Steal Your Soul (1992)
Chorus
Everyone steals in the 23rd century
hey yo, that's how it's meant to be
cuz stealin' aint stealin' if that shit is free
hey yo – that's how it's meant to be
I say everyone steals in the 23rd century
hey yo, that's how it's meant to be
cuz stealin' aint stealin' if that shit is free
so let me steal your soul and put it in my beat
there's no samples cleared I take what I like
you never wanna miss it when I rock the mic
I draw a crowd, get loud with the space-age funk
find a beat that rocks?
throw it in da trunk
when the King gets the mic then the juice gets loose
it's a temporal disturbance meant for your caboose
we take a beat from here, an idea from there
so don't stare, I swear, your rhymes are welfare
My rhymes are fort knox, kid; your flow's adopted
you bitin' all my rhymes always talkin' about what Mox did
or what I'm doin', or what I might be
you know my reputation and you still wanna fight me?
you're hangin out at home watchin of Teletubbies
and me and Mox are witcha girl getting hella chubbies
we rhyme through time, hit after hit
and no you can't sue us cuz we ain't stole shit
Chorus
It's nothin new to rap, it's always been the same
"boost another beat" was always part of the game
you know me kid I do it the fun way
last night I took a jet right off of the runway
stealin' aint' nothin but second nature
you can sample the King, I ain't gonna hate ya
as long as you can take the beat and make the beat strong
you don't owe me a thing when you finish the song
gimme that beeper that cellular phone
diamonds and pearls, platinum and chrome
the girlies give it up when I say I'ma share it
I leave ‘em all thinkin' that I went to Jared
I take money by the pound in large amounts
got my four finger ring with my five finger discount
how did we get to be the best?
we take what we want and then we leave the rest
