[Hook] I remain calm, lyrically I got the bomb When you put me on, I remain calm (repeat 4X)
[Malik B] It's the 'I remain calm' but for jurge to erk Come out my humble go berzerk and make you swallow your smirk I splurge most and bash, capacitate mass I fascinate as I assassinate and show task Characters and egos, get crushed in trust And my words stampede like herds in a dusk Cream of all crops, topics I drop with Trotter When heated up, I gets hotter cause I'm proper You never knew the levitude the clever few Different tax for revenue man if you ever knew The tac-tic, strategies, of word, ca-pa-bil-ities Display, de-cease The rhythm, and man how it swerved and curved Made a niggas dream but his hope deferred then stirred Dig the mentals, Papermate, Bic's and Number 2 pencils My credentials blow on instrumentals I write an anthem throw a tantrum and remain handsome Mysterious vibes, like I was the phantom Erupt abruptly, then conduct amaze You're fucked when the lyrics get bucked because I graze Never animosity, on my property Niggas acropoly, or they feel extreme monstrosity Wreakin leak out the verbals ? don't forget it The chief of edit then Malik'll shred it yeah I said it
[Hook]
[Black Thought] That nigga Thought flows like a river, I deliver styles like Domino's Eyes closed I inhale, equality follow me now son Listen, my divisions advance, I surpass one half of the rap mass The other half want my autograph Because I got soul, plus a ghetto stroll, similar to Shaft It's the mic rapers, splittin Phillies in the cellar My acapella verse, can stomp, I delete comp My rated X, larynx, wrecks your context I'm complex, confusin, lyrically amusin, I drink brews Then when I'm groovin I'm no longer human I'd like to take this time, to give a shout to all the money makers In the house galore, they help me turn it out I whip the cap to the max, I'm laid back, like your gramps I make, niggas embarrased like they spendin food stamps I take, my time when I rhyme lovely, me nah like Ugly like, God we get odd to the rhythms Rappers thinkin of steppin up, what the fuck you're doin? I amplify the hymn, to bring your empire to ruin Who's your girl screwin fellas? Jealous because I'm fly Keep my sneakers dry, when you cry-baby See, I can have you headin for the border, like a ReFugee from Haiti Aiyyo, this brother drivin my cab, tried to flip, saying \"Pay me in advance\" -- I asked him if he ever danced In the dark, with the rap devil, Black Thought See niggas who get caught off guard remain scarred Into air, with headphones remainin on the domes, they hair I resound and astound and scare, I reign terror Into another nigga rap era, my rhymes sedate I lubricate, like aloe vera I'm extreme, restin in the land of the plot and the scheme Peace to ? Rock and the Equal Team
