Pete Rock, Skyzoo, Styles P - Carry the Tradition Lyrics

(Clap your hands to what he's doing)
Ayo Pete, man
They gotta pardon us for being on this city shit
The way we are (on tempo, okay?)
Either they do or they don't, right?

I tell 'em, pardon me, my pardon is mausoleum flow
Bury me in one by the garden and floor seat me though
Seated at a table where no one wanted to see me though
But couldn't blot it as far as how this graffiti go
Pen wise tell em I'm more Skeme
So know it took up two whole cars if you saw me
It all be, hoodie season in 4 door jeeps
And Darryl Morey at the Nike campus, more 3s
All me, same vibe since I was fourteen
Ain't much change and that explains who applaud me
Applause mean
Heavy is the head where the crown and where the cross be
Got it to a T off the ground like it's a cross street
Fly kid off of a hybrid support team
And superheroes that get their powers from where the port be
Same rule apply with a line and what the cost be
Reason being for being what all the talk be, right?

I'm just here to carry the tradition that I been on
Heavy is the crown but, love the way fit on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on
I'm just here to carry the tradition that I been on
Heavy is the crown but, love the way fit on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on
Carry the tradition

Blue snapback, two letters on it (NY)
In the hatchback, used to move crack packs
My hood do numbers, like NASDAQ
Lag draggin' the rap, see the future in flashbacks (see)
Put my shit on a flash drive and take a fast drive
You can travel the past times, I'm past wise
I'm the best in the game, flame any rapper you name
I'ma say that shit for the last time
Told my nigga Skyzoo, "When I die, I'ma go to Skyzoot"
Yeah I'm grounded but I'm getting high, too
Goes the best nigga is the sky blue?
But sometimes is great when them niggas with the K slide through
I did it for the town and I did it for the crown
Just to put it on the ground and pissed on it
Was a arrogant nigga, ignorant nigga, militant nigga
Grab a gun and click on it, ghost nigga

I'm just here to carry the tradition that I been on
Heavy is the crown but, love the way fit on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on
I'm just here to carry the tradition that I been on
Heavy is the crown but, love the way fit on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on
Carry the tradition (okay)

My aura, been the same as you thought, like who you think?
From an era where you turn up the nerve to loot a brinks
Back when it was word for word with Cuban Linx
And I became Miles Davis meets whoever styled Rae
And I decoded how they gave it
You know it from the moment that you play it
I'm an OG Snow Beach statement
From knowing what be waiting
Eyes all on the dough, Freemason
And everyone you know free basing
Live outta the basement so this is all free throws
Your fam couldn't get off the ground, they all Rio
I kick it and toss reloads, Brooklyn New York ego
I can't pass the Lo store, I'm Porfido
You know me tho, all on my bodega shit
I'm Puff and Nas on the awning while Hype taping it
Know the way I aim at it, whether at the camera
Or whatever in the way of it, you'll never find a stray in it

I'm just here to carry the tradition that I been on
Heavy is the crown but, love the way fit on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on
I'm just here to carry the tradition that I been on
Heavy is the crown but, love the way fit on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on

I'm just here to carry the tradition that I been on
Heavy is the crown but, love the way fit on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on
I'm just here to carry the tradition that I been on
Heavy is the crown but, love the way fit on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on
Did it for the town from the moment that I been on
Carry the tradition

(Clap your hands to what he's)
(On tempo, okay?)
(Clap your hands to what he's doing)
(On tempo, okay?)
(Clap your hands to what he's doing)
