Welcome
2
to the voice response registration system
3
of True School University
4
representing universally
5
you have added
6
hip hop ethics
7
one two zero
8
for those that don't know
9
school's in
10
who got the nerve ta
11
write a jam that you can swerve ta
12
over tracks so fat the nickname Big Bertha
13
It's probably the kid that half the crews have never hearda
14
whose mind travels further
15
than sex drugs and murder
16
so when you play the role of the timeless inserter
17
I'm sorry if you're 85 and you would have preferred a
18
album full of ignorance
19
the place is an experience
20
before the reasons why
21
for the sake of sounding fly
22
but I
23
grade your style without the curve
24
cuz you don't deserve to
25
receive the grade that might let you build up the nerve to
26
bite the rhyme that feeds you
27
I need you to listen
28
my words are whet with crystal-clear wisdom so they glisten
29
and I fill in the blanks for all the answers that you're missing
30
I'm rolling with the mongoose, cuz snakes is steady hissing
31
to expose my flaws like salt in sores
32
since they cannot be reformed I simply kill 'em by the fours
33
so in other words, nah man, skip the explanation
34
see that what the rewind's for, so be patient
35
cuz this is the direction that my pen should be draggin'
36
to transform your dollar cabs into bandwagons
37
Chorus:
38
J-Live with the mic is like a chef with a blade
39
no doubt
40
man I cut ya like lumber
41
(repeat)
42
you see somewhere in between the old school and the new school
43
a master of the next school
44
came to teach the now school
45
cuz business class was steady playing old tricks on new fools
46
so everybody rocks jewels, but can't nobody drop jewels
47
one-track-minded, blinded, thinking only pop's cool
48
supply & demand rules, replaced by A&R rules
49
a scholar of the next school
50
who wasn't trying to hear that
51
so principals and teachers abroad began to fear that
52
"If this guy makes an impact on the students that we play,
53
they'll end up having way too much control over their grades!"
54
see grades will equal status for power, so just like college
55
you're so caught up in letter grades, you skip the 'F'ing knowledge
56
(I didn't get this line -- I know I'm missing something)
57
so when the listener
58
graduates to be an artist
59
you still enslaved by the principles because they're heartless
60
first they make you imitate another man's skill
61
now you use your power for another man's will
62
move the crowd's mental when they tell you sit still
63
move the crowds pockets instead to get the bread
64
yeah that's what the students gather from what the principal said
65
they make you think the world bleeds green instead of read
66
but class is in session now so all that stuff is dead
67
I'm coming through with knowledge and wisdom to fill your head
68
Chorus:
69
J-Live with the mic is like a chef with a blade
70
no doubt
71
man I cut ya like lumber
72
(repeat X 3)
73
"now wait a minute
74
what the hell does chopping trees have to do with culinary?"
75
that's the spirit kid, analyse the lyric
76
from the moment that you hear it, see, cuz most don't have the skill to
77
utilize their ears' function as a garbage filter
78
so their brain gets clogged and congested
79
by the time and the effort that's invested in illusion
80
and by the time's definition of reality
81
by the time you get the facts, they're outnumbered in confusion
82
so I come, to get shit off my chest and up in you
83
and I come, to make you feel at home with your power
84
and I come, to plant seeds of responsibility
85
cuz I come, harder than a sleepless cold shower
86
refining and refreshing
87
reprimanding
88
those who claim they're representing by demanding
89
clarity
90
cuz when a mouthfull don't equal an eyefull, an earfull sound awful
91
at least that's how it seems to me
92
so I lead by example in my sound-proof room
93
and the comp gets trampled on my wack-proof stage
94
and my answers be ample in the packed classroom
95
cuz my thoughts are reflected on an ink-filled page
