Raisin' the Stakes

raising the stakes and rhyming em breaks

we started from hooligans

with brothers that shoot at jobs

take it back around the way

trying to build a future form

our peoples are still lost

get through no matter cause

we run it out of town

but you still wanna floss

not because you getting money

don't mean you better off

can't join that late nights

now take that Gucci sweater off

too heavy for rap

have to take a slight measure off

?spin that george broth back

you in that white colored cloth

like Oliver North

my fate detected

my feelings is forced

bullets get ejected

mothers scream into ours

I've been through the force

sauteed rappers with sauce

and mix them up with tofu

and no beef of course

when I say give me some room

and I mean a loft

big bitchin too fast scenery from the boys

greenery live with the torch

a bad piece hitting New York

you can't listen if you know that you're soft

jump on the stage

chain rattlin

the lance is street hagglin

underground scriptures thrown at you like a javelin

tone of my voice unravelin

they fall in about as quick as you know time is

travelin

can't you imagine that you see me every day on the

streets

from crown heights to castle

in the comfort castle back into my own speech

Mozambique

the time in Cologne

that flavors have flown

earn a few shillings then I'm heading back home

setting the tone

and raising the stakes

and rhyming the breaks

high school flows giving rappers the shakes

on the corner posted up

Henesy styrofoam cups

man we still living it's surprising like what

bring on the skeptics

let them know ten years fully vested

been down like Amadeus blend the eclectic

respected like the full pound

it's like Horatio girl you gotta love the way it's

going down

raising the stakes

and rhyming the breaks
