Roc-A-Fella Records<br />
The Imperial Skateboard P<br />
Great Hova<br />
Y'all already know what it is<br />
C'mon! Yeah<br />
<br />
So what if you flip a couple words, I could triple that in verse<br />
Open your mind you see the circus in the sky<br />
I'm Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey with the pies<br />
No matter how you slice it, I'm your mother****in' guy<br />
<br />
And just like a B-Boy with 360 waves<br />
Do the same with the pot, still come back beige<br />
Whether right or southpaw, whether pot or a jar<br />
Whip it around, it still comes back hard<br />
<br />
So easily do I W-H-I-P<br />
My repetition with riches will bring the kilo business<br />
I got Creole C-O *******, for my *****s who slipped<br />
Became prisoners, treats taped to the visitors<br />
<br />
You already know what the business is<br />
Unnecessary commissary, boy we live this ****<br />
****** wanna bring the '80s back<br />
That's okay with me, that's where they made me at<br />
<br />
Except I don't write on the wall<br />
I write my name in the history books hustlin' in the hall<br />
Nah, I don't spin on my head<br />
I spin my work into pot so I can spend my bread<br />
<br />
And I'm gettin' it, I'm gettin' it<br />
I ain't talkin' about it, I'm livin' it<br />
I'm gettin' it, straight gettin' it<br />
G-g-get it boy<br />
<br />
Don't waste your time fighting the life<br />
Stay your course and you'll understand<br />
Get it boy<br />
<br />
This '87 state of mind that I'm in<br />
In my prime, so for that time I'm Rakim<br />
If it wasn't for the crime that I was in<br />
But I wouldn't be the guy whose rhymes it is that I'm in<br />
<br />
No pain, no profit<br />
P, I'll repeat it to show you where the pot is<br />
Cherry M3s with the top back<br />
Red and green G's all on my hat<br />
<br />
North Beach leathers, matchin' Gucci sweater<br />
Gucci sneaks on to keep my outfit together<br />
Whatever, hundred for the diamond chain<br />
Can't you tell that I came from the dope game?<br />
<br />
Blame Reagan for makin' me into a monster<br />
Blame Oliver North and Iran-Contra<br />
I ran contraband that they sponsored<br />
Before this rhymin' stuff we was in concert<br />
<br />
And I'm gettin' it, I'm gettin' it<br />
I ain't talkin' about it, I'm livin' it<br />
I'm gettin' it, straight gettin' it<br />
G-g-get it boy<br />
<br />
Don't waste your time fightin' the life<br />
Stay your course and you'll understand<br />
Get it boy<br />
<br />
Push, money over broads you got it<br />
**** Bush, chef, guess what I cooked<br />
Baked a lot of bread and kept it off the books<br />
<br />
Rock star, look<br />
Way before the bars my picture was gettin' took<br />
Feds, they like whack rappers<br />
Try as they may they couldn't keep me on the hook<br />
<br />
D.A. wanna indict me<br />
'Cause fish scales in my veins like a Pisces<br />
The Pyrex pot rolled up my sleeves<br />
Turned one into two like a Siamese twin<br />
<br />
When it end, I'ma stand as a man<br />
Never dying on my knees, last of a dyin' breed<br />
So let the champagne pop<br />
I partied for a while now I'm back to the block<br />
<br />
And I'm gettin' it, I'm gettin' it<br />
I ain't talkin' about it, I'm livin' it<br />
I'm gettin' it, straight gettin' it<br />
G-g-get it boy<br />
<br />
Don't waste your time fighting the life<br />
Stay your course and you'll understand<br />
Get it boy<br />
<br />
Blue Magic, that's a brand name<br />
Like Pepsi, that's a brand name<br />
I stand behind it, I guarantee it, they know that<br />
Even if they don't know me any more<br />
Than they know th-th-the chairman of General Mills
