[00:00.00] 作曲 : J. Rawls, Sanders
[01:06.36]If hip hop was a crime, I'd be a felon, sellin
[01:08.73]To all the conscious **** addicts, tragic, gotta have it
[01:11.52]Get no static, rhymes get ripped automatic
[01:14.07]Spray you from your feet to your cabbage
[01:16.23]Lyrically hit you with the spiritual, infrared won't miss
[01:19.17]Police lookin for the Catalyst
[01:21.00]Hah, usually on the blocks in your neighborhood
[01:23.49]When the flavor's good clientele's humunguous
[01:25.62]Pittsburgh, Columbus
[01:26.97]And all the other cities in the USA
[01:28.95]Networkin, soon to be worldwide for certain
[01:32.01]I know it's hurtin, competition creatin envy
[01:34.44]Sure they wanna end me when they see me in a Benzi
[01:37.05]Throw salt in my game, in my face act friendly
[01:39.63]That's why I play em close till they ass get ghost
[01:42.06]Ain't no love lost here, crampin my poster'
[01:44.67]This game is cutthroat, so I'ma aim at the utmost
[01:47.25]Spot, not knowing if I'm gonna get caught
[01:49.44]Be up in heaven, openin for Big and Tupac
[01:52.05]But that's the nature of it, some live, some kick the bucket
[01:54.99]I'd be a damn fool not to love it
[01:56.70]Right?
[01:56.91][CHORUS x2]
[01:57.18]Imagine that, if hip hop was a crime
[01:59.52]Would you stick and move, would you sell dimes?
[02:01.74]Or would you switch sides and play the role of po nine
[02:14.19]Blockin me from the go line
[02:16.14]Preventin me from gettin mine
[02:17.37][J. Sands]
[02:17.67]Everything is kosher, slayin punk MC's with my toaster
[02:20.25]Itchy finger on trigger got my rep bigger
[02:22.68]You should see em shiver knowin down deep I deliver
[02:25.23]Bulls eye, direct hit with hollow tip lyric
[02:27.69]Like the bully of the block all the kids fear it
[02:30.27]J. Sands is untouchable, how you hear it
[02:32.88]Echo wind through the hallways where I be all days
[02:35.43]Hustlin, ain't no small plate cause ****** always
[02:37.98]Wanna plot against the local cat with props
[02:40.44]Makin it harder to set up my shop upon the block
[02:43.14]Like a martyr I be in this war until I drop
[02:45.81]But if it ain't the haters it's the goddamn cops
[02:48.21]Stressin me, just so they can get some cream off the top
[02:50.67]Testin me, so now I gotta scheme, call the team
[02:53.31]Dante, [Name], J. Rawls and Raheem
[02:55.95]The ill syndicate, quick to light up the scene
[02:58.29]No prints, squeaky clean, toss the heat in the stream
[03:00.87]Rendez-vous somewhere serene around 12:15
[03:03.42]See, if you don't hold it down, no one will hold it for ya
[03:06.00]So be sure to have a alibi plus a good lawyer
[03:20.40][CHORUS x2]
