[Kardinal Offishall] Check it A dis ain't a dis if a dis has discrepancies I dismiss your dissidences and doubt your intelligence And discuss how disjoint your disc From the dispatch, a distance throw all y'all from shit that's wack Steady disguising your disfavour, disliking my steelo Dis ain't kindergarten, you don't have to go where we go Discipline yourself before your ego disappears While I discretely disassemble you from your career Stupid! Dis is not your ordinary rapper dis Dis so all you niggas discover just who the dapper is Causing discomfort, disallowing your dis-jock to rock Any record 'cause your whole sound's flop, yo Dis is going out to niggas who dis without Thinking about what the hell they doing, yo your shit we're booing Oh... while I discombobulate you This is going out to any nigga opposing my crew Like that Yo, Silver House And the Girl 2000 Kardinal Offishall, in your ear side, nawmean
