Retrace, wont, so your stubborn like groupies
Kid, you know my flava, tear this whole jam apart
Fuck around and have your heart, like jordan had starks
While you playin hokey pokey, theres no time to be dokey
Cuz I come out to play every night like charles oakley
Dissin around with wack rhymin
You lose your grip from chalk climbin
Let me take this time to say r.i.p. to phyllis hyman
Who never got the props that she damn well deserved
But see me, you dont wanna see me, cuz all mcs are gettin served
The nerve, for you to even step to the phifer
Ill bumrush your set and crush your whole cypher
Reserve, a spot for me in hip hops hall of fame
Cuz rappin aint no game, big up your head and maintain

But yo tip, bring in the chorus cuz Im losin my breath
Consequence:

You know the deal when the diggy dawg is on the scene

You know the deal, ha, you know the deal
Phife:
Big up pop duke, thats where I caught my athleticism
My mama, no doubt, thats where I got my lyricism
My nana, thats where I got my spiritualism
As for tip and shah, they made me stop from smokin izm
Now, when Im with some cheese, I be lettin off gism
Writin rhymes since daddy kane and biz mark was on prism

And when it comes to rhymes, no doubt, I flip em
Sucka mc in my path, hey main, I say we ship him
Money please, your rhymes are wack, say word, this geek is trippin
Just because my name is phife, my man, Im never slippin

For those who act cute, see I got them on mute
Have you walkin through your projects in your birthday suit
Cuz your style is off loot, so I played him like a flute
If youse a sucka mc, then its you I rebuke
My style is, everday all day, similar to water
Crushin mcs as if my name was sargent slaughter
Keep shit hotter...than a sauna
Or better yet, the hormones on your christian daughter
Hey, I tried to warn her
My sounds the type to kill, like the grill on lauryn hill
So all ya sucka mcs, yall best go chill
Bout to go to union square so I can see my care bear
Singin good stuff in my ear, runnin fingers through my hair

Just keep shit hotter than death row-bad boy confrontations
Chillin with fudge love because he represents the haitians

Bouncin it all over the place, in your face
You know what Im sayin? my man lightro...
