Lyrics
Introducin' C.L. then face defeats
Then I remind you of third street when it was sweet
See'd us move on and grow to another plateau with me and Smooth
Havin' that dough
In the last days when critical times are left
To deal with my grand daddy's endeavors
When correctin' my errors, the first shot came in '91
E.P. done my struggle
To label is untouchable foundation due in '92, top ten review
Respect new when that flew, "They Reminisce Over You"
Skirt chasin' what they rate me in this whole rap affair
But when it really comes down to it, who cares?
Like the tortoise and the hare, you know the race I run
But you losin' all the nights, you let the rabbit get the gun
Number one wit' a bullet and my pit named, Black
It's the best who ever did it on a Pete Rock track
Ayo, two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not five, not four, not three (Just two!)
Ayo, two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not five, not four, not three
In the beginning, let it be like the record spinnin'
As a child I stack 45's in a pile blow the dust off
Put it on before I could walk
Play static on my pop dukes automatic
I knew I wasn't average, music in my bloodstream
My pops watch his son live his dream
Now as time flew, the original classy rock crew
Shine through on streets and avenues
The next chapter you read it MC Shan said it
Gotta give the man behind wheels credit
Yes, yes, y'all, BLS and Marley Marl
The Rap Attack put my talents on the map
Now it's Pete Rock for days in the basement
As I amaze watch me blow in ninety-eight ways
I specialize in rap, DJ and produce
With more hot tracks then Carlos DeJesus
It's the two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not five, not four, not three (Just two!)
Ayo, two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not five, not four, not three (Just two!)
What it look like, ain't nothing changed but the weather
Still ridin' with C.D.s and leather, roll fives and better
For all that's folded in your pocket, how long it take
To re-up and clock it, drop and make a profit
And lay my position with you that we know what to do
And not to do, stop this fightin' each other
God knowledge you wiz, that you know who the enemy is
Furthermore, don't hide it divide it then X your squares
To keep them other cats folded like beach chairs
Got a eye on that street aristocrat
Let C.L. show you where the strengths at
Turn it up right here or just call the cop
'Cause we on it like this to the last stop
The next Humphrey Bogart, masterin' art
Like a jeweler with a diamond cutter, takin' 'em apart
Don't start what you can't finish
When you bubble with skills that never diminish
Your best team against mine is a light scrimmage
So play like Popeye and eat spinach
It's the two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not five, not four, not three (Just two!)
Just two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not five, not four, not three (Just two!)
