Perspectives Lyrics

The Emcee - Perspectives



(Per-per-per-perspective)

Yea, it’s a new beginnin’

Hip Hop, one two one two

The Emcee

Check



[Chorus]

They say hip hop’s fallin’ apart

But that wont stop us from callin it art

Yea we gotta hold it down as a collective

And make sure that they see our (per-per-per-perspective)

They say hip hop’s fallin’ apart

But that wont stop us from callin’ it art

Yea we gotta hold it down as a collective

And make sure that they see our (per-per-per-perspective)



Hip Hop ain’t the same it’s a shame they closed Rawkus

Disappointin’ like the Knicks to New Yorkas

All I hear is a buncha lames ‘n shit talkers

Wheres the Kanes, Rakims and Chris Parkers?

Real MCs, are damn near extinct

Last time I heard some shit was Built from Cuban Links

Just think, other than that, the rest of the shit stinks

Better work out the kinks before your ship sinks

Sip drinks, get crunk, shake your behind

That shit is coo but it don’t stimulate your mind

Time to take it back on some ’91 shit

The ?De La - Tribe? native tongue shit

Can’t forget that Onyx ‘throw your gun shit’

And of course you know you gotta knock that Pun shit

I come from a era where cats would just spit

Now after 2 bars I’m ready to press skip



[Chorus]



I represent the last of

The dope MCs, that would never pass up

Any opportunity to rip your ass up

Don’t let your mans and your fans have you gas’d up

You really not that nice, it aint hard the first week to go gold

When your label can cop half of what’s sold

You can have the top 10 billboard spots

Keep that, either way I’mma still get props

The Emcee ain’t got the throne naw not today

But I’m only bout 5 or 6 slots away, uh huh

I am the source being I’m that nice

Nas should’ve more than 3 and a half mics

Keep my craft tight, I know I can

No hit singles but I got die-hard fans

My instincts got me usin’ the pen’s ink

Not in a boy band but my flow is N SYNC (in sync)



[Chorus]



On Golden Child tracks I’m at ease

To get my point across just like a trapeze

Stations chargin’ flat fees

To get in rotation, you could put that in quotation

I said it, must be genetic

On the mic never bite my tongue

Give my pops all the credit

Corporate America can kiss my ass now

All they wanna do is milk the cash cow

Could care less if we end up deceased or in jail

Long as there’s an increase in sales

I’m not a rap analyst, just a fan of this

Real hip hop from NY to Los Angeles

Matter fact, any longitude or latitude

Where they show the pioneers gratitude

And thats the attitude that seems most effective

But yo, that’s just my perspective



[Chorus]



Yea yea,

The Emcee got (per-per-per-perspective)

Golden Child got (per-per-per-perspective)

Kamel got (per-per-per-perspective)

Get your own (per-per-per-perspective)
