| Merry fifth-mas ‘til you get your trees up
 | 
| Black Thought spit like a firearm — lickin' your knees up
 | 
| Fifth militia crowd please alight Nate Wally
 | 
| Worldwide — civilized when it speak ollie
 | 
| Courage under fire — Thought, the wire-walkin' SP
 | 
| Smooth-talkin' rap Attila — the hundred-spliff skilla
 | 
| So travel the globe, there’s none iller
 | 
| Come blows in the spine — tell her why the rhyme killer
 | 
| Clone grafted on sweat that I shed — somethin' I said
 | 
| Rock a fifth insignia all up on his head
 | 
| My black lung regiment can’t relate with fake shit
 | 
| I’m swimmin' with up inside the snake pit
 | 
| Makeshift niggas is lost out there — the turn the mics off
 | 
| Y’all MCs should duck down
 | 
| We comin' with this well-wrapped sound from Philly-town
 | 
| Shatter your crown — what the people want now
 | 
| Now all these chickens runnin' round with they head cut off
 | 
| And if you ever caught me sleepin', it was after I got my nut off
 | 
| You like shinin'? | 
| It’s gettin' shut off
 | 
| We keep ones like strippers who shake they butt off
 | 
| A lot of y’all can’t pay back advances
 | 
| I get my grind on just like lap dances
 | 
| We in the last days, the last chances
 | 
| No storybook romances — me and Thought got the answers
 | 
| If we wylin' or chillin' growin' up in bloody streets
 | 
| Or even in bleedin' buildings — this rap thing feedin' millions
 | 
| You on a mission to shine and glisten
 | 
| ‘Cause money talks, and when it talks, motherfuckers listen
 | 
| Now, ‘cause your ish flop
 | 
| That don’t apply to me when my ish drop
 | 
| I love hip-hop, and love Roxbury
 | 
| Niggas be breakin' when I rock steady
 | 
| But y’all ain’t ready for Eddie — c’mon
 | 
| My team can only do the best that we can
 | 
| And will never let a chicken make us less than a man
 | 
| Breathe every breath that you can — I’ll be the life of the party
 | 
| You’ll be the death of your man with your weapon in hand
 | 
| Yo, I’m liable to let loose on my rival
 | 
| On my arrival, I spit verses like the Bible
 | 
| In a language that’s tribal to ensure my survival
 | 
| Up in the clouds off the hydro
 | 
| When I pass you, don’t get salted like a cashew
 | 
| I do what I want to, and you do what you have to
 | 
| Ed O.G. | 
| — and none of y’all ahead of me
 | 
| On point is what you better be — dog, check the pedigree |
