One Time Skyzoo & Pete Rock (Ft. Raheem DeVaughn)

[Intro: Raheem DeVaughn]
One time
One time
One time for the block, one time for hip-hop
One time
One time for being black, from wherever you at
One time
One time for Skyzoo from the NYC
One time
One time for Pete Rock in the place to be
One time

[Verse 1]
One time for the time sticking beside me
Wouldn't count me out when it counted me in the lobby
Where counting will lead you into the fold like origami
It could've overlapped and then chose to au revoir me
Like yo, when you be talking bonjour to a Mazi
It seems to intervene and encores to a homi
Like anybody can get it so, nothing don't surprise me
'Cause anybody can get it so, hopefully you got me
Shout to Gates and Greene, in between's where you find me
And shout to Jamaica Queens, "Margherita's" is a body
Easier to spot me, but I ain't never mind so
I ain't step aside I just speak it in tsunamis
Pay me no never mind, I just stayed in the design
Until they was tryna trace me or pay me to oblige
Whole fist in the air not a shade was a mirage
And true to what you would hear I decorated the garage
I'm more Belafonte when it come to the front line
But still dressed in mortgage money
Like "what else you wanted from me?"
Except when they calling for me
They took in outta towners but couldn't take the corner from me
I took it to a five bedroom mini mansion in a cul de sac
Prestigious subdivision, I brought my son to that
Did it off of inspiring who ain't cut from that
Says a lot about you if you can't fuck with that
