The mad man malik makes mcs run for milk of magnesia

Maybe that'll ease ya

Master of this microphone mackinmaster as in great

I'll have your brain goin in circles as my style tends to ovulate

I'm makin movesnever moviesthat's why y'all mcs lose me

Retracewon'tso your stubborn like groupies

Kidyou know my flavatear this whole jam apart

Fuck around and have your heartlike jordan had starks

While you playin hokey pokeythere's 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 meyou don't wanna see mecuz all mcs are gettin served

The nervefor you to even step to the phifer

I'll bumrush your set and crush your whole cypher

Reservea spot for me in hip hop's hall of fame

Cuz rappin ain't no gamebig up your head and maintain

Yeahqueens forever in this piece crushin any beef

Ain't nuthin sweetthe bakery's across the fuckin street

Phife dawgswingin it back and forth just like aaliyah

Makin moves on your heart like that trick tamia

No doubt about itI love hip hop to death

But yo tipbring in the chorus cuz I'm losin my breath



Consequence:

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

We got the fiend bumpin straight from the borough queens

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

We got the fiend bumpin straight from the borough queens

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

You know the dealhayou know the deal



Phife:

Big up pop dukethat's where I caught my athleticism

My mamano doubtthat's where I got my lyricism

My nanathat's where I got my spiritualism

As for tip and shahthey made me stop from smokin izm

Nowwhen I'm with some cheeseI be lettin off gism

Writin rhymes since daddy kane and biz mark was on prism

I gotta brave heart like the one named shirley chisholm

As for my late twinboyI wish I was with him

Got the lightro in the back talkin bout (come onget him)

And when it comes to rhymesno doubtI flip em

Sucka mc in my pathhey mainI say we ship him

Money pleaseyour rhymes are wacksay wordthis geek is trippin

Just because my name is phifemy manI'm never slippin

I got the type of flave to have your ass straight bitchin

For those who act cutesee I got them on mute

Have you walkin through your projects in your birthday suit

Cuz your style is off lootso I played him like a flute

If youse a sucka mcthen it's you I rebuke

My style iseverday all daysimilar to water

Crushin mcs as if my name was sargent slaughter

Keep shit hotter...than a sauna

Or better yetthe hormones on your christian daughter

HeyI tried to warn her

My sounds the type to killlike the grill on lauryn hill

So all ya sucka mcsy'all best go chill

Bout to go to union square so I can see my care bear

Singin good stuff in my earrunnin fingers through my hair

Represent the zulu nation with illy rap creations

Just keep shit hotter than death row-bad boy confrontations

Chillin with fudge love because he represents the haitians

Ya naw'mean
