(Cadence):
'Bout to come above ground
Raw Produce
'bout to show you how we lay it down
we try to skyscrape ideas take shape
that's the sound sensation
The foundation
You can't just buy tape and lay down your verse
There's a little something that you gotta lay down first
Verse 1 (Pitch):
Ah yeah
check it out
look what my mind has intoned
the foundation is the art
let me set it in stone
with a chisel and a hammer
god damn I made a mark
so let me cycle right around to the original start
bought my first record
at the age of seven
now it's all about the beats that are pumped in the street
Imparted with this love
long before I ever started
half hearted MCs
shouldn't try to get started
Yeah I know you
you're always keeping it real
Always talkin' bout the blunts and how you're packin' the steel
Talkin' all that garbage like it buys you clout
always talking blow up
I wish you'd blow the f*ck out
While I'm as solid as a rock
from the bones to epidermis
verbals kickin' cookie cutters with the BOMBs
in the crazy butters
Takin' giants like my pawn takes rook
this is my testament my permanence
solid circumstance
music's in the heart
and blessed in the head
music is a memory and how it's fed
music ain't nothing but a people's jam
it's Pitch and Cadence
Raw Produce
Rocking without a band
Verse 2 (Cadence):
33 1/3
That's my preferred
rate of heavy rotation
I couldn't be in the house
if I didn't lay the foundation
trying to base a reputation in patience
and virtuosity
(If you don't know)
Now I can settle your curiosity
possibly your best bet
for pressable decibels
the resume is on display by pressing play on your deck
It's respectable
not the next to pull a weapon suggesting you fear me
When you (Duck Down)
It's get harder for you to hear me
And I want my words heard
'cause I get perturbed at wasting oxygen
with lung capacity
and tenacity backing me I'm talking
sense like Common
Not harming you when I'm bombing you
Coming from Insomnia
with more Produce than Carmen Miranda
I met demands with a stanza
that's up to standards
don't pander to market strategies
rather retain my candor
And the corner stone's been laid a decade
I stayed it in still
no tricks in '96 it's time to build
