[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]
