Dead Certainty

Scritti Politti


RAPPER: Ha ha, Scritti Politti gettin' busy 
Most definitely Lee Majors with the flava 
Notify all your neighbours on ya pager 
We bustin' it down just this way 
From UK to the USA 
Whether you be at your work or play 
We bustin' it down for you y'all 
It's like this, like this y'all 

Come on, this one right here, it's for them knuckleheads who keep frontin' 

Thinking they know everything but they know nothing 
Step to the function, with the bass ackwards assumption 
That Mos Def and Lee Majors ain't sumpin' bumpin' (yeah come on) 
I know that look in your face, it's uncertainty 
You wanna dance and act hard, it's not working B 
Well who you herbin' be? You ain't serving me 
Well my crew got it hot like Mercury 

GREEN: I've got my suspicions 
They made your mind up 
(Your certainties are dead now) 
Too smart to be sure 
They made your mind up 
(Your certainties are dead uh) 
Too sure to be certain 
They made your mind up 
(Your certainties are dead) 
Too smart to be sure 
They made your mind up 
(Your certainties are dead now) 
I've got my suspicions 

RAPPER: You can't say you know rap if you don't know me 
An' don't say you know rhymes if you can't MC 
The only thing I know B, is that I'm living to die 
Slice the pie eighty ways and find ways to get by 
While the know it alls roam the street, knowing they lie 
I'm with the Scritti P O L I T T I 
Tryin' to fly like R Kelly in the belly of the beast 
Watch the know it alls blow it, all stuck in the streets 

Stay in your seats, I'm dead, certain this sounds sweet 
In a world where life's cheap, got to know where to sleep 
Knowing the creep and know who's really under your sheets 
And what you don't know just might hurt you, now that's deep 
Change position, some listen, some be slippin' 
Some trippin' and some of ya'll need ass whippin' 
For talking what you don't know, here's some advice 
The price for dead certainty, sometimes could be you life, like that 

GREEN: I've got my suspicions 
They made your mind up 
(Your certainties are dead now) 
Too smart to be sure 
They made your mind up 
(Your certainties are dead uh) 
Too sure to be certain 
They made your mind up 
(Your certainties are dead) 
Too smart to be sure 
They made your mind up 
(Your certainties are dead now) 
I've got my suspicions 

RAPPER: Some jokers can't take advice to save their life 
Try to shine some light makin' it tight like that alright 
In the trade of life they play the teacher, never students on the low-low 
The jokers don't know what they be doin' 
You confuse them with your ways an' acts and your disposition 
But be the first to talk about how other cats don't listen 
But that's you black, I'm speaking true fact, I seen you do that 
Somebody drop a gem and you be like "For real, I knew that" 

Save it, the entire approach is gettin' aged 
It's part the reason why your crew will not return your pages 
You're getting famous for being straight out shameless 
You enter nameless and exit like some entertainer 
You see that be that what there why I keep us talkin' 
Whatever, just long as you tell the story walking 
You want to be cerebral then use your cerebellum 
'Cause for real they don't know that you slow until you tell 'em 

GREEN: I've got my suspicions 
They made your mind up 
(Your certainties are dead now) 
Too smart to be sure 
They made your mind up 
(Your certainties are dead uh) 
Too sure to be certain 
They made your mind up 
(Your certainties are dead) 
Too smart to be sure 
They made your mind up 
(Your certainties are dead now) 

I've got my suspicions 
Make your mind up 
I've got my suspicions 
Make your mind up 
I've got my suspicions 
Make your mind up 
I've got my suspicions 
Make your mind up 

Sure I'm certain, I'm certain I'm sure 
I won't find what I'm searching for 
What you see from the grave to the cradle 
Sure I'm certain, I'm certain I'm sure 
I won't find what I'm searching for 
What you see from the grave to the cradle 

I've got my suspicions 
Make your mind up 
Make your mind up 
Make your mind up 

RAPPER: I've got my suspicions, yeah
