Act Like You Know - Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth

Here comes the hurricane  C.L. same name 
Cut by the grain when I land upon the plain 
Jah knew the Hebrew  a Papa Duke need you 
But none of the fam who saw had a clue 
Escalate the prime rate  words coagulate 
Generate the mind's state  never can deflate 
Nigger  you jigaboo  it doesn't have to be you 
Funny like a cartoon  Pepe Le Pew 
Pimp are the lyrical  g string the individual 
But the metaphysical isn't spriritual 
Straight from the heart I frame the art 
Tune up my class, real fast, very smart 
Dictate the technique, wait a minute, I speak 
Loved by my son and a kiss on the cheek 
Stutter-step the concept, blueprint, or pro 
Steady as we go so act like you know 

I stand by the rabbi, sail in Shanghai 
Always had an alibi even if I lie 
Crucial, never neutral, bare the fruitful 
Past time, another rhyme, skedaddle, Yankee Doodle 
Light skin in lovely gyp, just for the honey dip 
Here to make a megahit fit 
Don't install the pipe dream, renaissance regime 
When you run ragged I pick up the steam 
Chart on the record book, what Corey Love took the hook 
Here's a new book to civilize a crook 
Purest of the pedigree, feed 'em a line 
C.L., no Jezebel, can never sleep well 
Thick like a dred, at the Club Med 
The Mecca Don said, a fish out of water is dead 
Pete Rock, the soul brother, cruise on a flow 
Swing low and yell "Geronimo!", act like you know 

C.L. can play like Nike, come on just do it 
Pacify the Gemini, soul into it 
Beat to my feet is a lock like concrete 
Hard for the street, decipher never incomplete 
A clean editorial, rather historical 
Affordable, recordable, nifty like a portable 
Mecca is the syndrome, whe
