[00:26.34]The blind and enlighten the mind [00:27.67]And the lines are arranged [00:28.61]In a strange unorthodox style [00:30.21]That knocks you out the box [00:31.31]And blocks the competition [00:32.55]On a mission fishin' in an empty tank [00:34.79]Comin' up blank [00:35.75]Crank the drums up so I can hear it [00:37.56]And it sums up the thumbs up on the lyrics [00:40.11]And I'm droppin' it [00:41.02] [00:41.60]Heavy like lead we're dumb kid [00:43.73]Can you pick the perfect poet out the patch [00:45.50]E he scratches I make the words match [00:47.41]Try to catch up and you'll break

the head [00:56.92]Not to put it to bed but instead [00:58.81]Pick his brains just like a psychiatrist [01:00.84]He had no idea that I could just [01:02.98]Mentally took the brother for bad [01:04.23]I just wanted to see what [01:05.59]Kinda knowledge he had [01:06.66]He wasn't too bright [01:07.65]So I had to shed some light [01:09.16]And now me and the kid's alright [01:10.45]He heard

[01:41.83]I was taught to go for mine [01:43.33]Even if I had to throw for mine that's fine [01:45.45]But I left the neighbourhood [01:46.58]Just cos I came to Cali [01:47.88]Don't mean I went Hollywood [01:49.60]I'm still good and why shouldn't I kick it [01:51.36]Stay awhile the freestyle is wicked [01:53.10]Rough and rugged but it's not ragged [01:55.05]Cos it's not the way Def Jef does it [01:57.08]When I get in it I rhyme infinite [01:59.38]And that means forever [02:00.84]Whether obstacles in the way hinder [02:02.80]They bother me not a bit cos hey [02:04.90]Small things are nothin' to a giant [02:06.97] [02:07.69]When rappers get defiant [02:08.82] [02:09.50]I ain't scared I'm prepared [02:10.75]Within my realm no souls are spared [02:12.52]Don't try to read me you'll be
