It's been seven days, the same clothes
Ask them originals 'cause they know
Mos Def, Nate Dogg, and Pharoahe
Step away from the mic, they too cold
The funk might fracture your nose
Say my name, say my name
Observe how I stake my claim
I independently laid down and paved my game
My own two raise my flame, 'cause dickridin' ain't my thing
I earned what they said I wouldn't
I got it the way they said I couldn't
But now I'm gettin' it and they whole grill is crooked
Mad 'cause I'm gettin' caked out from my bookings
When y'all was askin' permission, I just stepped up and took it
What? The kid's better buy my rookie card now
'Cause after this year, the price ain't comin' down
And if you got a joint bubblin', then get money now
'Cause in a minute, there's gonna be some real trouble comin' out
Just a warnin', as usual, some cats won't heed it
The hard-headed always gotta feel it to believe it
It's a shame they jealous gaze is too short to see it
But when they face hit the cement, they nod in agreement
We could play nice and decent, or dirty like the 7-1 precinct
Call it a day, or make it a long evenin'
You keep on schemin', and give me some more reason
To have the women in your mama's church screamin', "Lord Jesus"
Harder than y'all 'cause I'm smarter than y'all

The mathematic problem for y'all, it just get harder to solve
Every day that the saga evolve
The do-or-die stay rumblin' and bubblin' hard
And when we move, we ain't got no discussion at all
East Coast's on your neck and you ain't shruggin' it off
Try to bullyfoot and end up stumblin' off
I'm Daddy Brooklyn, y'all niggas are the sons of New York
Gettin' spanked when there's too much trouble to talk
Respect mine

From Long Beach to Brooklyn, they know
We rock from the East to West Coast
Queens, salute to Pharoahe
Step away from the mic, they too cold
The funk might fracture your nose
Very contagious raps should be trapped in cages
Through stages of wackness, Pharoahe's raps are blazin'
And it amazes me how you claim thug
But go two-ways without Skytel pagers
I'm intellectual, pass more esés
Than motorcade police parades through East L.A.
More beef then deli's, thus, what I vent is just (uh)
What you lust to vent is irrele'
Huh, hallelujah, Pharoahe Monch'll do ya

Pharoahe's flows blows shows like Afros
We hate y'all though, that's why Nate Dogg goes
Oh no
Niggas ain't scared to hustle
It's been seven days, the same clothes
Ask them originals 'cause they know

Nur eine Warnung, wie üblich, einige Katzen werden sie nicht beachten
The hard-headed always gotta feel it to believe it
Die Hartköpfigen müssen es immer fühlen, um es zu glauben
It's a shame they jealous gaze is too short to see it
Es ist eine Schande, dass ihr neidischer Blick zu kurz ist, um es zu sehen
But when they face hit the cement, they nod in agreement
Aber wenn ihr Gesicht auf den Zement trifft, nicken sie zustimmend
