Open, Sesame, steppin' through the mist, it's the specialist
Comin' to box and flooded with rocks
We'll get down for mine, the kind that makes cement feel us
Standin' in the company of killers

Follow my trail as I walk through the valley of death
Left, to fear no evil, 'cause what I grip is legal
I'm hot like yard, the point guard of this group, on the loop
Never your right, raising all your game type tonight

Entering the level of high gear
You'd think it took a Bob Marley spliff to get here
Front to rear God of the drugs that you're hearin'
While my neighbors say we need to be jailed for rackateerin'

Now appearin', Pete Rock and CL Smooth, to the jugular
Now you got Mecca and the Soul Brother
Slightly, you might raise a hair of doubt
But if we don't rock the spot, 'The Sun Won't Come Out'

Check it out, without Pete Rock and CL Smooth
Without, 'Anger in the Nation'
Yo, without 'Mecca and the Soul Brother'
You know, 'The Sun Won't Come Out'

Without Pete Rock and CL Smooth
You know we can't, 'Reminisce'
If we don't, 'Straighten It Out'
You know, 'The Sun Won't Come Out'

Un-chained heat, I hustle on the street or beat
To keep you on the edge of your seat, you consumer
A QB-like boomer, the ultimate team
But if I wake up in another woman's bed, I'ma scream

I'm settin' up shop pop to overthrow Castro
Chokin' over Noriega's Garcia Vegas
Guess who supplies the pies and dope triples
Now she leaks *** cheeks, pearly whites and ***ty ******s

Would CL ever trick loot on PC?
Even if I never had sonny boy I disagree
Cut the small talk, I give more marks
Than a school of sharks on attack
So keep your *** back

When it's wack you get a thumbs down
Another record deal wasted, listen man
Find another occupation man, here's the persuasion
Blazin' one amazin route that's all about
'The Sun Won't Come Out'

Yo, so check it out, with Pete Rock and CL Smooth
You gotta, 'Act Like You Know'
'If It Ain't Rough, It Ain't Right' kid
You know, 'The Sun Won't Come Out'

Without Pete Rock and CL Smooth
You can't, 'Reminisce' to 'T.R.O.Y.'
If we don't, 'Straighten It Out'
You know, 'The Sun Won't Come Out'

I rule chicks off acoustics, watchin' the Knicks
We up ten, but need to stop shootin' bricks
Put the jailhouse funk in under stars
Till the lines on my looseleaf, look like some metal bars

My forecast hits a megablast and what I invent
A pack of bloodhounds could never get the scent
Payin' off the beast now my bills increase
If there's a five dollar rock sold in the park, I want a piece

'The Sun Won't Come Out', unless the crowd start this
'Cause if it was my choice, you all dance in darkness
'Cause any verse rips a total eclipse for sun rays
Anyways was the phrase back in my younger days

Now the God displays the attribute, dealin' with heat
From the ba*****t, enterin' the streets you meet
Pete Rock and CL Smooth and when you see what it's about
You know, 'The Sun Came Out', now p*** my shades

Yo, without Pete Rock and CL Smooth
Without, 'Anger in the Nation'
Yo, without, 'Mecca and the Soul Brother'
You know, 'The Sun Won't Come Out'

Without Pete Rock and CL Smooth
You gotta, 'Act Like You Know'
'If It Ain't Rough It Ain't Right' kid
You know, 'The Sun Won't Come Out'

Without Pete Rock and CL Smooth
We can't, 'Reminisce'
Yo, if we don't, 'Straighten It Out'
You know, 'The Sun Won't Come Out'

Without Pete Rock and CL Smooth
Without, 'Ghettos of the Mind'
If you know what I'm talkin' about
You know, 'The Sun Won't Come Out', so check it

One two, Pete Rock and CL Smooth for ninety-four
Breakin' you off somethin' proper
So check it, peace y'all
