Chubb Rock - Keep It Street Lyrics
[chubb rock]Yo, keep in the street let the groove stay roughRougher than rough, ignorance is enoughOn the media tip, so that the read must gripOn reality, dont let em gas up your mentalityThis style started from the essenceNot the magazine, maybeline cold cream afro-sheen tipComin deep into the soul cause I mean itDisciples of pop want to redeem it - nopeI dont know why, why is thatWhy must i, chase the cat?Nothin but the dog, in meContinue you just gonna, fall in theMidst of a hip-hop blitz with a tripBack to the batter to the gladys of the pi-dupWatch me ri-dup, allType of tv screens movie type scenesJust like blues, hip-hop paid duesDues can be recouped if you act soupedMakin pop beats, so keep it street[chubb rock]Block party, nineteen-eighty-onePeople havin fun, no one with a gunNo ducats, you pay nothin at the gateYou escape to the sounds of a cold crush tapeIn your back pocket, rap is always clocked thenJump on the realistic mic then rock itNo clock dont stop until mother nature saysNo conflict between usual knuckleheadsThat didnt affect the morale of the crowdJust those kids pumped the set up loudNowadays, our appearance is a big part of itEverybody wants a mr. t starter kitHip-hop has always been you have a beefWith another man step to him, and throw ya handsCome back and dance to the rhythmOf a james brown beat - and keep it streetChildren grow and women produceAnd men go work and some go steal it!Children.. children grow and..Children..[chubb rock]In nineteen-ninety you will get another treatThats harder than concrete, unique dont competeLyrical format uses your rep as a doormatYou shoulda come sooner if you wanted to kick a rumorNever try to jest unless you like your fleshAll scarred, ripped and done hardCause kid you dont realize, that in my part of townYoull get killed if you wanna act a clownGrab your heart, play your part and pledge allegianceSchools in, so lets begin, your first readingsOpen your book, heres a number two pencilFeel the vibe of a chubb instrumentalNo pop tunes only rough street beatsYou can sample butt-snagger mick jaggerIll stay with my crates and make dope beatsAnd Ill keep it, definitely keep it streetPeace!
