[Intro: Phonte] Yeah, y'all know what it is man. Kev Brown Tryin' to get this nigga to finish the album Hell, at least start the motherfucker You know what I'm sayin'? Drove all the way up from North Carolina to do a lil' somethin' I'm gonna give it to 'em like this yo Check it, check it, check it [Verse 1: Phonte] Even though they try to hate and defile us They could never stop Tay from being the foulest New Jack Swingin' I break it down like Cal West Y'all be all be sure to put your doe where your mouth is And cop everything we come out with Cause Kev's beats turnin', my rhymes burn like Auschwitz Niggas had their eye on Phonte from the outset Cause I keep things simple and plain/plane like SouthWest On to higher heights Put the mic down, nigga, this is my advice Cause Tay make the crowd say "Ho" like Heidi Fleiss Hands in the air and Sonin' these niggas that makes me apparent Four years ago, my girl made me a parent Four years later, Kev's beats we be sharin' Goin' back in forth in the car straight illin' And they say I'm raisin' hell, I just call him Dillon And right now I'm chillin' in Kev's crib Y'all know who the best is When he drop the beat and it bangs Drove up 95 with sixteen of them thangs And I'm out till y'all see me again It's Phontigga c'mon [Hook: Kev Brown] 24-7, 365 I bring it to you live whenever we arrive That's right, right, it's about that time To get in the state of mind with beats and rhymes [Verse 2: Kev Brown] Action packed Hit 'em with the high dosage Deliver the rap postage Got it sewn up with no stitch It's the regular thing Cell phone got the regular ring Name got prominence Write bars like alcoholics, check out the audience Old school, sometimes I'm anti-social And won't speak, stay cooler than Cochise Drop poems over the beats to hold the streets Comin' around Constant, touchdown like offense Under my cleats is where the comp is Swarmin', either on stage or recordin' And crossin' my path is where you lose your fortune [Hook: Kev Brown] 24-7, 365 I bring it to you live whenever we arrive That's right, right, it's about that time To get in the state of mind with beats and rhymes again [Verse 3: Oddisee] How I do it is raw How I do it is fresh How I do it to death Y'all niggas ain't fluent in pursuing these checks O on the road to riches and won't slow down for bitches See, I'm programmed for business with no glitches So I won't get frozen, hold position With flows that'll go the distance So when I speak, y'all supposed to listen Like I'm the teach in a class of my own, like I'm slow, I'm kiddin' But on some real shit Oddisee means journey so when I rap y'all niggas on some field trips Welcome to the nation's capitol Greater Washington, my nigga, yeah we after loot If you talk about rap music around here and our names ain't in it Then you really ain't in attendance So quit pretendin' Yo Kev, tell 'em thank me cause they style been invented Low Budget forever in it And I'm out
