Back To Basics Blu & Exile

[Verse 1: Blu]
Somebody asked me what exactly I'ma do for black music
Told them I'ma chop it up, loop and rap to it
I'm a conscious slash average black human
But see I'm from the street so you know I'm gonna keep that ass moving
I passed numerous tests without using a tech
A crack moving
A school of hard knocks grad student
Who you should respect, not 'cause crew sure connects
But 'cause I rap (?)
(?)
I put in work
(?)
I'm a vet like Pat Ewing
I blaze more Knicks than Reggie Miller
My kid's doing the same old shit
It never differ but I beg to differ
Fuck a pardon
I charge in the industry like a sergeant for pimping these artists
Leave the talking to the grown-ups
Regardless if you're, "So what? You sold out."
Trying to hold clout and hold bucks in the same game

[Hook: Sample]
So I say
No double checking vocals, dude
Vocals kill like weapons
Never, never, never, never
