Pete Rock, O.C. - Respect Mine lyrics

"Yo, brothers respect mine!" yeah!
(Yo, turn it up)
Fuck keepin' it real, I keep it right
Naw'mean? (yeah)
"Yo, brothers respect mine!" no doubt
"Yo, brothers respect mine!"
You little crumbs, mere peasants (Ha! Hahaha)
He's back check it!

The renaissance man, no gat in my hand
Episode numero uno check out the man
Spread a verse like a thesis or a virus
Open ya iris, nigga
I'm the individual you can't get rid of
Prominent aura, dominant moral, Islamic
Amazin' phenomenon like Halley's Comet
Ya gettin' headaches from this bullshit
I'm the anesthetic to cure shit
Fuck that cut-up shit! I be that pure shit
Expedition, thoughts are truck
My mind shine like rims, spinnin' thoughts


Bright as fuck!
Congruent like four sides of a square
I got a surprise in
'98 rappers better prepare! Timeless!
Take every letter from the word I
Ad-lib and put it together
That nigga OC's quite clever
Always and forever, no one can do it better
Fuck outta here
You faggot-ass motherfuckers!

Respect on the mic, we in this for life
For the street thug
To my brother with the same blood one love
Yo, sound off the twenty-one slug salute
Ways to display the truth
It's Pete Rock and OC it's on point, fella
Ain't nuthin' you can tell us word up!
For real, yo

Yo, I impact the earth like a meteorite
Magnetic the PR
OC experiment
Servin' justice when we bust this
Ya now instructed to thrust one
Fist in the air
Regulate the anthem for revolution
Prepare for the victorious comeback
Of the year assemble the militia
As I insert the scripture (Word)
Lyrics for the instrumental picture (Uh, huh)
Graphic in nature, respect mics I hold
Certified gold 500, 000 sold
News flash, yo it's Hip-Hop built to last
(Last)
Survivor of the aftermath when guns blast
Wavin' a white flag while you dressed in drag
(Word)
Remember what I keep in the trunk of my Jag'
Surprise, nigga! Respect due when I deliver
(Word, everything's real)

Respect on the mic, we in this for life
For the street thug
To my brother with the same blood one love
Yo, sound off the twenty-one slug salute
Ways to display the truth
It's Pete Rock and OC it's on point, fella
Ain't nuthin' you can tell us word up

Since day one, when I came up on the scene
For this mic I fiend
Respect played a part before the cream
I figure respect last longer 'cause
Cream come and go i done seen five to ten
Even fifteen a show and blew it
Now I know that my ill escape is real estate
No more will I make that mistake
Respect is what matter 'cause
That shit hold weight

Word up, ya gotta earn respect in '98
Rehabilitate the rap game, honor our name
Hold it down to the last frame
No doubt, emergency escape route
Take the easy way out
If that's what you about, if not
Then show ya heart
Create light from dark, all aboard the Ark
As the rain falls
(Uh, huh) , I reminisce on Biggie Smalls
And 2Pac, the new world is yours
So pause for the cause, respect due

Respect on the mic, we in this for life
For the street thug
To my brother with the same blood one love
Yo, sound off the twenty-one slug salute
Ways to display the truth
It's Pete Rock and OC it's on point fella
Ain't nuthin' you can tell us
So respect that

Respect on the mic, we in this for life
For the street thug
To my brother with the same blood one love
Yo, sound off the twenty-one slug salute
Ways to display the truth
It's Pete Rock and OC it's on point, fellas
Ain't nuthin' you can tell us
So respect that, dunn word up, for real
Peace
