LabORhood

Verse 1 Back up... One Be Lo was doin’ art for the love... Stick up... Plea bargains with judge... Don’t sleep, wake up... Smell the Star, to the Bucks Wise up Now it’s all profit, property, market and such... Pay up... Skills sharper than a dart in my clutch I aim High for the Bulls-eye, targets destruct Adrenalin startin’ to rush, like a car with a drunk I seen my door of opportunity was startin’ to shut I forced my way in, like Jedi’s...with Jabba the Hut Hut-Hut...Twenty yards, Steve Largent and cut... Had to leave alone “Phillies”, no more sparkin’ the blunts Now my game like “Barkley” with “Suns” Stars and above I’m a thoroughbred, emcee’s be talkin’ to us But you ain't sayin’ much, you mutts, you barkin’ with pups... I be sayin’ “What, the f#%k”... Pardon my cuss I leave better lines in heads, than barbers who cut Ahhs and oohs(ooze)... Sorta like when lava erupts... From the crowd, permanent smile, I’m carvin’ a pump...kin Somethin’ outta nuh-thin’, pockets with none... Now I know about the profit (Prophet) Ark and the Flood Other rappers make it rain for the stripper showin’ parts in the club... “Lo-Rain-a” make you “Bobb-it” and tuck In a photoshoot, all of’em Mug... Acting like they’ve been to the Core They’re barely even hard to the crust Sit you on the edge of the street... They pick you up like the garbage on trucks... I keep’em sittin’ on the edge of the seats... Like Rosa Parks on a bus Or see me in the Hood, sparkin’ the plugs... Animated like Curious George- Parliament funk Jumpin’ outta the trunk While you watchin’ car-tunes Saturday afternoon Outta ya bunk... Two different levels... Like bass and the trebel... Ya equalizers gotta adjust, now people turn it up!!! They ask me why I do this? I do this for- Love, Allah, Bills, Opportunities, Revolution For years people Land Agriculture, Beasts, Occupation, Resources Like Large animals Bovine, Obedient, Reliable Or like the little animals Locusts, Ants, Bee’s or Roaches This is Language Arts Based on Reality They say Lo Adventure’s Belong on Railroads Get it? tracks Legendary Acclaimed Beyond Ordinary Ranks Leader Among Billions of Rappers They want these Lyrical Abilities Blocked Over Radio Thats when I say, “Welcome to the Laborhood”
