    [Sadat X]
    In the studio, on the first try
    On the verse high only birds fly
    You get out the pack like that y'all
    Straight off da head (what?), let niggas know I use to wear the pro
    Get three strikes yo, I used to have to court awarder
    but now I got a daughter and she gotta grow
    And I let her know that that ain't the way to go
    My name is X, yo I'm like a puzzle when I get released
    Just like I had my muzzle off, check it out yo
    I can never be sold
    You don't stop (and you don't quit) and you don't stop

    Keep on goin past Morris High School
    Then I go down the street to Courtland Ave.

    Over the bridge, on 45th to 8th Ave.
    Go to 7th Ave., go to Polo Grounds

    [Lord Jamar]
    Uhh, we're gonna show you how we live, take you straight across the bridge
    to Medina where the GODs is meaner, wisdom is cleaner
    Straight down on Flatbush Ave.
    Some of the streets in Brooklyn'll make you laugh
    Names like Myrtle and Willoughby
    Things like Scurmerhorn and Classun
    and funny names like that but still they got the gats rollin
    Just like that that's how we be strollin

    My head keep goin on
    Rob deep from mackadocious, your cut be close
    With the one blade, ever since the first grade
    I been a fan of the rap and I can do this
    I use to watch and listen, and watch the ol' time greats
    and watch em how they did things and I learned it well
    I rip in New Rochelle, that's where I dwell (Uhh)

    My man Serge got the urge to splurge, he came from Cleveland
    All the way from Ohio, he's gonna letcha know
    can you deal with his flow, yo yo?

    [Lord Jamar]
    Aiyo, peace to the GODs, peace to the Earth
    Peace to the birth of me and my seed Khari
    It's like that in effect one time, and I'm
    the black man, intelligent with the plan
    Islam be the bomb, droppin on the devils
    Goin to a higher level
    Peace to Farrakhan and the Nation like that
    Creation is black, one time, that's a fact
    Original solar, I'm Lord Jamar, yes I be the
    intelligent one, I be the sun shinin
    Like the light in the night, but still I be bright
    One time, now I recite the lessons for ya
    one time, messin for ya or
    check it out, without a doubt
    Peace to the GODs, sincere, makin it clear
    Peace to Tamiq, yeah that's the language we speak
    Peace to Knowledge, he didn't go to college
    but still he got the supreme mind
