But not scarred physically (WHAT?)

I correct your ego (YOUR EGO?)
I'ma show you how it go {*scratch "go"*}
Cause you killin me, ain't no skill in you
With my hands on you I wouldn't be feelin you

Start practicin, master your flow
You might as well, turn in your mic

How does it feel to be the man on top
when everything you got ain't any of your props?
You need to

[Verse Three - Chali 2na]
When you think about rap in it's entirety
Violence became variety
Silently personalities differ from what they try to be
2na be on the frontline, with rhyme shell I hit you
You're sluggish like a barbituate
We can make you admit you bit
A hectic thrill, connect with Will
and we create with the kung-fu collective skill
The checks get real, people think this shit is hunky-dory
It's another story while we be fightin for re-
-demption pimps and prostitutes get the break they need
With breakneck speed, the fakes succeed indeed
Thinkin life is a party and it's a must to please
But many pop MC's work for Mephistopheles stop it please
Choppin broccoli happily for your company
Publically sellin Satan when really you should be bumpin the truth
So stop now
* Stop now, get original
Just practice and master your flow
