Return Of The Mecca - Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth

To know the truth is to know the self 
To know the self is to know the Mecca 
Mecca's not a state of mind or a place 
Mecca is a way of life 
It is the answer to all confusion 
The attribute  I'd die for [or Adolfo] 
Abdullah  Mohammed 
Makes way for the return of the Mecca 
Salaam 

Return of the Mecca (whispered 8x) 

Be sure to export the hardcore that came before Columbus 
Discover no other serve the soul on a dish 
Okay means official, kid, not decrepit 
Though the lyrical dynamo set the flow when I do so 
Entice the price with the mic device 
Hit ya slice so precise that you never hurt twice 
Fierce how I pierce when you near the frontier 
A world premiere so put the armor on your gear 
The overlord aboard with the two-edged sword 
Adored and restored, now the young gun toward 
Preserve the herb, never kick it to the curb 
Vocalize a verb, and the return of the word 
Mecca, the reincarnated selector 
From the whole agenda, something to remember 
A richer voice than Robin Leach 
I'll reach with a speech, no bleach so you can't impeach 

Monumentally smooth, I'll prove it sincerely 
To barely when you're near me clearly never sound weary 
Maintain the gravity, assault and battery 
So sweet the repeat you're bound to catch a cavity 
My ability to wreck a facility 
C.L.'s potential, smooth n' sequential 
Deep in every measure, hit the lotto for the beggar 
The midnight wrecker, return of the Mecca 

Return of the Mecca (whispered) 

Uh, understand the Mecca in command 
Part of the plan is the man who built the land He began 
A scripture ripped out the piece of a scroll 
Better the know,
