Who We Be - Intellectual

[Hook: Masta Ace]

What's up to everyone, that's in the place to be

I'm glad we could come together, we making history

You won't see this again, in half a century

Telling you who we be, eMC

Yo!, I'm Wordsworth, W.W., Words for short

Mirror Music, solo LP, y'all heard my thoughts

Yet I'm humble but I'm confident

Sophisticated and provocative

Novelist without all the obvious monotonous

Many other acomplishments

Plus songwriter, story telling and battle rhyming

I was born brighter

Being from Brooklyn, New York

It's just naturally comes

MC and poet, all packed into one

Aiyyo, What up?

My name is Stricklin, from Milwaukee, US

Yeah I can sing, I can dance, but see I talk to you best

I done did a lot of things but what I ought to do next

Is explain how M3 done simply brought you the best

I been signed to many labels who I fought to impress

They ain't hear me tho, so I had to walk with the rest

I deserved much more, but they offered me less

So here I be with eMC, who you thought was the best? What?

I'm Punchline, Lower Eastside, the place I reside

One Half of Punch & Words, competition get served

These labels works my nerves, tried killing my vibe

But I received a gold plaque by doing records with Tribe

Grammy nominated, my position validated, niggas took my style and ate it

Lyricist Lounge Show, yeah we made it

I love hoes, keep my mind on my dough

Im sorta like Terrence Howard cause I Hustle and Flow

Yeah, I'm Masta Ace from Brownsville, Brooklyn

Where many-a-chain is snatched and pocket book tooken

Taken, it's also the home of Central Booking

Cats are stealing checks off your Nikes if you not looking

I went five albums deep, while half the world would sleep

Once wrote a speech about the system in my jeep

From 1988 to 2000 and change

It's incredible I'm still doing my thing, it's a blessing
