Verse 2
Am
If you don't know me by now,
I doubt you'll ever know me
E
I never won a GRAMMY, I won't
win a Tony
Am
But I'm not the only MC keepin' it real
F
When I grab the mic to smash a rapper,
Am

Check the time as I rhyme, it's 1995

Whenever I arrive the party gets liver
Am
Flow with the master rhymer,
as I leave behind

The video rapper, you know,
E
the chart climber

Clapper, down goes another rapper
E
Onto another matter, punch up the data,
Am
Blastmaster
Knowledge Reigns Supreme
E
Over Nearly Everybody
Am
Call up KRS, I'm guaran
F
Am
teed to rip a party
Flat top, braids,
bald heads or knotty dread

a man named Jed

But now Jed is dead, all his kids instead
Wanna kick rhymes off the

This is what you waited
all year for
E
The hardcore, that's what KRS is here for
Am
Big up Grand Wizard Theodore, gettin' ill
E
If you see, then ya saw I'm in your grill
Am
with mad skill
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,
E
you better act like you know
Am
Too many MC's take that word
'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

Too sick to get with it, ad mit you bit,
Am
your style is counterfeit
Now tone it down a bit
E
Am
My title you will never get,
F
I'm too intelligent
E
Am
I'll send your family my sentiments,
my style is toxic
When I rock and shock and hip hop

it unlock your head, I knock it
It split quick from the lyric
Direct hit, perfect fit,

Slappin' and selectin' 'em,
checkin' 'em, disrespectin' 'em
Just deckin' 'em,

Who in their right mind
can mimic a style like mine?
I design rhyme and get mine all the time
MC's standin' on the sidelines,
always dissin'
F
When I roll up and rush they
E
crew they start bitchin'
Am
I don't burn, I don't freeze,
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
Am
You dope, you lied,
Bbm
Am
I reside like Artifacts
F
On the Wrong Side of Da Tracks,
Am
electrified
Comin' around the mountain,
you run and hide
Hopin' your defense mechanism
E
Am
can divert my heat- seeking lyricism
As I spark mad izm
The 1996 lyrical style's
E
Am
what I give 'em
