[grand puba]
Now a lot of people think this is easy as it looks
Books and books of rhyme concepts and hooks
Session to session to get thoughts manifested
Stressin and stressin to hit the world with a blessin
Lot of people often ask, "puba how you givin back? "
The way I give back is through the knowledge of my raps
Like a gem, for all my people caught out on a limb
Who be givin in, caught out on a stem, who dont wanna win
"im feelin you I know you gettin down like that
But what Im sayin dog is let me hold a little somethin black!
Ill hit you back!" cmon dead that, thats the tenth time
I heard that -- all you know is gimme I work hard for every penny
That I make -- video and tape
Lp and cd, if I fall, you feedin me?
No dough to spread, always keep a level head
Long as my seeds get fed, it wont go to my head, so..
"dont let it go your head, no!"
Everybody love a star, when he on top
"dont dont let it go your head, no!"
Nobody comes around when the star start to drop
"dont let it go your head, no!"
Strive to help others who help themselves
"dont let it go your head, no no no no no!"
Knowledge of self, and good health and wealth

The ladies are datin, no question but you cant tell her that
Cause subconciously, we put our hand out
Like Im that atm cat, drop me off at chase
Earring in the navel like you sex-u-al
Royalty, while the whole loyalty means [shit]
Get wreck in the kitchen like she were on the cooking channel
And didnt have a [nigga] in the car do
Got ? ? ? shes a mother to be, I hope theyre twins
Give me a whole tribe
And be as sexy as janet was on the cover of vibe
She slick talk, playin you
Well she got a girlfriend that used to tap
Back when, so she always worryin with you
Tell her hold it down ma, I give you high ranks
Sometimes you wild but I guess thats your style
If you lay up in my high rise, will you stay wise?
Will the slave thighs open your eyes, girl..
"dont let it go your head, no!"
Dont believe those jealous type cats
"dont dont let it go your head, no!"
Cause Im the one makin some late night cash
"dont let it go your head, no!"
I told you girl my home is my castle
"dont let it go your head, no no no no no!"
Understand it wont be no hassle

I heard your single on the battle of the beats
It won five nights, I bet you had the time of your life
Workin so hard, and so long, to make a record
Finally to make a song people respected
Collect the dough at a show as you sip the mo
Now you hittin the flo, you never hit befo
Got you trippin, how much better could it get?
Got the leather with the work check, all up in the whip
Theyre all legitimate, callin it what its really not
This is just one single you got, thats really hot
Tomorrow it could bust just like a blood clot
Leave you in the dust with your body to rot
Another party to rock, if its you or if its me
It doesnt matter cause it just wont stop
Dont let your gray matter pop
Cause when you release the album
If they dont cop, you gonna get dropped, so..
"dont let it go your head, no!"
Cause one single dont make you a hit
"dont dont let it go your head, no!"
Stay true to who you are dont never forget
"dont let it go your head, no!"
Keep your feet on solid ground
"dont let it go your head, no no no no no!"
Cause what goes up, must come down, uhh
"dont let it go your head, no!"
"dont dont let it go your head, no!"
"dont let it go your head, no!"
"dont let it go your head, no no no no no!"
