| Once they put the microphone in my hand I be rippin' it
|
| A vet I bet I get away if I’m in a predicament
|
| I’ve been a winner when I’m on a roll then I’m ineffable
|
| I lock into a beat and get in deep and never let it go
|
| Bringing the intellect hit a rhythm in the neck
|
| In effect, I can send 'em any venom when I wreck
|
| I’m one in a mil no run of the mill renegade
|
| Trained in the pen of Mark Twain and Hemingway
|
| Now, that’s a little bit of literary littering
|
| A hint at how I pick out any word I’ll be considering
|
| A technical attack when I go to bat ain’t no holding back
|
| When I’m rhyming I’m a living rap almanac
|
| Entering the club to rip that vicinity
|
| With magnanimity, dispatch an enemy
|
| Battered with blows from indefatigable patterns of flows
|
| None of my foes should combat or oppose
|
| I’m riding high like I’m on a brontosaurus
|
| I’m the paragon of a non-conformist
|
| I thrive from the verse 'til I’m on the chorus
|
| Come in for my live performance (watch!)
|
| I get it in, earn a dividend giving men Ritalin
|
| And I’m gonna win in the bitter end
|
| That’s what you have to learn the class adjourned
|
| But I returned packing the power of a pachyderm
|
| I talk all that mess when I go defeat a candidate
|
| All access and I never need a laminate
|
| They’re begging me to handle it I had to take a vow
|
| That a wack show wouldn’t be allowed, any crowd
|
| That I’m ever gonna rock, I’m’a get 'em hot
|
| Put 'em in a pot until they’re down with us
|
| Staying hungry, take it from me I may never rake in money
|
| Making funky music is a must, I’m number ONE!
|
| Making funky music is a must, I’m number one!
|
| 1 for the money 1 of a kind 1 time for your mind
|
| 1 comes second to none
|
| For once, I ain’t the 1 I’m the 1 and only 1
|
| And all I need is 1 mic sounds nice check 1
|
| Yo, jam it on the 1 son, you a shook 1 love
|
| Here’s how the west was 1 nation under
|
| Once upon a 1 o’clock jump with KRS
|
| 1 for all, you can call the 1−800 number
|
| (1) that’s how man lives you’ve been given
|
| (1) that’s how many graves they’ll be digging
|
| I had to begin to get at it again with a pad and a pen
|
| And I rap with a grin in a battle I’m winning
|
| (1) time you go around this block
|
| (1) shot before the lights go off
|
| Forget about the critic and the bitter little cynic
|
| I don’t ever wanna mimic how you talk I’m number ONE! |
