like that 'cause we keepin' it hot (Check it, yo)
Does it truly pay to be the Center of Attention?
The main attraction, gettin' all the action
People stoppin' the I with question after question
I spit a few replies and keep to my steppin'
Never been the weapon carryin' type but I'll incite
A riot, organize and never quiet
Don't try it, dissin' the I, there's no use
I bounce like a Cashar tape and get loose
Grippin' the mic, spittin' words I write
On the pad or the paper, this particular caper
Got 'nuff up's and down's, industry clowns
Jealous niggas tryna keep countin' my figures
But yo, I'm a spiritual millionaire droppin' bombs
Like King David when he wrote the Psalms
So what you need to do is listen up, remain calm
Not ridin' a wave, refuse to be a slave 'cause I'm the center
You always wanna be in the spotlight (Right)
The Center of Attention I also like to mention
I.N.I. rocks the spot
It's like that 'cause we keepin' it hot (True)
Yo, you always wanna be in the spotlight (Right)
The Center of Attention I also like to mention
I.N.I. rocks the spot
It's like that 'cause we keepin' it hot (True)
True that, true that
I.N.I., Soul Brother, Pete Rock once again
Smashin' em, all the time, check it out
Polo, the center of attention
Meccalisious, you'se the center of attention
Terrence I be the center of attention
My man Tito, the center of attention
Money Tas, you'se the center of attention
And Grand Bangin, you'se the center of attention
Lou Bizzy, you'se the center of attention
Pete Red, the center of attention
Groovy Lou, you know the center of attention, you be
Warp G, the center of attention, you be
G.O. be the center of attention
My man Rocka-Rock, the center of attention
Dave Ice is the center of attention
My brother Heavy D, you'se the center of attention
All the boroughs be the center of attention
