Hook [ Uptown ]

Lets take it back to the old days when we use to do it the old way

Lets take it back

I guess I have to clap some more cause I don't know what they rapping for

Lets take it back

Lets take it back to the old days when we use to do it the old way

Lets take it back

I'm about to tap your jaw cause I dont know the you're rapping for

Verse 1 [ Uptown ]

Uptown and I'm at it again, explode with pen

Here to separate the boys from the men

Lyrically I'm as bad as I been

Just google me nigga and you'll see all of the work I put in

Its not as many who can fuck with the boss

Still Dope On Plastic but I don't fuck with Dante Ross

Tommy Boy I was living a dream but it became my nightmare

But they can look up and I'm right there

I'm the epitome from Hamburg to Italy

No matter what they spit at me they can't get rid of me

They try to get at me, cock and hit at me

Flipping the whole rap game, sleep with the enemy

And that's a penalty that fuck with me mentally

And I'll take out a friend of me or even a kin of me

You want the end of me I won't pretend to be

Liking that bullshit funny style you sending me

You didn't know you better ask a nigga

Uptown will hold it down and quick to blast a nigga

I've grown in a zone of disaster nigga

Uptown will never answer to a master nigga...Lace up

Verse 2 [ Uptown ]

Remember De La made Me Myself and I

I was down with Tommy Boy representing the Stuy

That's way before R.Kelly knew he can fly

And the hottest shit out was Groove Me by Guy Oh my my my

I can't compute cause someone in the company was stealing my loot

Every record that they played every beat that I looped

Every dollar that I made was still unre-couped

On top of that niggas who was knowing the game

Was putting my words in they name collecting the fame

Matter of fact I didn't know this or that

And my publishing was making all my enemies fat

I should have known that I would lose all my ends

When the company and lawyer was the best of friends

But still i tried to make the best of the deal

Got in the Battle of Supremacy ready to kill I knew that I will

Damage them with average skill

So I gave a little more than they can feel and yo that's real

I was laying them down like rugs

I had the speed tongue way before the Bones and Thugs

In the final rounds it was Freshco, me, and Serge

Going at it and only the king would emerge

After that I can't explain all the pain that I felt

That was the year my label mate won my belt the cards was dealt
