[Solitair]
Yo take a stroll through my town
T-Dot's the name, T-Dot's the mainframe
Burn concrete plain, the city don't change
Straight crooks with bad looks
Straight cops and hot shots and, grams to cop
My resident don't stop, but a quote to ya
Roll thick to the skin, 'cause them ones don't grin
Showing fist to the tank cousin, that ain't sweet
Third rail, burn trail, Scarborough to Rexdale
Up north to the coast, we boast and toast
Telling tales of the most reboast, while smoking
Real cats ain't choking, but face they fears with no tears
Surround beef with bears, 'cause it's all the same though
We still running from po
But at least though some of us running with dough
I say a prayer for tomorrow to come, but will it?
Try to murder my soul with a silver bullet
I'm still fit to survive for these streets I cross
Tune into the T-Dot live, check it
I'm still fit to survive for these streets I cross
Tune into the T-Dot live, yo

CHORUS

[Saukrates]
From the street to the radio, yo
After all the years of blood and tears this hustle better pay me dough
Naw mean? I seen too much
This industry got you gassed like a diesel truck
MCs who duck, spitting these rap grains insane
I put two in your brain so y'all remember the name
Drop the beat proper, street author, showstopper
I take a pause for enforce to off you with
These lyrics that I disassemble the corporate
And give these streets what they deserve to get
Yo, I push a herb to quit dough
Spit positive words that the T-ditto did
Don't take me lightly, I slide this uhh to your uhh
Still one with the poor, quick to stick the rich
The way my tongue's in your ear it's like porno flicks
Foreplay, I'm all day, always

CHORUS

[Michie Mee]
It just cut and cut true, the only thing we can do
Them bad boys wasn't wearing black they was wearing blue
Telling us we was bandulo when we band too
And they don't give a (what), they got a budget for you
Other can't sleep, don't weep, I bust like danger
No hills too steep, I just go faster
You want to go first, I stay close and go after
'Cause what go up fast come down even faster
You ain't want to dis me but do what you have to
This is our life, and we're the masters
Mass appeal and only time we reveal
Backed by many yardies
Everybody know me in this party
Canibus called, but when it get hot everything drop
Who run campaigns for hip hop, it don't stop
You know the theme, let the plot be no secret
Better believe, it, if you cop it you better peep it
