Da Two - Pete Rock, C.L. Smooth

Then I remind you of third street when it was sweet

See this, move on and grow to another plateau

With me and… havin that dough

In the last days when critical times, Ileft

To deal with my grand daddy’s endeavors

When correcting my errors the first shot came in 91

E.P.

done my struggle

To label this untouchable foundation due in 92, top ten review

Respect new when that flew, They Reminisce Over You

Skirt chasin what they rate me in this whole rap affair

But when it really comes down to it who cares

Like the tortoise and the hare ya know the race I run

But ya losin all the nights, ya let the rabbit get the gun

Number one wit a bullet and my pit name, black

It’s the best who ever did it on a Pete Rock track

Ayo two cool cats who reclaim the name

Pete Rock and C.L.

Smooth in this here rap game

But the good news is that there is a crew

Not 5 not 4 not 3 (Just two!)

In the beginning, let it be like the record spinning

As a child I stack 45's in a pile blow the dust off

Put it on before I can walk

Play static on my pop dukes automatic

I knew I wasn’t average music in my bloodstream

My pops watch his son live his dream

Now as time flew, the original classy rock crew

Shine through on streets and avenues

The next chapter you read it MC Shan said it

Gotta give the man behind wheels credit

Yes yes y’all, BLS and Marley Marl

The Rap Attack put my talents on the map

Now it’s Pete Rock for days in Tha Basement

As I amaze watch me blow in 98 ways

I specialize in rap, DJ and produce

With more hot tracks then Carlos DeJesus

Hook x2

What it look like, ain’t nothin changed but the weather

Still riding with C.D.'s and leather, roll fives and better

For all that’s folded in ya pocket, how long it take

To re-up and clock it, drop and make a profit

And lay my position with you that we know what to do

And not to do, stop this fighting each other

God knowledge ya wiz, that you know who the enemy is, furthermore

Don’t hide it divide it then X ya squares

To keep them other cats folded like beach chairs

Got an eye on that street aristocrat

Let C.L.

show ya where the strengths at

Turn it up right here or just call the cop

Cuz we on it like this to the last stop

The next Humphrey Bogart, mastering art

Like a jeweler wit a diamond cutter, taking em apart

Don’t start what ya can’t finish

When ya bubble wit skills that never diminish

Ya best team against mine is a light scrimmage

So play like Popeye and eat spinach

Hook x2
