[modeled after "Best Kept Secret" by Diamond D]



[Grand Agent]

I run through your veins like James & The Famous Flames

Name is Grand Agent, this is how you play the game

Lay up in the cut like the babies in your nuts

Even though you wanna make it born, never rush

Treat it like a trick and cover up your dick and

feel what you spit and you might write a hit and

maybe you won't, but I still think you dope

Not the type to hope that a brother drop the soap

like the kid up in Half Baked, check the second Quest tape

"It's the rap industry and it ain't that cool."

But worse though it's ignorant, not to make niggas rich

Even Chuck D sell his stuff on the internet

Now you wanna get outta ya deal (Fuck you talkin bout?)

Don't let this rhyme change how the way you feel

Naaah, don't be mad cuz it ain't all good

Believin everything that you saw in the hood

It goes on and on into show-biz

with the dumb shit, on some "Yo where you from kid?"

Now you represent that, though it's evident that

you talkin bout places that you ain't never been at

In fact, I'ma say it again

Livin by the pen is minglin with mayhem - c'mon



[Chorus x2: various samples]

"Grand, Agent" - "North Philly's most wanted!"

"Grand Agent" - "Minglin with mayhem"

"Grand, Agent" - "North Philly's most wanted!"

"Grand Agent" - "Minglin with mayhem"



[Grand Agent]

See I write my own rhymes, produce my own hits

and I'm never at a loss for new shit

I take a whole song and rape it

with so much finesse though, brothers can't hate it

And if they do then so what it's all love

What I'm about to say should be dug

Rap is my bitch and your bitch is my bitch and

some of y'all is rich, but your rhymes ain't shit

So how do you frauds like me now?

I only hit grand slams, never will I foul

Brothers pop fly when they be catchin deals

I step to your crew cuz I know they think for you

Yo, you can't hustle down this way

"Aiyyo Grand, I heard you moved to LA!"

You gotta know folks, a whole lotta folks

but if they whack, then it don't mean jack man

You better off on your own ock

Doin this for the love of Hip Hop

I gotta thousand rhymes books at the crib

not for show though, it's just the way I live

See, me I want the show doe, some get no dough

It's up to you though, choose your own path bro

But remember when you live by the pen

Yo kid, you're minglin with mayhem



[Chorus]



[Grand Agent]

Yo, it's deadlier than being truthful

Sometimes when you that and you black then they shoot you

But the norm it's not, if you perform a lot

make sure it's not warm, but hot

In other words, earn your stardom

Never follow something other than your own calling

Rough and rugged, not for the timid

Inside the North Blunt Illadel city limits

learned from the greats so the flakes and fakes

gotta hold tight, yeah they just gotta wait

I'm not speakin to upset ya, I bet the lecture

.. will enhance your whole two-bit

education on this rap shit, you got it ass backwards

Gotta speak truth irregardless of the facts kid

Word - but if preferred, you can be a bitch

To get a deal you be a eight-to-one pick

It's in the handle, can you handle your pen?

Yo, you're minglin with mayhem



[Chorus x2]
