[00:19.854] Your new lesson is to realize the mission when you hear it
[00:22.507] Emceein, see I got this in my spirit
[00:24.641] I got verses like Mahalia singin' church hymns
[00:27.281] So strap up because you skatin' on ice that's wild thin
[00:29.964] A weak foundation doesn't make a good home
[00:32.347] That's why mine is built on chrome microphones
[00:34.860] We bout to do it theoretically, unsteadily, to the medley
[00:39.066] Come on
[00:39.939] It's the complete Kamaal, unique, Fareed, breed
[00:42.461] That'll keep you broke down like a Ross 5 speed
[00:44.843] So move buddy, a yo we got to get this money
[00:47.552] In this land of dead and crummy, ain't a damn thing funny
[00:49.980] Ay yo, shout out to Mobb Deep, the Extra P
[00:52.843] Busta Rhymes, De La, the J Beez, and don't sleep
[00:55.516] We got reality for the cabbage
[00:57.552] Staying sincere to this, so I know we gonna manage
[01:00.017] Give me, liberty in mass amounts and Swiss bank accounts
[01:03.240] With the sustainer, it'll be real
[01:04.989] So me and my brothers, we can sit down and build
[01:07.623] Like Rampage with that Last Boy Scout appeal
[01:10.147] We got that silk, satin, Manhattan intelligence feel
[01:12.514] That keeps everything on even keels
[01:14.514] So all you slow brothers talkin' yang, ya poo-tang
[01:17.601] Now, we gonna show you how the real crew bang
[01:19.969] Ay yo, I bring it to you live kid, Queens niggas love static
[01:22.678] Your rap's had it, braggin' more numbers than mathematics
[01:25.082] I get brains on Craftmatics and leave your wet dreams shattered
[01:27.687] That's the same guy be skeetin' in your mugshot
[01:29.956] I stay hot like summertime on LBQ and boo-boos
[01:33.077] The love shack is 1-9-2, my joint's smooth
[01:35.630] To watch y'all niggas fall like Lin Que
[01:37.503] I keep it brand new like school shoppin', it's on and poppin'
[01:40.435] The club peeps this nigga's steez like radars
[01:42.504] You get laid off while I'll be gaming ghetto girl like 8-Off
[01:45.220] The verdict's in, I be the Luke of Linden
[01:47.471] Give up your goods cuz it's the start of your endin'
[01:50.241] (Where ya at?) We seein' life for what it is
[01:53.189] (Where ya at?) We get this money for these kids
[01:56.034] (Where ya at?) We bout to build the foundation
[01:59.952] Now, all that Glock totin' trash you talk will not prevail
[02:02.798] It's stale, you'll either be dead or in jail
[02:05.151] I keep it realer than the logo on milk
[02:07.510] Denouncing tough guy wannabes that look smoother than silk
[02:10.078] That's the sound of the man getting yanked off the stage
[02:13.266] Trying to front like he mad paid
[02:15.256] Sucking so bad, we threw his mama off the train (insane)
[02:17.788] MCs are just givin' it all away (OK)

[02:22.804] Mess around and get your ass knocked down (clown)
[02:25.577] I dedicate this to the posers that play hard
[02:27.767] You wanna hear some rhymes, well then bring your bodyguard
[02:30.222] So he can peep the worldwide Willie that we display
[02:32.746] Leaving all MCs in complete disarray

[02:42.783] '**** outta here, do I look like I care?
[02:45.323] Come off my stage before I grab ya neck and handle ya
[02:47.903] Wet ya like punani, then dry you like Canada
[02:50.493] Shaheed Muhammad's on the Gemini mixer
[02:52.943] Peace to Derrick Coleman, Mad Max and the Sixers
[02:55.494] I'm cappin' hard cuz I got this rap shit sold
[02:57.655] From Linden Boulevard down to Cascade Road
[03:00.333] You know my steez, I treat hip-hop like a sport
[03:02.862] Holdin' down fort up on Martinique Court like...
[03:05.605] (Where ya at?) We seein' life for what it is
