{*scratched 4X: "All we do is spark mad izm"*}
[KRS] The episode starts when I walk down the block kid Reach in my poc-ket, yo where's my knot, it Follows me into the spot, compellin Go check the dread and yes he's herb sellin A punani gate, I'm a potential felon Izm is smellin, like I ain't even tellin Channel one two, I'm smashin the law Channel three, I make a run to the store Channel four leave the store with the Phillie cause I... Spark the izm, I'm off to Channel Live
[Hakim] Wake up in the mornin got the yearnin for herb Which loosens up the nouns, metaphors, and verbs And adjectives, ain't it magic kid what I'm kickin Multi-flavored bags of sess, for the pickin So listen to the izm as it talks non-stop Hawaiian when I'm rhymin but so is the chocolate thai Now the high, starts to settle Kickin fat lyrics that rocks, like heavy metal
[KRS] I'm comin' out to dance with da spliff of sensei When I speak, big up Mack, L.O., and Malik Like John Lennon, yes I'm I-Z-M'n I start grinnin, and syllables start bendin My style is untangible, like a wild animal Check the label as it goes round it's on Capitol That's what I'm smackin you with cause it's easy Like Lionel Richie, your whole style is bitchy Switch me, mix me, somebody get me Don't let me rip out my clothes like Bill Bixby Rippin the microphone 'til I'm motherfuckin sixty Smokin the indo, by the window, it's sticky
[Tuffy] Come spark the izm, my expertism, is lyricism My flow will take you over, like I was hypnotism So where's the lighter, to decipher, the skills that I'm bringin Hyper than a little kid on ginseng roots And culture, my intellect will insult ya Finish off your dead mind like a vulture I gotta get mine, get a grip Cause there's all these weak rappers steady makin hits, FUCK THAT! But ninety-four I bring the skills back So listen now I'm doin what I want to do and sparkin mad izm
{*scratched 8X: "All we do is spark mad izm"*}
[Tuffy] I come with notions, deeper than the ocean Check out my potion, mad rhythm in the motion The izm, brings the wisdom, when I kick it on the rhythm Check it how I rock it in a cipher Desire, takes you higher, lyrical messiah (Yo yo yo yo-yo, pass that lighter) Counterclockwise, I rise like the sun Now feel the heat from the rays of the gun Shootin out the mental mist How you gonna know the real shit when your style's counterfeit?
[KRS] His shit is counterfeit cause he's motherfuckin phony Come into the jam try to front like he know me Hah! Listen to this new type of somethin Bumpin, ninety-four ain't for no frontin New type of lingo, catchy like a jingle Rougneck hip-hop is drippin from the single Now, let me introduce you to the one The Channel Live indo this loosens you up Goin through the channels of the remote control Flickin through the frequencies of your soul
[Hakim] Then roll the izm, the inflater, I'm weeded Like wearing a sweater, at the equator, I'm heated But I flip a style like I flip a channel Step up and test the skills, you can get my tes-ticules Cause hip-hop's been runningthrough my veins ever since So it wasn't hard for me to grab the mic and represent Representing tormenting MC's craniums Till they can't flow why cause I'm drainin em Don't mean to be blunt but don't front I'm doing it for the love so now I'm doin what I want To do with my Channel Live crew so just listen Dissin wack MC's and sparking up mad izm
