RAPPER: Ha ha, Scritti Politti gettin' busy

Most definitely Lee Majors with the flava

Notify all your neighbours on ya pager

We bustin' it down just this way

From UK to the USA

Whether you be at your work or play

We bustin' it down for you y'all

It's like this, like this y'all

Come on, this one right here, it's for them knuckleheads who keep frontin'

Thinking they know everything but they know nothing

Step to the function, with the bass ackwards assumption

That Mos Def and Lee Majors ain't sumpin' bumpin' (yeah come on)

I know that look in your face, it's uncertainty

You wanna dance and act hard, it's not working B

Well who you herbin' be? You ain't serving me

Well my crew got it hot like Mercury

GREEN: I've got my suspicions

They made your mind up

(Your certainties are dead now)

Too smart to be sure

They made your mind up

(Your certainties are dead uh)

Too sure to be certain

They made your mind up

(Your certainties are dead)

Too smart to be sure

They made your mind up

(Your certainties are dead now)

I've got my suspicions

RAPPER: You can't say you know rap if you don't know me

An' don't say you know rhymes if you can't MC

The only thing I know B, is that I'm living to die

Slice the pie eighty ways and find ways to get by

While the know it alls roam the street, knowing they lie

I'm with the Scritti P O L I T T I

Tryin' to fly like R Kelly in the belly of the beast

Watch the know it alls blow it, all stuck in the streets

Stay in your seats, I'm dead, certain this sounds sweet

In a world where life's cheap, got to know where to sleep

Knowing the creep and know who's really under your sheets

And what you don't know just might hurt you, now that's deep

Change position, some listen, some be slippin'

Some trippin' and some of ya'll need ass whippin'

For talking what you don't know, here's some advice

The price for dead certainty, sometimes could be you life, like that

GREEN: I've got my suspicions

They made your mind up

(Your certainties are dead now)

Too smart to be sure

They made your mind up

(Your certainties are dead uh)

Too sure to be certain

They made your mind up

(Your certainties are dead)

Too smart to be sure

They made your mind up

(Your certainties are dead now)

I've got my suspicions

RAPPER: Some jokers can't take advice to save their life

Try to shine some light makin' it tight like that alright

In the trade of life they play the teacher, never students on the low-low

The jokers don't know what they be doin'

You confuse them with your ways an' acts and your disposition

But be the first to talk about how other cats don't listen

But that's you black, I'm speaking true fact, I seen you do that

Somebody drop a gem and you be like "For real, I knew that"

Save it, the entire approach is gettin' aged

It's part the reason why your crew will not return your pages

You're getting famous for being straight out shameless

You enter nameless and exit like some entertainer

You see that be that what there why I keep us talkin'

Whatever, just long as you tell the story walking

You want to be cerebral then use your cerebellum

'Cause for real they don't know that you slow until you tell 'em

GREEN: I've got my suspicions

They made your mind up

(Your certainties are dead now)

Too smart to be sure

They made your mind up

(Your certainties are dead uh)

Too sure to be certain

They made your mind up

(Your certainties are dead)

Too smart to be sure

They made your mind up

(Your certainties are dead now)

I've got my suspicions

Make your mind up

I've got my suspicions

Make your mind up

I've got my suspicions

Make your mind up

I've got my suspicions

Make your mind up

Sure I'm certain, I'm certain I'm sure

I won't find what I'm searching for

What you see from the grave to the cradle

Sure I'm certain, I'm certain I'm sure

I won't find what I'm searching for

What you see from the grave to the cradle

I've got my suspicions

Make your mind up

Make your mind up

Make your mind up

RAPPER: I've got my suspicions, yeah
