[01:10.43]Deaf and blind cause I was born with a sharp mind [01:12.68]Eating MC's with ease like it's lunchtime [01:14.75]Or crunchtime when they get done without warning [01:17.25]I'll bust that butt from nighttime till morning [01:19.65]Your song's boring and so I'm scoring [01:21.95]Much points cause when it's time to throw joints [01:23.92]I cause havoc the mic I grab is like savage [01:26.53]I

fakes like a taste of some poison [01:54.40]Punks are thinking they're alla [01:55.55]That their voices are all flat [01:56.93]They're finding their names in a wack rapper's almanac [01:59.36]Me

enterprise [02:08.21] [02:08.94]Starship heading straight for the target [02:10.84]Destination a place where no perpetration [02:13.33]Is permitted the guru is with it to explain [02:15.69]How some MC's are scared to ride on a four train [02:17.99]Or any other train in the city for that matter [02:20.37]Playing a role that they stole like a batter [02:22.58]But I know they ain't so I'll paint the real picture [02:25.13]My vocals go solo and like a bolo I'll hitcha [02:27.43]Square in your face I'll crack your ribs and your chest [02:29.74]Cause you thought your off-brand jam was the best

[02:57.85]Rhymes like daggers make blood spill out [03:00.24]But you can't blame me for bringing disaster [03:02.31]With all these ducks claiming that they're the masters [03:04.64]Only thing they mastered is how to get wacker [03:07.01]As I roll uphill they roll downhill faster [03:09.63]Now they're wondering how they lost their touch [03:11.62]Wanna buy my rhymes but mine cost too much
