about

lyrics

I mean personally.. speaking on behalf of Slimkat & myself.. We were born in one-nine-7-8/ We were born in one-nine-7-8

As long as I respect yo sh*t & you respect mine.. Given, we can make a living when the rhythm is right, Slim & y - two brovas born in 1-9-seventy-8

1st verse

This is what I envision listen tracks, Zak he had a knack for dat since way back.. When he would tap on the MS-1 and
Now look what a brova done become wit time
Rhythm in his mind.. Most times he be quiet
All them records he acquired thru collecting them sounds
The vibrations, from the drum be ground shaking
My mans hands, dance on the pads, stamping jam after jam
Before Taxes was a plan, that me & him 1st had
Our first copies written with a sharpy, hoping folks'd listen probly when it was just a hobby
and he saved it on a floppy disc
Rare records redefined, gritty groove choppy sh•t
Spinning been inventive since beginning Slim's styling is a talent
Dat's an ocean of growth, they just a gallon
To measure cleverness u gotta use the right ruler
Mike ain't about the hype, but my man is quite cooler
then you or ur folks, beats get broke
He leak dope & if u seeking dat unique thru the speakers he spoke, it go

Hook

We in this crooked ass world where they make u walk a straight line
Pressure makes u think about the other side sometimes
And we be just two brovas born in one-nine-7-t-8

As long as I respect yo sh*t & you respect mine
Then given, we can make a living if the rhythm is right
Slim & y, two brovas born in
one-nine-7-t-8

2nd Verse

And it goes like this, me & my man.. 100 Grand
I'm on the mic while Slim'll be tapping on them pads
& we do gets down
u best believe
This is the team. Greed is supreme but we don't that intervene so whut up, me & my brova
From anova motha
Come from the gut wit this stuff cuz when we were younger
We wasn't the type to brag
Stayed on our craft
1-9-7-8'll be the year that all of this here began, tell em one mo gin..

Hook

We in this crooked ass world where they make u walk a straight line
Pressure makes u think about the other side sometimes
And we be just two brovas born in one-nine-7-t-8

As long as I respect yo sh*t & you respect mine
Then given, we can make a living if the rhythm is right
Slim & y, two brovas born in
one-nine-7-t-8
