World On Wheels Lyrics - Neighborhood Watch - Dilated Peoples

[Verse 1] 

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 fuck 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 

[Chorus] 

Still a couple lessons I can teach 

How the real fiends cop two each 

The game is keeping dope 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 

[Verse 2] 

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 

[Chorus] 

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 shit 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 

[Chorus]
