Strive to Be

Lyrics

[Intro] Yo man, I don't know why everybody tryna diss our boys ABC We ain't havin' it in ninety-three 'Cause I gots mine ABC gots theirs And you got yours, man Just be yourself, man Yo, sometimes it be's like that Word! [Verse 1] First of all (Another Bad Creation) Is catchin' mad wreck from all (What?) Excelleration (Now you go, boy!) I strive the hardest To be the smartest Ya better believe we're one of the baddest baby artists (So what's next on the agenda?) Sucka surrender (Wait) Don't you see who's in the center? (Just remember) (Yo, how we doin' this?) We doin' this as the ruggedest This wickedest The craziest crew ya ever saw (And you're sure to get the war) Give them all realistic as I get little more specific It's the vibe that got me open and got me feelin' mad terrific Always strive to have (Fun) I always strive to do what I gotta do Representin' (ABC) My whole entire crew will always strive to give a smash hit Yeah kid, you know the flava! You know we got the (Shhhhh) See, this year we're gonna be outta there Rippin' all the tours I'm gettin' mine (So get yours!) 'Cause there's no need for me to Man all these wack people comin' out And they don't realize that they fallin' off quick, man And we ain't even havin' it [Verse 2] Second of all I don't gotta strive to be like anybody (Why?) Because we're sure to damage and represent at any party Bet that we'll make 'em move around! And ya know we makin' em (Get down) (Ugh!) To another bad created sound Ridiculous (?) on the attack Oh yeah, and as a matter of fact We strive to come at and exact Ya better believe it, black Ya know it's time for you to pursue your every intention With more aggression, we strive to make a strong impression With the love of all our crew Yo, we strive to stay on track Yo, how we doin' that? (You know we always got eachother's back!) Ever since the happenin' of my birth, yeah I had to show the Earth exactly what my music's worth We keep it comin' as the nicest And the flavor that is spiceless We keep it hot, but the (?) is priceless Ya best bet is to strive to be yourself 'Cause you might even find yourself Choppin' up all by yourself, so never You gotta strive to be yourself, first Then you gotta strive to express yourself, second And most important, you gotta strive to be all you can be in ninety-three 'Cause ABC ain't havin' it Chronic ain't havin' it And none of it is havin' it in ninety-three Word up, boy. Yeah All these people dissin' us Man, we ain't havin' it [Verse 3] Third of all I give my everything I give my all so you can feel just what I feel That's when we can have a ball (Yes, yes, y'all!) Don't you know who caught the fever Like an open wide receiver (Woo) Mr. Non-Believer gettin' cut off like a Caesar Everytime I say it That you gotta do what ya gotta do That's how we play it (Alllllright) You gotta strive to be the best And get that stress up off yo chest You know exactly Who we are So don't you dare try to test! (Yes) For every funk music is the mighty God Bless finesse the feelin' of the rugged till it's time to take a rest Ayo, persistence always help me go the distance That's right, money grip I bet the world could see the difference What kinda difference? The one particular difference Of me being original Out there copy-catting from another individual Trying to collect upon another man's residual You got some nerveeeee! You need to catch the worst physical (Beatdown) While you hidin' And ya slippin' and ya slidin' I'mma catch ya, so ya never have to I hope that sums it up in ninety-three Strive to be all you will be 'Cause it be's like that in ninety-three Another track of ABC and Busta Rhymes smack ya back production This is Chronic Peace and we outta here
