[Bobbito]
3
Yo so let's get the mic burned, open it up
4
[Black Thought]
5
Yes I, check it out
6
It's like, you listen to the musician
7
Umbilicle mic, my syllable strikes ya vision
8
I take you through a tunnel of thought, wit no support
9
Now you got caught off guard, by the number one scar for the Illa-Fifth
10
Lyrically for feelin this, Black Thought yo the skill assisted
11
By the Mal-ik B, the symbol you remember me to be type valid
12
Disasterous, the master just bust this, for the listener
13
Black Thought yo, while I exhibit the
14
Styles, from the artist, boast strokes of lyrical darkness, enter the style
15
Severin rooms just like apartments, ill flavor
16
I'm a skyscraper by nature
17
Down wit my number one neighbor, Common
18
>From the city of Illinois, you destroy when we bombin, what?
19
Off the top-a, the dome lyric-al don-datta Mr. Trotter
20
Aiyyo we gotta lotta MC's, on the line of this ready to rhyme
21
So I'm just gon' set go down wit mine, rewind, check it out
22
[Common]
23
I persue sound fairs, relaxed like Dru Down's hair
24
Other niggas rhymes are like gang signs, I throw down theirs
25
On Knotts I Landed, players get played like Hamlet
26
Supposedly nice, taken for granted like life
27
I write twice and drop singles in record pools
28
Niggas I'm dunkin like when cops mingle, fuck hip hop jingles
29
Rhymin big words and not sayin shit
30
The click that you came in wit, the accent you flavor whipped
31
I got my nigga Tariq, I freak it in the middle of the week
32
Niggas is weak an' and I start to speakin
33
Niggas start to leakin, my nigga Derek D an'
34
I'm foreseein the future, funky for human beings
35
Like I was the Biz Mark, I bring the noise iller
36
Com Sense'll be the rhyme killer, I spill a
37
Little bit of juice to a MC who need a new producer
38
Got my nigga Y-Not in the spot and I rock like crack
39
I'm ready to attack, Thoughts is Black
40
Niggas understand the intelligence and relevance to this rhyme
41
I Stretch a nigga all across the line like I was Bobbito or Armstrong
42
Com's song'll keep goin, I start the holdin
43
My flowin is turnin to earth
44
The birth is comin through, listenin to cut old school *laughin*
45
?Tremblin when it came down the shoot?
46
[Pharoahe Monch]
47
(Pharoahe) Yeah yeah (Pharoahe) yeah yeah
48
(Pharoahe) yeah yeah yo
49
Always beginnin em, forever blendin them, bendin em again and again
50
Sendin em back, lettin em know that minimum wages
51
Subliminally befriending em for criminal ac-tivity
52
Mics I chop like Florida State Seminoles wit criminal facts
53
And milly ac-tually I piss on your promotional wax
54
It'll be tight but only this, what nigga swears he's the nicest
55
Just because he got rhyme of the month twice
56
Four mic devices, the gem star blade the shit slices
57
Rip-trip-chop-chop-chop and dices, Absolute
58
Absolute uh, Absolute uh, Absolute uh (kill it)
59
[Absolute]
60
Yes, rippin the microphone
61
My words will enlight your dome
62
When I'm quick to strike your home just like Capone
63
N-Noreaga, wit The War Report, my orrator will slaughter yours
64
Still waitin for the beat to come in, I'm dangerous like Satan
65
Eatin bacon in front of a Muslim, I'll battle you and your cousin
66
It's the beef for black attack
67
When I, yes quick to subtract the wack
68
When I go from track to track, bouncin in the mounds and coutin
69
Flowin like water from a fountain when I deliver
70
Like water from a river makin you shiver
71
That's for sore, the connoisseur rippin ill-literature
72
Yes, but I'm about to get deeper
73
You'll catch a ill reflection from listenin too close to the speaker
74
When I reach ya, it's gettin more clearer, outta the era
75
[Black Thought]
76
It's like this, we keep you open like a parachute
77
Took a shot of hip hop, it's Absolute
78
For my man from the House of Representatives
79
And turn it out, aiyyo I always do, that's what I'ma bout ta
80
Do I show you a style and throw you?
