Certified lyrics

[Intro: Guru, (Bilal)]
n*ggas gotta know, we've been puttin' it down
This sh*t is certified right here (Whoo! Yes! Yes)
No games with this right here
Straight to the di-dome, like this (Uhh, uhh...)

[Hook: Bilal]
This right here has been certified
For years... ahhhahhh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
He's got soul up in his blueprint, and he's ready to vocalize
So we passin' the mic your way – come on, testify!

[Verse 1: Guru]
Prepare each element with raw street intelligence
Dig the soul, this is–complete elegance
Hot beat delegates, when I spit each melon's hit
Like to build ill, like–repeat felons get
Plus I'm jazzy and like to dress to impress
It's the Baldhead buddha, with the mic caress
And I might suggest, that you broaden your mind
You spend a lot of your time dancin' to fraudulent rhymes
Like a breath of fresh air, we gonna change the pace
Not a mental slave, so save the angry face
It's the return of the mellow voiced maestro, and my flow
Eliminates the comp like Geico
Insurance – just for your body's endurance
You get more for your money, all you partyin' purists
So don't start to get nervous, now that we up in the spot
We've been certified for years, you gonna love it a lot
[Hook: Bilal]
This right here has been certified
For years... ahhhahhh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
He's got soul up in his blueprint, and he's ready to vocalize
So we passin' the mic your way – come on, testify!

[Verse 2: Bilal, as Airtight Willie, (Guru)]
Who, me?
That n*gga Jay Dee (Jay Dee)
Supplied the beat that I flow to (Uh huh)
Comin' through, with Guru (Guru)
As for me, I be the n*gga Airtight, you got to seeeeeeee
In order for you to believeeeeeee
Singin' these words, with easeeeee
Talkin' 'bout – boom - a-shaka-laka
-a-laka-laka-BOOM!
Roll the weed and lose the seeds, as*h*le
You can breathe three-hundred-and-sixty degrees
Of HEAT, sing with the soul
Straight from the streets, of Illadelph
Move your feet – ahh-HAH, pimp sh*t (That pimp sh*t)
Big whips with full clips
Got mad chicks, on my di*k
Ridin' by, so say it loud – in yo' face!

[Hook: Bilal]
This right here has been certified
For years... ahhhahhh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
He's got soul up in his blueprint, and he's ready to vocalize
So we passin' the mic your way – come on, testify!
[Verse 3: Guru]
Soulful
Tinted window whips, lots of chicks, lots of chips
Anything ain't right, then the brothers gotta flip
You "skinnydip, after a sip of Cognac" rap
Any wack wimp with whiskers, I bomb that cat
Alarm that cat, that when we slide through, abide to
The rules that's been laid down by macks, true like bibles
I'm liable, to come through, seven deep with wizzies
And ditch 'em, while other ladies whisper, "Who is he?"
Then later leave with eight new ones
Me an' Airtight Willie, 'bout to smack you silly with two guns
So hereby, I certify, don't care if you feel hurt if I
Testify, against your false words and lies
Word to God, this is my job, I'm workin' hard every minute
Movin' up in the rat race, city council to senate
So, what, you don't get it? You can't front no more
Been certified for years, can't speak to chumps no more

[Hook: Bilal, (Guru)]
This right here has been certified
For years... ahhhahhh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
He's got soul up in his blueprint, and he's ready to vocalize
So we passin' the mic your way – come on, testify!

This right here has been certified (This one right here... has been certified...)
For years... (For years...)
Ahhhahhh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah (That's right)
He's got soul up in his blueprint (Soul up in his blueprint)
And he's ready to vocalize (Ready to vocalize)
So we passin' the mic your way (Pass the mic this way)
Come on, testify! (Testify)
[Outro: Guru, with Bilal on adlibs]
Heh, like they say, it doesn't hurt to try
This here–is bonafide, baby
Certified, baby – Jazzmatazz, third edition, ha-heh
Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal
No rehearsal, certified with virtue
Respect the circle
It's me and the B-I-L-A-L
YouknowhatI'msayin?
Jay Dee, from Pay Jay
Airtight Willie, heh
From Boston to New Yiddy
All the way to Philly
Now in The D, sittin' pretty
