The Beat Change Lyrics

[Sadat X]

Somebody went gold in the Billboard, it was a X, but it was Mia

Young boys ran to me in the local pizzeria

He said,  "You Jamar and Haji man y'all hot to death.

Can y'all save what's left, or at least make a claim?"

Shorty remind me of myself when I started in this game

and through years I'm basically the same, as are my brothers

I'm the eight track flashback before the days of crack

Is it real or an act, fuck it, let's save the kids

Yeah you all about war, why you tryin to die for?

Yeah them niggaz real raw but you sleepin on the floor

Yeah I walk through the Valley with my man Spark and Allie

Days of money, in Harlem Week '85

with the Captain's hats, and my father's old guns

Before I had a daughter, and before they had sons

I stay the hypnotizer, style's a tranquilizer

Got you feelin all loose, wettin up the goose

The great Datty X and I'm hear to say

You can always find me around the way



[Lord Jamar]

Uhh, I be that kid with the dreads that remember

when I hid from the Feds, plus I always did what I said

I was gonna do, talk shit, right in front of you

Never forfeit, on top, we do it non stop

Remember when we let the bomb drop

with more jewels than a pawn shop from the school 

of the hard knocks, straight off the Now Rule block

Powerful aftershocks with the strength of Master locks

We got you in a paradox, between a rock and a hard place

We got the hard bass

And erybody's gon' get a taste, get your plate

First we had to let it marinate, now we straight, uhh

Five mics is how we rate, stand with us

And stand amongst the likes of the great scandalous

Cats, try they best to decipher the tape

What we manifest still gets blessed in every state



[Grand Puba]

Hey listen here dog a nigga keep it spicy hot

Rhyme flow stay straighter than six o'clock

Hustle rhymes like a nigga hustle shit on the block

The shit is work and got a 4.6 in the lot

I hustle knowledge, charge tuition like a college

My wisdom hold me down in town like Jackie Brown

I teach _Dangerous Minds_, like that chick Michelle Pfeffeir

That's why the Gods check got at least 6 cypher

My Justice Cypher Born, I ain't no helpless type nigga

like a gat without a trigga I got the figure to make figures

For years I've been doin this thing I do

Since Ralph McDaniel's video show was on channel U

Station 31, vice grip channel changer son

The show was the banger, came in clear with a hanger

Top notch status watch the God get it flamin

Herbal with the verbal, drop top twin turbo

Blazin for the year, born build to 2 G's

Flow like these, help the God stack cheese

Summer Jet-Ski, trunk with TV's

Sittin under tropic trees with iced teas

Mind stay positive black, guaranteed

to grab the top dollar, more pull than the Rottweiler
