This Is What I Do
(专辑: Last Of A Dying Breed, Pt II - 2013)
[Intro: AZ] Yes, yes, ladies and gentlemen I'll like to thank you for your support, love Not only to me, but to the
whole hip-hop industry itself We as a
whole, we've been weathering in the
Storm From the
start, 30-plus years ago to now But uh, like all weapons of hate, we perceiver So allow me to speak not only for me But on behalf of the
hip-hop coalition Every hood, every ghetto across the
United States of America [Verse 1: AZ] Yea, as a
younging I
was sittin' spitting sponge-ing Just learning the
life, and Christ second coming Well mannered and nice, got advice from women But when the
money get tight, the
stomach start grumbling It was some of then, wasn't all Hammers then Went in the
Benz, it was kingpin and bubbling We started huddling, putting in, and juggling A
shear later we straight, no more struggling But that was only the
start The
love between homey started falling apart I
guess anything's addictive when it's calling your heart Death and incarceration had us all in the
dark We was done, some'll say "we had a
beautiful run" And the
beauty is skin deep was beneath the
slums I
was numb, that was like speaking in tongues So relax, I
adapt within a
week I
was sprung Spoke facts on the
track, it's like squeezing a
gun No more crack, all the
boys on my back hearing "RUN" Yea, I
changed & came, all them years, on the
stairs G
Rap & Kane I
felt pain, them beamers still lurking my brain But the
ways is the
most high is to preserve to explain It was the
fame, that focused me, perfected my game And like that, there's so many others that this rap will remain And in exchange, we give fans the
force of the
reign To feed, nurture, and breed, and be the
voice of the
slain It's a
shame, but that real shit come wit the
life And in order to obtain you gotta sacrifice It's like cutting your bitch shorter, don't pass on fights I'ma tourer, so you know all my facts is right Plus my Aurora is like used spoilers on the
porch at night So be polite, just go for them critics that write This is Rap, we from the
hood, just trying to get a
slice Some'll bite, but the
most just coast wit ice And rock a
little chain, get a
little brain [Immediately changes to AZ talking] Ha ha-ha ha, yea, hey, it is what it is You know Rap has no rules See my enlightener he-he once told me once said "If there is no devilish-men, then there won't be Godliness" "One can't exist without the
other" Knaw'mean?, it's like a
Doctor is only needed to heal And he caters to the
sick, so the
sick must exist, ya heard? A
Minister he only gives sermon to uh you know Those seeking for forgiveness so them sinners must exist You know? it's simple simplistic, ha ha-ha ha It's AZ the
GOD Constantine Quiet Money for life This is What I
Do, I'm here
