Three Five - Emulate

Rakim in the 80s
Cube in 91
Snoop in 93
Pac in 96
You know legendary
Shit like that
I got dreams
To rhyme like the greats
Though Im coming up
In the game
I know I really can't wait
I wanna sound like
Them legends I knock
Straight greatness
Straight greatness each and every time
I got dreams
To rhyme like the greats
Though Im coming up
In the game
I know I really can't wait
I wanna sound like
Them legends I knock
Straight greatness
You know them legends that we all grew up on
I wanna rhyme like Hov
Did in 96
That's the year
I got my first CD
In this bitch
The thing with Hip Hop
We got our own legends
Most of them still alive
Though many of them
Resting in heaven
I was raised in
The golden era
94 to 96
Shit was different in
The golden era
Wu Tang and a Tribe Called Quest
Snoop dropped his debut
Then him and Dre
Took over the west
I'm tryna rhyme
Like them niggaz
Did back then
We know what was going on
And how it influenced they pen
Shit was real
Just to say the least
Im talking back in 98
When X was off his leash
Some niggaz from the N.O.
Said it wasn't No Limit
Shoutout to Scarface
Rap A Lot
Was all up in it
I spark a raw cone
Sit back and remember
Every MC that raised me
I still remember for real
I got dreams
To rhyme like the greats
Though Im coming up
In the game
I know I really can't wait
I wanna sound like
Them legends I knock
Straight greatness
Straight greatness each and every time
I got dreams
To rhyme like the greats
Though Im coming up
In the game
I know I really can't wait
I wanna sound like
Them legends I knock
Straight greatness
You know them legends that we all grew up on
Born in the 80s
Raised in the 90s
I ain't buzzing right now
But fuck a label
That's tryna sign me
Im tryna rhyme like Ghost n Rae
Taking niggaz on a journey
Like they did
With the purple tape
I step behind this mic
And strap on a cape
Tryna rhyme like Nipsey
On Victory Lap
So I can't wait
I know my time coming
Fuck you
If you don't believe it
Me against the world
Aquemini you best believe me
I'm crowned different
So my throne look different
Bunch of Brazilian bitches
Smoking weed they naked
Its a difference
I'm tryna rhyme like
Rios and Wallace
My style middle finger to you
So I don't need a stylist
Im tryna rhyme like
The best of em
Or even better
Niggaz talking these stats
We concentrating on cheddar
I'm tryna rhyme like
Big L Guru and Nas
The highest caliber
Cause we don't fuck
With other guys
