(stuff in is whispered)
(tricky:)
We know how you do
We can see through you
We know how you do
We can see through you
(milo:)
You cant see me
No detail
Make the whole crowd pump their fist like bobby seal
Captivate like I was rap brown on the mic
Known to stomp a fake rap clown on sight
What you like
No compromise
No stompin right through
No surprise
Cos I got [cs of v]
Man I dont need the weed
Your crew [go wanna] test me
Get it on
I combinate like [jim beam]
To the break of dawn
And youll be that punk in a ditch
You can grab the mic and get rich
(tricky:)
You say you never heard of this
Do you [uhm] wanna swear to this?
I got a word for this
You wannabe alternative?
Dont carry no chrome even
Life alone
Creepin
Microphone
At fifteen, I started to get high though
Ooh my voice it went from high to low
Some persons hide a little
Like [clyde] from dj milo
Thats how it is,
I let [them dandy] handle my business
He got heaps on heaps and on heaps of integrity
And foolish suckers, theyre scared of me
Theres no need to be scared off
I just got a big mouth
Guess Ill get off
Get back
When you suckers are slack
You smack me, I smack you back
Smack me and Ill smack you back
Smack me and Ill smack you back
[sing the verdict]
Smack me and Ill smack you back
If you do not suck in high though
Ooh my voice went from high to low
[mmm..dj milo]
At fifteen, I started to get high though
My voice went from high to low
From [brooke] I hid a little
I hung out with dj milo
And thats how it is
[fifteen...high to low]
(milo:)
[kick that shit man]
(tricky:)
[yes [? ? ? ? ]]
[back in business]
[[high to ho]]
[back in business]
Smack me and well smack you back
Smack me and Ill smack you back
Smack me and Ill smack you back
You smack me and Ill smack you back
[thats how it is]
Say youve never heard of this
How they wanna [switch] to this
I got a word for this
You wannabe alternative
Fifteen, I sucked in [high to ho]
I get high with dj milo
We know how you do
We can see through you
Thats how it is
We know how you do
We can see through you
[dont wanna be alternative]
[i dont carry no chrome]
[i leave my]
[gun at home]
[smack me and Ill smack you back]
[thats how it is]
[we back in biz]
[we can see through you]
