Respect Mine

Pete Rock


featuring O.C.  

Verse One:  

The renassance man no gat in my hand  
Episode numero uno check out the man  
Spread a verse like a thesis or a virus  
Open the iris nigga I'm the individual you can't get rid of  
Prominent aura dominant moral islamic  
Amazing phenomenon like Haley's Comet  
Ya gettin headaches from this bullshit  
I'm the anisthetic to cure shit  
Fuck that cut up shit I be that pure shit  
Expedition thoughts are truck  
My mind shine like bins spinning thoughts  
Bright as fuck, congruent like four sides of a square  
I got a surprise in nine-eight, rappers better prepare  
Timeless take every letter from the word I adverb  
And put it together that nigga O.C.'s quite clever  
Always and forever no one can do it better  

Chorus:  

Respect on the mic we in this for life  
For the street thug to my brother with same blood  
One love yo sound off the twenty one slug salute  
Ways to display the truth  
It's Pete Rock and O.C.  
It's on point fella  
Ain't nothing you can tell us  
Word up  

Verse Two:  

Yo I impact the earth like a meteorite magnetic  
The P.R./O.C. experiment  
Serving justice when we bust this  
Ya now instructed to thrust one fist in the air  
Regulate the anthem for revolution prepare  
For the victorous comeback of the year  
Assemble the militia as insert the scripture  
Lyrics for the instrumental picture  
Graphic in nature respect mics I hold  
Certified gold five hundred thousand sold  
News flash yo it's hip-hop built ta last  
Survivor of the aftermath when guns blast  
Waving a white flag while you dressed in drag  
Remember what I keep in the trunk of my Jag  
Suprise nigga respect due when I deliver  

Chorus  

Verse Three:  

Since day one when I came upon the scene  
For this mic I fiend respect played a part before the cream  
I figure respect last longer because cream come and go  
I done seen five to ten and even fifteen a show and blew it  
Now I know now my ill escape is real estate  
No more will I make that mistake  
Respect is what matters cause that shit hold weight  

Word up ya gotta earn respect in ninety-eight  
Rehabilitate the rap game honor our name  
Hold it down to the last frame  
No doubt emergency escape route  
Take the easy way out if that's what you about  
If not then show ya heart  
Create light from dark all aboard the Ark  
As the rain falis I reminisce on Biggie Smalls  
And Tupac the new world is yours  
80 pause for the cause  
Repect due  

Chorus: repeat 2X
