A little bit better than dopestA brand new kid in showbizWith knowledge I persevereBut now do me a favor, lend me an earAnd we can find the rhyme to fill in spaceAnd drop the bass with a taste of lightLyrical perfection, see I'm equipped to umOpen your mind like a Christmas giftIt's '89, the new school is neededOriginals, see nobody can do it like we didThe D-O to the C-O, a deuce not a trioMe-o, mi-o, spin a chump like a gyroHard, dangerous, suckers angle thisCut is raw, why? Cause they can't handle thisLoot to bring, and I take a second to rock the rhythmAnd stay smooth like a prismA Portrait of a Masterpiece, It's Funky EnoughCause Dre told me it has to beA little stronger, to I make not a mistakeI'm too much on the hype tip, Dre breakCircle an answer, it's a multiple choiceWho's the kid with the golden voice?A, the brother upon this songB and C, I don't know, but that answer's wrongPure simplicity, it's the D-O to the CMost incredible, unforgettableOn a mission, the man kids want to beLike that, cause I'm one in a milHype producer, creator, makerMaking it now but I'll do it for you laterIn the mix Dre put his hands on(Scratching) Now that's a hell of a songI show and tell what should be toldAnd say it with conviction and proper use of dictionSo that it's easy to understand(Who can do it better?) Huh, no one can'88 is gone, and all you big shotsHave graduated, in other words made itSo it's a new year to start a new timeYou need to know what's on my mind so lend me an earHold the riff, sucker, cause we don't need thatIt's so don't standing and my mic don't feed backBreak, you're broke, he got up and forgotI drop science, and put his neck in a knotTrying to hold what can't be heldSo the punk records jam, I don't give a damnI do it in a different class, so what's up?You wanna break? You're all the threat of a buttercupAs knowledge coming, I'm coming never sleep or slipI fall on the serious tipStop and stutter trying to think, your brain is softWords are clogged in your throat, you're coughing onThe boss, straight from the SouthWord is bond from word of mouthSo let the nation be hip to the fact that I'm the great oneUntil I sung, no damage donePeace, a dream we all dream togetherDope forever together in a nation of oneRising and showing no fearYo, lend me a motherfucking ear
Lyrics by R. Kelly F/ Crucial Conflict
