  Intro: 
 
Mmm, mmm, yeah, East coast, no doubt 
Hip-hop is somethin you live, rap is somethin you
do 
 
Verse One: 
 
Sorta distorted yo that's a fact 
Bad news gave a nigga in the mind contact 
I react on blues then use it within 
Blend concious thoughts to make man mortal men 
see right ways to shell out this thing hip-hop 
I pledge O.C. will only season the crops 
And never stop side drops or shot, I'm fiendin 
Covering more ground than news on CNN 
Being in the state of vast consumption in this
game 
it's like drugs only quantity is run throughout 
Quality is walking through the valley of the
reaper 
True deceivers are coming through your receivers 
Solid foundation to me is the true meaning of
hardcore 
We need a little bit more... 
 
Chorus: 4X (layered on samples) 
 
Love and affection 
'What I represent is MC's gone mad' --> Q-Tip 
 
Verse Two: 
 
I'm living in the time where life be a buck 
more worth than a child this rap sh*t suck 
Very few or should I say a handful of MC's 
Talk live, calling themselves kickin life, indeed

I listen and take a look around only seein who's 
all about frontin and who's profilin 
While my glock I had, guess what I forsaw 
True for now I'm not surprised we didn't rise not
at all 
Too many clicks for dolo, weak hitting solos 
My scrolls, they always paint visual photos 
 
O.C. worth more than a million 
Building nuff respect on the circuit of rap like
Sicilians 
You might see the b-boy when I walk New York 
Crew of brothers recognized so I stopped to talk 
Even the girls be hawkin sassi-fraskin askin 
What's going on and am I still rapping 
Things will change with hope galore 
But when it comes to rap, we need a little bit
more... 
 
Chorus 
 
Verse Three: 
 
Big U hold your head and God bless your wife 
Got your little baby girl so I know she's alright

I strike the mic anytime smashing yours 
Word are wise with wisdom with the width of a
wall 
and way describe I prescribe antidotes 
Curing, reassuring my lyrical notes 
Make an impact a fact on the backs of men 
Magnified to the fullest magnificent 
Brilliant, my composition is efficiently prone 
to set fire to a waste and char your as* to the
bone 
Figure, I trigger, bigger, bold bad men 
Come against O you'll be walking away a sad man 
Miles of red tape had me stunted for growth 
but when I took off on wax I maxed the globe 
Didn't happen so far, respect be just building 
Watch for the devils in the forms of chameleons 
Kick the raw slow down on the score 
Think before you write or find yourself falling 
Final calling, you're spreading infection 
When it comes to rap, we need a little bit
more... 
 
Chorus
