I wanna be able to reach an mc
4
and reach a little child in the same degree
5
And my elders excel
6
I mean what the hell
7
we might as well bridge these gaps
8
in all before we fall in the fire
9
Black Thought:
10
It's a million mc's upon a plan they call real tryin' to set it
11
profess mic techniques illegit
12
inaccurate perceptions of reality embedded
13
in their minds thus their rhymes are discredited (check it out)
14
Q-Tip:
15
I use my music implemented with jewels import tools
16
to inspire all those too cool fools who say screw school
17
'Cause they don't see the conspiracy
18
that's put here to trap you and me
19
Black Thought:
20
Y'all know the battle leutenant be on some whole 'nother other finesse genetic
21

22
ary and very necessary to shine
23
legendarily, heavily refined
24

28
and if you feelin' something, guess who gets the sticking
29

32
iate with realisms for their whole local
33
we on point like decimal Abstract now
34
Q-Tip:
35
MCin while I'm breathingmcin is believing
36
that you can host a ceremony and the dough is never phony
37
in fact, it's very therapeutic

like B12 hyperdermic needle so shoot it
39
Black Thought:
40
Lyrically elicit upstarts the explicit
41
most wicked seven digit mic wizardmy tongue lashes out and strikes with it
42
just slightly might miss it
43
when I blast through your section or district
44
CHORUS
45
Verse Two: Black Thought
46
In my formitive by my peers I was influenced
47
until the instruments of time killed the congruence
48
I peeped the blue prints on how to make true sense
49
of MC's which are a nuisance I know just what to do sinceI'm on another lev.
50
brothers is fakin' jacks and think they ready for the rev.
51
but they got a lot to learn, to make theri thoughts long term
52
'cause on theri short-cuts they made a wrong turn
53
probably, timelessly I construct the firesome
54
to rip your eardrum for many years to come
55
professional style thinkin' rational to move wise
56
so hard it's a wonder y'all alive...
57
Q-Tip:
58
...And still breathin', niggaz is dead and not even
59
perpetuatin' real life the shit kicked is real trife ayo they fake bleedin'
60
It's obvious that they needin' attention feedin'
61
they cold actin' like heathens
62
when mics is picked up MC's scenes is kicked up
63
like women with the gripper drinking Moet 'till they hiccup
64
fellas hustlin' picking bricks up
65
fantasizin' about the illest stick up
66
but rip up the jam and we be truly impressed
67
on stage you won't need your tef. vest
68
only a mic with and a mic test
69
and at your best you get blessed by the fans who profess
70
that they can relate
71
with the trials you tribulate
72
or the pains you endure
73
'cause some cats is pure
74
tell horors that are true but see cats like you
75
y'all fake joints just tyo get a woo-woo
76
the tear jerker
77
you be that miracle worker
78
whose miracle just ran out
79
I think it's time you pan out
80
or just plain fade, 'cause yo you played
81
we 'bout to drop on you like the Everglades
