PRhyme - Black History lyrics
[PRhyme - Black History lyrics]
Soon as I was born
I knew I was due to do some damage
Came out the womb
Doctors passed me around the
Room and panicked four pounds, dark purple
Couldn't even breathe on my own
Shakin' baby in an incubator
Breathin' machine for my lungs
Doctor told my mom and pops they gon' have
To keep me for a couple months
Papa regretting doin' coke
Mama probably those couple blunts
Little did they know there was nothing to
Be ashamed of as long as we
Keep the unconditional love between us
I feel like the Mona Lisa
Hospital found out my pops had
A lapse in his insurance
I learned just how people are quick to turn
The doctor came back and said
"We're gon' release him"
That's the same thing in my first
Deal the label head said
Same as the judge after 365
Days in jail cells
You probably think my moms and
Pops ain't raise me well
Wait, please, I was hard headed
The only person who could get through
To me was maybe JAY-Z
They tried to give my autistic
Son medicine for ADHD
Same kid who could look at a
Piano and memorize all 88 keys
I learned everything I need to know
At day one in the hospital
They gonna doubt you, nigga
And you can't even pay no
One to care about you, nigga
As we proceed to give you what you need
My name is DJ Premier
I'd like to introduce to you AntMan Wonder
On behalf of Bad-Half Entertainment
And Works of Mart
PRhyme 2 is comin' (Comin', comin')
As we proceed to give you what you need
Y'all know what it is
We'd like to welcome you to another round
Of Hip-Hop in it's purest form
On behalf of Heaven Studios and
Works of Mart we comin' (Comin', comin')
1966, March 21st (Wooh)
In July 17th, '61 marks the birth
(Wooh) , the birth of two phenoms
I'm talking about Chris Edward Martin
And Keith Edward Elam (Okay)
This is for the real Gang Starr fans
Not the ones who call us P-Rhyme (Word)
One come from Massachusetts
The other from Texas
Had a dream to become the next shit
Filled up his whole truck trunk with records
And moved to New York
That's where Premier the god linked
With Guru the lord if ever duplicated
Hell froze and there was a
Blue moon before it (Preach)
And that shit birthed Group
Home Freddie Foxxx, inspired shit
Like Jay Z, Nas, BIG
I'm just comin' clean like the Jeru song
(Wooh) yo! MTV raps, Rakim in the back
Fab 5 Freddy in the
Hat interviewin' Chubb Rock
Pac in the cut with his boots and Juice on
(R-IP) pac still killin' to this day
Still the one they tryna be (Yup)
Y'all know I'm from Detroit, I'm
Diggin' in the crates
Now I'm from the diamond-D
I ain't wit the showbiz
I'm just AG tryna sign me a Fat Joe deal
And go and ball and every bitch
I got OT is on call (What's that?)
That's OC, bitch, I confess that I finesse
I smile at death like Malcolm
X, I'm solid, yes, in '99
I told myself, if I could figure
Out how to bottle that, i'd be out of debt
Y'all niggas is novices
Y'all can just move inside (Wooh)
I got that car pedestrian confidence, yessir
(Yessir) , I got that Uber Drive
Y'all wanna know who the best is? Look around
At who alive and who done died
(Then what?) Then look at me, Kendrick Lamar
And Pusha T em and the Slaughters
Y'all don't have to look any
Farther for the rhymers (Damn)
Y'all are the past, at the present time
I'm the future
'Cause all my competition tryna be designers
I'm just tired of being underrated
By these lazy bloggers
They just tired of re-rewindin'
Y'all tired of me saying I'm the greatest?
(Y'all tired yet?)
Fuck y'all, I'm tired of re-remindin' (Ha ha)
I survived Vietnam and my city
Laid me a grave
Preem laced me boom boom-God damn
With Lady of Rage
Since then I've been on my Jamie in "Ray"
Nobody seein' me (Uh, uh)
She douche, I give her dick she'll never
Forget, that's D and D, Preem, cut me!
"I " "I "
Come on back with me, this black history
"I'll be back, but for now, just "
Come on back with me, this black history
Premier's on the wheels, yeah
We makin' black history
"I'll be back, but for now, just "
Come on back with me, this
Textbook Big L and Pun
On the real to real that black history
I made up my mind
(Mind) , went to sleep dead (Dead)
That's in the past
I'm gon' wake up alive-live-live-live
We takin' over this shit this year! Preem
Cut me! "I'll be back, but for now, just "
Come on back with me, this black history
I knew I was due to do some damage
