Strong Island (original 12" version)

Listen to the situation my son
I'm as serious as cancer, all fun is done
For the time, the beat will correspond with the rhymes
The two is valid, the best you will find
Living in C.I. who the hell am I
AJ Rok the juice, I get fly
Cool with the riffing guy, keep a handle
Cause if you don't I'll wax you down like a candle
B-Luv, I'm a top biller
Part time iller, permanent chiller
Son of Sam killer, the horror in the villa
Unlike the rest the best I am a thriller
Kill it or shoot it, bite it and distribute it
But either way the two's unconstituted
Styling and wilding, constantly smiling
We'll keep trooping in a place called Strong Island

I have a rep to protect, epitomes I dissect
I was born in Brookyn, New York, but now Long I's in effect
(That's word to herb) It's about out East
We got the talent, eating it up like a Sunday feast
Hearing from the doctor go get the priest
Cause as of now, emcees you're deceased
Straight from the mic all trouble released
You want a slice like a cake I'll dis you a piece
I need a scratch, now my battery's banging
Sorry for the pause didn't mean to leave you hanging
I'm good to go so that you know my words flow
I got the voice that's choice kicking in this demo
Getting fully fully paid with my man Andrew Jackson
My bank account and Ben Franklin just maxing
So I sip Coors while my fifties I sort
Once in a while I'll lounge about in the gear that I bought
Taking daily shopping sprees with major credit cards
Buying up with all disregard
Money ain't the object cause I got it to fling
My lower clock is world of Bally and the upper's chess king
Step up on the platform kid if you're so irate
We complete with defeat, it's not here to debate
Test your skills if you will don't let us trouble your fate
We're the almighty JVC Force the boss, we're so great
Strong Island

Knocking out crews by the threes and fours
Curt Cazal cut the beat while we take a short pause
Like a video game, an errorless computer
The styles profile, it's wild, improve to groove you
Move you and soothe your every emotion
Just put your trust in us and have devotion
The voices on the set is your magic potion
You'll rock to this like a ship that's in motion
Other emcees take the Goldtone and panic
Then sink the ship like it was the Titanic
Billy Taylor known to rock the mic right
Excelling through the air like the Concorde in flight
I could chill to the max or hold my place like a kite
But either way on any day I'm guaranteed to excite you
Here's a preview of our latest debut
What's coming next, don't try to answer cause you ain't got a clue
You could bite (but it's not wise) all I'll do is sue
At your expense me and B'll gain a million or two
I chill with Riunite play the corner with brews
Eat the flyest seafoods at restaurants that's new
Roll down the windows in the limo while I'm cruising the deuce
Point out a girl, diss her man then take her in for seduce
Playing the field serving no kind of use
Lingering on for the funky funky rhymes I produce
Chevy Woods is my name AKA AJ
Just shut your mouth, in this situation you ain't got say
Strong Island

You say wild boy I'm the cowboy so make my day
Like Jesse James, self-proclaimed, me and A don't play
Potent like a dime not a five or a tre
You're commercial, I'm imported, under me you will stay
On all things I pull strings, you're the board I'm the dart
In the grocery store, I'm the food, you're the cart
You're just my servant permanently designed for my needs
You're a mutt and I'm a fighter classified as full breed
How do you spell relief I spell it J-V-C
To break it down even further B-E-E-L-U-V
If you don't understand M-E you will S-double-E
I am a R-A-P-P-E-R, a real dope emcee
Yo reminisce with a bliss, to my style there's a twist
And for the ladies, this jam is sealed with a kiss
This is live, no jive, high potent from L.I
The trio made it, now you know it's got to be fly
I think so and if you don't, meet us down at the bank
Then hit the record store for Billboard and see how it ranks
Take the lump out your throat, don't try to play like we're friends
Cause all you know is that a group from Strong I did it again
Don't tell your posse that you took me out cause you're a soft hot rock
The fact to be do is that you're on my jock
Don't try to play you didn't know that I knew
I had to renovate my thing for duck suckers like you
We all know how the story goes
Time after time your jealousy's shown
Your burning up inside but the Force don't care
Signing off is A and B we're outta here like Belvedere
