[Verse 1: CL Smooth]
Introducing CL then face the feats
Then I remind you of 3rd Street, when it was sweet
See this, move on and grow to another plateau
With me and... havin' that dough
In the last days when critical times, I left
To deal with my grand daddy's endeavors
When correcting my errors, the first shot came in '91
E.P. done my struggle
To label this 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, ya know the race I run
But ya losin' all the nights, ya 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
[Chorus: Pete Rock]
Ayo, two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and CL Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not 5, not 4, not 3 (Just two!)
Ayo, two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and CL Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not 5, not 4, not 3 (Just two!)
[Verse 2: Pete Rock]
In the beginning, Let It Be, like the record spinning
As a child, I stack 45's in a pile, blow the dust off
Put it on before I can 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 Tha Basement
As I amaze, watch me blow in '98 ways
I specialize in rap, DJ, and produce
With more hot tracks then Carlos DeJesus
[Chorus: Pete Rock]
Ayo, two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and CL Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not 5, not 4, not 3 (Just two!)
Ayo, two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and CL Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not 5, not 4, not 3 (Just two!)
[Verse 3: CL Smooth]
What it look like, ain't nothin changed but the weather
Still riding with CDs and leather, roll fives and better
For all that's folded in ya 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 fighting each other
God knowledge ya wiz, that you know who the enemy is, furthermore
Don't hide it, divide it, then X ya squares
To keep them other cats folded like beach chairs
Got an eye on that street aristocrat
Let CL show ya 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, mastering art
Like a jeweler wit' a diamond cutter, taking 'em apart
Don't start what ya can't finish
When ya bubble wit' skills that never diminish
Ya best team against mine is a light scrimmage
So play like Popeye and eat spinach
[Chorus: Pete Rock]
Ayo, two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and CL Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not 5, not 4, not 3 (Just two!)
Ayo, two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and CL Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not 5, not 4, not 3 (Just two!)
