Now its the mad magician with the ill deposition No repetition holdin down Bronx tradition My composition simply squash the competition Step up and get beat into submission Cause this musician with the street intuition 7-35 fuel-injected transmission My opposition will have to recognize my steez Exotic trees leave a trail of scuffed up knees So please you couldn't touch this cat with a stick Quick to inflict tricks blaze up in the flick Son I'm sick and you could put that on my mama Exclamation point, quotation, comma Lay up on the beaches when I'm down in the Bahamas The skills go back to the days of wonderama So pass the scama, son its time to get this money So we can relax and recline where its sunny

(Andre the Giant)] You better take me out quick Cause I'm accurate when I bust mine And make it count like Jordan at crunch time Just in case I play Fishburn and double up on nines You can never make it rain or stop my sunshine So I keep eyes on these chumps the whole time Take note of your technique like we sceme on dimes Disregard your crew, fuck your heart Put a slug in me, it'll be marriage 'Til death do us part Until then master this art and kill them With the pen thats dramatic, automatics I commit sins Hold my head, but when I've had it I test chins If that ain't real then feel the stainless steel Bang'em and hang'em like they did our relatives Thought he was the best on the mic that ever lived, negative Wu-diggity if you with me then say word Lets get twisted like bottlecaps [and] create like Spielberg
