| Yo, live from my laboratory. |
| Lock my documents
|
| Collab with JS-1, cross the continent
|
| Confidence, blow your shit to no tomorrow, kid
|
| We cold-hearted, but instead of borrow, give
|
| I used to live a little different from the rest
|
| Like «Instead of guard your grill, better guard your chest»
|
| Knock out, see blues, greens, and red
|
| Internal bleeding in Sweden in hospital beds
|
| Understand the fact, understand the difference
|
| A lot of shit ain’t hot—you might fit the description
|
| Print this, back drop nucleus
|
| Turns on apex, blowers with Nitrous
|
| Dilated squad super-charged flows
|
| This year, fuck a jab—time to upper cut foes
|
| Pick your mic up like the weapon you chose
|
| And let off 'til all competition is froze
|
| Dilated

|
| Your pessimistic flows have no chance of stopping this
|
| Right before my Prime—I guess I’m in my Optimus
|
| The spiritual who conduct lyrical rituals are limited in numbers
|
| Among physical individuals who slumber
|
| Rehearsing nervous nurseries won’t raise your dead poem
|
| I rep the underground sound like Chud with headphones
|
| Spit in your face, make my statements clear
|
| My Chinese astrology leaves me stuck in the Basement Year
|
| Extract the fear, get the facts clear. |
| I swear
|
| Y’all pussies ain’t been fresh since your last pap smear (Yeah)
|
| The Evidence is here to enhance your petty sight
|
| And JS (One!) still nice with his hands like Jerry Rice
|
| I don’t need to end the verse in punctuation. |
| Just pump the bass in
|
| Watch my posse jump in and punch your face in
|
| I’m saying, «I'll become another memory to y’all
|
| A legend in the hood with my name on the walls because…»

|
| You know your nigga Pep get Love
|
| When I tunnel through the underground like Dig Dug, making black noise
|
| Mental food, crude black oil for you overemotional cats that lack poise
|
| Go through your b-boy convulsion as we keep coasting
|
| Super duper fly on a natural high, posting
|
| We 'bout to bring that real rap thrill back
|
| The zest and the zeal that you mass appeal cats can feel
|
| Threaten when we get energetic and set it
|
| And soothe you with this musical sedative
|
| I breathe life into the beat and let it live
|
| My raps are rhetoric when the shit get competitive
|
| For the love of my peeps and dope beats
|
| I’mma keep it copacetic for my folks in the streets
|
| As the all-eye-seeing earthquakes the ground
|
| JS be easy on the cut. |
| No mistakes allowed

|
| I’m from the right side of the map, wrong side of the tracks
|
| B-side of the wax. |
| East side and we back
|
| React. |
| (Yo, who the hell is that?)
|
| In a minute and a half, you won’t be asking that
|
| I kick a classic rap to surpass the wack
|
| So feel the aftermath of the Jurassic scratch
|
| Ayyo, I have to laugh at the nonsense they talk
|
| They be running at the mouth but can they walk the walk?
|
| Yo, I live in New York and that’s the city that never sleeps
|
| It’s where dirty deeds get done dirt-cheap
|
| And I creep down deep below the surface
|
| Devising new ways to make the wack feel nervous
|
| My purpose on Earth is to write this
|
| And there’s two things you can do about it: nothing and like it
|
| You might get food if you come from out of town
|
| But we down, by Lord, worldwide, underground
