Raisin' The Stakes Lyrics


Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey
Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey
We started from hooligans with brothers that shoot at jobs
Take it back around the way trying to build a future form
Our peoples are still lost get through no matter 'cause
We run it out of town but you still wanna floss
Not because you getting money, don't mean you better off
Can't join that late nights, now take that Gucci sweater off
Too heavy for rap, have to take a slight measure off
Spin that George broth back, you in that white colored cloth
Like Oliver North, my fate detected
My feelings is forced, bullets get ejected
Mothers scream into ours, I've been through the force
Sauteed rappers with sauce and mix them up with tofu
And no beef of course when I say give me some room
And I mean a loft big bitching too fast scenery from the boys
Greenery live with the torch, a bad piece hitting New York
You can't listen if you know that you're soft, jump on the stage

Chain rattling, the lance is street haggling
Underground scriptures thrown at you like a javeling
Tone of my voice unraveling, they fall in about
As quick as you know time is traveling
Can't you imagine that you see me every day on the streets
From crown heights to castle in the comfort castle back into my own speech
Mozambique, the time in Cologne that flavors have flown
Earn a few shillings then I'm heading back home setting the tone
And raising the stakes, and rhyming the breaks
High school flows giving rappers the shakes
On the corner posted up, henesy styrofoam cups
Man we still living it's surprising like what
Bring on the skeptics, let them know ten years fully vested
Been down like Amadeus blend the eclectic
Respected like the full pound
It's like Horatio girl you gotta love the way it's going down
Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey
Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey
Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey
Raising the stakes and rhyming 'em breaks, hey

Groove Armada is an electronic music group from Cambridge, United Kingdom, composed of two members, Andy Cato (real name Andrew Cocup) and Tom Findlay. They first came to fame with a 1997 limited single release, At the River (made famous after being used in various Marks & Spencer advertisements), which sampled "Old Cape Cod" by Patti Page. The song has since made its way onto numerous chill-out compilations.

Their most famous work is the 2000 international hit I See You Baby, remixed by Fatboy Slim in the big beat style -- with the repeated chorus line "Shakin' that ass," as heard in Renault Mégane advertisements. Vocals were provided by Ibiza-based DJ Gram'Ma Funk. Incidentally, this track was also recorded with the chorus line "Shakin' that thang" as a radio edit. While this is their most famous work, they have also produced less mainstream songs which are often featured in television adverts.

In the early part-of 2008 after parting company with Sony BMG, Groove Armada signed an "all encompassing deal" with the Bacardi rum brand that allows them to use GA's tracks for adverts. For more information, read Bands turn to brands in new deals
