Strive to Be

[Intro]

Yo man, I don’t know why everybody tryna diss our boys ABC

We ain’t havin’ it in ninety-three

‘Cause I gots mine

ABC gots theirs

And you got yours, man

Just be yourself, man

Yo, sometimes it be’s like that

Word!

[Verse 1]

First of all (Another Bad Creation)

Is catchin’ mad wreck from all (What?)

Excelleration (Now you go, boy!)

I strive the hardest

To be the smartest

Ya better believe we’re one of the baddest baby artists

(So what’s next on the agenda?) Sucka surrender

(Wait) Don’t you see who’s in the center?

(Just remember)

(Yo, how we doin’ this?) We doin’ this as the ruggedest

This wickedest

The craziest crew ya ever saw

(And you’re sure to get the war)

Give them all realistic as I get little more specific

It’s the vibe that got me open and got me feelin’ mad terrific

Always strive to have (Fun)

I always strive to do what I gotta do

Representin’ (ABC)

My whole entire crew will always strive to give a  smash hit

Yeah kid, you know the flava!

You know we got the (Shhhhh)

See, this year we’re gonna be outta there

Rippin’ all the tours

I’m gettin’ mine (So get yours!)

‘Cause there’s no need for me to

Man all these wack people comin’ out

And they don’t realize that they fallin’ off quick, man

And we ain’t even havin’ it

[Verse 2]

Second of all

I don’t gotta strive to be like anybody (Why?)

Because we’re sure to damage and represent at any party

Bet that we’ll make ‘em move around!

And ya know we makin’ em (Get down)

(Ugh!) To another bad created sound

Ridiculous (?) on the attack

Oh yeah, and as a matter of fact

We strive to come at and exact

Ya better believe it, black

Ya know it’s time for you to pursue your every intention

With more aggression, we strive to make a strong impression

With the love of all our crew

Yo, we strive to stay on track

Yo, how we doin’ that? (You know we always got eachother’s back!)

Ever since the happenin’ of my birth, yeah

I had to show the Earth exactly what my music's worth

We keep it comin’ as the nicest

And the flavor that is spiceless

We keep it hot, but the (?) is priceless

Ya best bet is to strive to be yourself

‘Cause you might even find yourself

Choppin’ up all by yourself, so never

You gotta strive to be yourself, first

Then you gotta strive to express yourself, second

And most important, you gotta strive to be all you can be in ninety-three

‘Cause ABC ain’t havin’ it

Chronic ain’t havin’ it

And none of it is havin’ it in ninety-three

Word up, boy. Yeah

All these people dissin’ us

Man, we ain’t havin’ it

[Verse 3]

Third of all

I give my everything

I give my all so you can feel just what I feel

That’s when we can have a ball (Yes, yes, y’all!)

Don’t you know who caught the fever

Like an open wide receiver (Woo)

Mr. Non-Believer gettin’ cut off like a Caesar

Everytime I say it

That you gotta do what ya gotta do

That’s how we play it (Alllllright)

You gotta strive to be the best

And get that stress up off yo chest

You know exactly

Who we are

So don’t you dare try to test! (Yes)

For every funk music is the mighty God

Bless finesse the feelin’ of the rugged till it’s time to take a rest

Ayo, persistence always help me go the distance

That’s right, money grip

I bet the world could see the difference

What kinda difference?

The one particular difference

Of me being original

Out there copy-catting from another individual

Trying to collect upon another man’s residual

You got some nerveeeee!

You need to catch the worst physical (Beatdown)

While you hidin’

And ya slippin’ and ya slidin’

I’mma catch ya, so ya never have to

I hope that sums it up in ninety-three

Strive to be all you will be

‘Cause it be’s like that in ninety-three

Another track of ABC and Busta Rhymes smack ya back production

This is Chronic

Peace and we outta here
