Brother With A Purpose

M.C. T. on a hit and 2 make sure I don't miss

Kick the beat since this fool persists

Step off me, get the hell off, well I'm riding (Whoo!)

Flowing with this funky beat, U suckers keep on tryin' 2 diss this

Uh-uh, I ain't having it

Sucker duck, understand my schedule work 2 heavy

I'm a man, I mean, sometimes it seems

Damn, I'm clean but I can still cop a lean

And explain 2 U a M.C. who's got beef

I'm giving grief 2 disbelief

U said that I was new 2 this, well put me on your hit list

I'm 'quipped 2 rule, and I squash all the bull

We got our own ideas! {x2} (Yeah)

Antagonistic action

It's just a fraction of what I feel 4 U

I'll take my time in a rhyme, yo, let's bust a move

I'm steppin' with confidence, yes, I know it's evident

A backseat 2 U - that's irrelevant

U see it's like this, U shot and missed

And now it's my turn, U learn

U mess with the fire, U burn

And it's a heat-up situation sticky

U're the duck, uh-huh, I won't be picky

I'm bassin', U're chasing a dream that I'm livin'

U stupid pigeon,

Cuz even with the high flow, I keep a low-pro

U step off on me, and that's a sho'nuff N-O

I mean a no-go

Yeah, something like that

We got our own ideas! (Yeah, yeah) {x2}

Fucker be tryin' 2 step on my tip, yeah

(Lay down your funky weapon)

I'm a brother with a purpose (Yeah, pump it up, T.)

(Come join us on the floor)

So I'll take my time and serve this right

(Makin' love and music's the only things worth fighting 4)

Despite the negativity

Never want society 2 get the best of me

(We are the New Power Generation)

U sold out, just another fool, holdin' out

On the pockets of my brothers tryin' 2 get clout

(The only thing that's in our way is U)

Step back, cast the vapors

Your vision's blurred, check out my behavior

Calm, cool, never sweat the issue (So whatcha saying?)

Boy, what I'm saying is that we're past due

(Sick and tired of U tellin' us what 2 do)

Gotta stand up and be counted

Can't U see the trouble keeps mountin', boy?

And I won't stand 4 it

So get off cuz I'm about 2 have a fit

U can't step unless U step legit

Enough talk y'all, this is it

Let's get ill with this

Yeah, yeah

Huh

Suckers be trying 2 step up on my tip {x4}

We got our own ideas! {x3}

As I roast, U toast - can't stand the heat of the aftermath

(Oh-oh-oh) {repeat in background}

The words U ran with, U dissed just 2 get a laugh

The brother U ridiculed, they say U're the king of rules

Yeah, time 4 school

Time 4 walkin', I'm stalkin', U're talkin'

As U run your mouth down, I'm chalkin' up

Another way of gettin' paid in dividends

In the end, my friend, it's just a verbal blend

Yeah, get with that

Wassup?

We got our own ideas! (Yeah)

Wassup?

We got our own ideas! (Yeah)

Brothers be jockin', freaks be clockin'

Brothers be jockin', skeezers are clockin'

We got our own ideas!

Skeezers be on my tip (Yeah)

Trying 2 get with this

We got our own ideas!

Skeezers be on my tip (Yeah)

Trying 2 get with this

Skeezers be on my tip (Yeah)

Trying 2 get with this

Skeezers be on my tip (Yeah)

We got our own ideas!

Trying 2 get 2 this

Clockin', I got my own ideas

And they ain't got nothing 2 do what's in here

See ya next year - '91 in full effect

I'm getting ign'ant (Whoo!)

(Yeah, yeah)

We got our own ideas! (Yeah, yeah)
