You Know My Steez
Keith Elam, Christopher Martin
That makes me know that, we we we we're doin'
We had the right idea in the beginning
And and we just need to maintain our focus, and elevate
We what we do we update our formulas
We have certain formulas but we update 'em (oh right)
With the times, and everything you know
And and so, ya know
The rhyme style is elevated
The style of beats is elevated
But it's still Guru and Premier
And it's always a message involved
"The real, hip-hop"
"MC'ing, and DJing from your own mind, ya know?"
"I, I guess right now we should start the show"
Who's the suspicious character strapped with the sounds profound
Similar to rounds spit by Derringers
You're in the Terrordome like my man Chuck D said
It's time to dethrone you clones, and all you knuckleheads
Cause MC's have used up extended warranties
While real MC's and DJ's are a minority
But right about now, I use my authority
'Cause I'm like the Wizard and you look lost like Dorothy
The horror be when I return for my real people
Words that split wigs, hittin' like some double Desert Eagles
Sportin' caps pulled low, and baggy slacks
Subtractin' all the rappers who lack, over Premier's tracks
Severe facts have brought this rap game to near collapse
So as I have in the past, I whoop ass
Droppin' lyrics that be hotter than sex and candle wax
And one-dimensional MC's can't handle that
While the world's revolvin' on it's axis
I come with mad love and plus the illest warlike tactics
The wilderness is filled with this
So many people searching for false bliss
I'm here with the skills you've missed
The rejected stone is now the cornerstone
Sort of like the master builder when I make my way home
You know my steez
"You know my steez"
"Let 'em know, do your thing y'all"
"Keep it live"
"To the beat y'all"
The beat is sinister, Premo makes you relax
I'm like the minister, when I be lacin' the wax
I be bringin' salvation through the way that I rap
And you know, and I know, I'm nice like that
Work through worldly problems, I got the healing power
When the mic's within my reach, I'm feelin more power
Stealing at least three minutes of every rap radio hour
It's often easier for one to give advice
Than it is for a person to run one's own life
That's why I can't be caught up in all the hype
I keep my soul tight and let these lines takes flight
The apparatus gets blessed, and suckers get put to rest
No more of the unpure I got the cure for this mess
The wackness is spreadin' like the plague
MC's lucked up and got paid but still can't make the fuckin' grade
How many times are wannabes gonna lie?
Yo they must wanna fry, they can't touch the knowledge I personify
I travel through the darkness carrying my torch
The illest soldier, when I'm holding down the fort ("You know my steez")
You know my steez
"Let 'em know, do your thing y'all"
"Keep it live"
"You know my steez"
"Let 'em know, do your thing y'all"
"Keep it live"
"You know my steez"
"Let 'em know, do your thing y'all"
"Keep it live"
"You know my steez"
"Let 'em know, do your thing y'all"
"Keep it live"
"The mic"
On the microphone you know that I'm one of the best yet
Some punks ain't paid all of their debts yet
Tryin' to be fly, ridin' high on the jet-set
With juvenile rhymes makin' fake-ass death threats
Big deal, like En Vogue, here's something you can feel
Styles more tangible, and image more real
For some time now, I've held the scrolls and manuscripts
When it's time to go all out you be like, "Damn he flipped"
Now I'm sick, fed up with the bullshit
Got the lyrical full clip, giving you a verbal ass whip
Don't trip, it's the gifted prolific one
Known as Bald Head Slick, why is the press all on my di-dick?
My style be wilder, than a kamikaze pilot
Don't try it, I'm about to start more than a friggin' riot
Styles unsurpassable, and nuckas that's suckas, yo
Them motherfuckers are harrassable
For I be speaking from my parables and carry you beyond
The mic's either a magic wand
Or it gets tragic like the havoc of a nuclear bomb
Then I grab your palm, no pulse you're gone
And if you thought we'd lose our niche in this rap shit, you way wrong
I stay up, I stay on, shine bright, like neon
Your song's, pathetic, synthetic, like Rayon
Fat beats, they play on, want dope rhymes, put me on
Word is bond, you know my steez
That makes me know that, we we we we're doin'
Isso me faz saber que, nós nós nós estamos fazendo
We had the right idea in the beginning
Tivemos a ideia certa no começo
And and we just need to maintain our focus, and elevate
E e nós só precisamos manter nosso foco, e elevar
We what we do we update our formulas
Nós o que fazemos nós atualizamos nossas fórmulas
We have certain formulas but we update 'em (oh right)
Temos certas fórmulas, mas as atualizamos (oh certo)
With the times, and everything you know
Com os tempos, e tudo que você sabe
And and so, ya know
E e então, você sabe
The rhyme style is elevated
O estilo de rima é elevado
The style of beats is elevated
O estilo de batidas é elevado
But it's still Guru and Premier
Mas ainda é Guru e Premier
And it's always a message involved
E sempre há uma mensagem envolvida
"The real, hip-hop"
"O verdadeiro, hip-hop"
"MC'ing, and DJing from your own mind, ya know?"
"MC'ing, e DJing da sua própria mente, sabe?"
"I, I guess right now we should start the show"
"Eu, eu acho que agora devemos começar o show"
Who's the suspicious character strapped with the sounds profound
Quem é o personagem suspeito preso com o som profundo
Similar to rounds spit by Derringers
Semelhante a rodadas cuspidas por Derringers
You're in the Terrordome like my man Chuck D said
Você está no Terrordome como meu homem Chuck D disse
It's time to dethrone you clones, and all you knuckleheads
É hora de destronar vocês clones, e todos vocês cabeças-duras
Cause MC's have used up extended warranties
Porque MC's usaram garantias estendidas
While real MC's and DJ's are a minority
Enquanto MC's e DJ's reais são minoria
But right about now, I use my authority
Mas agora, eu uso minha autoridade
'Cause I'm like the Wizard and you look lost like Dorothy
Porque eu sou como o Mago e você parece perdido como Dorothy
The horror be when I return for my real people
O horror será quando eu voltar para meu povo real
Words that split wigs, hittin' like some double Desert Eagles
Palavras que dividem perucas, batendo como algumas Águias do Deserto duplas
Sportin' caps pulled low, and baggy slacks
Usando bonés puxados para baixo, e calças largas
Subtractin' all the rappers who lack, over Premier's tracks
Subtraindo todos os rappers que faltam, sobre as faixas do Premier
Severe facts have brought this rap game to near collapse
Fatos severos trouxeram este jogo de rap para quase colapso
So as I have in the past, I whoop ass
Então, como eu fiz no passado, eu chuto bundas
Droppin' lyrics that be hotter than sex and candle wax
Soltando letras que são mais quentes que sexo e cera de vela
And one-dimensional MC's can't handle that
E MC's unidimensionais não conseguem lidar com isso
While the world's revolvin' on it's axis
Enquanto o mundo está girando em seu eixo
I come with mad love and plus the illest warlike tactics
Eu venho com muito amor e mais as táticas de guerra mais doentes
The wilderness is filled with this
A selva está cheia disso
So many people searching for false bliss
Tantas pessoas procurando por falsa felicidade
I'm here with the skills you've missed
Estou aqui com as habilidades que você perdeu
The rejected stone is now the cornerstone
A pedra rejeitada é agora a pedra angular
Sort of like the master builder when I make my way home

