| [00:08.25] |
I ain't no joke, I use to let the mic smoke |
| [00:11.94] |
Now I slam it when I'm done |
| [00:13.56] |
And make sure it's broke |
| [00:14.57] |
When i'm gone no one gets on |
| [00:15.94] |
Cuz I won't let |
| [00:16.64] |
Nobody press up |
| [00:17.33] |
And mess up the seen I set |
| [00:18.79] |
I like to stand in a crowd |
| [00:20.16] |
And watch the people wonder damn |
| [00:21.41] |
But think about it then you'll understand |
| [00:23.91] |
I'm just an addict addicted to music |
| [00:25.47] |
Maybe it's a habit, I gotta use it |
| [00:28.15] |
Even if it's jazz or the quiet storm |
| [00:30.27] |
I hook a beat up convert it into hip-hop form |
| [00:32.58] |
Write a rhyme in graffiti |
| [00:34.14] |
In every show you see me in |
| [00:35.61] |
Deep concentration, cuz I'm no comedian |
| [00:37.48] |
Jokers are wild if you wanna be tamed |
| [00:39.60] |
I treat you like a child |
| [00:40.85] |
Then you're gonna be named |
| [00:41.97] |
Another enemy, not even a friend of me |
| [00:44.65] |
Cuz you'll get fried in the end |
| [00:46.15] |
When you pretend to be |
| [00:47.22] |
Competin' cuz I just put your mind on pause |
| [00:49.02] |
And I complete |
| [00:49.58] |
When you compare my rhyme wit yours |
| [00:51.14] |
I wake you up |
| [00:51.95] |
And as I stare in your face you seem stunned |
| [00:54.26] |
Remember me, |
| [00:54.70] |
The one you got your idea from |
| [00:56.13] |
But soon you start to suffer, |
| [00:57.44] |
The tune'll get rougher |
| [00:58.32] |
When you start to stutter |
| [00:59.26] |
That's when you had enuff of |
| [01:00.55] |
Biting, it'll make you choke, |
| [01:01.55] |
You can't provoke |
| [01:02.23] |
You can't cope, you should've broke |
| [01:04.23] |
Because I ain't no joke |
| [01:05.35] |
|
| [01:23.21] |
I got a question, as serious as cancer |
| [01:26.47] |
Who can keep the average dancer |
| [01:28.04] |
Hyper as a heart attack nobody smiling |
| [01:30.42] |
Cuz you're expressing the rhyme that I'm styling |
| [01:32.79] |
This is what we all sit down to write |
| [01:34.72] |
You can't make it so you take it home, |
| [01:36.53] |
Break it and bite |
| [01:37.42] |
Use pieces and bits of all the hip-hop hits |
| [01:39.23] |
Get the style down pat |
| [01:40.54] |
Then it's time to switch |
| [01:41.66] |
Put my tape on pause |
| [01:42.79] |
And add some more to yours |
| [01:44.10] |
Then you fake it you're ready |
| [01:45.43] |
For the neighborhood chores |
| [01:46.30] |
The E-M-C-E-E don't even try to be |
| [01:49.17] |
When you come up to speak, |
| [01:50.54] |
Don't even lie to me |
| [01:51.79] |
You like to exaggerate, |
| [01:52.66] |
Dream and imaginate |
| [01:53.66] |
Then change the rhyme around, |
| [01:54.78] |
That can aggravate me |
| [01:55.97] |
So when you see me come up, freeze |
| [01:58.03] |
Or you'll be one of those 7 MC's |
| [02:00.29] |
They think that I'm a new jack |
| [02:01.85] |
But only if they knew that |
| [02:02.72] |
They who think wrong are they who can't do that |
| [02:04.85] |
Style that I'm doing, they might ruin |
| [02:07.46] |
Patterns and paragraphs based on you and |
| [02:09.21] |
Your offbeat DJ, if anything he play |
| [02:11.77] |
Sound familiar, I'll wait til E say |
| [02:14.08] |
Play 'em, so I'ma have to diss and bro |
| [02:16.45] |
You could get a smack for this, I ain't no joke |
| [02:37.26] |
I hold the microphone like a grudge |
| [02:39.21] |
B'll hold the record so the needle don't budge |
| [02:41.58] |
I hold a conversation cuz when I invent |
| [02:43.76] |
I nominated my DJ to president |
| [02:46.09] |
When I'm see I'll, keep a freestyle, going steadily |
| [02:48.54] |
So pucker up and whistle my melody |
| [02:50.66] |
But whatever you do, don't miss one |
| [02:53.42] |
They'll be another rough rhyme after this one |
| [02:55.79] |
Before you know it, you're following and fiending |
| [02:57.84] |
Waiting for the punchline to get the meaning |
| [02:59.84] |
Like before the middle of my story I'm telling |
| [03:02.79] |
Nobody beats the R so stop yelling |
| [03:04.35] |
Save it, put it in your pocket for later |
| [03:07.03] |
Cuz I'm moving the crowd and B'll wreck the fader |
| [03:09.31] |
No interruptions til the mic is broke |
| [03:11.55] |
When I'm gone, then you can joke |
| [03:14.05] |
Cuz everything is real on a serious tip |
| [03:16.06] |
Keep playing and I varies quick |
| [03:18.31] |
And take you for a walk through hell |
| [03:20.50] |
Freeze your dome then watch your eyeballs swell |
| [03:23.12] |
Guide you out of triple stage darkness |
| [03:25.37] |
When it get dark again then I'ma spark this |
| [03:27.87] |
Microphone cuz the heat is on, you see smoke |
| [03:30.62] |
Then I finish when the beat is gone, I'm no joke |
