Pete Rock, C.L. Smooth - Return of the Mecca lyrics

To know the truth is to know the self
To know the self is to know the Mecca
Mecca's not a state of mind or a place
Mecca is a way of life
It is the answer to all confusion
The attribute adofo Abdullah Muhammad
Makes way for the return of the Mecca salaam

Return of the Mecca

Be sure to explore the hardcore
That came before Columbus
Discover no other serve the soul on a dish
Okay means official kid, not decrepit though
The lyrical dynamo set the flow when I do so
Entice the price with the mic device
Hit ya slice so precise that
You never hurt twice
Fierce how I pierce when
You near the frontier
A world premiere so put the
Armor on your gear
The overlord aboard with the two-edged sword
Adored and restored, now the young gun toward
Preserve the herb, never kick it to the curb
Vocalize a verb, and the return of the word
Mecca, the reincarnated selector
From the whole agenda, something to remember
A richer voice than Robin Leach
I'll reach with a speech
No bleach so you can't impeach
Monumentally smooth, I'll prove it sincerely
To barely when you're near me
Clearly never sound weary
Maintain the gravity, assault and battery
So sweet the repeat you're bound
To catch a cavity
My ability to wreck a facility
CL's potential, smooth and sequential
Deep in every measure
Hit the lotto for the beggar
The midnight wrecker, return of the Mecca

Overstand the Mecca in command
Part of the plan is the man
Who built the land he began
A scripture ripped out the piece of a scroll
Better the know yes, a foretold
The beautiful and bold
Start em in Harlem with the motto, the Apollo
Boogie to me
I'll swallow hollow when you follow
Stable like a turntable, lyrics I cradle
No fable
Label or run my tongue around your navel
You're coming to me so
Therefore the program's Mecca
The silhouette, a weirder fella
Darker than vanilla
Talking about the theoretical, isometrical
Alphabetical rebel, a dissect-the-devil
Unveil a tale in detail, the third rail
Read it in braille
A bigger male leave a trail
Now I sink into the link
That'll make you think
You's too large to shrink, I need a drink
And toast to emperor, Mecca said to invent
To know of a child
Worth your while so surrender
And never to be lobotomized
The flexin' of the stanza
But you know the answer when
I drop a proper grammar
Tabasco, the Late Show, flow to make a peso
I manage to do damage so honey, get Macco
Risen from the prison, the division
Black and Decker strictly for your pleasure
Return of the Mecca

OD off the black Baryshnikov
Taking it up north, back and forth
Never been soft
Bound to see me swollen like a Beethoven
Listen wide open, never toking
Do or die's my slogan
Save the sarcasm, I'll hit you like a orgasm
Back off of that and maybe
Later let you pat em
Necessary for any adversary to worry
The legendary, primary, never secondary
Dip in Peru, overdue in Honolulu
Now if you knew the preview
Could bubble like shampoo
Outclass the mass so we'll
Look in the hourglass
No time to waste for those in contrast
Like the New York Philharmonic
Sent to blow melodic
With the logic I hear like a narcotic
Put your best to rest
So get your bulletproof vest
I got the wild, wild west to your chest
You know the cause of death
So forget the autopsy
Another got sloppy so I lit it in poppy
Smooth as Peabo, with dough like Lillo
For the grand finale I slip on like a Bally
CL and PR, categorizing we are
The soul brother, Mecca lover, funky by far
The classic fantastic, rip it like elastic
Here to get drastic, return of the Mecca
