[Scratches in the intro and Hook by Pete Rock]
[A sample of the Onyx classic "Slam" is heard in the background of the intro and the Hook]
[Intro: Pete Rock]
Rock the house (rock the house...)
East New York, East New York
East New York, East New York
Uhh, East New York, East New York
East New York, East New-York
To my nigga AZ
Hit it off
[Verse 1: AZ]
We was already molded into people's minds as mulignanes
Now we more fucked up with a mayor named Giuliani
You can try to blind me, analyze but can't define me
My mind's divine, heavily entwined with Gandhi's
Far from feeble, I leave your nostrils hard to breathe through
Cause my cerebrals are more of a higher plane than the Hebrews
My mic devotion brings out my deepest emotions
Overdosing wannabes posing, sending them through convulsions
Too hard to follow, you took a bite but couldn't swallow
Your mind's boggled
But I'm as deep as Donald Goines novels
My whole persona's kinda laid back like a recliner
And since a minor, I been fucking with marijuana
Wavy-haired, my skin got a money getting glare
Strictly menace wear, macking off a Guinness beer
So where it all begins is here
Destiny and me finally meet
So how can I be weak? I'm rather unique
[Refrain: Big Daddy Kane & Pete Rock]
Why, why, why I'm rather unique
Why I'm rather unique, check it out
[Verse 2: AZ]
My verbals rip shit, brains give birth to thoughts in triplets
Fuck it I'm on some flip shit, ready to let my clip spit
Dramatical, vocals release shells like automatics do
Music's magical causing any battles to be tragical, child
Got a style sick as hell, sicker than sickle cell anemia
Slaughter your circulatory like leukemia
Filled with larceny, who want parts of me?
I'm vicious, mad malicious
Cause it's real on this road to riches
I got this mastered, other rappers'll craft it
Weak and wicked
Camouflaged as killers how they speak and kick it
Peep this uniqueness, non-believers I'm leaving speechless
Left to choke as if skunk smoke was coming through the speakers
Surgically nice with any verbal device, trife
Breathing life into mics
My eyesight's beyond the twilight
So die or fight, no surrender, no retreat
Techniques speak, I'm rather unique
[Refrain: Big Daddy Kane & Pete Rock]
Why I'm rather unique

Check it out
Check it out

[Verse 3: AZ]
So it's gonna take more than your astrologist to knowledge this
Physiologists couldn't even figure out the exoticness
Raps demolishing certified the way I style it
My wordplay blaze with the rays of ultraviolet
My culture's smiling, getting more in depth with each breath
Autobiography follows the footsteps of Malcolm X
Money and sex, Gore-Tex, Donna Karan and Guess
Finesse, success through the life stress, mics I bless
Puffing trees to get me high as trapeze
Looking Japanese, at ease when I'm stacking G's
So let's discuss, plus degrees
Why the rhyme force is the source for thoughts that's lost
So don't cross cause it'll cost
The ghetto savior, smooth, the real playa with flavor
Moves be major, with un-explainable behavior
The word's on the street so keep your ears to the concrete
Why I'm rather unique
[Refrain: Big Daddy Kane & Pete Rock]
Why I'm rather unique
