I’ll ignore you sellin crack, killin people, and keepin it real,
But disrespect me and my adopted fam and die young like veal.
El-P, “89.9 Detrimental,” from Company Flow’s Funcrusher Plus, 1997
I’ll ignore you sellin crack, killin people, and keepin it real,
But disrespect me and my adopted fam and die young like veal.
I don’t mind you talkin shit, just keep it in the first person.
Even when I say nothing, it’s a beautiful use of negative space.
Cause on the mic, I got more presence than attendance in a class of schizophrenics
I’ll ignore you sellin crack, killin people, and keepin it real,
But disrespect me and my adopted fam and die young like veal.
I don’t mind you talkin shit, just keep it in the first person.
