Lyrics
(Intro)
[Verse 1 – Grap Luva]
Huh
I got some time to explain the true grading of a rhyme writer
So take the stance of a gunfighter
Others inject intellect for self respect
Or simply kicking verses for a tight paycheck
But they neglect is creative aspects in control
The sounds and words originate up in the soul
My thoughts cross wack emcees and wickedness
They seem to go hand in hand in the mess
That's formed the dawn of the fake emcee
It's really funny to me how brothers front like they deadly, see
Jah be's with me so Ras G is no fool
Respecting the original school that wrote the rules
I'm laying all these real ass facts upon the wax
Mass communication minus faking the jax
So relax all the gods will make you crumble and fall
Keeping you on the run as we start from Square One
[Hook – InI][4X]
"The InI's in the house" "you don't stop"
"Grap Luva, Marco Polo, Ras" "you don't stop"
Square one
[Verse 2 – Ras G]
I have to get what I want, cause now it's no time to front
It's InI on the hunt just to smoke up the funk
With no fear in this industry we in here
So surprised I appear I play the back or the rear
I pushed and shoved to get in, and I've seen every sin
And it's been a long time considering
But no bitter man, African, Rastafarian, Non-American
Checking every man (yeah)
In my zone because the eye is all alone in this universe
I see the worst now I'm coming in first
A brother's thirst got him eager to merc
In full effect cause I'm staying alert
Bless the hurt at each and every concert
Taught well to be the very next expert
Never the spare one, I'm stepping up to shoot a fair one
Setting it off from Square One
[Hook]
The InI's in the house" "you don't stop"
"Grap Luva, Marco Polo, Rob" "you don't stop
Square one
[Verse 3 – Rob O]
In 95 nuff kids can catch the vapors
Rob O spends his time putting words to paper
Still so I maintains a fly flow
But everytime I plant a seed they won't let it grow
Guess it's the fact that I seen through ya team of major fake outs
Your feeble attempts of getting caked out
But in the face of temptation, sex, guns and paperchasing
Playing yaself and say ya neithans
Is it the recognition, quick cash or chart positions
Or big figures that have you shitting on niggas
It must be, thinking like the whole rap industry son
Yeah no doubt you bugged out
It's not as stable or firm as you thought
In the scrimmage and the tables is turned, this shit is finished
Yo Grap Luva (no question) cause this is how it should be done
We taking it back to Square One
[Hook]
The InI's in the house" "you don't stop"
"Grap Luva, Marco Polo, Ras" "you don't stop
Square one
Yeah
what a fuckin tune
2021 this song of 90s ❤️
My gawd
Nothin' that PR has ever produced that I don't love, but this right here is his benchmark. Masterpiece, hands down.
One of the best hip hop albums I've ever listened to
Word
아 좋다
good asf
A wave of emotions hit me unexpectedly.
Taking a fat dab to thiz
Pete rock monstro sagrado.
2020 ,,/
Real hip hop
This is hard.
Old School diamond
Master piece. no more words. center of the attention. nasty scene: but square one hits just in the soul. incredible groove
Love the Lo-Fi
