[00:06.50]Yo
[00:07.72]Watch as the room rocks
[00:09.03]Mentally moonwalk
[00:10.11]Mixed media slang banging in your boombox
[00:12.52]Verbal violence
[00:13.51]Lyrical stylist
[00:14.78]In a time when rock/hip-hop rhymes are childish
[00:17.40]You can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty
[00:19.52]Rappin' to a beat doesn't make you an emcee
[00:21.86]With your lack of skill and facility you're killing me
[00:24.12]And a DJ in the group just for credibility
[00:26.64]I heard that some of you are gettin' help with your rhymes
[00:29.16]You're not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
[00:31.46]Rappin' over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
[00:33.87]Cuz rock and hip-hop have collaborated for years
[00:36.33]But now they're getting randomly mixed and matched up
[00:38.80]All after a fast buck
[00:39.74]And all the tracks suck
[00:41.02]So how does it stack up?
[00:42.21]None of its real
[00:43.28]You wanna be an emcee?
[00:44.42]You gotta study the skill
[00:46.02]Who can rock a rhyme like this
[00:48.10]Bring it to you every time like this
[00:50.80]Who can rock a rhyme like this
[00:53.14]Step, step up, step, step up
[00:55.33]So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
[00:58.07]But mentally you don't have the hip-hop energy
[01:00.59]With a tendency to make up stories
[01:02.40]It sounded like the only hip-hop you've heard is top-40
[01:05.12]And your record company's completely missed it
[01:07.65]And all the kids are dissin' it for not being legitimate
[01:10.15]So in a battle, you can't hack it
[01:11.76]React with whack shit, and get smacked with verbal backflips
[01:14.75]Get your ass kicked, I'm a fabulous battle catalyst
[01:17.34]It's taken decades for emcees to establish this
[01:19.77]You're new to hip-hop and welcome if you're serious
[01:22.09]But not on a mike, leave that to the experienced
[01:24.56](Using waves of sound the true master paralyzes his opponent
[01:31.11]Leaving him vulnerable to attack)
[01:34.00]Who can rock a rhyme like this
[01:36.07]Bring it to you every time like this
[01:38.80]Who can rock a rhyme like this
[01:41.27]Step, step up, step, step up
[01:43.65]Who can rock a rhyme like this
[01:45.74]Bring it to you every time like this
[01:48.41]Who can rock a rhyme like this
[01:50.81]Step, step up, step, step up, step up
[02:31.88](After years of painstaking research by the world's leading sound scientists
[02:36.92]We here at the sound institute have invented a reliable audio weapon system
[02:41.74]Actual movement of musical sound in space is used to carefully attack
[02:46.10]And neutralize the cellular structure of the human body
[02:49.30]So the question must be asked)
