1	There's a lot of people out here who just don't know						There's a lot of people out here	1

12	En route to the club where girls need the quenchin'						En route to the club	12
13	Diamonds on your wrist, sunroof top						Where girls need the quenchin'	13
14	But niggas out front makin' guns go pop						Diamonds on your wrist	14
15	So the spot gets shut but on to the next						Sunroof top	15
16	'Cuz your ears get vexed when they don't get the fix 'cuz						But niggas out front	16
17							Makin' guns go pop	17
18	(These are the brakes)						So      the spot gets shut	18
19	It be your listenin' pleasures while you're doin' your chores						But on to the next	19
20	(These are the brakes)						'Cause your ears get vexed	20
21	No matter where you from, it's for you and yours						When they don't get the fix cause	21
1								1
22	(These are the brakes)						[These are the brakes]	22
23	Bringing it back to the brakes like the, 'Yes, yes, y'all'						It be your listenin pleasure	23
24	(These are the brakes)						While you're doin your chores	24
25	So let it be your anthem when you're havin' a ball						[These are the brakes]	25
26							No matter where you from	26
27	Well, it's silly of me to think that I						It's for you and yours	27
28	Would never get a chance to see a piece of this pie						[These are the brakes]	28
29	I sat dead in front of speakers thinkin' that could be me						Bringing it back to the brakes	29
30	Anticipatin' open microphones so I could emcee						Like the 'yes yes y'all'	30
31	Had a catalogue of raps impressin' all the 'round-the-wayers						[These are                                       the brakes]	31
32	Before I went to bed included rhymes into my prayers						So let it be your anthem	32
33	But that rhyme is all on paper, I want my song on vinyl plates						When you're havin' a ball	33
2	I dreamin' hits and doin' shows, makin' my niggas spines shake							2
34							Well it's silly of me	34
35	Expectin' nuttin' but a little bit of radio play						To think that I	35
36	Gettin' diced on 1 and 2's by the best DJ's, hey						Would never get a chance to see	36
37	Time was kinda tight but still I dotted on the line						A piece of this pie	37
38	And some expected me to start buhlooning in the mind						I sat dead                            in front of speakers	38
39	Seein' spaces and places that I couldn't pronounce						Thinkin'                      that could be me	39
40	But still I had the pulleys to make all the bullies bounce						Anticipatin' open microphones	40
41	With the blessings of the great we took it from state to state						So I could emcee	41
42	'Cuz we landed on the good foot, we got our biggest brake 'cuz						Had a catalogue of raps	42
43							Impressin' all the 'round-the-wayers	43
44	(These are the brakes)						Before I went to bed	44
45	A mother gets mugged by her crackhead son						Included rhymes into my prayers	45
46	(That's the brakes, that's the brakes)						But that rhyme is all on paper	46
47	You're in the wrong part of town, so the shots make you run						I want my song on vinyl plates	47
48	(That's the brakes, that's the brakes)						I dreamin' hits and doin' shows	48
49	Your best comrades put six tabs in your O.E.						Makin my niggas spines shake	49
50	(That's the brakes, that's the brakes)						Expectin' nuttin but a little bit	50
51	Your boyfriend made you a carrier of HIV						Of radio play	51
52	(That's the brakes, that's the brakes)						Gettin diced on 1 and 2's	52
53							By the best djs, hey	53
54	Now what's gonna happen when the sun don't shine						Time was kinda tight	54
55	I'm buyin' tickets aboard, 'The caravan of love'						But still i dotted on the line	55
56	Hey fellas, see, money don't make shots repel						And some expected me	56
57	I break woes and compose some rhymes to tell						To start buhlooning in the mind	57
58	So when the party's live, it shouldn't be beef						Seein' spaces and places	58
59	Or playin' indian roles, I guess you thought you was chief						That i couldn't pronounce	59
60	Seems all broke up and now you woke up surprised						But still i had the pulleys	60
61	Situation's gettin' sticky dead in front of your eyes						To make all the bullies bounce	61
62							With the blessings of the great	62
63	We play the wall similar to tacks						We took it from state to state	63
64	'Til                 the DJ played the necessary track						'Cause we landed on the good foot	64
65	In fact that jam plays on, out comes all your bread						And got our biggest brake cause	65
66	To pay for drinks for them girls you want to spread						[These are the brakes]	66
67	Don't be mislead when the brake's inside your head						A mother gets mugged	67
68	And have you reminiscing on them kids who got you fed						By her crackhead son	68
69	'Til reality reveals a miss who wants to know						"That's the brakes,	69
70	If you can play her real close out on the dance floor 'cuz						that's                                            the brakes"	70
71							You're in the wrong part of town	71
