Return Of The Mecca Lyrics - Pete Rock

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 

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 

Photos 

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, yes, a foretold, the beautiful and bold 

Start 'em in harlem with the motto, the apollo 

Boogie to me, I'll swallow hollow when you follow 

Stable like a turntable, lyrics I cradle 

No fable, label, or one, my tongue around your navel 

You're comin' to me so therefore the program's mecca 

The silhouette, a weirder fella, darker than vanilla 

Talkin' about the theoretical, isometrical 

Alphabetical, rebel, a dissect-the-devil 

Unveil a tale in detail, the third rail 

Read it in braille, a bigger male leave a trail 

Now I sink you to the link, that'll make you think 

You's too large to shrink, I need a drink 

And toast to emperor, mecca said to invent 

To know of a child, work your wiles so surrender 

And never to be lobotomized, the flexin' of the stanza 

But you know the answer when I drop a proper grammar 

Tabasco, the late show, flow to make a peso 

I manage to do damage so, honey, get macco 

Risen from the prison, the division, black and decker 

Strictly for your pleasure, return of the mecca 

Return of the mecca (whispered) 

Ladies say ah!, brothers say oh! 

Oh, d off the black baryshnikov, 

Takin' it up north, back and forth, never been soft 

Bound to see me swollen like a beethoven 

Listen, wide open, never tokin', do or die, my slogan 

Save the sarcasm, I'll hit you like a orgasm 

Back off of that and maybe later let you pat 'em 

Necessary for any adversary to worry 

The legendary, primary, never secondary 

Dip in peru, overdue in honolulu 

Now'd if you knew the preview, could bubble like shampoo 

Outclass the mass so we'll look in the hourglass 

No time to waste for those in contrast 

Like the new york philharmonic, sent to blow melodic 

With the logic I hear like a narcotic 

Put your best to rest, so get your bulletproof vest 

I got the wild, wild west to your chest 

You know the cause of death, so forget the autopsy 

Another got sloppy so I lit it in poppy 

Smooth as peabo, but don't like lelo 

For the grand finale I slip on like a bally 

C.l. and p.r., categorizin' we are 

The soul brother, mecca lover, funky by far 

The classic fantastic, rip it like elastic 

Here to get drastic, return of the mecca
