High And Mighty The Meaning Lyrics

The Meaning Lyrics

Mr. Eon]  

 High & Mighty back in this  

 "You think you know what I'm meaning" [B. Real]  

 I'm just a '86 witness  

 "You thi-think-think-think ya know"  

 Take it out you suckers, you don't know how I did it  

 "You think you know what I'm meaning"  

 Yo yo, you're now a game and don't think you're gonna win it  

 "You-think-you think you know what I'm meaning"  

  

 Maybe if I popped Cristal  

 Said I had a Lexus, or a triple beam I'd get a deal  

 I'd rather speak upon a Maurice Cheeks steal  

 It's the outta paper, not the caps I peel  

 I used my independent, money to pay the rent  

 Remain at hell bent, and far from heaven sent  

 Where they went? The days when mics got destroyed  

 B's just boy-ed, the soft punks got toyed  

 Unemployed, was a happy-go-lucky MC  

 And now that's all they fuckin be bringing to me  

 Where they went? The summer concerts on concrete  

 Elite could put twelve G's in the seat  

 Now I release the masterpiece of my music  

 It's '99, and no one could use it  

 They rather re-use it, the audience confuse it  

 Take Chuck D's Time Bomb, try to defuse it  

  

 "I've seen your kind before, you're not original" [Lord Jamar]  

 "Ya-you're not ya-you're not orig-riginal"  

 "I've seen your kind before, you're not original"  

 "The-the-the meaning, ya think you know what I'm meaning" [B. Real]  

 "I've seen your kind before, you're not original"  

 "Ya-you're not ya-you're not original"  

 "I've seen your kind before, you're not original"  

 "Ya think you know what I'm meaning"  

  

 [Mr. Eon]  

 It seems that you gotta come cheap to compete  

 That's why when I chose to go deep you go sleep  

 On a verse, you not gonna get at first  

 Like O.J. would never ever get a hearse first  

 When he die, think about the lie over lie  

 <>From verse about the hearse of this rap universe  

 Cuz radical elements remain eloquent  

 The reprocussions tear right through the fabric  

 So act quick, kids at the top is lackin  

 They tryin to turn hip hop to just plain rappin  

 Let the poppers pop and the breakers break  

 Cuz there's just so much of this shit that I can take  

 Now I can't stand the rain, this shit's all the same  

 Mr. E excommuincate your whole game  

 Back in '88 baby everything was gleaming  

 "The meaning, you think you know what I'm meaning"  

  

 "I've seen your kind before, you're not original"  

 "You're not-you're not-you're not original"  

 "I've seen your kind before, you're not original"  

 "Ya-ya-think-ya-think you know what I'm meaning"  

  

 [Mr. Eon]  

 Where your skills at, where the ill raps?  

 Where the new tracks, where your heart at?  

 Where the new jacks, gettin contracts?  

 I got a rhyme that I ain't even wrote yet  

 Save the drama classes for the masses  

 Hip hop, glacoma, baby I prescribe the glasses  

 The vision's near-sighted, and narrow-minded  

 The wack shit that you hear, is all hate and fight  

 Take it like harder, fools act retarder  

 In '98, lyrics just disregarded  

 Now how hard it be yo to really concentrate  

 Writin metaphors, wack shit I annihilate  

 Now fools comin through spellin much gibberish  

 While Mighty Mi and I stay acknicilous  

 Raps are bed pan, and I be the nurse  

 Removin shit wit lyrics that I disperse  

 Nail ya coffin, ?so you're? death's epitome  

 Ya fate be taken out is most likely  

 Not likely, we be The High & The Mighty  

 Stompin out crews, the team of the '90's  

  

 "I've seen your kind before, you're not original"  

 "Not original"  

 "I've seen your kind before, you're not original"  

 "The meaning, you think you know what I'm meaning"  

 "I've seen your kind before, you're not original"  

 "Ya not original--" "Ya not"  

 "I've seen your kind before, you're not original"  

 "You think you know what I'm meaning"
