* slight variation between the original and the re-release in song title |
| [00:02.22][Intro] |
|
| [00:02.43] |
One two one two check one two |
| [00:05.37] |
The Genius in the place to be |
| [00:06.75][Verse 1] |
|
| [00:08.94] |
I make the mic pump my mic makes the party jump |
| [00:11.67] |
And poison beats make hip-hoppers stomp |
| [00:13.74] |
Their feet kinda wild, to give off sparks |
| [00:15.99] |
But I'll still light it up when the place is pitch dark |
| [00:18.45] |
Now that you witnessed me this get this correct, rap wreck |
| [00:21.06] |
When I'm speaking it's the God projecting |
| [00:23.01] |
Facts into brains of those unaware |
| [00:25.41] |
Now you're facing the truth in the square |
| [00:27.48] |
Biters like biting, then yo you should chew this |
| [00:29.82] |
Your man wants to beef, then we can do this |
| [00:32.07] |
Then when it's time for you to face the God |
| [00:34.80] |
I'll be giving you the whole nine yards |
| [00:36.63] |
With lyrics that breaks the laws of gravity |
| [00:38.97] |
So sweet to biters it gives them cavities |
| [00:41.22] |
And can't be healed from the strongest toothpaste |
| [00:43.68] |
So keep biting to see how the truth taste |
| [00:45.81] |
You need guidance and self-assistance |
| [00:48.00] |
Cause you lack the training to go the distance |
| [00:50.28] |
But I'll rhyme, to the fullest length |
| [00:52.29] |
And this is just a fraction of the strength |
| [00:54.54][Hook] |
|
| [00:54.69] |
Of the Genius |
| [00:58.89] |
Words from a Genius |
| [01:00.24][Verse 2] |
|
| [01:03.90] |
I'll never sweat an MC then say I wanna be him |
| [01:06.06] |
Cause he makes a hit records and flips a coliseum |
| [01:08.52] |
I learn to lead myself, not be a follower |
| [01:11.04] |
I'm not a biter, stupid rhyme swallower |
| [01:13.05] |
I created something funky fresh funky new |
| [01:15.12] |
Brothers started playing monkey see and monkey do |
| [01:17.46] |
Should I explain hip-hop, okay I love it |
| [01:19.71] |
Simple definition but ya still don't know the half of it |
| [01:22.23] |
All I need is a mic, a beat, then I'll step free |
| [01:24.42] |
And flip like I'm bugging off Bacardi and Pepsi |
| [01:26.58] |
Dancers on stage like Alvin Ailey |
| [01:28.62] |
While I'm deep into the roots like Alex Haley |
| [01:30.93] |
You wanna try me, and be worn and torn |
| [01:33.21] |
Step forward, I'll get on and start to born |
| [01:35.82] |
A pumpin self explanator rap |
| [01:37.86] |
Make a sucker MC like you clap |
| [01:39.87] |
Your hands, while you clap the sound's intact |
| [01:42.66] |
You react like an infant response to Similac |
| [01:44.91] |
Or then again, could have been Enfamil |
| [01:47.01] |
But for your information the rhyme is real |
| [01:49.71] |
MC's wonder what's hip-hop thunder |
| [01:51.78] |
Tell you the truth it's just One Nation Under |
| [01:53.91] |
A Groove, getting down for the funk of it |
| [01:56.37] |
Like Fred Sanford in the business for the junk of it |
| [01:58.77] |
When I'm premitted to break down a poem |
| [02:00.57] |
I'm like knotty hair rippin out teeth from a comb |
| [02:03.12] |
One by one so who you calling your troops on |
| [02:05.34] |
Ya couldn't even bust a grape, with spike boots on |
| [02:07.71] |
Biters are crooks and try to steal the stage |
| [02:09.93] |
I read em like books, flip em and turn the page |
| [02:12.57] |
I'm The Genius, you're living in deep fear |
| [02:14.52] |
Go home and write and come try me next year |
| [02:16.62] |
With stacks of rhymes or you'll be feelin ill troop |
| [02:18.75] |
You being stuck in the ice cream and didn't know the scoop |
| [02:21.06][Hook (2x)] |
|
| [02:21.27][Verse 3] |
|
| [02:38.61] |
Some say The Genius, has a style of his own |
| [02:41.55] |
And his hands are like Vice-Grips holdin a microphone |
| [02:44.13] |
Flowin smooth, with rhymes that are rough |
| [02:46.32] |
Because I can't get enough |
| [02:48.15] |
So I practice not what I preach but what I teach |
| [02:51.00] |
In which the critics say is improper speech |
| [02:52.95] |
But it's proper, only to those who understand |
| [02:55.26] |
Why I walk on stage with a mic in my hand |
| [02:57.36] |
As brothers look on, label me as a psycho |
| [03:00.00] |
Just because I'll jump on stage and grab a micro-phone |
| [03:02.58] |
From a so-called said to be MC |
| [03:04.56] |
Who admires me with jealousy and envy |
| [03:06.69] |
My rhymes are delivered with style and potential |
| [03:09.00] |
Words are flowin smoothly in a sequential |
| [03:11.40] |
Order, revealin hidden tape recorders |
| [03:13.50] |
Stuffed inside pockets and those I'll slaughter |
| [03:15.84] |
But I don't get upset, when you bite and steal |
| [03:18.72] |
I go home and write some ill |
| [03:20.28] |
Stacks of poetry, page after page |
| [03:22.77] |
Imagining the scen-ery onstage |
| [03:24.69] |
I catch flash-backs of the seminar |
| [03:27.09] |
As I crush the dreams of a wannabe star |
| [03:29.46] |
Self-explanatory words are shifted |
| [03:31.77] |
In a unbitten style cause I'm gifted |
| [03:33.99] |
And talented, with the lyrical ability |
| [03:36.42] |
Bound to **** up a hip-hop facility |
| [03:38.61] |
Damaging MC's who dare to enter |
| [03:40.71] |
The center, then challenge the inventor |
| [03:43.08] |
Of an impartial rhymin status |
| [03:45.36] |
Followed a relevant apparatus |
| [03:47.67] |
The way I come off on the mic is attractive |
| [03:50.07] |
I can make a quadriplegic hyperactive |
| [03:52.26] |
With lyrics of friction causing mics to spark |
| [03:54.72] |
My style couldn't be bitten by a shark |
| [03:56.97] |
MC's don't understand the way I be bombin em |
| [03:59.22] |
Roll up and ask me what's the phenomenon |
| [04:01.41] |
First of all homeboy when I'm battlin |
| [04:03.90] |
I'm like a doctor shootin deadly insulin |
| [04:06.06] |
Into MC's like that of a syringe |
| [04:08.70] |
And dare you to seek for revenge |
| [04:10.29][Hook (2x)] |
