[O.C.]
Uhh.. yeah, yo
Touch not, what not, say what one would

Aim is to move not back but frontwards
Go set eye upon the prize, more soul, also
("ladies and gentlemen") pleasure's all O's

Most know, some might not, find it irrelevant
Age with wisdom, speak with intelligence
Switch pitch up, let's see if hitters swing with it

Beat awkward, let's see how many people cling to it
Different design, comin forth mixtures like
exit cartel used in excess OD

O.C. bonded for life with this
I come through, ^!$$%z whisper "He nice with his"
Been that, always, nothin changed but the game

Now a buck eighty-five, hype five-eight frame
Bumrush y'all ain't no retreat, it's a wrap now
It's a million muh'$#&@ers wantin to rap now

Some suck, others suc-ceed, some try hard
Most chance slim in the game to succeed
No sweat, found niche, now it's a done deal

Truth to be said, reachin heights unreal

[Chorus]

("let it be known") ("it's the professional")
("you know my name") ("O.C.")

[O.C.]

Back on the scene, seein things more clear
Regroup my thoughts with a gift and a prayer
Praisin me, fall through it, no acknowledge for the game

and the things in the past you brought to it
Writers commited felonies; sayin my name in vein
@@#!sucker givin credit to lames

O.C. never fell short, fell victim
Fell off, or lost touch, nor tried to adjust
Trust me, put your bid in, I'm so driven

Fairwell to these other rap lames, good riddance
Who the FLUCK, WANT, WHAT? Bleek posed the question
Look in my eyes, see my expression

None adolescent, hardheads never learn %#@!
'til they $$# get spanked and had a lesson
News at 11 top story

Ain't nann muh'$#&@er out here got nuttin for me
Set pace flows on mark, once I sprint off the block
Heads start man I just can't stop

Even on an off day, still a mad freak
Think twice 'bout havin the nerve to 'proach me nucca
("Professional level" - Nas") ("lyricist")

[O.C.]

Yo... flesh of my flesh, you need not test
North, East, I'm really not impressed
He say, she say, cars, bigger baguettes

Just about played out muh'$#&@er now what's next?
Gun talk, loud bark, nuttin but excess
Like the same bomb dropped every night by Flex

Give it a rest killer, your style all wet
All mushy like #~!!@ after steamy hot sex
O.C. the truth, and so is my clique

No chi-chi mon apply when it come to this %#@!
You want !@$)got rap song, gotta look elsewhere
My gangsters insured like good health care

Believe me when I say it, take my word for it
Change gonna occur but I really can't call it
So off we go while this ^!$$% O flow

And hold on, cause the driver of the mission is a pro

[Chorus]
("let it be known") ("it's the best lyricist")
