1
I will not rhyme on tracks, niggas on a chain gang
2
Used to do that, huh, way back
3
I will not rhyme over tracks, niggas on a chain gang
4
Used to do that, huh, way back
5
Don't drop the beat on me, don't drop the beat no, ah
6
I am not the son of sha-klak klak, I am before that, I am before
7
I am before, before, before, death is eternity after death is eternity
8
There is no death, there's only eternity
9
And I be ridin' on the wings of eternity like
10
Sha-klak klak, get me the fuck off this track
11
As if the heart beat wasn't enough
12
They got us using drum machines now
13
The hums of the machines
14
Tryin' to make our drums humdrums
15
Tryin to move our magic
16
Instruments be political prisoners up inside computers
17
As if the heart were not enough
18
As if the heart were not enough
19
And as heart beats bring percussions, fallen trees bring reprocussions
20
Cities play upon our souls like broken drums
21
Redrum the essence of creation from city slums
22
But city slums mute our drums and our drums become humdrums
23
'Cause city slums have never been where our drums are from
24
Just the place where our daughters and sons become
25
Offbeat heartbeats slaves to city streets
26
And hearts get broken and heartbeats stop, broken heartbeats
27
Become breakbeats for niggas to rhyme on top, but
28
I won't rhyme on top no tracks, niggas on a chain gang
29
Used to do that, huh, way back
30
I won't rhyme over tracks, niggas on a chain gang
31
Used to do that, huh, way back
32
Don't drop the beat, no, don't drop the beat, no
33
Not until you've listen to Rakim on a rocky mountain top
34
Have you heard hip hop, extract the urban element that created it
35
And let a open wide country side illustrate it
36
Riding in a freight train in the freezing rain, listening to Coltrane
37
My reality went insane and I think I saw Jesus
38
He was playing hopscotch with Betty Carter
39
Who was cursing him out in a scat like gibberish
40
For not saying, "butterfingers"'
41
And my fingers run through grains of sand
42
Like seeds of time the pains of man
43
The frames of mind which built these frames
44
Which is the structure of my urban superstructure
45
The trains and planes can corrupt and obstruct your planes of thought
46
So you that forget how to walk through the woods
47
Which ain't good 'cause you ain't never walked through the trees
48
Listenin' to nobody, beats the biz and you ain't never heard hip hop
49
And you must stop that damn track from going
50
Please don't drop the beat, don't drop the beat, no, and
51
I will not rhyme on tracks, niggas on a chain gang
52
Used to do that, huh, way back
53
I will not rhyme on tracks, niggas on a chain gang
54
Used to do that, huh, way back
55
Don't drop the beat, no, don't drop the beat, no
56
Don't drop the beat, no, don't drop the beat, heartbeat
57
My heartbeat goes on and on and on, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
