1999歌词完整版
Featuring Sadat X &Talib Kweli
Still gettin mine in the ONE NINE NINE NINE
*sample cut and played in background*
Yo just relax take it easy slow down
I had this I had this friend of mine
Who just you know he was movin too fast yaknawimsayin
I told him to slow down he said the sun don't chill
I said I said still I said still you gotta
Just appreciate life sit back don't let it fly right past you
No matter what go on I'm still gettin mine
No matter the year no matter the place no matter the time
Check it it's like I'm fightin for freedom writin for freedom
These record company n***as I don't like when I see em
My ancestors when I'm writin I see em and talk wit em
Hopin in the promise land I can walk wit em
S**tted on so many rappers it's like I'm in the stall wit em
Molest concepts start rhythm paid dues bought wisdom
As legends fall my godmother answer heaven's call
Preachers' daughters get f**ked in the reverand's hall
MC's reckless I ball why y'all wanna go and do that
Must've thought I was solo the name just ain't the you Ac
No mo' still together
Like in the ghetto photo wit one n***a in the chair
Holdin liquor in despair gang signs in the air
I shine in spaces where time is just a glare
Hold the mic like a memory
N***as say I'm nice wit metaphors but these are similes
Street ministry my poetry's a penitentiary track is visitation
Sentences is life I'm like chief up in this demonstration
Still
Still gettin mine in the ONE NINE NINE NINE
*sample cut and played in background 4X*
*in background during sample*
Check it out everyday ha yeah
This how we gon' do it for y'all
Common Sense Sadat X puttin something in your ear
Something for you to grab
For the whole world yaknowimsayin but it ain't free
It's a fee check it out
You squirm wit this coughin whippin cough
Six days of madness and you might throw me off
On this great ball of stress that they call the earth
I'ma show y'all in rhyme just how much s**t I been through
And all the place I went to always played the low
It's like a competition this mission here I'm tellin you
Slip up and rhyme a*s n***as here is fellin you
Crash courses slow down you can't learn that quick
'Cause I'm the dead eye wit the red eye from Chi to L I
I thought y'all knew every year I grew I'm still growin
And in a year or two I hope my girl'll be showin
A male seed praise God I name him Moses
I lead people I want him to that's why I chose this
Now is the glass half full or half empty
Common why they tempt me
The king of the simply bore in mic
I always stay on top 'cause I give n***as what they like
I know y'all hate that why I feel I owe y'all everyday
If y'all hear it a thousand times it's gon' be the same way
The 'Dat Father go farther why bother
Now I'm a peaceful man I don't want no stress
You know I'm still
Still gettin mine in the ONE NINE NINE NINE
*sample cut and played in background 3X*
Yo yo some get Range Rovers some religion change over
Angel on my main shoulder tellin me remain sober
Token n***a game's over ain't no payola in freestyle
In battles I'm warringWarren like a G Child
Searchin for the child in me this style in me
This release is like the piece that's now in me
They tried to 'sassinate me god like Martin on the bal cony
Lyrically I put a hit on em 'cause I'm the style Nitty
Catch a flick at the Liquid Kitty
Tryin to get a chick to kick it wit me till the tilt
Told her my Chamber's like Wilt
Built wit her for a sec let her know I had respect
Less than a hour she was givin me neck yo I'm still gettin mine
Still gettin mine in the ONE NINE NINE NINE
