The Fall And Rise Of Elliot Brown Blackalicious

[Part I]
"I mean um, I got years man, I go back, actually
I-I-I just got back to these streets man, this is home to me though
Y'mean, I was gone for a while, ten years to be exact
I lost my lights in the streets, y'know but for these streets, me and my dude
We got down and dirty for it, man, we did e'rythang, we took, nah'mean, to eat..
That's what it's about when I was comin' up in the 80s', everybody tried to eat man
And my way livin' to eat, man I gurped in theses streets
I grind, walked to these streets here, nah'mean?"

[Verse 1: Gift of Gab]
Got to get this bread
Got to get this dough, got to get these chips
Got to get these whips, and fits and -
Got to get real mean, got to get real clean
Got to get these fiends a fixin'
On a mission to get rich real quick use wit' no intermission
Got to live big, get big sittin' on them big {​​​?}​​​, so spendin' spendin'
Any witness get hit quick, this lick isn't never no kid shit
Not a picnic, flip bricks get rich, that's it
Big bills, just Ben's, no frills, just Benzes
Endless spendin' sprees
Limitless, BUILD IT UP TO THE MILLIONS
Then I can have things, like a new fly ring
And a new fly fling, I can do Irene, Darlene, Charlene
And Francine, even get inside Pam's jeans as clean as you ever did see
On the scene doin' real big things, as I PIMP this simple SYSTEM
Then I hear si-rens, and I see high beams
Now I am fly-in', but they're behind me
NOW I'm ON ONE KNEE, AND THE DOPE'S ON ME
NOW MY HOPE'S GONE SEE AND I LOST MY FREEDOM
LOCKED UP, SEE YA!!
