Pay Attention Lyrics - Dilated Peoples

(Babu mixing) 

"Let...let...let...let me tell you somethin" 

"I'm 'bout to set it off, society watch me while I do it" 

(Iriscience) 

Yo, yo, I buck shots, lick shots, take shots, give shots 

Headliners know, this year we switch spots 

Check it, I spit it for the righteous and the wretched 

First came the live show, next came the records, (next) 

With wax collectors with rap perfectors 

With scratch, with dance, with graf protectors 

Worldwide travelers in your sector 

DJ Babu, come down selector! 

I raw here, I explore here 

You like that, where that comes from there's more there 

This is warfare and we score fair 

We don't stop 'til our flag swings in your air 

I rap to build or I rap to ruin 

Your whole career, yo, watch what you doin 

(Chorus-Babu mixing) [Iriscience talking] 

"Let...let...let...let me tell you somethin" 

"I'm 'bout to set it off, society watch me while I do it" 

[Pay attention] 

"I'm 'bout to...I'm 'bout to....I'm 'bout to... 

I'm 'bout to set it off, society watch me while I do it" 

[Watch and observe] 

"I'm 'bout to...I'm 'bout... 

I'm 'bout to set it off, society watch me while I do it" 

[PAY ATTENTION!] 

"Watch me while I do it 

Watch...watch...watch me while I do it" 

[Watch and observe] 

"Let...let...let...let me tell you somethin" 

"I'm 'bout to set it off, society watch me while I do it" 

(Iriscience) 

Yo, yo 

I'm a poet, with the warrior spirit inside 

Chokin rappers out like Hickson in "Pride" 

We all share the same sun givin us light 

But remember, sink or swim, time winnin's a fight 

Expansion Team takes rows, takes oceans, takes flight 

Then takes over the stage 'til the morning breaks night 

Word of mouth crew, make sure we pay right 

Then Hendrix takes over my body, I blaze mics 

Spray 3-d outlines and highlights 

I know lowlifes that are livin the high life 

At great heights I exercise my rights 

So much smoke, when I'm this high, I sky-write 

Raaka raps to build, or raps to ruin 

Your whole career, yo, watch what you're doin 

(Chorus) 

I rock hills and valleys, rap shows and ralleys 

Record stores and schools, live shit from Cali 

Take it to the people, cut out the middle men 

Like Chuck said, "I don't rhyme for the sake of riddlin" 

I rap to build or I rap to ruin 

Your whole career, yo, watch what you're doin 

(Chorus) 

(Iriscience talking) 

Babu, Iriscience 

Pay attention, UK y'all, USA y'all, Japan y'all, Japan y'all 

France y'all, France y'all......
