The Format

Lyrics

[Produced by DJ Premier] [Intro] AZ I'm ready... [Verse 1] You know the chronicles, the shit that if mama knew The stress the drama do, the TEC's phenomenal Rapid fire, it pecks through the abdominal You bastard liars, it's me who's the honorable Bathed and clothed up, shaved and close-cut Restraint from temptation was drained from both nuts Heh, now in the physical form Verbalize through the scriptures, I was Biblically born It's I'ah, Jeremiah, conceived through the blunt fire On Kawasaki's, can wheelie up on one tire Well respected, jail connected Got the method for them pretty females perfected For sure, very few flaws, heavy Chevy two-doors Candy paint, it'll give a nigga the blue balls Pause... this the life I chose Done did the 360, the cypher's closed C'mon! [Hook: Scratching by DJ Premier] The format is real sickenin', contagious Here I come, AZ, there you go Still I don't have to run no game, I done those things [Verse 2] Young and gifted, my tongue's prolific In the beach bungalow is how I brung in Christmas For the streets I'ma flow from the hungriest districts Swiss kicks, crisp when I come to them picnics Play slow, paper chase, stack and lay low Range Rove' tinted, all black, the same old Psychic mind, righteous rhymes Done turned a new leaf from my life of crime No concerns with new beef, who's as nice as I'm? It's confirmed, from few feet I'm still a sniper blind Built my fame, spilt my pain Politickin' daily, still tryin' to milk the game It's obvious that I'm real, rap skills remain I took some change and I'm still the same [Hook: Scratching by DJ Premier] The format is real sickenin', contagious Here I come, AZ, there you go Still I don't have to run no game, I done those things [Verse 3] Learnt the system, burned some izm Jotted my jewels down like journalism How I maneuve now, it'll merge the wisdom A pilgrim, prophesize, puttin' words to rhythm Relatin', I Adam Clayton it, manifestation, patient Meditatin' with them animals waitin' Pacin' like an inmate that sealed his fate Let some years escape, but I'm still in shape I'm chillin', deeply rooted, a beast with music From Bed-Stuy to the East, I'm too at peace to lose it But love it, I still does it, breathin' off a Trump budget Fresh out of Bloomies with the Louis luggage [Hook: Scratching by DJ Premier] The format is real sickenin', contagious Here I come, AZ Here you go, how we get down The format is real sickening, contagious Here I come, AZ Here you go, how we get down AZ Here I come, AZ Here I come, AZ Here I come, AZ Here I come, here we go How we get down Here I come, here you go Here I come, AZ Here I come Here I come
