Monumental - Pete Rock, Smif-N-Wessun, Tyler Woods

Who relays it to the board and tells the engineer record

He matched me to the track like the leaves of a tree

We beautiful together like the L and the V (Louie)

My bond to the music, living for the people

You can hear our conversation through the speakers (Hear me)

Ten stacks of ink in my flesh

Spend money, get money, your boy ain’t done yet

Dropping in the drop, six forty-five

The AC on, heat forty-five

I’m hood tested, streets approve

A gemini with many moves (That's me)

I could change the colors in your ring

My Italian boys ba da boom, ba da bing (forget about it)

My work ethic is epic

You don’t have to like it but you will respect it

Celebrate till we are on top of your girl

Look at your summer, I’m on top of the world

I sit on the set, this time it’s a bet

Anything I want, you know I could get

I’m high off of life, doing it right

Empire state, view of the lights

Put your glass in the air, the sky’s the limit

Make a toast cause we here, you know how we did it

(It's monumental)

This is for the hustlers, this is for the homies

Ride through the hood with me

This is for the soldiers, this is for the riders

This is strictly for my Gs

Peep the chemisty, I’m a scientist

You see the imagery, I envision what power is

I’m a novelist, known scholars acknowledge this

Home grown, yea Tone about his biz

You know what it is, fam first, vow to my nig

See the future every time I look at my kids

Monumental, influential, incidental, them boys official

She how they do over instrumentals, became artists

The game start them

We train hard like heavyweights in the Garden

Remain humble, the jungle tear you apart

When you’re tired on your carpet, cold in your apartment

It can happen to you, it can’t happen to me

I stay on top of my game, keep an ear to the streets

Keep an ear in the streets, you can hear and repeat

Leaving truths for the youth, you can follow my feet

Celebrate till we are on top of your girl

Look at your summer, I’m on top of the world

I sit on the set, this time it’s a bet

Anything I want, you know I could get

I’m high off of life, doing it right

Empire state, view of the lights

Put your glass in the air, the sky’s the limit

Make a toast cause we here, you know how we did it

(It's monumental)

Sometimes, I be in the studio, just zoning out

Relaxed and writing lyrics down each day and out

No doubt, I used to run around NY but never without

The inspiration of hip hop before I head out

Rest in peace to Mr. Magic

If it wasn’t for Herc or Bam, we wouldn’t have this

It’s hard to get rid of me like a bad habit

Your thoughts I can read them like X-Men, embarrassing

Pete is ever lasting, consider me a high dose for aspirin

Soothing to the dome, haters, get off my throne

I’m in the zone, don’t stop me

It’s like tenth-round, Apollo Creed and Rocky, I stick and move

And stay true to what’s real

Like the Price is Right, turn back the spinning wheel

Pete Rock, he been around, doing hip hop for sound

I make history leap every single bound

I’m no clown, I get it in, you already know

From the grill of Pete Rock, niggas act like you know

I’m no clown, I get it in, you already know

From the grill of Pete Rock, niggas act like you know

It’s monumental

Celebrate till we are on top of your girl

Look at your summer, I’m on top of the world

I sit on the set, this time it’s a bet

Anything I want, you know I could get

I’m high off of life, doing it right

Empire state, view of the lights

Put your glass in the air, the sky’s the limit

Make a toast cause we here, you know how we did it

(It's monumental)
