Dead Certainty

RAPPER: Ha ha, Scritti Politti gettin' busy
Most definitely Lee Majors with the flava
Notify all your neighbours on ya pager
We bustin' it down just this way
From UK to the USA
Whether you be at your work or play
We bustin' it down for you y'all
It's like this, like this y'all

Come on, this one right here, it's for them knuckleheads who keep frontin'

Thinking they know everything but they know nothing
Step to the function, with the bass ackwards assumption
That Mos Def and Lee Majors ain't sumpin' bumpin' (yeah come on)
I know that look in your face, it's uncertainty
You wanna dance and act hard, it's not working B
Well who you herbin' be? You ain't serving me
Well my crew got it hot like Mercury

GREEN: I've got my suspicions
They made your mind up
(Your certainties are dead now)
Too smart to be sure
They made your mind up
(Your certainties are dead uh)
Too sure to be certain
They made your mind up
(Your certainties are dead)
Too smart to be sure
They made your mind up
(Your certainties are dead now)
I've got my suspicions

RAPPER: You can't say you know rap if you don't know me
An' don't say you know rhymes if you can't MC
The only thing I know B, is that I'm living to die
Slice the pie eighty ways and find ways to get by
While the know it alls roam the street, knowing they lie
I'm with the Scritti P O L I T T I
Tryin' to fly like R Kelly in the belly of the beast
Watch the know it alls blow it, all stuck in the streets

Stay in your seats, I'm dead, certain this sounds sweet
In a world where life's cheap, got to know where to sleep
Knowing the creep and know who's really under your sheets
And what you don't know just might hurt you, now that's deep
Change position, some listen, some be slippin'
Some trippin' and some of ya'll need ass whippin'
For talking what you don't know, here's some advice
The price for dead certainty, sometimes could be you life, like that

GREEN: I've got my suspicions
They made your mind up
(Your certainties are dead now)
Too smart to be sure
They made your mind up
(Your certainties are dead uh)
Too sure to be certain
They made your mind up
(Your certainties are dead)
Too smart to be sure
They made your mind up
(Your certainties are dead now)
I've got my suspicions

RAPPER: Some jokers can't take advice to save their life
Try to shine some light makin' it tight like that alright
In the trade of life they play the teacher, never students on the low-low
The jokers don't know what they be doin'
You confuse them with your ways an' acts and your disposition
But be the first to talk about how other cats don't listen
But that's you black, I'm speaking true fact, I seen you do that
Somebody drop a gem and you be like "For real, I knew that"

Save it, the entire approach is gettin' aged
It's part the reason why your crew will not return your pages
You're getting famous for being straight out shameless
You enter nameless and exit like some entertainer
You see that be that what there why I keep us talkin'
Whatever, just long as you tell the story walking
You want to be cerebral then use your cerebellum
'Cause for real they don't know that you slow until you tell 'em

GREEN: I've got my suspicions
They made your mind up
(Your certainties are dead now)
Too smart to be sure
They made your mind up
(Your certainties are dead uh)
Too sure to be certain
They made your mind up
(Your certainties are dead)
Too smart to be sure
They made your mind up
(Your certainties are dead now)

I've got my suspicions
Make your mind up
I've got my suspicions
Make your mind up
I've got my suspicions
Make your mind up
I've got my suspicions
Make your mind up

Sure I'm certain, I'm certain I'm sure
I won't find what I'm searching for
What you see from the grave to the cradle
Sure I'm certain, I'm certain I'm sure
I won't find what I'm searching for
What you see from the grave to the cradle

I've got my suspicions
Make your mind up
Make your mind up
Make your mind up

RAPPER: I've got my suspicions, yeah.
