[00:26.09]Back in the days on the boulevard of Linden,
[00:27.87]We used to kick routines and presence was fittin'
[00:30.41]It was I the abstract
[00:31.90]And me the five footer
[00:32.91]I kicks the mad style so step off the frankfurter
[00:35.31]Yo, Phife, you remember that routine
[00:37.14]That we used to make spiffy like mister clean?
[00:40.10]Um um, a tidbit, um, a smidgen

[01:02.36]My crew is never ever wack because we stand strong
[01:04.94]Now if you say my style is wack that's where you're dead wrong
[01:07.31]I slayed that body in El Segundo then push it along
[01:10.01]You'd be a fool to reply that Phife is not the man
[01:12.39]Cause you know and I know that you know who I am
[01:14.89]A special shot of peace goes out to all my pals, you see
[01:17.53]And a middle finger goes for all you punk MC's
[01:19.91]Cause I love it when you wack MC's despise me
[01:22.36]They get vexed, I roll next, can't none contest me
[01:24.85]I'm just a fly MC who's five foot three and very brave
[01:27.28]On job remaining, no I'm chaining cause I misbehave
[01:29.86]I come correct in full effect have all my hoes in check
[01:32.38]And before I get the butt the jim must be erect
[01:34.88]You see, my aura's positive I don't promote no junk
[01:37.36]See, I'm far from a bully and I ain't a punk

[02:11.58]And me, the abstract
[02:12.72]The rhymes were so rumpin' that the brothers rode the 'zack
[02:15.33]Yo, tip you recall when we used to rock
[02:17.35]Those fly routines on your cousin's block
[02:19.82]Um, let me see, damn I can't remember

[02:35.13]Okay, if knowledge is the key then just show me the lock
[02:35.24]Got the scrawny legs but I move just like Luke Brock
[02:39.98]With speed I'm agile plus I'm worth your while
[02:42.69]One hundred percent intelligent black child
[02:45.07]My optic presentation sizzles the retina
[02:47.60]How far must I go to gain respect? Um
[02:50.08]Well, it's kind of simple, just remain your own
[02:52.46]Or you'll be crazy sad and alone
[02:54.50]Industry rule number four thousand and eighty
[02:57.62]Record company people are shady
[03:00.36]So kids watch your back 'cause I think they smoke crack
[03:02.60]I don't doubt it, look at how they act
[03:04.80]Off to better things like a hip-hop forum
[03:07.46]Pass me the rock and I'll storm with the crew and
