Pete Rock

Peter Phillips (born June 21, 1970), better known by his stage name Pete Rock, is an American record producer, DJ and rapper. He rose to prominence in the early 1990s as one half of the critically acclaimed group Pete Rock & CL Smooth. After the duo went their separate ways, Rock continued with a solo career that has garnered him worldwide respect, though little in the way of mainstream success. Along with groups such as Stetsasonic, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots and Gang Starr, Rock played a major role in the merging of elements from jazz into hip hop music (also known as jazz rap). He is widely recognized as one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time, and is often mentioned alongside DJ Premier, the RZA, and J Dilla as one of the mainstays of 1… more »

The nightcap was exiled  steadily profiled 
As the underachievin non believin' can't stand to reason 
Where's your daddy boy   to categorize the drinker 
Misunderstood to make the ordeal linger 

They label me a problem child who can't cope 
Hangin' by a thread  yes a very thin rope 
Inevitably  can never be the man can I tell ya 
Visualize and memorize him in a cellar 

Well tally ho, pip-pip, my fam's gonna catch a fit 
My father lookin' like he want to bust my lip 
But that was never good for my health 
So I take the shovel out my pocket and dig myself 

Now when I look at the man in the mirror 
I see things much more clearer my Lord 
I'm not that popular, less than a dollar 
But the ? I pack can make you holla 

I said, what you don't know could make a whole new world 
Man... listen! I'm set to sabotage premonition 
Your propaganda, crooked type of version 
Some of the things I bring, you're babblin' non-person 

Imbedded in my character, rebel nostalgia 
Uncommon valor who'd rather 
Have no man-made religion or sect 
But try to believe what you conceive may be half correct 

I shed light, to show the path in sight 
'Cause a man who can't treat you right can't teach you right 
In front of your eyes, what a surprise, and let the nature 
Rise, just for the girls and the guys 

A Phi-Slamma-Jamma when you wear a bandanna 
Peace to Pop Dukes, and long live Nana 
The formula's reality, Pete Rock's the storm 
Together, forever, yes G we got it goin' on 

Internal affairs, flippin Hollywood Squares 
In search of the Mecca many travel in pairs 
Walked the slave ship, ??the side of ningamora?? 
To support a short order when I freak it on a corner 

Five-oh cruisin, decide to pull you over 
Beefin, "Where's the Coke?" I said, "A six-pack of soda?" 
The rookie's lookin thirsty, but everything's mental 
A baseball bat, to smack Shirley in the Temple 

Agreed to meet the maker so I yelled Hail Mary's 
And flew that head, to hit The House on the Prairie 
But the past can never choose my future correctly 
I found a greater source directly 

On and on, keep it on, you chant the 
Boppin' simonized, pullin' you clockwise jammie 
To quickly skip the minimal tip, I dap for the wise I dip 
Can anyone see, phenomenally, to the last degree? 

I capitalize subliminally, wreck for positivity 
Yes my little chickadee, ready to flow with me 
Nevertheless I bless, follow me and see 
Predominantly, CL'll be, All in the Family 

God bless Marky Black, know we go way back 
The lyrics I pack is like a needle in the haystack 
CL and Pete Rock, Smooth like Dom Perignon 
Never torn, word is bond, we got it goin' on
