[Verse One: Nick Javas] Opportunity knocks! You better listen or you miss it Nah but not me, see I was born to glisten In other words shine, since the day of my christenin And not just from the holy water drippin Off the dome like flows with gems pro's I'm spittin They compare me to the legend from the home of the Pistons Must have been your vision that was in on that decision Thank you, for real, but you gotta be kiddin? Comparin me to Mr. Mathers See I know I show talent and potential, but so does Hank Gathers Rest in peace meanwhile let's increase The love for the game invented in the streets Of The South South Bronx!!! Can't rep the borough 'Cause I am from the Jers and I'm definetly thorough My confidence, makes it pretty hard to stay modest Truthfully seems I'm heatin up the booth Preme be honest
[Interlude: DJ Premier Scratchin] (Nick Javas) W-W-Why do you? Waste my time like this ("Ray Walston") (Waste your time? Are you kiddin me?) I-I don't know ("James Brown") (What you mean you don't know?) That's what-That's what-That's what I said!!! (Yeah I heard what you said but I'm kinda surprised but I thought it was dope) You-You better be highly skilled you-you understand that?! You-You-You-You ain't ready for war! ("Jay-Z")
[Verse Two: Nick Javas] Alright..Alright, alright, alright, now let me calm down Maybe got ahead of myself, but it's gone now Back to earth, +Pakinamac+ in a verse Not in the back of the ak', but in the backpack with the Jack flask A pen and pad that'll end your career Nicolas Jav', bringin lead to your ear And not a 22, but TWO 22s' Aimed at an emcee with an ego ready to bruise Whoever thought a Bic and a pad that's a quarter-inch thick could be deadly when mixed in a medley with Nick You betta be sick if you readily spit If you're in pain, take a Lil' Wayne track 6 I'm insane, that's it! Came into the game that quick and the name's Javas Never forget it 'cause it WILL be re-pedded OOPS! I mean repeated, however never defeated
[Interlude: DJ Premier Scratchin] (Nick Javas) You are good (Wow! I managed to impressed the legend) H-Hold it hold it just a minute (But you admit ot you liked it) Y-Y-Y-Y-YEAAHHHHH!!! ("Afrika Bambaataa") (Yeah! Now I'm just gettin warmed up) Do you know, what your sayin? (I'm sayin it's nothin I got more!) A-Aight! (Can I close it out?) Do your thang and keep movin!!! ("Skillz")
[Verse Three: Nick Javas] {*exhales*} I gotta take a step back, man I'm floatin In the studio with Preme, most cats don't even know him! Alright enough brown-nosin for the time bein I'm just appreciatin what I'm seein This is crazy I'm spittin from the same booth as Big, Rakim, Nas and Jay-Z! Thinkin back to the times when my rhymes were basic I coulda worn a "What Would Jay Do?" bracelet Never had the slightest thought of makin it And now I find myself in the presence of greatness On the same mic when +Nas Was Like...+ in the +New York State of Mind+ So all you need is play and +Rewind+ I'm standin in the same booth, where the rapper with clout was unbelievable And +Doubt+ was +Reasonable+ I'm on the Preme Team for the long run So when the song's done I am where I belong, one!
