Ayo,

calling all hot college radio spots

I'm coming to your city

playing connect the dots

If you can't bite the apple then we brought

the applesauce

WHAT IT MEANS IS the versatile

still got the moxie

When it comes to

Shit you love, that gets true love

In places where nothing else

does

The underground rise above

All the cream in this coffee mug,

like what?

The steam when we make

shit hot, THANKS ALOT to

All those who know True School is a must

If the records in your crates

don't collect no dust

And your steel wheels got no rust

Tables are turning towards

Brothers with hot lyrics that keep

yours ears burning like

UNSPOKEN HEARD is down with us

C. V. (?) is down with us

Raw Shack records you just

can't trust but

Rolling with the punches is

a definite must

I'm number 7 on the mic

Babydoll don't forget

Some of y'all scratch your head

like your scalp got lice

I live and die for it, just cause, not just cuz

So if it ain't justice then you get just ICE

See, at the date of this writing,

yo my shit's on hold

At the date of this writing I'm predicted gold

If 500, 000 love real rhymes and beats

I'll be halfway to platinum

when it hits the streets

So did you miss me? (YEAH)

Well, I missed you too

Did you miss me? (for real?)

Yo, I missed you too

The hip- hop in my veins to

which I stay true

Tradition's brand old,

but the flavor's brand new

Now did you miss me? (word)

Then I missed you too

But if you diss me

You better know I diss you too

The hip- hop in my veins

to which I stay true

Got crab mutherfuckers not

doing doo- doo

Now do you think that you can handle

my derogitory style

That knocks the wind out

you like a flagrant foul

Oh, you drop some shit?

But I transform the crowd into

fecofeliacs when move my vowels

And when you got to try

to throw in the towel

I wet it, rip you with it, wait a minute,

don't look now

Cuz I'm so amped up to set this off

We goin back in time to snatch out yer mother's

(PUSH!) womb right now

Now, now, now,

how's that for hostile?

Who's that that stated

The Live one that brag is

the most overrated

Ain't I rated over most that brag?

Damn right, and one, now what?

But my juice on ice

that says concentrate

Has no expiration date

No matter how long you wait

So you better in a cesspool

with no BENCH

Tryna combat the STENCH

With a stick of inCENSE

Kid, it doesn't make SENSE

Claiming Live is past TENSE

Under false preTENSE

So repent with knees BENT

See, my time and my money's

both wisely spent

I'm beyond fresh

I'm heaven sent with a lemon scent

Cutting you up

Like Eric B. running for president

So a penny for your thoughts

isn't worth a red cent

Now, you stepping in my realm

of malicious intent

You get powerbombed like

a Sid Vicious event

So ask yourself, when your rules

and your back gets bent

Where your pride and your props and back- up went,
