Lyrics Uplift ((Edited)) - Rakim
Levantore!
Yeah,
it′s
just
ghetto,
kid
test
the
devil
to
hit
the
next
level
Wish
they
was
a
rebel
with
cerebral
metal
Inflex
the
bezzle
with
the
peddle
to
the
metal
In
a
thug's
paradise
where
love
have
a
price
So
we
love
for
life
like
thugs
love
the
night
They
sell
drugs
for
ice
for
the
Benz
with
bug
lights
Some
hug
mics
to
the
world,
hung
like
parasites
The
likes
lethal,
the
mics
lead
you
A
sneak
preview,
watch
what
we
do
and
what
the
hood
teach
you
I
still
see
through
the
eye
of
a
needle
So
I
can
watch
people
cause
slug
backwards
is
evil
(2nd
verse)
Levantore!
Yo,
what′s
this?
Yo
bust
this.
Yo
it's
time
to
up
lift
They
think
all
we
do
is
bust
clips
and
puff
splifs
And
plush
whips
and
clutch
chips
and
touch
chicks
Flont
rocks
like
Fort
Knox
and
hog
blocks
Taunt
cops
with
more
props
and
we
want
not
Panhandling
with
your
mans
and
them
Scrambling,
gambling,
plans
to
win
While
the
cops
clock
em,
thieves
flock
em
Women
watch
em,
traders
wanna
top
em
Ay
yo
what's
the
problem
Before
the
narcs
knock
em
opposite
playas
plot
to
rob
em
The
ghetto
got
em,
my
man
said
it′s
rough
at
the
bottom
(3rd
verse)
Levantore!
Ghetto
alert,
let′s
do
whatever
work
to
get
rid
of
the
curse
We
went
from
1st
to
America's
worst
On
this
competitive
turf,
now
let′s
inherit
the
earth
There's
more
prize
for
one
another,
and
call
shots
12:
00
til
the
next
ball
drop
All
year
around
plus
they
shuffle
non
stop
You
think
it′s
rough
at
the
bottom,
it's
even
rougher
on
top
My
peeps
gonna
have
to
reach
and
turn
for
me
And
everybody′s
side
of
the
street'll
be
celly
Ain't
nothing
funny,
burn
plenty
and
burn
money
And
earn
money
and
watch
the
century
turn
20
(4th
verse)
Levantore!
We
all
should,
from
the
woods
to
the
big
city
and
the
small
hood
Everybody
should
be
welcome
to
the
ball
if
we
all
could,
But
we
fall
cause
we
brawl,
yo
it
ain′t
all
good
We
need
to
play
right,
stay
tight
with
ya
air
alight
Keep
your
game
tight,
no
need
to
play
trife
Get
cheese
from
the
daylight
to
the
late
night
And
it′s
shouldn't
take
death
to
appreciate
life
Before
a
lot
parish,
we
got
to
cherish
if
Allah
let
us
Let′s
give
prop
and
merits
till
the
block
flourish
In
this
metropolis,
stay
on
top
of
this
You
know
what
the
prophet
is,
be
prosperous
(5th
verse)
Levantore!
Now
we
networking
Respect
the
next
person,
it'll
be
less
hurting
Or
left
lurkin,
while
we
kept
our
dreads
working
Connect
set
for
certain,
total
networking
Last
chance
to
advance
and
stash
grands
If
you
have
plans
to
have
fam
and
mad
land
Own
shine,
condone
crime
or
hold
9s
I
know
what
the
problem
is,
killing
our
own
kind
To
my
flame
throwers,
train
sober,
remain
soldiers
Stay
sane
so
these
pretty
dames
can
hold
us
Terror
terrain
rollers
and
Range
Rovers
so
the
train
goers
Claim
your
fame,
maintain,
till
your
game′s
over
(6th
verse)
