Intro - Stakes Is High Lyrics

    (when i)
    (first heard)
    (criminal)
    (minded)
    (i was in...)
    (damn, where was i?)
    (...seventh grade)
    (battlin' this other emcee)
    (smokin' a blunt and drinkin' a 40 down lower east side with my niggas)
    (i have no idea where i was, it was so long ago)
    (i was on my way to a family reunion in a car on the long island
    Expressway when i heard it)
    (rooselvelt projects)
    (i was in...)
    (i was outside of church when i was really little and i was doing the
    Wop with this girl)
    (red alert played one of the songs on the radio)
    (it was so long ago)
    (yo merce, what's up, this is hanson, man, i want you to peep that out.
    Yo, kid... i was at this party, this hype
    Party when i heard
    Krs' criminal minded. i'll call you back, peace.)

    (all right!)
    (all right!)
    (all right!)
    (all right!)

    Pos:
    Channeling, in sync so my what brings that testament
    To cover twelve inches of funk
    Flip like as if i was the dalek himself
    Specialising in cleansing like the its of
    Elephants, dove hits bibles out the park, man
    Don't wven try to toss bleach, i'm too dark and
    Major more soul than james' "escapism"
    De la soul is here to stay like racism
    Patrick know and i'mma put the pillow off the bed
    As i lurk up on your thoughts while phones on your head
    Riff a tech pro, flex sue, running you the links
    Scout weather, pouring rain outta duck's survive links
    And if one winks for pink slips, the slips are short
    Dull-minded as sperm, to give out for the souls i report
    I sport too fly for the forty-ounce drinker
    I sport too fly for a forty-ounce thinker
    A fresh linen scent so sniffer on the two-inch
    A talker of the berg without weed influence
    So stick to you naughty by natures and your kane
    'cause graffiti that i based upn the wax is insane

    Dove:
    Grand groove, i wish i had the flavor bid
    Give me six bottles of beer, i take the seventh one free
    I got the chandelier, kick, constructed by my man
    Little elf, big four gets the zootie for the self
    Long island living, what, twelve o'clock dawn
    Jiggy-not see me so i trip straight to your porches
    Mr partymaker puts the boogers in your bottle
    Straw it and drink, what bees gotta be's
    'cause i snort the crazy-crazies
    Man, i kick the franken-style, dig the bolts in my neck
    Wreck, ship, boat, rock
    Heavy metal grooves ain't the infinite
    Here i hips to the hops
    I'm looking for the words in the faces of a prince
    That brother been down ever since soaked cheese
    And motor go smiling
    Hey, how ya doin'
    Now, meet in front of big lou's fighting
    Hey, y'all reminisce, six streets, little miles
    Straight to my avenue
    (aaaah... aaaggh)
    Six streets, went miles straight to my avenue
    I'm headed for the bigger e, for the bitter oe, not me
    Here's my malibu, child, here's my malibu
    Buckshot honeys, dig a gun and go aaaahhhhh...
