| Look, some of y’all had chance to witness
|
| Every year I appeared on top hitlist
|

|
| A third of R&B, no help just me (YO!)
|
| Just me on the rhyme, just me on the beat
|
| Just me in the lab, just me in the street
|
| Most knew it, my accolades stacked high
|
| Appalachian, Mountain placin them
|
| Top ten, I’m rap’s elite, so street
|
| If you can’t recite the realness, don’t speak (YO!)
|
| My sound help cats through bids
|
| Half the industry rhymes on somethin I did
|
| I target, one market
|
| Underground shit to start arguments about who’s dope
|
| Hip-Hop kids, like crackheads
|
| They fiend for this, like he’s a genius
|

|
| Five times on The Source, I graced the cover
|
| So save your opinion, you wanna hear that old
|
| «You're a Customer» type flow, when I rhyme slow
|
| That was 15 years ago — if you wanna hear that
|
| Then buy that tape, and hear that flow (YO!)
|
| Jah said somethin like you have to grow
|
| Can’t stagnate the flow, cause you said so
|

|
| Talk to me
|

|
| Been fresh since Doug and Ricky did «The Show» (YO!)
|
| And you act like E’s not able
|

|
| I’m from the era of battle, LL, Moe Dee
|
| Who held the mic when you held the rattle
|
| But you frontin like E’s not happenin
|
| Like Run told me, «I'm the reason why you rappin»
|
| Feel my spirit, so powerful that the dead can hear it
|
| I’m Raw, got the wrath of Kane
|

|
| Not the one that Michael Jackson was searchin
|
| It’s me Erick Sermon
|
| Rest in peace to Jam Master Jay |
