Lyrics

[Verse 1: J. Sands] Yo, from Pittsburgh to Pilón, this type shit we be on When we on inside a cassette deck of your Neon Or in your Navigator whippin' with the CD on Lone Catalysts, rockin' to the break d-awn Make a sucker new jack be gone He kick his shit, I be like: "Yo, you puttin' me on?" "You wanna battle?!" Out to Rawls, "Pick me a beat to freak on Somethin' with a lotta bass and some highs that tweet on The drums," I give it a run, you know, turn the heat on Up in the kitchen, then your deletion Will put me in a top position, J. Sands dishin' No look, like Ron Strickland Make the average MC contemplate just sittin' Down, the wax spin like merry-go-round While I format the verbs and nouns through underground Now what you're lookin' for, you have found So now, bump to the sound, properly laid and mixed down By no other than my brother, although from different mother J. Rawls with Sands on the mic, so take cover The sound makes you bounce like Flubber Ludacris, Danny Glover Lethal with Weapons, so while you're checkin'– [Hook: Rubix & Talib Kweli] Due process, payin' these dues, battlin' crews At the same time, livin' in life, givin' enlightenment Seeing-eye for the blind Through the darkness of the industry, we ministry Due process, payin' these dues, battlin' crews At the same time, livin' in life, givin' enlightenment Seeing-eye for the blind Through the darkness of the industry, we ministry [Verse 2: Talib Kweli, (J Sands)] I go on like et cetera (Go on...)

Due process, you got blessed by the best of the population Word to Black Shawn, I'll Chuck D your whole operation And "Shut It Down," cut it down like rain forests You see Talib Kweli when you look up "the illest" in the thesaurus I'm the definition of special edition with rack-and-pinion steering To make my handlin' more smooth than aloe and lanolin (Smooth) "Manifesto"-spittin, my stiletto's hittin On a ghetto mission to keep it fabulous, like a Lone Catalysts composition [Hook: Rubix & Talib Kweli] Due process, payin' these dues, battlin' crews At the same time, livin' in life, givin' enlightenment Seeing-eye for the blind Through the darkness of the industry, we ministry Due process, payin' these dues, battlin' crews At the same time, livin' in life, givin' enlightenment Seeing-eye for the blind Through the darkness of the industry, we ministry (Yeah!) [Verse 3: Rubix] On a level of metaphors with lives, life seems to depreciate Like automobiles from its original state I'm Interboroughs, with registrated plates, pushin' the weight of my spirit Passin' the limit of speed, rhymes per minute Cerebral engine is infinite Class, the third eye high beams illuminates the distance The pressure on pedals accelerates, racin' the currents of winds Makin' the intangible bend With aerodynamics and panoramic visionin' I see the world we livin' in Five gallons of knowledge, a tank full, filled with lessons My temperature guage measures all of the blessings For the miles I'm stretchin' Passin' what is hot and what you got, for all you cats on the list Cause us to be the Catalysts Of a new era, correctin' errors Learn to love it or leave it alone Recitin' these Nubian poems From NYC to ATL, we got continuous flows [Hook: Rubix & Talib Kweli] Due process, payin' these dues, battlin' crews At the same time, livin' in life, givin' enlightenment Seeing-eye for the blind Through the darkness of the industry, we ministry Due process, payin' these dues, battlin' crews At the same time, livin' in life, givin' enlightenment Seeing-eye for the blind Through the darkness of the industry, we ministry Due process, payin' these dues, battlin' crews At the same time, livin' in life, givin' enlightenment Seeing-eye for the blind Through the darkness of the industry, we ministry Due process, payin' these dues, battlin' crews At the same time, livin' in life, givin' enlightenment Seeing-eye for the blind Through the darkness of the industry, we ministry Due process, payin' these dues, battlin' crews At the same time, livin' in life, givin' enlightenment Seeing-eye for the blind...
