I got a bird's eye view
Hip hop, there's so many things you can say about it, you feel me?
Like, on the real like, hip hop is just, beautiful
Hip hop is life
[Verse 1]
From the first time I saw you, infatuation
Pulled to the side to provide conversation
Wild reputation but you were so cool
Any old fool knew that you was a jewel
Ghetto to ghetto, your influence settled
More hardcore than rb but...
[Zion I]
Yo checkout the superb tech
Cashin' checks through dialect
Doper than the gold around your neck
This is my manuscript to spit lyrics like fat spliffs
I show the whole damn world my gift
For Paris I'm speakin' upon
Powerful just like a pod
Positioned in the proper placement
Focus like militant deep as concentrational caverns
Devising secret plans on spitting atoms
I verbalize
Lust to b...

Yo check out the superb tech
Casinh checks through dialect
Dope as the gold around your next
This is my manuscript to spit lyrics like I'm fat spliff
I show the whole damn world my gift
From pirates to speakin the pawn
Powerful just like a pawn

I be with you
I be there with you
I be with you

Wake up, gunshots in the city
Hustlers on the corner, gonna get more busy
Gunshots, young stunna got caught up
Clock big numbers, too bad got started
Stunt now, you gonna pay later

Wake up, gunshots in the city
Hustlers on the corner, gonna get more busy
Gunshots, young stunna got caught up
Clock big numbers, too bad got startered
Stunt now, you gonna pay later
Big booty girl, that's a black mans savior
Servin', hit the block and we curbin'
Roll real slow through the cut like a surgeon
Turf chick, smurfette, give you work quick
Get caught sippin', get sick is it worth it...
Intro:
Zion I crew. Amp Live, DJ KG, Zion. We're love and peace
[Verse 1]
The metaphorical, mathematical word science
Lyrical compounds react plus minus
Earth's finest, I represented on Venus
Girl gotta be pregnant so now she got my fears
Good God Jesus
Let me lace up my Adidas
My crew spread like AIDS you just can't see us
Subterranean, memories keep on fadin' in
Of when I was a king in Medit...
Down Below, where the cold winds blow
Roots sustained from the blood that you flow
Hard to see, hard to see where you be at
Where we meet at
[digging?] for you there, but I knew you would be back
can?t you see that? Fear inside my chest
walk alone, I?ma free that.
Down Below, where the cold winds blow
Roots sustained from the blood that you flow
Hard to see, hard to see where you be at

[Verse 1-The Grouch]
Street blocks to tree tops, sweet spots found
The diction to detox, three Pac's now
He walks with, he talks like me, I'm sound
Conviction to beat knocks, from my head to my cheap socks
Underneath Living Legends Reebok's
I'm bound to free speech thoughts, seep around rocks
Volcanic or crack, hard to hold back
Go with the flow, know what you know and show that
Too relevant, ...
How many times have you watched the sun rise
How many times have you looked deep into your lovers eyes
how many times have we spit phat rhymes
how many times
how many times
yo
how many rhymes would it take
just for you to relate
and understand that we're livin in a police state
how many a pretty penny I would guess
non the less
??? he's got us all desensitized under stress
how many tales of wh...
Zion I intro:
Lord gimme what I need gimme what I need.
Gimme what I need gimme what I
need. Lord gimme what I need gimme what I need.
[Zion I]
Dear Lord you show me the best of times
You show me the worst of times
Confusion all over my mind but still I keep bustin' rhymes
And I fight for what I want, but I die for what I need
And I watch my people bleed while vultures steady feed
We proceed w...
[Zion]
Original master, architect
Intel-lect, respect
My heart full of splinters
Agitating, so frustrating
Letting dreams stay as dreams
What are you waiting, for?
Feel the score, deep in your center
Immaculate is the conception enter
My dragon ways, for so many days
I rode on a ship with a hull full of slaves
A foreign land, foreign mind, foreign time
A foreign design to keep my people blind