"Let 'em know, do your thing y'all"

"No ritmo pessoal"
The beat is sinister, Premo makes you relax
A batida é sinistra, Premo faz você relaxar
I'm like the minister, when I be lacin' the wax
Eu sou como o ministro, quando estou passando a cera
I be bringin' salvation through the way that I rap
Eu trago salvação através da maneira que eu rimo
And you know, and I know, I'm nice like that
E você sabe, e eu sei, eu sou bom assim
Work through worldly problems, I got the healing power
Trabalho através de problemas mundanos, eu tenho o poder de cura
When the mic's within my reach, I'm feelin more power
Quando o microfone está ao meu alcance, eu sinto mais poder
Stealing at least three minutes of every rap radio hour
Roubando pelo menos três minutos de cada hora de rádio de rap
It's often easier for one to give advice
É frequentemente mais fácil para alguém dar conselhos
Than it is for a person to run one's own life
Do que é para uma pessoa administrar a própria vida
That's why I can't be caught up in all the hype
É por isso que eu não posso ser pego em todo o hype
I keep my soul tight and let these lines takes flight
Eu mantenho minha alma firme e deixo essas linhas voarem
The apparatus gets blessed, and suckers get put to rest
O aparelho é abençoado, e os sugadores são postos para descansar
No more of the unpure I got the cure for this mess
Não mais dos impuros, eu tenho a cura para essa bagunça
The wackness is spreadin' like the plague
A fraqueza está se espalhando como a praga
MC's lucked up and got paid but still can't make the fuckin' grade
MC's tiveram sorte e foram pagos, mas ainda não conseguem fazer a maldita nota
How many times are wannabes gonna lie?
Quantas vezes os wannabes vão mentir?
Yo they must wanna fry, they can't touch the knowledge I personify
Eles devem querer fritar, eles não podem tocar o conhecimento que eu personifico
I travel through the darkness carrying my torch
Eu viajo através da escuridão carregando minha tocha
The illest soldier, when I'm holding down the fort ("You know my steez")

Styles unsurpassable, and nuckas that's suckas, yo
Estilos insuperáveis, e caras que são sugadores, yo

O microfone é uma varinha mágica

Tryin' to be fly, ridin' high on the jet-set

With juvenile rhymes makin' fake-ass death threats

Big deal, like En Vogue, here's something you can feel

Ensuite, je te prends la paume, pas de pouls, tu es parti

Subtractin' all the rappers who lack, over Premier's tracks
Subtrahieren aller Rapper, die über Premier's Tracks fehlen
Severe facts have brought this rap game to near collapse
Schwere Fakten haben dieses Rap-Spiel fast zum Einsturz gebracht
So as I have in the past, I whoop ass
So wie ich es in der Vergangenheit getan habe, verprügele ich Ärsche
Droppin' lyrics that be hotter than sex and candle wax

Stealing at least three minutes of every rap radio hour
Stehle mindestens drei Minuten von jeder Rap-Radiostunde
It's often easier for one to give advice
Es ist oft einfacher, Ratschläge zu geben
Than it is for a person to run one's own life
Als es für eine Person ist, ihr eigenes Leben zu führen
That's why I can't be caught up in all the hype
Deshalb kann ich nicht in all den Hype verwickelt werden
I keep my soul tight and let these lines takes flight
Ich halte meine Seele fest und lasse diese Zeilen fliegen
The apparatus gets blessed, and suckers get put to rest
Das Gerät wird gesegnet, und Sauger werden zur Ruhe gelegt
No more of the unpure I got the cure for this mess

The wackness is spreadin' like the plague
Die Schwäche verbreitet sich wie die Pest
MC's lucked up and got paid but still can't make the fuckin' grade
