Art Of Origin No Slow Rollin'
* [Intro: man speaking] In seconds, letters we write In minutes, a line or two An hour perhaps a paragraph In a day, with a page, we're thru Then comes the weeks and then the months As time goes marching on [Verse 1: Kaoz] Stop! This is the rule & main concern in plain English For these are those who are supposed and intent To listen and sign and go, with the set tempo (scratching) but no! You talking like a big man but, you're just a small fry But why you'd wanna throw me off with the wild lie? But now I've had it up to here with the bullshit I'm throwing you a shovel… now YOU shovel it! The questionnaire of a person I see seems to be all about When's the album coming out? I never know what to do, or what say So I say "Like any given year" or "Like any other day" When I go make a song, man go get it tested People always ask me "How come that's not a record?" Or "Can I get a copy, I gotta tape right here" And I laugh to myself because I made this early last year (Scratching) When it's time to roll… [Kaoz] I'm tired of slow rollin' [Verse 2: Chino XL] Now once again You've fallen to a dimension that's horrifying Rappers be glorifying Cus Origin is never trying To R&B they ears off On stage soft Crossover, Water, Assaulter, I slaughter, pop with hardcore People ask for autographs, sometimes I laugh At times my album's four years late Well lets accelerate/ 'XL'arate! People in this industry ain't nothing but scavengers Sweating that Marky Mark shit, dissin' my manager You can't beat beef, Fold me, Control me It'll take more that rubbin' a log on Apollo stage to hold me Mayors don't give a damn cus they on that salaries That explains the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide personalities People say "Chino, why should we put you on a pedestal?" Cus I was writing rhymes why you was collecting stuffed animals In a matter of months you bluff, I caught flowing Chino XL mad ass hell, I'm tired of slow rollin' (Scratching) When its time to roll [Chino XL]: (repeat 4x) Tired of slow rollin' (Scratching) Take it man! (Repeat 4x) Take the thing man! [Verse 3: Kaoz] As many people as I know, that are up there They try to be a big will, but they really scared That someone like myself voices their opinion To be truthful and do it as an option And I say option because I decide to take it now I get where I want someway, somehow And if I take it to the streets now it goes underground When I go major, I get the major runaround The power of God! (yelling) He watches over me Makes me what we are, of the Origin See, the 6-23, the ending of a game Kaoz is the name that I use, fuse To abuse and bring an abrupt end To those that are stuck in the mud I'm tired of slow rollin' (Scratching) (repeat 2x) When it's time to roll (Girl sample) Cus they envy us, they try imitate us [Verse 4: Chino XL] I'm pushing the pedal to the ground while you rewind Mine, your album's a joke but I still don't get the punch line But I figure it's cus of ignorance I'm causing the violence starts Silence in the dark! Butcher's knife is sharp! You walk thru the park! YO!!!!!!!! 6-25 is know to cause ???? foe's disaster Then I relax and laughed at cus he goes "I'm mace & plaster" So who in the hell is gonna take away my reputation I'll be the prince until I choose to leave the title vacant And personally I think I treated you mercifully Cus suckas keep making records that sound like commercials for me I laugh at your list and break your compact disk... you missed You try to get pissed and you're risking your lips to this: my fist I lay down a mine like a Palestine Einstein And keep you around cus I'm down for a shoeshine People telling me be patient, relax and be cool When my carrier is rolling like a tear, trying like and old mule Brothers make jokes, folks said we couldn't make it They said ? so I guess we had to take it Chino XL 6-25, Kaoz 6-23 For Trace 9-11 will go down in history I ain't rollin' slow [Kaoz] Yeah, I'm tired of slow rollin' [Chino XL] Yo, Profile is slow rollin, you know what I'm saying? My man Mark Goldstein is not slow rollin Rick Ruben is not slow rollin My man Dan Charnas is not slow rollin, nuh'msayin East Orange is not slow rollin [Kaoz] No, my man Clint Robbins, he's slow
