nationWorld population confront they frustrationThe principles of true hip-hop have been forsakenIt's all contractual and about money makinPretend-to-be cats don't seem to know they limitationExact replication and false representationYou wanna be a man, then stand your ownTo MC requires skills, I demand some shownI let the frauds keep frontinAnd roam like a celluar phone far from homeGivin crowds what they wantinOffical hip-hop consumption, the 5th thumpinKeepin ya party jumpin with an original somethinYo, I dedicate this to the one dimension-alNo imagination, excuse for perpetrationMy man came over and said, "Yo we thought we heard you"Joke's on you; you heard a bitin-ass crew but um..Chorus: Raphael SaadiqNever do....what they do, what they do, what they do...Never do....what they

few'll blow up, or go as far as they can take itMy nine to five, is just to hit ya get the party liveI'm Black Thought, used to rap for sportNow the rhymes sayin rent payin life supportI take it very serious-ly, within this in-dustryIt's various crews that try to touch meBut I come with the beautiful things, and I bless the track plushlyAround the world crowds love me, from doin toursRecepient of applause from all of you and yoursCreator of original sounds to send to storesyou take home, to absorb and sweat it out your poresNow who can stop the music runnin through these veinsInfinitely go

the darkWhen I first spark the arts, when the listenin startOpen your head wide, and let the Thought insideMy style fortified by all of Philadel-phiI've dealt more stealth than all the wicked weal-thyMentality undetectable by the naked eyeThen I get paid when the record is playedTo put it short "I want it made" like Ed, nuff saidThen after that, I'm puttin on my cousin HamedWe let the
