DRES:
if you want it we got it / if you need it you can get it
I said it / be just a matter of time / now it's embedded
in the atmos / a catalyst / getting dough across the atlas / activists actively active stuffing money in my mattress / with sounds of blackness / we universal in the practice / I paint a perfect picture less the platinum and theatrics / biggest poppa / I drop a top / a whip becomes irrelevant / elegant / plus my pocket's thicker than an elephant / celibate or selling it / I'll make her wanna share / pay attention when I'm telling it / you smell it in the air / the stuff you puff sit back and rock to / the sound that you hear in your ear that got you / knowing the deal / something you feel it's the real / back in the game smacking the lame it's the thrill / yo, I tell it to you the way it was told to me / what is is what was but what was could never be
PETE:
If you want it we got it / gave it all we had to give it / spit it so vivid / love it because we live it / in it for a minute now vowed to stay committed / to us it ain't a gimmick see we live where you visit / exquisite when exhibited raw / that's why we did it for y'all / no chance for success unless you give it your all / learning stages made you slip and then fall / but eventually you fit in like a brick in a wall / hip hop it's a culture not a marketing plan / revolution orchestrated in a park at a jam / speaking clearer than your demographic targeting can / retarded hard to understand like a Harvard exam / we start with the fans that's only part of the plan / lyrics harder than the hearts of martyrs guarding Iran / oh man these carbon copies ought to be banned / we off the charts like Brittany Murphy's cardiogram
BLOWOUT:
if you want we got it / any topic I'm gonna rock it / Blowout get it poppin' like a drummer in the pocket / this is what they came for / this is what they go to see / that Big Daddy Kane raw rhythm and poetry / the main source coming when the soul leaks on dope beats / and they all paid for a trip to visit the streets / for some peeps this is the closest that they'll ever be / and never really knowing why they're feeling the energy / from the floor to the ceiling I'm revealing the remedy / 85 come alive from the 5 that be dealing it to the closed eye young guys with no god / I'm preparing it and sharing it given' it back here it is / a mental quest from me Pete and Dres / pure genuine hip hop for your special request
