Blastmaster
Knowledge Reigns Supreme

teed to rip a party
Flat top, braids,

Verse 4
all year for
Am
Big up Grand Wizard Theodore, gettin' ill
MC's can only battle with rhymes
that got punchlines
Let's battle to see who headlines
Instead of flow for flow,
let's go show for show
Toe for toe, yo,
'emcee' lightly
They can't Move a Crowd,
E
Am
not even slightly
It might be the fact that they
express wackness
F
Am
Let me show ya whose ass is the blackest
I flip a script a little bit,
you ride the tip and shit
Now tone it down a bit
E
Am
My title you will never get,
E
Am
I'll send your family my sentiments,
my style is toxic
When I rock and shock and hip hop
E

It split quick from the lyric
Direct hit, perfect fit,

Verse 6
they must respect him
'Cause they know this kid gets all
checkin' 'em, disrespectin' 'em
Just deckin' 'em,
can mimic a style like mine?
I design rhyme and get mine all the time
MC's standin' on the sidelines,
always dissin'
yet some MC's
Believe they could tangle
with the likes of these
Cross your T's and dot your I's
whenever I arrive
F
E
Wide, magnified, live like the ocean tide
Bbm
Am
I reside like Artifacts
Comin' around the mountain,
you run and hide
Hopin' your defense mechanism
As I spark mad izm
The 1996 lyrical style's
E
Am
what I give 'em
Verse 7
MC's act like they

Yo, yo, it's Special K from the Awesome 2

And this the Ooh Child Teddy Tedd
And you know we down with the

One, One, One
Since day one, aight
Awooga
