Hip Hop Essentials
Rasco Lyrics

Yeah
An expression of agreement or acknowledgement.

Father Rasco, you better act like you know
Acknowledge and show respect for Rasco's authority and knowledge.

Straight of the pitch, the third mic gave a small pinch
Starting off strong, the third microphone brings a small touch of excitement.

And ever since they've been waitin' on this twelve inch
Everyone has been eagerly anticipating this new music release.

It's Peanut Butter Wolf, Rasco anticipated
Peanut Butter Wolf is involved and Rasco has been eagerly waiting for this collaboration.

Steppin' to mics will only get cracks obliterated
Trying to compete on the microphone will result in complete defeat.

Turn up these levels, let me bless those that's feelin' this
Increase the music volume and allow me to bring positivity to those who appreciate it.

Run on this path and I'ma rip fools continuous
If you challenge me on this journey, I will continuously defeat and outperform you.

This nonstop entourage rockin' camouflage
My crew and I are constantly moving and blending in seamlessly.

Is quick to handle any nigga thinkin' sabotage
We are skilled at dealing with anyone attempting to disrupt or destroy our progress.

Really, who in the hell is this big Willy?
Who is this arrogant and important person?

We'll run him down, rip his out and smack him silly
We will chase him, overpower him, and embarrass him.

My microphone filled with flames, takin' all names
My microphone is powerful and intimidating, leaving a lasting impression on everyone.

The first to tell 'em that this hip hop ain't all games
I am here to inform them that hip hop is not simply a recreational activity.

I rock the planet, transatlantic, meanin' overseas
My influence and impact extends globally, especially overseas.

Down with various, but this box don't come in threes
I am associated with different groups, but they do not conform to any specific trend or expectation.

Got EBF to the friz chillin' close range
I have EBF by my side, relaxing and close to me.

Pockets is flat, time to stack me some pocket change
I am broke, so I need to start accumulating some money.

But ain't it strange how this hard work has paid off?
It is surprising how my dedication and effort have resulted in success.

Remember days when I was flat broke and laid off
I recall the times when I had no money and was unemployed.

But gettin' fired only inspired the dope shit
Being fired from a job motivated me to create great music.

Now magazines on the scene tryin' to quote shit
Now, magazines are eager to feature and quote me in their articles.

Given the wackest hip hop overblown props
Even mediocre hip hop artists are receiving excessive praise.

Styles is stolen better call up the damn cops
People are stealing and imitating musical styles, necessitating the intervention of law enforcement.

Tell 'em to bring they paddy wagon, got a lot of folks
Bring a police van because there are many people who need to be arrested.

Stand-up comedians is all set to crack jokes
Comedians are ready to make humorous remarks about the situation.

Gavel to gavel, brothers gettin' drug through the gravel
The judicial system is harshly punishing people, dragging them down.

A little buzz, yo, but my rhymes just didn't travel
I received some attention, but my music didn't reach a wider audience.

A gotta take it to the next, start cashin' checks
I need to advance further and begin making money from my career.

I see you brothers perpertratin' in that rented Lex
I notice that some people are pretending to be wealthy by driving rented luxury cars.

Tryin' to flex like you some type of big wheel
Attempting to act important and significant.

I'm on the mic, niggaz just get they wigs peeled
When I grab the microphone, other rappers are completely outmatched and embarrassed.

Still, I know these wack fools be lovin' it
Despite their lack of talent, these individuals still enjoy and support the music.

Place your bets and I bet Ras can double it
If you place a wager, I guarantee that Ras can double the amount.

Some of you fools on the mic just bug me
Some of the rappers on the microphone irritate me.

Sippin' on ???? niggaz talkin' 'bout his bubbly
Drinking some unknown beverage while boasting about its luxurious nature.

Yo' broke ass ain't never sipped on no Cristal
You are poor and have never tasted an expensive champagne like Cristal.

Pulled no holes or even shot off a pistol
You have never had any sexual encounters or fired a gun.

The perpetratin' pulled the stick out for penetratin'
The fake personas reveal their true intentions and motives.

Have you at home layin' flat, rehabilitatin'
They will leave you at home, defeated and in need of recovery.

Exhilaration' all the time, gotta dish rhymes
Feeling excitement constantly, I must deliver entertaining lyrics.

Runnin' the joint, runnin' point, gotta dish dimes
I am in control, taking charge, and releasing quality music.

But not sacks, rather drop tracks to black wax
Instead of dealing drugs, I produce music and release it on vinyl records.

That type shit that be more hype than mad blacks
My music is exciting and energetic, surpassing even the most passionate individuals.

Rush in yo' spot set to take things I never got
I enter the music scene ready to claim the success that has eluded me in the past.

Two or three albums to yo' credit but they wasn't hot
Although you have released two or three albums, they were not successful or popular.

Don't jock fools 'cause you think that they be livin' cool
Don't admire and imitate artists just because you believe they have a glamorous lifestyle.

In videos wit' these broke hoes and swimmin' pools
Appearing in music videos with financially struggling women and modest swimming pools.

Dancin' around on my set tryin' to catch wreck
Attempting to make a big impression while performing on my stage.

Smokin' on blunts, takin' forty hoes to the neck
Leisurely smoking marijuana, consuming large quantities of alcoholic beverages.

Blurry position, better turn off my television
I am in an uncertain or confused state, so it's best to avoid any distractions.

No time for niggaz bringin' all types of negatism
I don't have time for people who bring negativity and pessimism.

The industry is just filled with these fake cats
The music industry is saturated with inauthentic individuals.

Runnin' around with cigars and fedora hats
Pretending to be sophisticated and classy by smoking cigars and wearing stylish hats.

Fags in drag, brothers best check they manhood
Effeminate men, pretending to be someone they are not, should reevaluate their masculinity.

Rip out they lungs, so it just won't expand good
Metaphorically, remove their ability to breathe freely and grow.

'cause I done had it with these phony rappin' freestyles
I am fed up with these fake and improvised rap performances.

Brothers be yappin' that they comin' out the penial
Rappers claim to be emerging from prison to sound more authentic.

The senile, you ain't never been in jail, black
You, who are mentally impaired, have never actually been incarcerated.

It be the Ras, give you more run than tailbacks
I am Ras, offering more action and excitement than football running backs.

Women be comin' out talkin' 'bout they cockbox
Women openly discuss their sexual organs and experiences.

Some of these brothers rock rhymes, others cockblock
Some rappers perform well, while others obstruct and prevent success.

Chorus(x2) 'Rhymes decapitate 'em when I activate 'em.' 'Get behind the real rhymer.'
Chorus repetition emphasizing the power and skill of Rasco's lyrics and urging listeners to support authentic artists.
