[Pete Rock]

rock the house (rock the house)

east New York, east New York

east New York, east New York

east New York, east New York

my man AZ to the fullest



Verse 1: AZ

we was already loyal to people's minds and mulianis

now we more fucked up with a mayor named Guliani

you can try to bomb me

analyze but can't define me

my mind's divine heavily entwined with Ghandi's

far from feeble, I leave your nostrils hard to breathe through

cause my cerebral's are more of a higher plane

than the Hebrews

my mic devotion brings out my deepest emotions

overdosing wannabes posing

sending them through convulsions

to hard to follow, you took a bite but couldn't swallow

your mind's boggled

but I'm as deep as Donald Goines novels

my whole persona's kinda laid back like a recliner

and since my mama, I been fucking with marijuana

wavy-haired, my skin got a money getting glare

strictly menace wear, macking offa Guinness beer

so where it all begins is here

destiny and me finally meet

so how can I be weak?

I'm rather unique



chorus:

[scratched in w/ Pete Rock ad-libs]

why, why, why I'm rather unique

why I'm rather unique --  Big Daddy Kane



Verse 2: AZ

my verbals rip shit

Brains give birth to thoughts in triplets

fuck it I'm on some flip shit

ready to let my clip spit, dramatical

vocals release shells like automatics

Do music's magical causing any battle to be tragical

I got styles sick as hell, sicker than sickle cell anemia

slaughter your circulatory like lukemia

filled with larceny, who want parts of me?

I'm vicious, mad malicious

cause it's real on this road to riches

I got this mastered, other rappers'll craft it

weak and wicked camoflauged as killers

how they speak and kick it

peep this uniqueness

nonbelievers I'm leaving speechless

left to chokers and skunk smoke

was coming through the speakers

surgically nice with any verbal device

trife, breathing life into mics

my insight's beyond the twilight

so die, fight, no surrender, no retreat

techniques speak

I'm rather unique



chorus [w/ ad-libs]



Verse 3: AZ

so it's gonna take more than your astrologist

to knowledge this

a physiologist couldn't even figure out the exoticness

raps demolishing certified the way I style it

my wordplay blaze with the rays of ultraviolence

my culture's smiling, getting more in depth with each breath

my biography follows the footsteps of Malcolm X

money and sex, Gore-Tex Donna Karan and Guess

finesse, success through the life

stress mics I blessed

puffing trees to get me high as trapeze

flipping Japanese at ease when I'm stacking G's

so let's discuss, plus degrees

how the rhyme forces the source for thoughts that's lost

so don't cross cause it'll cost

the ghetto savior, smooth, the real playa with flavor

moves be major

with unexplainable behavior

the word's on the street so keep your ears to the concrete

[why, why, why I'm rather unique]



chorus [w/ ad-libs]
