LYRICS:
Now when the emcees came
To live out the name
And *shhkka shhhk* perform
Some had to snort cocaine
To act insane to provoke
It rocket on
Now on with the mental planes
Spark the brain
With the building to be born
Boy! Boy you sharp, boy!
Look that fade on you, boy!
Eww, boy! That’s liquid swords on your head, boy!
Yo, waves!
Thinkin’ like back in the days when niggas wore fades
Silk tied caps just tryna catch a wave
(boy you sharp)
Tryna catch a wave
(liquid swords sharp)
Tryna catch a wave
Tryna catch a wave
A wave
It’s been a long time coming
Since we had someone swarming with the bees (killah)
The birds and the killah bees
when the emcees came to live out their name
Inscribed in the halls and the walls of fame
