Yo |
| [00:07.72] |
Watch as the room rocks |
| [00:09.03] |
Mentally moonwalk |
| [00:10.11] |
Mixed media slang banging in your boombox |
| [00:12.52] |
Verbal violence |
| [00:13.51] |
Lyrical stylist |
| [00:14.78] |
In a time when rock/hip-hop rhymes are childish |
| [00:17.40] |
You can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty |
| [00:19.52] |
Rappin' to a beat doesn't make you an emcee |
| [00:21.86] |
With your lack of skill and facility you're killing me |
| [00:24.12] |
And a DJ in the group just for credibility |
| [00:26.64] |
I heard that some of you are gettin' help with your rhymes |
| [00:29.16] |
You're not an emcee if someone else writes your lines |
| [00:31.46] |
Rappin' over rock doesn't make you a pioneer |
| [00:33.87] |
Cuz rock and hip-hop have collaborated for years |
| [00:36.33] |
But now they're getting randomly mixed and matched up |
| [00:38.80] |
All after a fast buck |
| [00:39.74] |
And all the tracks suck |
| [00:41.02] |
So how does it stack up? |
| [00:42.21] |
None of its real |
| [00:43.28] |
You wanna be an emcee? |
| [00:44.42] |
You gotta study the skill |

Who can rock a rhyme like this |

Step, step up, step, step up |
| [00:55.33] |
So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity |
| [00:58.07] |
But mentally you don't have the hip-hop energy |
| [01:00.59] |
With a tendency to make up stories |
| [01:02.40] |
It sounded like the only hip-hop you've heard is top-40 |
| [01:05.12] |
And your record company's completely missed it |
| [01:07.65] |
And all the kids are dissin' it for not being legitimate |
| [01:10.15] |
So in a battle, you can't hack it |
| [01:11.76] |
React with whack shit, and get smacked with verbal backflips |
| [01:14.75] |
Get your ass kicked, I'm a fabulous battle catalyst |
| [01:17.34] |
It's taken decades for emcees to establish this |
| [01:19.77] |
You're new to hip-hop and welcome if you're serious |
| [01:22.09] |
But not on a mike, leave that to the experienced |
| [01:24.56] |
(Using waves of sound the true master paralyzes his opponent |
| [01:31.11] |
Leaving him vulnerable to attack) |
