On And On

Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth

[CL Smooth]



The nightcap was exiled steadily profiled



as the underachievin non believin can't stand to reason



Where's your daddy boy to categorize the drinker



Misunderstood to make the ordeal linger



They label me a problem child who can't cope



Hangin by a thread yes a very thin rope



Inevitably can never be the man can I tell ya



Visualize and memorize him in a cellar



Well tally ho, pip-pip, my fam's gonna catch a fit



My father lookin like he wanna bust my lip



But that was never good for my health



So I take the shovel out my pocket and dig myself



Now when I look at the man in the mirror



I see things much more clearer my Lord



I'm not that popular, less than a dollar



but the ? I pack can make you holla

I said, what you don't know could make a whole new world



Man.. listen! I'm set to sabotage premonition



Your propaganda, crooked type of version



Some of the things I bring, you're babblin non-person



Imbedded in my character, rebel nostalgia



Uncommon valor who'd rather



have no man-made religion or sect



But try to believe what you conceive may be half correct



I shed light, to show the path in sight



Cause a man who can't treat you right can't teach you right



In front of your eyes, what a surprise, and let the nature



rise, just for the girls and the guys



A Phi-Slamma-Jamma when you wear a bandanna



Peace to Pop Dukes, and long live Nana



The formula's reality, Pete Rock's the storm



Together, forever, yes G we got it goin on
