[Pharoahe Monch]

Pharoahe's Official like Starter, hit harder than Fort Green

Authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding

?Permitted? behind the back like makin em all fiend

From my intricate ways to shake ya whole team

Official, Starter hit harder than Fort Green

No authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding

Permitted behind the back like makin em all fiend

For my intricate ways to break ya whole team



My style, make the whole crowd Se-au

Like number 55 on the Chargers

I promise thee I Dodge a nigga like Raul Mondesi

Somberly stay calm, fighting Means like Natrone

The bomb, like Hail Mary's inflated wit napalm

RAP PLEASE US! Deliver scriptures similar to Jesus

That you couldn't catch if you was Ivan Rodriguez

So don't compete within the zone where the ? is

I'm on the phone in the luxury box like George Steinbrenner

The owner, makin you give your Diamond-back like Arizona

Winnin always Indian like Chief Nakahoma

Sock a nigga in his face, Pharoahe's the Sporting Authority

Blacks attracted to my rap like ?games in sororities?

You already fucked up when you stepped up to bat

Strike (one) strike (two) strike (three), that's that



[Chorus]

Pharoahe's Official like Starter, hit harder than Fort Green

Authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding

?Permitted? behind the back like makin em all fiend

For my intricate ways to break ya whole team

Official like Starter, hit harder than Fort Green

No authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding

Permitted behind the back like makin em all fiend

For my intricate ways to shake ya whole team



Yo the realness stuck, females Blauch my Knob like Chuck

Dispense to standing in count commence to rebound like Buck Williams

Triple Crown threat to score, plus the bonus strange

Without the Rover, more range than Rey Ordonez

One of the MC's flip my kind of grammar on the break

Three on one like Phi Slamma Jamma

Serve a slot, a curve-splitter-knuckleball-spitter-change

Every rhyme hid a bitter note, quote "Get a game"

Not Allen Iverson, forget crossin-over shake men

Similar to Troy, I bring the pain destined to Aik-man

Break men off, take men out, make me wanna slander

Prime Time, my rhyme defense beyond Deion Sanders

I walk the earth with my Rod in this Strick-land

Promise, people thought I was Thomas Hearns the way I Hit Man



Chorus

(Official)



Yeah yeah, come on come on

It's Lee Stone, Pharoahe Monch for real

Wit the Official hip hop to kill

Know what's the deal, come on check it

Yo yo yo

Pharoahe's Official like Starter, hit harder than Fort Green

Authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding

Then hid it behind the back like makin em all fiend 

For my intricate way ta-ta-ta-ta yo yo 

Official like Starter, hit harder than Fort Green

Authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding

The minute behind the back like makin em all fiend

For my intircate way ta-ta-ta-ta

Yo, I stick around like hockey, now what the puck

Cooler than fuck, maneuver like Vancouver Canucks

In ya speaker, destroy your woofer, mids and tweeters

Not Wolverine but still I hold Claws like Shameeka

Water Boys get slaughtered automatic like Bobby Boucher

Push ya wig back like Marv Albert's toupe

Blaze a Trail like Portland on a track that'll amaze ya

Omnipotent on the D like Clyde Frazier

Slide, phase ya, glide get off the uhh

I'm commin wit the *scatting*
