It’s time to recognize the best and make way,
N.G.A, New Industry North, we make waves,
Rugged One on the beat, to make it complete,
And you know it’s so sweet, no-one else can compete.
I’m the one you see in nightmares, eating off ya plate,
Beat you proper, cause I see you prosper, offa moving weight,
Not a petty thief or amateur, I won’t make a mistake,
Cause I’m fueled by the cake, not the envy or the hate,
My mind-state is straight, right out of the gate,
Deny me - you’ll pull my knife out of your face,
I’m jailhouse, no doubt, I move like a tank,
so Institutionalized, that I still fabricate shanks,
on the outs, if anybody step like whuddup,
they’ll find sock fiber, broken soap, and pieces of a cup,
Ngajuana, the messenger of death, ya heard,
Don’t talk, or your mouth’ll make a mess of the curb,
My speech ab-surd, murks lesser emcees words,
Definitely first, a weapon on each verse,
Blessed to be heard, with text, best never signed,
You ain’t impressed with me yet? Then you’re deaf and you’re blind.
It’s time to recognize the best and make way,
N.G.A, New Industry North, we make waves,
Rugged One on the beat, to make it complete,
And you know it’s so sweet, no-one else can compete.
It’s time to recognize the best and make way,
N.G.A, New Industry North, we make waves,
Rugged One on the beat, to make it complete,
And you know it’s so sweet, no-one else can compete.
Step up to get laid down, see ya when I see I ya,
on the street or in the club, either way I’ll beat ya’,
I’m a feature, you hear my name spoken on the radio,
Different from a label ho, black but look native though,
I ain’t here to save a ho, burn ‘em at the stake,
I support stop snitching, dream of murdering the jake,
My friends think I’m too thug, mom thinks I’m too buzzed,
They way people act, you’d think pot was a new drug,
I’m hot but I’m too smug, I dodged too many,
That’s why I sit and write, and trade thoughts for pennies,
I mash up, every single beat they send me,
it’ll be twenty years before you see Me ending,
and that’s if I stop writing now, but I won’t
cause I’ll still be writing hits when I’m a ghost,
you think that you can go a round with me, just don’t,
I’m a way different type of dude when I’m provoked.
It’s time to recognize the best and make way,
N.G.A, New Industry North, we make waves,
Rugged One on the beat, to make it complete,
And you know it’s so sweet, no-one else can compete.
It’s time to recognize the best and make way,
N.G.A, New Industry North, we make waves,
Rugged One on the beat, to make it complete,
And you know it’s so sweet, no-one else can compete.
It’s time you recognized the best, take a look this face,
Get a picture in concert, or off myspace,
I got no place else to go, but straight up,
If you’re girl’s not home by four, don’t wait up,
Cuz I talk like a pro, you best believe it,
Or I’ll talk your girl into keeping secrets,
I’ll rock her world, til she wants to leave ya,
Turn your run-down chick, to a beautiful diva,
You can’t compete I’m one-step ahead of ya,
A Promising career, I’m one sec from deadin it,
You step to Nick, then I suggest you’re equipped,
Cause it’s easy for me to show your rep an eclipse,
Rugged One on the beat, for New Industry North,
I swear, dude must be one with the force,
I’m never run of the mill, we running the course,
Later in life, I bet we run you down in a Porsche.
It’s time to recognize the best and make way,
N.G.A, New Industry North, we make waves,
Rugged One on the beat, to make it complete,
And you know it’s so sweet, no-one else can compete.
It’s time to recognize the best and make way,
N.G.A, New Industry North, we make waves,
Rugged One on the beat, to make it complete,
And you know it’s so sweet, no-one else can compete.
