[00:20.358][Verse 1: Q-Tip & (Black Thought)]
[00:21.948](Abstract) I wanna be able to reach an MC
[00:23.749]And reach a little child in the same degree
[00:25.810]And my elders excel
[00:27.105]I mean, what the hell? We might as well bridge these gaps
[00:29.624]And all, before we fall in the fire
[00:30.627]
[00:31.128][Verse 2: Black Thought]
[00:31.501]There's a million MC's up on a plan they call real, tryin' to set it
[00:34.719]Profess mic techniques illegit
[00:36.733]Inaccurate perceptions of reality embedded in they mind
[00:39.739]Thus, they rhyme I discredit
[00:41.125]Check it out now!
[00:41.379]
[00:41.628][Verse 3: Q-Tip]
[00:41.878]I use my music, implement it with jewels and sport tools
[00:44.347]To inspire all these too-cool fools who say "Screw school"
[00:47.390]'Cause they don't see the conspiracy
[00:49.147]That's put here to trap you and me, but we can get out
[00:50.707]
[00:50.959][Verse 4: Black Thought]
[00:50.982]Y'all know the Bad Lieutenant
[00:52.303]Be on some whole 'nother other finesse genetic
[00:54.810]They say I get it from my mother, so it's inheredit-ary
[00:58.028]And very necessary to shine
[00:59.526]Legendarily, heavily refined
[01:00.279]
[01:01.035][Verse 5: Q-Tip]
[01:01.536]Contemporaries like The Roots is so rad, it's like, dag!
[01:04.297]Which bag did they come out of?
[01:05.571]And how can I get in it to win it?
[01:07.308]Like a raffle ticket pickin', if you feelin' stuck
[01:09.639]Then guess who did the stickin' of ya feelings, y'all
[01:10.643]
[01:11.414][Verse 6: Black Thought]
[01:11.666]I got this Ital style up-close and personal
[01:13.672]The first I find to violate, I shall retal-iate
[01:15.935]With realism for their whole lo-cal to relate
[01:19.268]We on point like decimal, Abstract, now!
[01:20.019]
[01:20.772][Verse 7: Q-Tip & (Black Thought)]
[01:22.026]Emceein' while I'm breathin' (Emceein' while I'm breathin')
[01:22.415]Emceein' is believin' (Is believin' that what?)
[01:24.427]That you can host a ceremony and the dose is never phony
[01:27.492]In fact, it's quite therapeutic like a B12 hypodermic needle
[01:30.507]So, shoot it!
[01:30.770]
[01:31.055][Verse 8: Black Thought]
[01:31.305]Lyrically elicit
[01:31.580]Up steps the explicit most wicked 7-digit mic wizard
[01:35.166]My tongue lash out and strike with it, ya slightly might miss it
[01:38.226]When I blast through ya section or district to rip it like…
[01:39.735]

[01:57.639]
[01:58.140][Verse 9: Black Thought]
[02:00.165]In my formative years, by my peers I was influenced
[02:02.922]Until the instruments of time killed the congruence
[02:05.946]I peeped the blueprints on how to make true sense
[02:08.453]Of MC's which are a nuisance
[02:09.961]I know just what to do since I'm on another lev'
[02:12.468]Brothers is fakin' jax, think they ready for the rev'
[02:15.020]But they got a lot to learn to make they thoughts long-term
[02:17.815]'Cause they short-cuts'll make a wrong turn, probably
[02:20.610]Timelessly, I construct the fearsome
[02:22.866]To rip ya eardrum for many years to come
[02:25.122]Profession-al style, thinkin' rational to move wise
[02:27.883]So hard, it's a wonder y'all alive...
[02:28.690]

[02:35.287]They fake bleedin', it's obvious that they needin'
[02:37.797]Attention feedin', they cold actin' like heathens
[02:40.583]When mics is picked up, obscene scenes is kicked up
[02:43.090]Like women with the grip up, drinkin' Moët 'til they hiccup
[02:45.884]Fellas hustlin', pickin' bricks up
[02:47.893]Fantasizin' about the illest stick-up
[02:49.646]But rip up the jam and we'll be truly impressed
[02:52.204]On stage, you won't need ya tef' vest (What?)
[02:54.463]Only a mic and a mic test, and at your best
[02:57.482]You get blessed by the fans who profess
[02:59.487]That they can relate to the trials you tribulate
[03:02.028]Or the pains you endure, 'cause some cats is pure
[03:04.797]Tell horrors that are true, but see, cats like you
[03:07.305]Y'all fake joints just to get a woo-hoo
[03:09.565]The tear jerker, you like a miracle worker
[03:11.824]Whose miracles just ran out, I think it's time you pan out
[03:14.831]Or just plain fade 'cause, yo, you played
