[Chorus]
2
Don't stop (uh don't stop yo)
3
Tonight (cheeba cheeba yo, soul shock yo)
4
(Give it everything you got yo)
5
(Once again it's time, it's time)
6
It's time to ride, ride....
7
[Verse One: Black Thought]
8
Yo, piss in the staircase, blood on the pavement
9
I fill the quills with it let it spill on the pages
10
Compose another anthem for the killers and manglers
11
Villains and wranglers, fifth still in the chamber
12
Shit, I'm scientific but my reflex's gangsta
13
Pull out-rageous arms from the floor of the basement
14
Then bust 'nuff talons if my peoplez in danger
15
I'm Larry Davis, duckin' helicopter, hoverin' government agents
16
We muscle the language
17
What we spit will leave your shit in utter amazement
18
I'm hot brolic call it contagious
19
The shit the Roots started got these other artists going through changes
20
My vision is the strangest, the rhythm is anguish
21
Y'all niggaz on the titty in your formative stages
22
Is something in the iris and the way I spit
23
That tell these other crab rappers I ain't fo' no shit
24
Black traumatic, so there you have it
25
My battin' average, abort full of graphic assault, it's all classic
26
Thought, put ass-backwards rappers in a small package
27
Experience is all that is, I'm well established
28
Me and the mic in holy matrimony like a marriage
29
The technique in your reach, if only you could have it
30
For me it's automatic, it's na-tu-ral, I'm mad thoro
31
Poet for hired pack metal
32
You feel me?
33
[Chorus]
34
[Verse Two: Black Thought]
35
Yo, the load heavy
36
We walk around a little edgy, all ready and steady
37
Withdrawal like Darryl Strawberry, it figures
38
Niggaz mad from them ghetto sandwiches and swine
39
Cryin' hard times, disadvantegeous, man listen
40
The story in the ghetto the same
41
Seem like it's just some things that never will change
42
Give birth to a style and won't give it a name
43
Talk 'bout consciousness it's a different thang
44
Envision again, the honorable 'Riq, general Hannibal speak
45
The understandable diabolique, animal style
46
Out of your dreams kid, you proud that you seen this
47
Fifth supreme linguist, a lyrical genious
48
Inject you with the broke down english
49
The most freshest and cleanest, three G's, guess what the fame is
50
Kareem's beat makin' me fiendish
51
Don't act shaky and squeamish, if you real make me believe it nigga
52
[Chorus]
53
[Verse Three: Black Thought]
54
Yo, the rebel Che Guevara
55
You felt another date, you better
56
Don't copped off, create it just save your cheddar
57
I hit the studio with a pen and a vendetta
58
Sippin' an ice cold Beck, huffin' the tenth letter
59
Driftin', shots lickin while the plot thickens
60
Sands in the hourglass thinnin', the last inning
61
The flash and the cash and the fast women
62
It's nothing, a lust for the crabs keep the passion and
63
Blaow, kissin' my tablet with firing pins
64
Poke holes in the plastic for oxygen
65
MCs jumpin' out shoes and socks again
66
Must have seen their face in the news it's gots to been
67
Thought known as the cure for cancer
68
Same corrupt city as Mumia the Panther
69
Man to man, hammer cocked, block and standoff
70
Bang, gunfire slang up in the dance hall
71
Yo, I hold the mic that could be thrown as a pipe bomb
72
Bring it just to sling it at your favorite icon
73
Thing about my music is it ain't shit like y'all
74
Thought, diesel like a 28-inch python
75
You know what I'm saying?
76
When I'm on the mic there won't be no delayin...
77
[Chorus]
