Lyrics

Well, I'm known to wreck a mic like a prince So all hail to the raw deal, on a scale, your style's frail I don't believe I can fail 'cause I'm headstrong You're trackin' me, plus jackin' me, knowin' that you're dead wrong I got a TEC for those that wanna step, you're ghost 'Cause since you're playin' me close, you're gettin' checked And I can't conceive a better way to do it So any of my comp, get ready to be stomped, there's nothin' to it 'Cause I got piles of wicked styles and files of tracks I get wild with a South Bronx style of rap So you think you got raps on happily How's that? You couldn't sew shirts in a factory You're what I label as a hip-hop hypocrite You smile in my face, behind my back, runnin' off with limp But I got somethin' to kill that though I'm a real rap pro, bad bro, so now you know The TR-808, straight, straight from the Bronx The TR-808, straight, straight from the Bronx The TR-808, straight, straight from the Bronx The TR-808, straight, straight from the Bronx Now back to the scene of the crime, I was taught to bust a nine At any and all who's out of line, yo That's the way I was shown how to hold my own Until I found other ways on the microphone I used to see so many out on the ave die Hung high, playin' their game and that's why So many up in the Bronx, they got done For livin' their lifestyle of crime like it was fun But now I'm hittin' you hard and pullin' the cards Of those that wanna act a fool, they got schooled And got caught with a right to the mug It wasn't enough 'cause they wanted to bug and caught a slug And got their bodies just laid to rest 'Cause in the streets, you gotta get all you can and no less The first minute you do, you get bucked So you and your crew better duck when you're steppin' to the Bronx The TR-808, straight, straight from the Bronx The TR-808, straight, straight from the Bronx The TR-808, straight, straight from the Bronx The TR-808, straight, straight from the Bronx Check it I wanna take this time to send this out to my man Greeno And to my man Scott La Rock 'Cause if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here today But since I'm here, I'ma continue to make funky music for my brothers You know what I'm sayin'? I'm outta here Peace
