Pete Rock

Peter Phillips (born June 21, 1970), better known by his stage name Pete Rock, is an American record producer, DJ and rapper. He rose to prominence in the early 1990s as one half of the critically acclaimed group Pete Rock & CL Smooth. After the duo went their separate ways, Rock continued with a solo career that has garnered him worldwide respect, though little in the way of mainstream success. Along with groups such as Stetsasonic, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots and Gang Starr, Rock played a major role in the merging of elements from jazz into hip hop music (also known as jazz rap). He is widely recognized as one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time, and is often mentioned alongside DJ Premier, the RZA, and J Dilla as one of the mainstays of 1… more »

Word to what they showed us, word to a duffle bag
Word to how you know us, word to the love for that
Word to what they showed us, word to a duffle bag
Word to how you know us, word to the love for that, word to it

Word to defying the odds
And colliding with dollar signs or with colliding with God
For the crowd gathering 'round to see how this evolves
And being able to say don't nobody got it like y'all
Got it now and got it forever if timing is y'alls
May it lock like straight drop off how you can bond
The bond thicker than what they sit up on top of the charge
They toss if you come across with a rock of the bomb
We talking thicker than that, we talking divvying that
Accordingly until the corner be where they christen you at
We talking knowing this thing of y'alls got a vision attached
Sitting in an unmarked car taking pics in the back
Vision gets expensive but ain't shit that a trip to the stash
Couldn't cover so if you should love what they pictured you as
Let it run 'til it becomes what you zip in the bag
This could reach a hundred a week if there's gift in your gab
Talk cheap, unless the talk be, centered on knowing all these
Bilingual remarks be, flipping into new car keys
Keys open doors in Virginia and that's in arms reach
You bring that back to the roof top in a heart beat
Doug E. Fresh performances, confetti through all of it
Easier to throw it and regrow it when the morning hit 
Legends never die they just rest long
Dapper Dan vest on, luggage never stepped on

Word to what they showed us, word to a duffle bag
Word to how you know us, word to the love for that
Word to what they showed us, word to a duffle bag
Word to how you know us, word to the love for that
Word to what they showed us, word to a duffle bag
Word to how you know us, word to the love for that
Word to what they showed us, word to a duffle bag
Word to how you know us, word to the love for that
Word to it (Richie)

And then the balance get all in the way
And you relying on your talents is all that remains
This shit is nothing you would've pictured would walk into frame
You was just given what you was given and taught to relate
So you related like no one ever had done before
Such allure, being 24 and could cover Forbes, gun and all
And the same vision attached is still sitting in the back
But now joined by the buildings that's wrapped
'Round the pictures that you would flick like where the memories at
And it was love, it was love the way the city reacts
The shit that legends are made of, and mothers be afraid of
It all get assembled in time for your first bake up
All of it resembles just how they wanted to shape us
Call it what you choose just know it's catered to you
And me and him and her all of us off the stoop
And innocence disappears and all of it hit the news
And Henny spill on the stairs in thought of what you would do
And the ones who wasn't there get taught to think shit is cool
They put us in front of it, like do what you want with it
Made inspiration from weighing like how you loving it?
True indeed, do believe it was written
Before you made a decision to orchestrate in the kitchen
Legends never die they just rest long
Dapper Dan vest on, luggage never stepped on

Word to what they showed us, word to a duffle bag
Word to how you know us, word to the love for that
Word to what they showed us, word to a duffle bag
Word to how you know us, word to the love for that
Word to what they showed us, word to a duffle bag
Word to how you know us, word to the love for that
Word to what they showed us, word to a duffle bag
Word to how you know us, word to the love for that
Word to Richie
