And lay down law from state to state"   > Run D.M.C. 
(repeat 4X) 

Check it out one time 
"We skate on suckers who perpetrate..." 
State to state  state to state 

[Dug Infinite] 
Now you got to tell me right now  is you man or meese? 
Is it man or beast  cause I plan to release 
the rent essentials  what's my name, confidential 
Na nah don't tell a soul but I sold my credentials 
Skipper off my team, everybody Top Gun 
Fortify the army, you can't beat us with a pop gun 
I stop one allowed with one thought on my mind 
Number ten is a hero take that one and make him zero 
That's law, word to Shapiro, Infinite's a colonel 
Now put that in your journal better yet in your eternal 
We heavy like a sledgehammer, with Know the Ledge grammar 
A bad mamma jamma all the way to Alabama 
Chi-Town, where we don't fight over coasts 
Cause the one that's in the middle is the one that see the most 
No time for that (word) we burn cells, no time for fat 
Let's say you like brain cells, we like state to state 

"We skate on suckers who perpetrate 
And lay down law from state to state" --> Run-D.M.C. 
(repeat 3.5X) 

[Common] 
I, gain... ground 
Through my, pain... I came to bring it 
I brought it, to the forefront, work in the back 
Beauty Shop with the storefront 
Hyde Park beeper chicks with the hardcore cunts 
Didn't grow up ghetto where I'm tryin to get to is the same as you 
I ain't a player, but I'm in the game with you 
It's people in my city, that's just as lame as you 
Laid the framework now at the door my name work 
Free drinks attention paid, that's how the game work 
My flow became land, with mathematics 
I reign supreme like the Rainman 
Piss in unknown spots, givin dap with the same hand 
Raps overlaps and fill gaps in the rap industry 
For those whose tired of the same similies 
Hood stories, and songs to homies in penetentiaries 
Chances I take over breaks, to make shit interesting 
My city'll hold it down like bends in intersections 
Wanted to say F*ck the Police, I ain't had no protection 
Got the License to Ill, the real one got suspended in time 
Brother you'll see it ain't all about the promo 
_Source_ rating groupies and album photos 
A stick man with a message and a mag should be my logo 
Think I'll start sportin that instead of Polo, uhh... yo 

"We skate on suckers who perpetrate 
And lay down law from state to state" 
(repeat 3.5X) 

[No I.D.] 
... I decipher data 
Computer program the ill chatter 
Brain stimulize sparks everytime I reply 
My telescopic type topics smash your planet when I drop it 
Eighty-eight popped it and locked it 
Ninety-seven time to rock it, grown man status 
I'm pushin three-zero, I plan to be the baddest 
like hip-hop hero in the game MC 
And makin sure that what you seein opens up your mind 
When I kick the hard to find, strategic, rhyme design 
Supersede your average line, intertwine when I combine 
Elevatin mankind, attract a scholar 
I convert poetry to dollars, a risk taker 
Money maker got no collar, this one nigga asked me 
Well who you be? I be a store ownin real-estate flippin MC 
Just makin beats on the side 
Another way to survive, I turn around artists 
Portfolio diversified, it's obvious 
I ain't your average hip-hopper 
to get up on the microphone and can't come proper 
I be the MC to keep the clubs cold jumpin 
I be the MC that's sayin somethin never nothin 

"... and lay down laws from state to state"
