Artist: Edo.G & Pete Rock Album: My Own Worst Enemy Song: School 'Em Typed by: kirenamloh@msn.com [Intro: Pete Rock cuts and scratches] "All my niggaz across the sea and the Earth" <- Busta Rhymes "I weather the storm" <- Edo.G "Trust me, I'm as live as it gets" <- Royce Da 5'9" "Roxbury, keep it real with 'em" <- Edo.G "Edo.G" "All my niggaz across the sea and the Earth" <- Busta Rhymes "I'm too strong" "Edo.G be #1" "Trust me, I'm as live as it gets" <- Royce Da 5'9" "Roxbury, keep it real with 'em" <- Edo.G "Edo.G be number one" [Edo.G] I break away from the norm, cause it's too cliché Remain conscious of the kids, the words we say Words we play midway through the midday And the image gets embedded of what we portray In the game, there ain't no fair play It's all about the green in a fair way, there ain't a fair way! You loc'd up like a ese, the best way Stop writin rhymes, start writin essays Cause long gone are your best days Count your blessed days, we look ahead to them next days I went from Humboldt hallways, stairways Buses and subways, to two shady Chevrolets You want the meaning of hard days? Special Teamz will slide down your ice like bobsleighs Remember your last days When your flame get put out, like Ls' in ash trays [Chorus: Pete Rock] Yo, it's Edo.G and Special Teamz rulin We speak to the young'n, old timers school 'em We move through the industry like rats pursuing Cheese that we made comes from what we do, kid High rollin through your hood, speak to them young bucks That's wassup, grindin, everything rhymin And teach what had not been taught, take 'em to school Break them industry rules, take 'em to school [Edo.G] I got an updated résumé, to wet emcees like a stowaway Rap book throwaway, team get blown away Payola, in radio overplay We overlay, your whole public exposé Labels can't serenade, the ready-made rap renegade Who unafraid, to be the nicest, and underpaid How many times "I Got to Have It" got remade? Your beats wack, get it relaid I hope this message is relayed We never count what we made 'til labels is repaid Cause every minute is pre-paid I throw beef into marinade, watch it get sautéed I'm unswayed by the industry's masquerade School young niggaz without the financial aid And my crusade, for every black man to be paid and be self-made [Chorus] [Outro: Pete Rock cuts and scratches] "All my niggaz across the sea and the Earth" <- Busta Rhymes "I weather the storm" <- Edo.G "Trust me, I'm as live as it gets" <- Royce Da 5'9" "Roxbury, keep it real with 'em" <- Edo.G "Edo.G" "All my niggaz across the sea and the Earth" <- Busta Rhymes "I'm too strong" "Edo.G be #1" "Trust me, I'm as live as it gets" <- Royce Da 5'9" "Roxbury, keep it real with 'em" <- Edo.G "Edo.G be number one"
