[00:28.04]I rock the mic like it's my last chance to breathe
[00:30.41]Display a level of skill you could only hope to achieve
[00:32.59]Within this lifetime and I write rhymes that'll make marks
[00:35.19]Shut the f**k up  when I recite mines
[00:37.07]State syllables on snares
[00:37.94]Like bombs  so I'm guaranteed to blow up
[00:40.32]When I touch down on tracks
[00:41.65]Watch your whole crew collapse
[00:42.95]Like households  then I introduce the crack
[00:45.12]Black motherf**kers
[00:45.51]
[00:46.13]Thinking it's dope time to shine
[00:48.13]Lackluster blockbuster b-boys
[00:50.22]Went Krush Groove and Beat Street
[00:51.80]Now they think it's safe to drop styles on beat
[00:53.97]I make them all retreat  like back to back Halloweens
[00:56.01]Destroy the following
[00:57.10]Believing rap's the sport for spectators
[00:59.02]How the f**k you supposed to blow up
[01:00.69]Living Legends got the detonator
[01:01.55]
[01:02.16]For all these bitch-ass record haters

[01:37.55]To let you know where I'm comin from
[01:39.32]Living Legends bitch  don't act dumb
[01:40.87]Cause some will wanna denounce the name
[01:42.61]Some nerd-ass niggas  without an ounce of game
[01:45.31]Tape sounds the same as the rest of them
[01:47.19]Murs ends the careers  of the best of them
[01:49.65]I mean this nigga starts battles in empty rooms
[01:51.62]And after I consume my shadow
[01:53.46]I'mma travel to your homestead
[01:54.78]Blow you out in front of your own hedge
[01:56.71]First fly off the dome like led in gunfights
[01:58.74]F**k everything you done witcha whole life
[02:00.68]After battlin me  you'll only remember this one night
[02:03.47]Play it over and over again in your mind like Bill Murray

[02:13.00]And see  where you need to be
[02:14.59]Proceed with me
[02:15.34]Through them underground catacombs
[02:16.06]
[02:16.82]Where the Living Legends roam
[02:18.27]Perfectin the techniques to speak
[02:19.70]On phones type micro
[02:20.78]Thinkin you  buildin a reputation
[02:22.61]Just perpetuatin the cycle

[02:54.38]
[02:54.90]MC's on the planet  yes I cram to understand it
[02:57.97]And hopefully shed light
[02:58.97]In a time when niggas is hopin on open mics
[03:01.52]Instead of what they write
[03:02.76]I compose prose to leave foes froze like Bobby Drake
[03:05.49]Go below zero with the flow and never break
[03:07.62]Ever make a man come to tears
[03:09.48]After rippin his ass  in front of his peers
[03:12.02]That's the shit I live for
[03:13.08]And that's why you live in fear
