Phony rappers, who do not write |

|
Yo, I was riding the train |
|
And this Puerto Rican kid said simple and plain |
|
Let's battle, it kinda took me by surprised |
|
'Cuz the brother was moving wit' his eyes on the prize |
|
I said screw it, I ain't got nuttin' to lose but um |
|
But I got to do this shit real quick so um |
|
Hurry up kid, bust your joints and then I'll bust mine |
|
And I be out 'cuz I got to see this hottie, he said, "Okay" |
|
Now check it, check it out, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah |
|
That's what he said |
|
Then I came back and just fucked up his head |
|
'Cuz yo, he thought an MC who was seen on TV |
|
Couldn't hold the shit down in New York City |
|
Aiyyo, I showed his ass, then I went off on my task |
|
To bless her ass Uptown, real MC's will hold it down |
|
Yeah, yeah, sonny, to the beat like that |
|
You wanna bring it to me, where you at |
|
Yes, dread, I had a similiar situation |
|
When this kid tried to tell me I didn't deserve my occupation |
|
He said I wasn't shit that I was soon to fall |
|
I looked him up and down, grab my crotch and said balls |
|
Of course he tried to bring it on the battling tip |
|
Ay, you know me, you know I had to come out my shit |
|
Trying to lounge at the mall, meet Skef and Mr Walton |
|
Finally I banged his ass wit' the verbal assault |
|
He said a rhyme about his .45 and his nickelbags of weed |
|
That's when I preceeded to give him what he needed |
|
Talking 'bout I need a Phillie right before I get loose |
|
Poor excuse, money please, i get loose off of orange juice |
|
Preferly Minute Maid 'cuz that's exactly what it takes |
|
To write a rhyme, huh, to school your nickels and your dimes |
|
Because an MC like me be on TV |
|
Don't mean I can't hold my shit down in NYC |
|
Phony rappers, who do not write |
|
Phony rappers, who do not excite |
|
Phony rappers, you know they type |
|
Phony rappers, check it |
|
It seems there's a sanitation, y'all full of thrash talker |
|
Sounding good but money can you feed the dog hawker |
|
Talking 'bout your mic days and your breakdancing |
|
Not enhancing, you sound tired |
|
Oh, shit, I didn't know you like to play yourself in front'cha friends |
|
Sitting there, lying to no end |
|
MC's for me make things happening |
|
Talk about a world but in a form of rapping |
|
Who will be the captain of this ship |
|
If it goes down, don't you know you have to go wit' it |
|
Just because you rhyme for a couple of weeks |
|
Doesn't mean that you've reach the MC's peak |
|
Let me stop sounding all bitter |
|
Ghetto child, never be a quitter |
|
But don't be a phony in the litter |
|
Take it as a letter from the better |
|
Take it from a man who used to rhyme in busted ass jetta's |
|
Yo, Phife, you need a condom |
|
Word to God, mess around |
|
I catch AIDS from MC's being on my nuts too hard |
|
'Cuz on my boulevard you better bring your bodyguard |
|
And what's your boulevard, LP, I represent naturally |
|
So don't step on the rolly if you know that you're phony |
|
Or else I bend that ass like Elbow Macaroni |
|
'Cuz I gotta keep it real |
|
(Gotta keep it real) |
|
A Tribe Called Quest, you see we never half step |
|
(So on your mark) |
|
Get ready, MC's be jetti |
|
Me and Phifey be on ya like Veronica and Betty |
|
Archie, Jughead, snuffing Mc's |
|
From Brainslane down to Hempstead |
|
Yes 'Quence, see over |
|
His rhyme style is older that a Chrysler Cordoba |
|
I'm wilder then the cats from Arizona |
|
Villanova, un, un, Kentucky |
|
Whos' the next MC stepping up to try and bust me |
|
Bring him here and boy, will I ever let him have it |
|
And when it comes to the microphone, don't even try to grab it |
|
What? |
|
This feeling of |
|
Embarassment |
|
[Incomprehensible] |
|
If you take that out of the people |
|
Then these people would do whatever they want to do |
|
And that is weird defination of America |
|
And people have no shame and therefore they do |
|
Whatever they want to do |
