[pete rock]

Check the verse in the Bible says man shall never covet

But in your life you put nothing above ityou seem to love it

Invest some stocks to clock what's in my stable

Sweating me like cain sweating abelyou're unstable

You couldn't speaknow what's the fake frown for? 

The jealousythat's why you're feeling so insecure

Used to be by my side but now all I see is pride

On the quest to make luccigot you open wide

It feels funnycause it never used to be that way

Remember pr back in the day? 

Heythe number's changed and the crib's a little fatter

But if you was realyou'd see it really wouldn't matter

Check the stat in fact yodon't ever try to peep this

Don't mistake my kindness for a weakness

The name is pete rockI'll take you higher than the lism

I'm on a exodusescapism



Yocheck it out

I like to rhymeno time for silly head games

Strictly known for busting up your head frames

But skins boldact like they want to know a nigga

Break they neck to show they figure

But yoyou can't gas me upyou can't hype me

Play it cool when it comes to schooling wifey

On the ways of life it's lifechecksand big money

So the next kid will be up on your honey

Sexing your honeyflexing your benz and your money

Playing you like a crash test dummyso take it from me

Cause when it happens don't say I never told you so

Peep the verbal lessons in the flow

And ayoyou know they styleand yeah I'm here to warn ya

Getting shaky cause I'm coming up on ya

It's pete rock and c.l. smooth on a major pape mission

Rising to the topescapism



I'm sitting backI got the funk on cruise

While you snooze pete rock is steady paying his dues

Putting styles on lock and making beats by the bundle

Scooping more props than bryant gumbaland staying humble

But then you go and have to act that way

I just hit you off the other day!

But this is sickcause here you come with your crew of derelicts

Talking about you need a pair of kicksor this or that

You hang around cause the pockets are fat

But when I'm on "e" yoyou ain't trying to check for me

You got more game than rugby

You're only stressing the name now that the papes is flowing lovely

So stop searching for idealism

And check the off-beat flow of the soul brother with the realism

Shedding some light just like a prism

You can't waityou can't fake itescapism
