Q-tip:
Your new lesson is to realize the mission when you hear it
Mcin, see i got this in my spirit
I got verses like mahalia singin church hymns
So strap up because you skatin on ice that's wild thin
A weak foundation doesn't make a good home
That's why mine is built on chrome microphones
We bout to do it theoretically, insteadibly, to the medley
Come on
It's the complete kamal, unique, fareed, breed
That'll keep you broke down like a horse 5 speed
So move buddy, a yo we got to get this money
In this land of dead and crummy, ain't a damn thing funny
A yo, shout out to mobb deep, the extra p
Busta rhymes, de la, the j beez, so don't sleep
We got reality for the carriage
Stayin sincere to this, so i know we gonna manage
Give me, liberty in mass amounts and swiss bank accounts
With the sustainer, it'll be real
So me and my brothas, we can sit down and build
Like rampage with that last boy scout appeal
We got that silk, satin, manhattan intelligence feel
That keeps everything on even keels
So all you slow brothas talkin yang, ya poo tang
Now, we gonna show you how the real crew bang
Consequence:
A yo, i bring it to you live kid, queens niggaz love static
Your rap's had it, braggin more numbers than mathematics
I get brains on progmatic from leavin wet dreams shattered
That's the same copy gettin in your mug shot
I stays hot like summertime on lbq and boo boo
The love shack is 192, my joint's smooth
To watch them niggaz fall like linque
I keeps it brand new like school shoppin
It's on and poppin
The club peeps this nigga's steez like rayon
You get laid off while i'll be gamin ghetto girl like 8-off
The verdict's in, i be the look of blendin
Give up your goods cuz it's the start of your endin

It's stale, you'll either be dead or in jail
I keeps it realer than the local one mill
Denouncin tough guy wannabes that look smoother than silk
That's the sound of the man gettin yanked off the stage
Tryin to front like he mad paid
Suckin so bad, we threw his mama off the train (insane)
Mcs are just givin it all away (ok)
Who said him know about the quest type sound?
Mess around and get your ass knocked down (clown)
I dedicate this to the posers that play hard
You wanna hear some rhymes, well come bring your bodyguard
So he can peep the worldwide willie that we display
Leavin all mcs in complete disarray
