Square One - INI/Pete Rock
Huh
I got some time to explain the true grading of a rhymewriter
So take the stance of a gunfighter
Others inject intellect for selfrespect
Or simply kickin' verses for a tight paycheck
But they neglect is creative aspects in control
The sounds and words originate up in the soul
My thoughts cross wack emcees and wickedness
They seem to go hand in hand in the mess
That's formed the dawn of the fake emcee
It's really funny to me how brothers front like they deadly see
Jah be's with me so ras g is no fool
Respectin' the original school that wrote the rules
I'm layin' all these real a** facts upon the wax
Mass communication minus fakin' the jax
So relax all the gods will make you crumble and fall
Keepin' you on the run as we start from square one
The ini's in the house you don't stop
Rap motherf**kers on the rise you don't stop
Square one
The ini's in the house you don't stop
Rap motherf**kers on the rise you don't stop
Square one
The ini's in the house you don't stop
Rap motherf**kers on the rise you don't stop
Square one
The ini's in the house you don't stop
Rap motherf**kers on the rise you don't stop
Square one
I have to get what I want cause now it's no time to front
It's ini on the hunt just to smoke up the funk
With no fear in this industry we in here
So surprised I appear I play the back or the rear
I pushed and shoved to get in and I've seen every sin
And it's been a long time considerin'
But no bitter man african rastafarian non-american
Checkin' every man yeah
In my zone because the eye is all alone in this universe
I see the worst now I'm comin' in first
A brother's thirst got him eager to merc
In full effect cause I'm stayin' alert
Bless the hurt at each and every concert
Taught well to be the very next expert
Never the spare one I'm steppin' up to shoot a fair one
Settin' it off from square one
The ini's in the house you don't stop
Rap motherf**kers on the rise you don't stop
Square one
The ini's in the house you don't stop
Rap motherf**kers on the rise you don't stop
Square one
The ini's in the house you don't stop
Rap motherf**kers on the rise you don't stop
Square one
The ini's in the house you don't stop
Rap motherf**kers on the rise you don't stop
Square one
In '95 nuff kids can catch the vapors
Rob o spends his time puttin' words to paper
