The Search

Cast out don't ask about a man and his cash route
Especially if he have not my intricate plot
Raise money Some do it in terms of good
Others take money pounds and quarter keys of weight money
But forsake money? behind the gate thunny
Cause out here is ugly There's cake to replace companies
Yay to negate flunkies My reign in the games coming
Like Christ cause I feel that I'm one in the same dummies
My life? No example. Treat it like a raffle
Till my numbers called? I'll forever ball
Back against the wall, nails pierced my flesh
Yes. Crucified, Set to rise I utilize
My vocab with street cred sharp as a double edge
Ignite like a bolt of lightning make moves with Wisemen
Keep it live Peace to Mike Tyson
Hate to see a champ when he beat I'm in rare form
You've been warned! I belong to the streets
Phillion so complete I'm the illest around
Never get a swelled head So I'm fitting my crown
Never switched gimmicks and styles
Still getting down with the same click Since 86
Regret none Won't change shit it's all basic
So on and so on the infamous
Life and times Strenuous Line for line
I'm unmatched Face the naked truth In the booth I'm super man
Sip the 80% proof Oops Did I lose you man
No clue of how I do this Sell your soul be a Judas
Now a slave to his own music
Gotta keep a level head Rarely do I lose it
Fuck pop when hip hop's a whole movement

I searched far and wide past the upper decks
The slums and projects
High off the best weed and Hennessey
A moving target till they hit me
Make it harder for my enemies
Since 96 I've been climbing the fence
I, played on the squad yeah I'm stuck on the bench
I'm, losing my patience Still focused If not
Its Back to the basics Yeah Back to the spot
Yeah! Back to the hustle To the grind and muscle
It's where they want you Got goon itchin to touch you
It's a struggle Still I keep keeping on
Peeping all you haters before they even lead us on
Don't like me? Try me I ride deep
Keep our minds clean while eyein the crime scene
Listen for sirens in an act for the paper chips
Motivation but my name ain't Tip
I play the game slick Sorta maintain shit
Yo they like dude is real but never made hits
How could they say this? Now it's time to blaze shit
Now I got 'em saying it's hard to pick a favorite
My name is Phillies My aim is simply
Simplified by who I came with, The Search, The Search
