The High & Mighty - The Meaning lyrics

[Mr. Eon] High & Mighty back in this [B. Real] "You think you know what I'm meaning" I'm just a '86 witness "You thi-think-think-think ya know" Take it out you s**ers, you don't know how I did it "You think you know what I'm meaning" Yo yo, you're now a game and don't think you're gonna win it "You-think-you think you know what I'm meaning" Maybe if I popped Cristal Said I had a Lexus, or a triple beam I'd get a deal I'd rather speak upon a Maurice Cheeks steal It's the outta paper, not the caps I peel I used my independent, money to pay the rent Remain at hell bent, and far from heaven sent Where they went? The days when mics got destroyed B's just boy-ed, the soft punks got toyed Unemployed, was a happy-go-lucky MC And now that's all they f**in be bringing to me Where they went? The summer concerts on concrete Elite could put twelve G's in the seat Now I release the masterpiece of my music It's '99, and no one could use it They rather re-use it, the audience confuse it Take Chuck D's Time Bomb, try to defuse it [Lord Jamar] "I've seen your kind before, you're not original" "Ya-you're not ya-you're not orig-riginal" "I've seen your kind before, you're not original" [B. Real] "The-the-the meaning, ya think you know what I'm meaning" "I've seen your kind before, you're not original" "Ya-you're not ya-you're not original" "I've seen your kind before, you're not original" "Ya think you know what I'm meaning" [Mr. Eon] It seems that you gotta come cheap to compete That's why when I chose to go deep you go sleep On a verse, you not gonna get at first Like O.J. would never ever get a hearse first When he die, think about the lie over lie >From verse about the hearse of this rap universe Cuz radical elements remain eloquent The reprocussions tear right through the fabric So act quick, kids at the top is lackin They tryin to turn hip hop to just plain rappin Let the poppers pop and the breakers break Cuz there's just so much of this sh** that I can take Now I can't stand the rain, this sh**'s all the same Mr. E excommuincate your whole game Back in '88 baby everything was gleaming "The meaning, you think you know what I'm meaning" "I've seen your kind before, you're not original" "You're not-you're not-you're not original" "I've seen your kind before, you're not original" "Ya-ya-think-ya-think you know what I'm meaning" [Mr. Eon] Where your sk**s at, where the ill raps? Where the new tracks, where your heart at? Where the new jacks, gettin contracts? I got a rhyme that I ain't even wrote yet Save the drama cla**es for the ma**es Hip hop, glacoma, baby I prescribe the gla**es The vision's near-sighted, and narrow-minded The wack sh** that you hear, is all hate and fight Take it like harder, fools act retarder In '98, lyrics just disregarded Now how hard it be yo to really concentrate Writin metaphors, wack sh** I annihilate Now fools comin through spellin much gibberish While Mighty Mi and I stay acknicilous Raps are bed pan, and I be the nurse Removin sh** wit lyrics that I disperse Nail ya coffin,?so you're? d**h's epitome Ya fate be taken out is most likely Not likely, we be The High & The Mighty Stompin out crews, the team of the '90's "I've seen your kind before, you're not original" "Not original" "I've seen your kind before, you're not original" "The meaning, you think you know what I'm meaning" "I've seen your kind before, you're not original" "Ya not original--" "Ya not" "I've seen your kind before, you're not original" "You think you know what I'm meaning" [Mr. Eon] [Biggie] Gang Starr "Shoulda been number one to me" And D.O.C.
