0:23Yeah yeah it's that philly s**t

0:25Yo yo
0:26You don't see us
0:26But we see you
0:28You stuck on sleep
0:29Get on your p's and q's
0:30'Cause you will get crept
0:31Wit no discrept
0:33You know the rep
0:34We keep the flows in check
0:35Mesmerizing
0:36State of the art caffeine
0:38It's over head like omni verse screen
0:40I'm not the average savage that curse queens
0:43I'm something from his worst dreams
0:44First we handling first things
0:46I'm subsurface unseen
0:48Grat'll hold planet by purse strings
0:50Mc's are earthlings
0:51Not built to hurt things
0:53Speaking the words of weaklings
0:54Nothing but sweet things
0:55Man each world
0:56It ain't no time to recline
0:58Act up
0:58Get clapped up
0:59My mind is the nine
1:00Shine like jewels that spark
1:01Swimming with sharks
1:02Never caught speaking to narc's
1:04That's weak in the parks
1:05I'm the type to sit back and analyze the prize
1:08Grip it up and flee the scene wit a different disguise
1:10Take a detour
1:11I be all that I can be w***e
1:12Talkin' to this b***h life
1:14Had to make her my wife
1:15Live twice
1:16Got seven more lives to live
1:17I'm all out
1:18Takin' things to the fullest extent
1:20Help me get it down and we can split one hundred percent
1:23Run a rapper through a maze like a experiment
1:25Word up
1:26You know the legendary roots crew
1:28Yo
1:28The raw dice rise like a creature from out the swamp
1:35Wit my blood thirsty clergy that's on the hunt for conk
1:46Who pumps your heart
1:48I made you want to rhyme from the start
1:55You should be more alert
1:56Then you wouldn't get hurt
1:57Get off your horse and on your p's and beware
2:00Of images you seein'
2:01Did deceiving
2:01You're scared
2:02And even more shook up than the scenes that's near
2:04I'm dice raw
2:05Sting the inside of your mouth like a cold sore
2:07Who want to piece
2:08Well it's round one
2:09Let's begin
2:10I got a gun that's don't bust
2:11It just suck n***as in
2:12I got s**t that'll have you begging me to shoot ya
2:15I'm the professor
2:16You rock a dunce cap
2:17Go get a tutor
2:18Yo
2:18Okay computer
2:19Radiohead's knock to the future
2:21Shock like kurtis
2:22At your service
2:23None other than
2:23The fifth governing playin the cut again
2:25Y'all clueless to what the f**k is up again
2:28Yo
2:28Hard times and sufferin'
2:29What
2:30My peoples in the crevices strugglin'
2:31'Nuff of them untie soldier thespian
2:34But I'm from the next e on
2:35Supreme being that's unseen for mc'n
2:37Yo
2:38They all around me 'round me
2:43On my head
2:44They got a bounty
2:47I'm tryin' to get this bell up so I can flee your county
2:53Triple six
2:59Come in my mix
3:00Flood it wit tricks
3:04I'm sharper than rough spoons for icepicks
3:08N***as price bricks till dawn
3:09If the money is long
3:10Cats who play strong will inhale
3:12Then go play bong
3:13You wrong son
3:13You thought I wasn't droppin' a ton
3:15Sit and think about the way I want to tally a sum
3:18Ah yo I sneakfully snuck up from behind and got you
3:20From over there in them bushes
3:22I chilled and watched you
3:23Dancin' all dolly as you p***y for them folly
3:25I knock you out wit one punch from me you been ali ed
3:28I float like hovercrafts and sting like vaccinations
3:30When my name said out loud
3:31You'll lose your concentration
3:33Dice raw
3:35D I c e r a w
3:38You want to take it
3:41Otherwise

3:48Zero
3:48Rough as sandpaper but still smooth as a tiptoe
3:53Raw's takin' over

3:56A lot of kids can rap but you f**kin wit the pros
4:04Ya know what I'm sayin'
