In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish
In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish
You can’t tempt me with rhymes that are empty
You can’t tempt me with rhymes that are empty
Rapping to a beat doesn’t make you an emcee
Rapping to a beat doesn’t make you an emcee
With your lack of skill and facility
With your lack of skill and facility
You’re killing meAnd a DJ in the group just for credibility
You’re killing me
I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes
And a DJ in the group just for credibility
You’re not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes
And rapping over rock doesn’t make you a pioneer
You’re not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years
And rapping over rock doesn’t make you a pioneer
But now they’re getting randomly mixed and matched up
Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years
All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck
But now they’re getting randomly mixed and matched up

All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck
You want to be an emcee you’ve got to study the skill
So how does it stack up? None of it’s real
You want to be an emcee you’ve got to study the skill

So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
But mentally you don’t have the hip hop energy
So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
With a tendency to make up stories
But mentally you don’t have the hip hop energy
Sounding like the only hip hop you’ve heard is top 40
With a tendency to make up stories
And your record company is completely missing it
Sounding like the only hip hop you’ve heard is top 40
All the kids are dicing it for not being legitimate
And your record company is completely missing it
So in a battle you can't hack it
All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate
React with whack ***And get smacked with verbal back flips
So in a battle you can't hack it
Get your *** kicked by fabulous battle catalysts
React with whack ****
It's taken decades for emcees to establish this
And get smacked with verbal back flips
You’re new to hip hop and welcome if your serious
Get your *** kicked by fabulous battle catalysts
But not on the micLeave that to the experienced
It's taken decades for emcees to establish this
You’re new to hip hop and welcome if your serious

(After years of pain staking research by the world's leading sound scientists,
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
we here at the sound institute have invented a reliable audio weapons system.
Step, step up, step, step up
Actual movement of musical sound in space used to carefully attack
and neutralize the cellular structure of the human body, and the question must be asked.)
