My Writes
De La Soul

Yo, who hold guns and rock ice bigger than life

Got bitches throwin' they drawers on stage, that ain't me

I raise kids, push whips, piss an MC

Love money like I love my moms


Love my nigga Com Sense

When he bang dents all up in they wallets

Wall to wall bullshit, I got hardwood floors

Set sail for tour ever since eighty-nine

So y'all are fuckin' the same hoes who used to be mine


And I've been waitin' three summers to rhyme alongside my people

Rico, De La, inject you with the lethal

Dose of hop hippin' if you thought CaTash was slippin'

Then put that drink down, you drunk off what you sippin'

CaTash put the dip in dip dive socialize

Fuck around with me and next you'll find yo' crib burglarized


Yo, you better recognize and try to analyze this

Hand over fist, how can a man act like a bitch?

Change and switch, snitch on his crew

Yo, get rid of the niggaz before the same thing happen to you


And they'll leave your ass sticky like glue

Blood leakin' out, girls freakin' out

Motherfuckin' cops tweakin' out

Got you on your knees like a freak


Jugglin' deez nuts smugglin' these cuts from S.C.

You best believe there's no web or weave a net

We done swallowed 40 bottles of threat


Yo, what you know about my writes?

What you know about what's weak, what's tight?

And what you know about an off night?

What you know about niggaz frontin' for the light?


And what you know about them gun fights?

Got a nigga duckin' while them girls show fright

And what you know about my writes?

Ah, what you know about my writes?


Yeah, yeah, look, I'm Samson without Delilah, the soul survivor

The drunk driver that rolls straight, take the whole cake

Chop it up with the family, wash it down with alcohol

My celly's a Desert Eagle for all the fuckin' shots I call


My niggaz gotta ball, never settle for less

Heavy metal, heavy on yo' chest like two breasts

Step into my office 'cause it's time for you to roll somethin'

One false move, and we gon' beat you like you stole somethin'


Yo these styles I kick should be called Bic raps

Drawin' the pussy out the nigga after my prize, 'cause I won it

They stomach what I throw, they know I'm right for they diet

They librarian flow keeps the party real quiet


The love I lost outweighs the rhymes I gain

But the fact that I spit 'em makes me cherish the name

So pass the mic so I can put in my share

I rip it from home to L.A. with connectin' flights to rip it elsewhere


Drinkin' up Black and Tan in the back of a van

I learned as a young man, long trip, piss in a can

Gettin' a house for two grand, now you got your own land

Let your mind expand, everyday have a plan


Ro-Gram is rare earth, swingin' Black Tarzan

You got to live with the cards dealt in yo' hand

Stay young like Peter Pan, like Sly, take a Stand

And go, 'Uptown Saturday Night' like Geechie Dan


I keep it dirty like under the bed

Dirty like Uncle Red, aiyyo, well hella poo-poo

Dirty brown Liquid flow thicker than the Yoo-hoo

Dirt you dishin' out, chef tellin' it all


Face down in the dirt, doin' my dirty work

Expert, tryin' to regulate my network

Head jerk, spice it with rice, stiff with it

If they ask who cut the grits I'ma say E-Swift did it


Yo, what you know about my writes?

What you know about what's weak, what's tight?

And what you know about an off night?

What you know about niggaz frontin' for the light?


And what you know about them gun fights?

Got a nigga duckin' while them girls show fright

And what you know about my writes?

Ah, what you know about my writes?


And I've been known to get it on, past the break of the dawn

Tash'll punch you in your grill and leave 'Potholes in Yo' Lawn'

You makin' diss songs? Spit that rhyme my way

I can shut y'all niggaz down like the Y-2-K


I did a tour in ninety-four with De La Soul and Tribe

We on the same vibe, 'cause real niggaz coincide

The situation is drastic

But see songs like these is why this album goin' classic


This is for the DJ, bring it back one time

I drop bombs like when my moms told me to rhyme

I'm old school like my dad is

So add this, to your collect', Plug Won, who the baddest?


Aiyyo, we theme park status, upstage these niggaz like Gladys

Them little Pips, they done tripped the wire

Blamin' they legs, while I'm claimin' these tunes

In this we'll stay down like seats found in sorority bathrooms


Yeah, we flat out classic, separate the real from the plastic

And I ain't gotta say no names

Play no games, hit the switches, crack the frame

Show no shame or fuck it all up, take the blame


Brand name fresh out the box type hustle

Manpower success is mind over muscle

Grind til the wheels fall off, accept the loss

I never been soft, whatever the cost, addicted to floss


Nailed to the cross it's time to return

My only concern is makin' sure that Hollywood burn

Hollywood burn, burn to the ground

Trick-ass niggaz is all up in the game and don't deserve to be down


Four bottle rap, twist the cap and kick back

De La, Xzibit and Tha Liks came to get that

And what you know about us droppin' ya

And leavin' you with half a face like the Phantom of the Opera?


And what you know about my writes?

What you know about what's weak, what's tight?

And what you know about an off night?

What you know about niggaz frontin' for the light?


And what you know about them gun fights?

Got a nigga duckin' while them girls show fright

And what you know about my writes?

Ah, what you know about my writes?

Ah, what you know about my writes?

Ah, what you know about my writes?


You got the right to shut the fuck up
