Eye of the Storm

Lyrics

[Intro -- voice samples] It's like two thousand and something You know what I mean? [?] I think like, if I rock it [?] [Verse 1] Yo, my enemies are gonna' always talk But when the mics on they couldn't bust grape and welch's backyard with spikes on I said "Buenos noches," but they ran like roaches with the lights on Better dust yourself off 'fore you step off in my strike zone Matter of fact, gimme' your keys Ya'll MC's are gonna' have to hike home Ali move like a python and strike like Mike Tyson I run up in your cipher spinnin' hyper than a cyclone With the right poem to leave your eardrums twice blown Nice goin' The way I push it way back Ya'll might get struck by stray facts and come clean like Ajax With the way that I say that ya may tap, your mans back Besides ya'll should break camp before ya'll get ransacked Now stand back I blow the tops off MC's To get my rocks off with ease Let some shots off in the breeze Figuratively speakin' you're on thin ice With no motivation or appreciation for life And like my man [?] said "these words are always rhyme, I just happen to be the one puttin' 'em together this time" And I'm aware that ya'll expect to hear some Power packs are why [?] tracks put our city on the map [Chorus] The eye of the storm is where I operate I'm surrounded by chaos but I concentrate As I- as I keep the focus things'll never be hopeless Cuz' the eye of the storm is where I op [Verse 2] Yo, I push the god knowledge inside of them Clean up the messes Style impresses cuz' it's tighter than Big lessons dresses [?] Use my knowledge as my vitamins I'm on [?] professes Ali's known for makin' them educated guesses The puzzle solver walkin' the streets with no revolver To ya' [?] From emotional waters 'fore they disolve ya' You'll never be complete until your soul is at peace And the environment'll make you a beast out on these streets I hate the term playa hater I'm an imitator hater Cuz' this world can be a very cold place of innovators So I slay the average rapper and the average rap producer I tell you like them Puerto Rican girls say, "no me gusta" So I use the peace keepin' skills That's my thesis When I die I'm tryin' to rest in peace Not rest in pieces I know I'm not Jesus but I teach with parables And leave freaks hysterical Even my life's a miracle [Chorus] In the eye of the storm is where I operate I'm surrounded by chaos but I concentrate As I- as I keep the focus things'll never be hopeless Cuz' the eye of the storm is where I op [Verse 3] You wanna' live on this Earth young minds, stick with me We'll change our sloppy graffiti into refined caligraphy Evolve our beat boxin' into a fine symphony And change our cloudy thinkin' to a new epiphany Achieve [?] Solvin' mysteries Helpin' sisters be dignified the way Allah created them to be So while the average rapper sits back and jacks his jaws I try to manage my affairs and give you some advice for yours Now boys Think about my language and the things I do I seek to express me, and not to impress you And yes it's true my whole crew is always tryin' to increase But when Ali's over the beats forget about it, capish? I teach for the universal but first of all for the streets Cuz' it's the young [?] header rude boy I'm tryin' to reach I say peace cuz' I gotta finish up before dawn It won't be long and we've already reached the eye of the storm [Chorus] The eye of the storm is where I operate I'm surrounded by chaos but I concentrate As I keep the focus things'll never be hopeless Cuz' the eye of the storm is where I op [Outro -- voice samples] Just- just some thoughts for the mind Just- just- just some thoughts- thoughts for the mind Just- just some thoughts for the mind Just- just- just some thoughts for the mind Ain't too much more I can do with it