81
For all competitors, Black Thought comin through the seckle 'cause
82
I'm the superior style and you inferior
83
Let me adjust my voice so you can hear me ta--
84
Bust rule the, microphone
85
Pure skills, nuttin but it, all of a sudden
86
MC's just start to studdered from the rap style
87
Hey yo let me rewind check it out, check it out
88
Well it's the, deranged style that change formats and forms
89
I swarm like killa bees for feelin these fantasies
90
MC's throw a tantrum, I sing the Fifth Anthem
91
Aiyyo it's like this, my song thump your preference
92
You can never attempt to reach that where my level is
93
Black Thought severin competitives, off the dome top
94
Yo my microphone stop, my man Com just drop
95
[Common]
96
And don't halt, I guess it was my fault
97
I came through thick like a malt, niggas tried to pour salt
98
But never knew the flavor, my shit is accented from Chicago
99
Niggas follow, hold the water bottle
100
My shit'll keep flowin
101
Now I'm showin this poetry in motion like a picure
102
Read the scripture, understood the first New Testament
103
Start to blessin it
104
The shit is like this, where the beat went
105
I give MC's the silent treatment
106
They tried to come against me, I told em they wasn't fresh
107
Rappers I Crush, Kill and Destroy like Stress
108
Extinction Agenda, Com Sense'll just send a-nother
109
Mothafucker to the bathroom, he didn't have room to shit on the mic
110
That I had, it's like the nigga Com Sense, I don't need a pad
111
Off the dome, my shit'll roam/Rome like a Greek
112
I start to speak, and niggas sound extra weak/week
113
Like seven days, I take ya seven whole days like Tony
114
Never been a phony, Express styles like a Pony
115
Hold ya horses, Com Sense read The Sources
116
Toss this type of shit that go straight through, I lost this
117
One time, it came back the rap sunshine
118
Niggas follow me like one time
119
Check it out nig-- my man Absolute is unsigned, ready to get it on
120
It's like this upon the mic yo I sit upon
121
[Pharoahe Monch]
122
Yo yo, check it out now, one time now, Pharoahe Monch yo
123
It's not breaks at the bar, even if you a star
124
Wit me and my crew baby doll you won't go far
125
I seek the love of Allah, the laws I lay
126
Peepin the upper echelon of light display
127
Funk distributed rap pro, attributed to facts so
128
Cleverly put, more revolutions than a axel
129
The sad slow nigga much smoother than Coltrane
130
Who can cop beats that I chop like cocaine
131
The effortless action wit moves like subtraction
132
Lip, stick and admit wit mo' satisfaction
133
And all the while my beats can pile up
134
More data than X-File shows all added up
135
The educated nigga from Queens, by any means
136
Servin any fiends, similar to Supreme Team
137
But like steam I will rise to the top to redeem the cream
138
For niggas who fiend for hip hop
139
I pop glock and bla-block shot and chop spots
140
>From top notch cops to bust from a crotch
141
Positioning, what Absolute, what c'mon c'mon kick the dome
142
[Absolute]
143
The last word was precision so I get a vision
144
And makin sentences on top of your cranium
145
Underground, sub-terranien
146
Crossin the Mediterranean, water to slaughter MC's
147
Who can't catch across the border
148
Lookin across, the window, not a nympho
149
Lookin at my man, the Jedi duck when the lead fly
150
My man just took a picture, so I just snapped it
151
Lookin at the man who got the joint in his back shit, the back shit
152
I pack shit but it's never like an automatic
153
I'm causin static just like the opposite of Bounce
154
I get, throwing mad amounts
155
Look at my man Bobbito and Stretch
156
I gotta catch the beat
157
I'm never come off weak 'cause weak is the opposite of strong
158
I used to smoke the bong but now I got the Heineken
159
It's my turn to rhyme again
160
Don't need to be greedy, I give my old gear to the needy
161
Used to write graffiti 'cause I got the burner
162
You might not get that but you I pass it back to my man wit the head wrap
163
Yo
164
*talking and shoutouts to end*
