[Intro]
And you don't stop
I'm unable to stop
And you don't stop
I'm with the sure shot
It's the sure shot
Can't even stop
And you don't stop
I'm with the sure shot
[Verse: Posdnous]
Wake up with a voice in my head
Get cooked and fed, tell my feet to get up out of bed
On the beat of a new day
Molasses in the water, but the gas is in the tall (The sure shot)
Give me the fuel
I'm a hawk ready to get the worm from out the New York City apples I earned
Rotten to the core
You could never ignore, frontin' the shot that you get
Hearing fly fresh spit, but the lists got me like top five on the radio
Is that good enough, where I'm slated?
But the voice talk to the battery in my chest (And you don't stop)
So I keep moving at my best
Cindy said, "If y'all stop, then Dave stops"
And that wouldn't be the sure shot (Sure shot)
So we keep implementing that gift
The D.A.I.S.Y. age lived, Cracker Jack box, scratch, sniff
Graveyard shift, studio cooks
Up from out of the dens of the crooks who converted to a better way
And have they own inner voice ready for when the day
Come out dry, we more than meets the eye 'cause
In the belly of the East, we were born
Shot him in the light when the get-right's drawn
Fundamental pawns, we're not
We're on the chessboard playin'
And the appetite always weighs in
Rays in the sky
Shuffled in the heat after gray clouds have a good cry
Caught 'em off guard with the seeds that we drop
When we talkin' that shit, they (Rockin', don't stop)
So we kept on going
All the while knowing it could start an evolution of people minds growin'
A life been what we pledged, but
Some young ones don't think we got that edge
Sayin', "OG ,we don't hear you" (Man, we ain't tryna hear all that)
Tellin' us you a pioneer means you have American pie nowhere near you, you broke (Broke-ass nigga)
Mase threw 'em in the yolk and pulls out machine guns and lasers
Just kiddin', but he did have a razor
Cuttin' eardrums while fingering the fader
Sooner than later, they saw
These Long Island boys stood the test that the time serves raw
[Bridge: Posdnous]
And yeah, you don't stop (Yeah, you don't stop)
And we don't stop (Yeah, you don't stop)
De La, we don't stop (Yeah, you don't stop)
'Cause we're the sure shot
[Interlude: Maseo, Hope, Posdnous & Trugoy]
Sure shot indeed
Hey, Hope, tell them what this still is
This is still Spitkicker
And what do we put in our music?
Art Official Intelligence, or simply, AOI
No doubt, and we are still making art
That will forever remain official and filled with intelligence
And remember
When It's Pos and Maseo you see
The magic will always remain three
Because that magic is simply De La
And staying true to that magic hasn't always been easy
Even Dave said
Often the real true soldiers just don't get that shine like they should
But tell yourself, "I'm staying true to myself"
And keep feeling the energy and the vibe
So you keep giving off the right vibrations
Yeah, 'cause there's high stakes being played around the world
And it's understandable to be rooted in the present
Not certain of what will happen in the near future
But you know what?
Just be ready to get that feeling back
The memories of the good times
And don't run away from the bad ones either
'Cause it's all a part of life
Indeed
Relating as we balance on the waters of the world
Navigating days that are sunny and calm, as well as stormy
Basically, you gotta learn to balance during sunny storms
[Outro: DJ Premier]
Wait a minute, wait a minute
It sounds dope, but it's in the wrong key
It should sound like this
