[00:00.00]Ras G:
[00:23.06]Natty Dread like Bob so rock steady
[00:26.56]With no spaghetti with meat sauce
[00:28.38]Maybe salads with one toss
[00:29.59]No bread of the sorrow cause afraid to see tommorow
[00:32.16]It's religion never suspicious
[00:33.96]You're too delicious for the tongue
[00:35.65]See the lungs breathe a natural high
[00:38.06]Just like the *******rts that's so lovely
[00:39.66]So ask Marco Polo and I never go solo
[00:42.29]Cause I roll with the crew that keep the funk flows
[00:45.46]That make ya dance until the sisters take glance
[00:47.89]I hope you find romance....try your luck take a chance
[00:51.29]Til I enter like the Milton Plaza I'm the center
[00:54.16]Of it all, the ******' prince of the ball
[00:56.70]Standing six feet tall, that's a long way to fall
[00:59.56]But not worry, cause my vision ain't blurried

[01:10.42]What's the flavour of the rules they mandate
[01:12.77]The climbin' gets hotter as the city gets smarter ( ? )
[01:16.12]A million one catch they tryin' to earn top dollar
[01:18.91]Half that mill, they straight out to kill
[01:21.30]I'm cultivated and destined to act real ill
[01:23.92]Black let up in the things of five burroughs of pain
[01:26.71]Only reason why the east and the west it ain't the same
[01:29.59]I'm twenty-something years of age and life surely ain't about hand-outs
[01:33.36]So I lace my plan out, hard work is levicated to an encore survival
[01:37.60]Considergize less and from conception to arrival
[01:40.46]Now that I'm here my fear shall decrease
[01:43.00]Learn about life makin' my way to the east

[02:18.90]Dissention among the ranks
[02:20.61]I'm givin' thanks to the most high for plantin' me firm
[02:23.30]Upon this world that's forever changin'
[02:25.18]The conflict that I'm engagin'
[02:26.75]The concert with amiss communication
