Act Like You Know - Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth

Here comes the hurricane, C.L.

same name

Cut by the grain when I land upon the plain

Jah knew the Hebrew, a Papa Duke need you

But none of the fam who saw had a clue

Escalate the prime rate, words coagulate

Generate the mind’s state, never can deflate

Nigga, you jigaboo, it doesn’t have to be you

Funny like a cartoon, Pepe Le Pew

Pimp are the lyrical, g-string the individual

But the metaphysical isn’t spriritual

Straight from the heart I frame the art

Tutor up my class, real fast, very smart

Dictate the technique, wait a minute, I speak

Loved by my son and a kiss on the cheek

Stutter-step the concept, blueprint, or pro

Steady as we go so act like you know

I stand by the rabbi, sail in Shanghai

Always had an alibi even if I lie

Crucial, never neutral, bare the fruitful

Past time, another rhyme, skedaddle, Yankee Doodle

Light skin in lovely gyp, just for the honey dip

Here to make a megahit fit

Don’t install the pipe dream, renaissance regime

When you run ragged I pick up the steam

Chart on the record book, what Corey Love took the hook

Here’s a new book to civilize a crook

Purest of the pedigree, feed 'em a line

C.L., no Jezebel, can never sleep well

Thick like a dred, at the Club Med

The Mecca Don said, a fish out of water is dead

Pete Rock, the soul brother, cruise on a flow

Swing low and yell «Geronimo!

«, act like you know

C.L.

can play like Nike, come on just do it

Pacify the Gemini, soul into it

Pete to my beat is a rock like concrete

Hard for the street, the cipher never incomplete

A clean editorial, rather historical

Affordable, recordable, nifty like a portable

Mecca is the syndrome, when I come back home

Boogie on a baritone, listen on a phone

Libra, the achiever, toke a reefer

C.L.

the girl pleaser, like Ebanezer

So here is the good sign, I incline

Titties with the bitties when I wine and dine

Warm like corduroy, comes the bad boy

But just like Anita, Pete or I bring ya joy

«Agoobilonians"with your knowledge

And take as said so, flow and act like you know
