Pharoahe Monch - Official lyrics

Pharoahe's official like Starter
Hit harder than Fort Greene
Authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
Then hid it behind the back
Like making 'em all fiend
From my intricate ways to
Shake your whole team
Official, Starter hit harder than Fort Greene
No authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
Then hid it behind the back
Like making 'em all fiend
For my intricate ways to
Break your whole team

My style makes the crowd say, "Ow!"
Like number 55 on the Chargers
I promise thee
I dodge a nigga like Raul Mondesi
Sombrely stay calm, by any means like Natrone
The bomb like Hail Mary's
Inflated with napalm rap please, us
Deliver scriptures similar to Jesus
That you couldn't catch if
You was Ivan Rodriguez
So don't compete within the zone
Where the mind enters
I'm on the phone in the
Luxury box like George Steinbrenner
The owner, making you give your diamond
Back like Arizona
Winning, always Indian like Chief Noc-A-Homa
Sock a nigga in his face
Pharoahe's a sporting authority
Blacks attracted to my rap
Like dames to sororities
You already fucked up when you
Stepped up to bat
Strike (one) , strike (two) , strike (three) , that's that

Pharoahe's official like Starter
Hit harder than Fort Greene
Authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
Then hid it behind the back
Like making 'em all fiend
From my intricate ways to
Shake your whole team
Official, Starter hit harder than Fort Greene
No authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
Then hid it behind the back
Like making 'em all fiend
For my intricate ways to
Break your whole team

Yo, the realness stuck
Females 'blauch' my knob like Chuck
Dispense the standing eight count
Commence to rebound like Buck Williams
Triple Crown threat to score
Plus the bonus strange without the Rover
More range than Rey Ordonez one of the MC's
Flip my kind of grammar on the break
Three on one like Phi Slamma Jamma
Serve a slot
A curve-splitter-knuckleball-spitter-change
Every bitter rhyme hit a note, quote
"Get a game"
Not Allen Iverson, forget crossing over
Shake men similar to Troy
I bring the pain destined to ache men
Break men off, take men out
Make me wanna slander prime Time
My rhyme defense beyond Deion Sanders
I walk the earth with my
Rod in this strick land
Promise, people thought I was Thomas
Hearns the way I hit, man

Pharoahe's official like Starter
Hit harder than Fort Greene
Authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
Then hid it behind the back
Like making 'em all fiend
From my intricate ways to
Shake your whole team
Official, Starter hit harder than Fort Greene
No authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
Then hid it behind the back
Like making 'em all fiend
For my intricate ways to
Break your whole team official

Yeah, yeah, come on, come on
It's Lee Stone, Pharoahe Monch for real
With the official Hip Hop to kill
Know what's the deal, come on, check it
Yo, yo, yo

Pharoahe's official like Starter
Hit harder than Fort Greene
Authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
Then hid it behind the back
Like making 'em all fiend
From my intricate ways to-to-to-to, yo, yo
Official, Starter hit harder than Fort Greene
No authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
Then hid it behind the back
Like making 'em all fiend
For my intricate ways to-to-to-to

Yo, I stick around like hockey
Now what the puck? Cooler than fuck
Maneuver like Vancouver Canucks
In your speaker, destroy your woofer
Mids and tweeters not Wolverine but still I
Holds claws like Chamique
Waterboys get slaughtered automatic
Like Bobby Boucher
Push your wig back like Marv Albert's toupee
Blaze a trail like Portland on
A track that'll amaze ya
Omnipotent on the D like Clyde Frazier
Slide, phase ya, glide get off the, uh
I'm coming with the scatting
