Verse 1

Back up...

One Be Lo was doin’ art for the love...

Stick up...

Plea bargains with judge...

Don’t sleep, wake up...

Smell the Star, to the Bucks

Wise up

Now it’s all profit, property, market and such...

Pay up...

Skills sharper than a dart in my clutch

I aim High for the Bulls-eye, targets destruct

Adrenalin startin’ to rush, like a car with a drunk

I seen my door of opportunity was startin’ to shut

I forced my way in, like Jedi’s...with Jabba the Hut

Hut-Hut...Twenty yards, Steve Largent and cut...

Had to leave alone “Phillies”, no more sparkin’ the blunts

Now my game like “Barkley” with “Suns”

Stars and above

I’m a thoroughbred, emcee’s be talkin’ to us

But you ain't sayin’ much, you mutts, you barkin’ with pups...

I be sayin’ “What, the f#%k”...

Pardon my cuss

I leave better lines in heads, than barbers who cut

Ahhs and oohs(ooze)...

Sorta like when lava erupts...

From the crowd, permanent smile, I’m carvin’ a pump...kin

Somethin’ outta nuh-thin’, pockets with none...

Now I know about the profit (Prophet)

Ark and the Flood

Other rappers make it rain for the stripper showin’ parts in the club...

“Lo-Rain-a” make you “Bobb-it” and tuck

In a photoshoot, all of’em Mug...

Acting like they’ve been to the Core

They’re barely even hard to the crust

Sit you on the edge of the street...

They pick you up like the garbage on trucks...

I keep’em sittin’ on the edge of the seats...

Like Rosa Parks on a bus

Or see me in the Hood, sparkin’ the plugs...

Animated like Curious George-

Parliament funk

Jumpin’ outta the trunk

While you watchin’ car-tunes

Saturday afternoon

Outta ya bunk...

Two different levels...

Like bass and the trebel...

Ya equalizers gotta adjust, now people turn it up!!!

They ask me why I do this? I do this for-

Love, Allah, Bills, Opportunities, Revolution

For years people

Land Agriculture, Beasts, Occupation, Resources

Like

Large animals Bovine, Obedient, Reliable

Or like the little animals

Locusts, Ants, Bee’s or Roaches

This is

Language Arts Based on Reality

They say

Lo Adventure’s Belong on Railroads

Get it? tracks

Legendary Acclaimed Beyond Ordinary Ranks

Leader Among Billions of Rappers

They want these

Lyrical Abilities Blocked Over Radio

Thats when I say, “Welcome to the Laborhood”
