[Verse 1:] I came in the door nineteen eighty four Paint on the wall got chased by the law Once got soul in the place full of flow Was never given the zone had to create my own As clean as the nose on my face that I placed on the stone Had to stake my claim to the thrown Ain't no mistaken the sacred in his tone Ali the new name by which greatness is known Ya'll act like seeing is a new sport Your too inexperienced your teeth are too short Every culture has a right to passage You wanna bypass it and sell me your practice One for the lunch money I dont run from you punch-drunk dummies I invite you all to come for me I said I'd shot hungry when it wasn't sunny I been here long after y'all are done humpin' Talk to me when you've done somthing Other than swing back n' forth from hating to nut pumping No, all criticism isn't constructive Some need to be destructed, your done with And either you retire to the sideline or imbrace this time, this rhyme with your eyes wide open Shit won't have to earn them accolades A-N-T gonna take you all back to phase one
[Chorus:] Yes Yes y'all you dont stop Now come alive A-N-T and give me what you got Brother Ali rock shock the house we most definitely We bout to turn your doubt y'all A yes yes y'all and you dont dare stop Well come alive A-N-T and give me what you got Brother Ali rock shocking the house we most definitely [scratching:] (the way I feel now I just got to rock)
[Verse 2:] Ya'll ain't heard nothing I gave you your first lesson From what you discussin' over the percussion you Never compare to me You a parent tearin, repeating what you hear fly through the airwaves carelessly The meaning get lost in translation You a copy of the authors first page Counterfeit money, only get it in small denomination You'll never be prominent - face it your imitation Equal sacrament, sea bass generic ass Sprayin' through closed concerts simulacrum We used to distribute our music ourselves Our records shouldn't even be held on the same shelve Its bad enough they put y'all with 'rock the bells' Clean shaven culture we're best to be involved in it Ya'll will sqaunder in it No need to think for a minute by pushing limits you can see a pond to fish in And you will get strangled by your lines Whether your anger lingers sayin' ryhmes in due time Send your dues back to shoe shines and clip them coupons You a ?? lie to you open your brew on You slither out from under a rock and then present yourself for something you not But brother you jock Try true hip hop Preston forgot Swing it on the first fight and mother fucker I spot What up! Not I would love nothing more than to bust your box and blood clot a porn spot Three things I got I love'em alot Do anything to protect them from the vultures of block Hover above on the block, you mother fuckers better not
[Chorus:] Yes Yes y'all you dont dare stop Now come alive A-N-T and give me what you got! Brother Ali rock shock the house most definitely We gonna turn your doubt y'all Yes yes y'all you dont dare stop Well come alive A-N-T and give me what you got! Brother Ali rock shock the house most definitely We bout to turn you out y'all
[Verse 3:] The champion is back with his man again Crack the book open and fill another chapter in And we just wont stop come alive rhymesayer give me what you got Ah!
