Pete Rock Lyrics

I travel the land with the SP in my hand
I carry my SP everywhere I go.

Rock from New York, London and Japan
I am a well-known musician in various countries.

It`s time to take command expand to higher lands
It's time for me to take control and expand my reach.

P.H. the next man not in da plans
I am not planning to involve P.H. in my future plans.

I`m dead serious like as in response I hit niggaz in the head
I'm extremely serious, and if provoked, I'll fight back physically.

P.R. the thoroughbred comes through intellectual
I am a thoroughbred musician and approach music intellectually.

I rap lyrical, always on da humble and sometimes I`m spiritual
I rap with lyricism and humbleness, and sometimes incorporate spiritual themes.

Hands down accept any mans challenge
I am confident and ready to accept any challenge.

I strive and keep the competition off balance
I work hard and aim to outshine my competition.

Da fruits of my talent is this it`s simple
My hard work and talent are the results that you see today.

I drop science on the instrumental
I incorporate science and technical skill in my music.

I take seven ill drums put `em in a line
I use seven drums and line them up to create a beat.

And add seven more snares to make it combine
I add seven more snare drums to create a harmony.

It`ll take seven more horns before I start to rhyme
I use seven more horns before I begin rapping.

Now that twenty-one beats made up at the same time
I have combined the instruments to create a beat with 21 sounds.

I was bound ta shine haters get left behind
I am destined to succeed, and my haters will be left behind.

Ain`t no time for them, stamp my name on rap
I don't have time for haters, and I have made a name for myself in rap music.

Perhaps you hear da words from pay next sequel

I am making a comeback after ten years as a pioneering musician.

I am making up for the successes and failures in my career.

Stop the small talk my focus remains clear
I am focused and want to avoid small talk.

Should have won a Nobel prize for thoughts and ideas
My ideas and thoughts are worthy of a Nobel Prize.

Critically acclaimed while some of y`all cats in tha game for fame
I have achieved critical acclaim while some others are only in the game for fame.

Fame lives in my name Pete Rock it`s simple and plain
My name is famous and my achievements speak for themselves.

I am warning others that I will soon start to assert my authority.

You can tell that I still have passion for my music by the way I make it.

Full swing introduce the ninety-eight product
I am introducing my new, great product in full swing in 1998.

Niggaz talk the gossip but they ain`t got shit
Others may gossip, but they have nothing substantial to say.

I`m number one
I am still the best.

This song is dedicated to fellow musicians.

Unlock real hip-hop, Rock holds the key
I have the key to unlock real hip-hop music.

Magnificent ya style is irrelevant
No matter how good your style is, it is not relevant if you don't have the key.

I`ll flip the bass and erase any trace of sample evidence
I am skilled and can change the bass sound to the point where it is no longer recognizable as a sample.

Trust a few men within this circle of thieves
I only trust a few people in this industry filled with thieves.

Earned every stripe on my sleeve
I have worked hard and earned all of my achievements.
