World On Wheels (Edited)

World On Wheels (Edited) - Dilated Peoples

Yo I grew up in Mid-City near World on Wheels

After Reaganomics crack came and more blood spill

I gotta tell shorties now I don't pop pills

The only ecstacy I f**k with rolls with Jalil

No grip straight line rhymes

Like the grand concourse on 149

In LA the riders ridge was Fairfax and Olympic

On the block the Ethiopians kick it (salaam)

You'll learn Angel City'll test you

I move through giving respect where respect's due

Ducking these cops who say they serve to protect you

And handlin my biz so I ain't tryin to impress you

It's mind over matter crew over money

I do strategy I don't act sporadically

I contemplate cat I move mathematically

It's Alchemist with Dilated that's family

Still a couple lessons I can teach

How the real fiends cop two each

The game is keeping d**e in the streets

So look the world on wheels

Still a couple lessons I can teach

How the real heads rock real beats

Bangin out the illest rides on the streets

Look at the world on wheels

Peace King peace haki peace queen

I only leave em in pieces if they step in the ring

They're fumbling and wondering what weapon to bring

I'm like Ice-T I know my lethal weapon'll swing

Stop the presses block the doors

Cops oppress us watch the wolves

But all the friendly fire is worse than oppression

Pressure more stressin is poured in dead presidents (Rakaa)

Fights for your rights is my pleasure

But suckers swing rulers like swords that try to measure

While Slick Rick the ruler's at war with INS yo

I hope the young fly their best yo

Hip-hop desert again it's like Busy Bee's buzzin again

My patience is thin though

I ventilate em like I cracked the window and air it out like a Hail Mary to the end zone

When I'm all out I cause panic (peace summits)

When I move stealth (it's mysteries and who-done-its)

I made mental notes of who's fam and who frontin

Mental notes of who ran sh*t and who runnin

It's mind over matter crew over money

I do strategy I don't act sporadically

I contemplate cat I move mathematically

Create to devastate crew that's family
