Jeru the Damaja - Whatever(1996)

[00:01.75] Ayo (What's up?) there's a lotta motherfuckers out here
[00:05.30] With a style similar to mine nowadays, you know what I mean?
[00:09.86] (For reals) Be tryin' to like, they infiltrated the camp
[00:12.50] And now they, they wanna take the style and claim it for they
[00:15.29] Owns, ya know? (That's how you feel?) But I'mma blow'em up
[00:18.86] 'Cause it's just like, whatever, you know what I'm sayin'? (Whatever)
[00:21.68] It's too strategical and mathematical
[00:24.37] I rotate so fast that I appear invisible
[00:27.02] I keep it chemical, but never subliminal
[00:29.72] The force centrifugal and spiritual
[00:32.48] You got static? Get grounded, 'cause I've mastered electrical
[00:36.06] Mostly mental, but don't sleep on the physical
[00:38.74] Ignorance got'em chatterin'
[00:40.56] One even said I was a son to him, still my LP is fatter than
[00:44.11] His or yours, took a two-year pause
[00:46.86] Now that I'm back on the set my foes drop like hoe's drawers
[00:49.68] In a brothel, only dealin' with what's logical
[00:52.36] Applied science left MC's penetrable
[00:55.05] The leader's stroke is apocalyptic
[00:56.83] Hostile like Arabics in Israel with automatics
[01:00.44] And if you want it, the Monks can make it hectic
[01:03.10] Set it off, fire burn up Jack Frost and Santa Claus
[01:06.78] Whatever you want to do, make it clever
[01:09.44] Whatever, whatever, whatever
[01:14.79] "And to all y'all crews, whatever"
[01:18.43] Bound to blow up, but never disintegratin'
[01:21.18] The ultimate MC equation
[01:22.91] Ferromagnetic, ask my pops, it's genetic
[01:26.56] That's why I'm a weedhead and not an alcoholic
[01:29.25] Call it whatever you want to call it
[01:31.96] Devils just know that it's some form of arithmetic
[01:34.62] Hieroglyphic, 'cause you can picture this shit
[01:37.35] The state of hip-hop today is like hookers in politics
[01:40.93] Got MCin' locked down like a convict
[01:42.72] Blowin' up opposition as I maneuver through it
[01:46.34] And to make sure it's overstood, I stick around
[01:49.00] Popular like crime in ghetto neighbourhoods
[01:51.70] Rock my crown like Shaka did, hold it down
[01:54.41] Fuck your mind up like Joe Jackson, kids, check it out
[01:57.12] So whatever you want to do, make it clever
[01:59.83] Whatever, whatever, whatever
[02:04.39] "I gotta do my thing, I represent"
[02:06.18] "And to all y'all crews, whatever"
[02:08.77] "I gotta do my thing, I represent"
[02:12.06] "And to all y'all crews, whatever"
[02:14.51] "I gotta do my thing, I represent"
[02:17.84] "And to all y'all crews, whatever"
[02:20.24] "And to all y'all crews, y'all crews,y'all crews, whatever"
[02:25.76] Fire, flames, heat up the competition
[02:28.59] Spontaneous combustion, like the Pope's religion
[02:32.18] Your style of emceein' is Paganism
[02:33.91] Your rhymes make no sense, just like a Roman Christian
[02:37.59] But your niggas soup you up like Lipton
[02:39.36] The Gwong Jan Lin of underground emceein' strikes again
[02:42.94] The snake bites again, but I'm immune to the poisonous
[02:45.69] Venom, ask the devil, he knows I'm dangerous
[02:49.29] Freak on the mic, but not sexual
[02:51.93] Call me unalike 'cause my rhymes are never homo
[02:53.70] Make you sad, like when Cher left Sonny Bono
[02:56.46] Fire burn Giuliani, Pataki and Cuomo
[02:59.19] Whatever you want to do, make it clever
[03:02.77] Whatever, whatever, whatever
[03:05.49] "I gotta do my thing, I represent"
[03:08.14] "And to all y'all crews, whatever"
[03:10.80]
