Raisin' the Stakes

Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey

Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey

We started from hooligans with brothers that shoot at jobs

Take it back around the way trying to build a future form

Our peoples are still lost get through no matter 'cause

We run it out of town but you still wanna floss

Not because you getting money, don't mean you better off

Can't join that late nights, now take that Gucci sweater off

Too heavy for rap, have to take a slight measure off

Spin that George broth back, you in that white colored cloth

Like Oliver North, my fate detected

My feelings is forced, bullets get ejected

Mothers scream into ours, I've been through the force

Sauteed rappers with sauce and mix them up with tofu

And no beef of course when I say give me some room

And I mean a loft big bitching too fast scenery from the boys

Greenery live with the torch, a bad piece hitting New York

You can't listen if you know that you're soft, jump on the stage

Chain rattling, the lance is street haggling

Underground scriptures thrown at you like a javeling

Tone of my voice unraveling, they fall in about

As quick as you know time is traveling

Can't you imagine that you see me every day on the streets

From crown heights to castle in the comfort castle back into my own speech

Mozambique, the time in Cologne that flavors have flown

Earn a few shillings then I'm heading back home setting the tone

And raising the stakes, and rhyming the breaks

High school flows giving rappers the shakes

On the corner posted up, henesy styrofoam cups

Man we still living it's surprising like what

Bring on the skeptics, let them know ten years fully vested

Been down like Amadeus blend the eclectic

Respected like the full pound

It's like Horatio girl you gotta love the way it's going down

Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey

Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey

Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey

Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey
