[00:08.25]I ain't no joke, I use to let the mic smoke
[00:11.94]Now I slam it when I'm done
[00:13.56]And make sure it's broke
[00:14.57]When i'm gone no one gets on
[00:15.94]Cuz I won't let
[00:16.64]Nobody press up
[00:17.33]And mess up the seen I set
[00:18.79]I like to stand in a crowd
[00:20.16]And watch the people wonder damn
[00:21.41]But think about it then you'll understand
[00:23.91]I'm just an addict addicted to music
[00:25.47]Maybe it's a habit, I gotta use it
[00:28.15]Even if it's jazz or the quiet storm
[00:30.27]I hook a beat up convert it into hip-hop form
[00:32.58]Write a rhyme in graffiti
[00:34.14]In every show you see me in
[00:35.61]Deep concentration, cuz I'm no comedian
[00:37.48]Jokers are wild if you wanna be tamed
[00:39.60]I treat you like a child
[00:40.85]Then you're gonna be named
[00:41.97]Another enemy, not even a friend of me
[00:44.65]Cuz you'll get fried in the end
[00:46.15]When you pretend to be
[00:47.22]Competin' cuz I just put your mind on pause
[00:49.02]And I complete
[00:49.58]When you compare my rhyme wit yours
[00:51.14]I wake you up
[00:51.95]And as I stare in your face you seem stunned
[00:54.26]Remember me,
[00:54.70]The one you got your idea from
[00:56.13]But soon you start to suffer,
[00:57.44]The tune'll get rougher
[00:58.32]When you start to stutter
[00:59.26]That's when you had enuff of
[01:00.55]Biting, it'll make you choke,
[01:01.55]You can't provoke
[01:02.23]You can't cope, you should've broke
[01:04.23]Because I ain't no joke
[01:05.35]
[01:23.21]I got a question, as serious as cancer
[01:26.47]Who can keep the average dancer
[01:28.04]Hyper as a heart attack nobody smiling
[01:30.42]Cuz you're expressing the rhyme that I'm styling
[01:32.79]This is what we all sit down to write
[01:34.72]You can't make it so you take it home,
[01:36.53]Break it and bite
[01:37.42]Use pieces and bits of all the hip-hop hits
[01:39.23]Get the style down pat
[01:40.54]Then it's time to switch
[01:41.66]Put my tape on pause
[01:42.79]And add some more to yours
[01:44.10]Then you fake it you're ready
[01:45.43]For the neighborhood chores
[01:46.30]The E-M-C-E-E don't even try to be
[01:49.17]When you come up to speak,
[01:50.54]Don't even lie to me
[01:51.79]You like to exaggerate,
[01:52.66]Dream and imaginate
[01:53.66]Then change the rhyme around,
[01:54.78]That can aggravate me
[01:55.97]So when you see me come up, freeze
[01:58.03]Or you'll be one of those 7 MC's
[02:00.29]They think that I'm a new jack
[02:01.85]But only if they knew that
[02:02.72]They who think wrong are they who can't do that
[02:04.85]Style that I'm doing, they might ruin
[02:07.46]Patterns and paragraphs based on you and
[02:09.21]Your offbeat DJ, if anything he play
[02:11.77]Sound familiar, I'll wait til E say
[02:14.08]Play 'em, so I'ma have to diss and bro
[02:16.45]You could get a smack for this, I ain't no joke
[02:37.26]I hold the microphone like a grudge
[02:39.21]B'll hold the record so the needle don't budge
[02:41.58]I hold a conversation cuz when I invent
[02:43.76]I nominated my DJ to president
[02:46.09]When I'm see I'll, keep a freestyle, going steadily
[02:48.54]So pucker up and whistle my melody
[02:50.66]But whatever you do, don't miss one
[02:53.42]They'll be another rough rhyme after this one
[02:55.79]Before you know it, you're following and fiending
[02:57.84]Waiting for the punchline to get the meaning
[02:59.84]Like before the middle of my story I'm telling
[03:02.79]Nobody beats the R so stop yelling
[03:04.35]Save it, put it in your pocket for later
[03:07.03]Cuz I'm moving the crowd and B'll wreck the fader
[03:09.31]No interruptions til the mic is broke
[03:11.55]When I'm gone, then you can joke
[03:14.05]Cuz everything is real on a serious tip
[03:16.06]Keep playing and I varies quick
[03:18.31]And take you for a walk through hell
[03:20.50]Freeze your dome then watch your eyeballs swell
[03:23.12]Guide you out of triple stage darkness
[03:25.37]When it get dark again then I'ma spark this
[03:27.87]Microphone cuz the heat is on, you see smoke
[03:30.62]Then I finish when the beat is gone, I'm no joke
