[Inspectah Deck] Yo.. INS the Rebel, your highness with 7L and Esoteric, speaking real words Speak on it kid!
[Esoteric] Yo, I touch the mic like a savage The Esoteradactyl`s rap style`s beyond average To say the least, I`m slayin beasts with the right plan I`ll take your hype man and beat him with the mic stand You`re like, "Damn! I better get a resource" I`ll overpower three-fourths of your police force You`re talkin to a fugitive who`ll serve your crew fake his own death and come back to murder you Who raps to the crack of dawn? Who`s the droid who destroyed numerous humanoids like atom bombs? You`re nothin but a tag-a-long, that I be raggin on 7L`s on the cut, while Joe is tappin on the 3000, me I`m just loungin Waitin for a sucker MC to start poundin You know the deal, so check the cassette It`s Esoteric and Inspectah Deck, what you expect?

[Inspectah Deck] Yo, yo, yo I stash heat, creep past police on the beat Keep it movin in the mean streets, I the black sheep Roll deep with the Killa Beez, quick on the squeeze Freeze - nobody move, just hand over the G`s Gone with the breeze, everything`s peace at ease Now I`m laid back, countin stacks, twistin the trees My rap`s scorchin - way beyond third degrees Enemies get blown like autumn leaves Authorities comb the block, I`m peepin they steez After me cause the rhyme`s worth about two ki`s And double that `cross seas Fiends buy off the heez, the result`s more currencies Them no worry we, I strike em down suddenly Funny how they rush me, must be the money You hate me or you love me, don`t ever (fuck) me Trust me, we can make the scene turn ugly

[Esoteric] I`m like a man posessed that can`t confess Yes it`s the Es` to bless, wicked test pressed to rest Crab rapper, my raps shatter your wax platter Esoteric`s data can stab up the tracks badder My words flow for the, rap cats who rep locally Transmit poetry fit to hit em globally Eso`, yes status fresh from the get go Sinister, ready to administer the death blow on rap cats cause I`m takin it back to a time when it was cool to call hip-hop rap Cause I`ve been rappin, since fly sneakers were cheap since I bought em off Koreans down on Washington Street Since I had a cameo, since I rocked rope chains Since I had gold fronts with the Polo frames Since "Goin` Way Back," since pro black rap Since the Jungle Brothers let me know "I Got it Like That"
