Rock on, look kids, the lesson is I'm not dissing your preferences, I'm just saying, c'mon now [Chorus] Check your collection, what's your selection Is it pretty pop or hip hop perfected Sleeves of the binder, personality projected Ignorant or intelligent, your case reflects it Check your collection, what's your selection Is it pretty pop or hip hop perfected Sleeves of the binder, personality projected Ignorant or intelligent, your case reflects it [Verse 2: Page One] Keep them hands movin' from the right to the left I take my craft as seriously as a fight to the death This industry, I stay incensed with it Wouldn't have that much against it if it were case sensitive Would you not judge it, if it wasn't so big budget And would you object to hear your kids repeat it in public This subject, some won't even touch it, but wait a minute A computer's monitor only displays the data in it We wasn't fooled by some new lie Don't have to light it up like the Fourth of July, to see this mess is ruled by Past presidents' printed paper portraits Telecommunications putting satellites in orbit To control what you see and hear, thus what you think They don't trust what you think, so they got to know just what you think But they can't stop the underground movement Trying to blow it off as a nuisance, but the truth is Accessible, if not readily digestible If your palette is accustomed to devouring the detestable Flesh festival permeating the airwaves It's time to take it to the next level like a staircase [Chorus] Check your collection, what's your selection Is it pretty pop or hip hop perfected Sleeves of the binder, personality projected Ignorant or intelligent, your case reflects it Check your collection, what's your selection Is it pretty pop or hip hop perfected Sleeves of the binder, personality projected Ignorant or intelligent, your case reflects it [Verse 3: Page One &Othello] The ultimate heist, robbing you of Christ Now is your case a treasure chest, or a mind-control device What do you purchase, who do you worship It's a fine line between artist and merchant, it's all about the pesos Hip hop, rock or jazz, whatever we have Yo, we be rockin' it, rockin' it as the bass goes... The bass goes...

This is not a dis to those of you Who support wack music and trend-following crews Creativity is whatever you think it is But if everyone's doing it, how creative is it, kid?
