Yo  yo. Its a hundred and fifty emcees. Which one do you be? Count em
 I met a _Redman_ in _Camp Lo_ named _Mic Geronimo_
 He'd _Busta Rhyme_ anywhere  he was always on the go
 He used to live in _Champtown_  but moved to _Slum Village_
 In a city Motown that was run by _Mike Millich_
 Lived with _Fat Joe_  in _Ras Kass_'s corridor
 Who had a _Crucial Conflict_ with this man next door
 On a _Rampage_  against this kung fu gang
 Sensei _Master P_, of Shaolin's _Wu-Tang_
 He'd meditate with _Cool J_'s, and phillies of _Canibus_
 Practicin the grain style, and the praying mantis
 Increased his _Eye-Cue_, studying the _five V's_
 And had more styles, than _MJ has got G_'s, uhh
 One time, he was confronted
 And the neighboor told _Da Sensai_, he didn't want it
 The sensei asked him to choose his weapon
 The A-_KRS_, the _Nine_ or the _Mack 10_
 He chose a shotgun, since he was from Bucktown
 As he blast a _Buckshot_, the sensei, he Ducked Down
 Hit his _Dogg's Nate_ _Snoop_ and the _Spice-One_ rack
 The sensei didn't even have a chance to blast back
 Eyes bloodshot and _Puffy_, and got up like _Scarface_
 (Pacino: "Say hello to my little friend")
 Lettin' off a _Dirty Dozen_, now it's a car chase
 Gunfight now turns to a deadly car ride
 The sensei didn't see _Da Brigade_, on _The Pharcyde_
 Crashed his chevy, _Kid Capri_ head on, was thrown 20 feet
 But he didn't bet on
 Being scooped by _A Tribe Called Quest_ and cared for
 Until his wounds healed, he then declared war
 Called up _Jay and A, who both drove a Z_
 Already wanted, for _Jayo Felonies_
 And _Missy Elliot_, who also had a _Case_
 The judge will _Punisher_, for sprayin' illegal _Mase_
 A Misdemeanor, but the judge was _Kurupt_
 She was caught with _Pete Rocks_, and never handcuffed
 Called up her Uncle _Luke_, whose _Crew was 2 Live_
 They had some _Peter Gunz_, like the ones on True Lies
 And these two guys were snitches, all around town
 Kid who was _Da Brat_, and her sister _Fox Brown_
 With only a few G's, they met _Nas at Escobar_
 _Alkaholiks_ all around, with Cristal and caviar
 Long Island _Ice-T's_, with only one _Ice Cube_
 They discussed the _Kurtis Blow_ and spot up like intertubes
 They met some _Geto Boys_, who _Run DMC_
 _Corporation_ and _Dr. Dre_, or was it _EPMD_, who said "Life is _Too
 $hort_we gotta think fast?"
 _Daz_ 'em with explosions, shots & tear gas
 Drink _E-40's_ of _8-Ball_ with _Little Ceasars_
 Down 180 proof rum, with Bacardi Breezers
 _Large Professor_, who teaches class on _Artifacts_
 Had plans to invade the _Timbaland_, with rocketpacks
 They go in crewed up, over the _Cypress Hill_
 _Outsidaz_ _Mobb Deep_, and everyone is just _Chill
 A _Hush_ on the scene, all you heard was the Click_
 _Organized Konfusion_ was _Ultramagnetic_
 A _Lady of Rage_, that was cursed with _Voodu!_
 Was stung by _Cocoa B's_, _Outkast_ by _Gurus_
 A _Goodie Mob_ of _Lost Boyz_ _Xzibit_ _Mystikal_
 Broken _Bone, Thugs 'N Harmony_ is very critical
 Scalped lots of hair on _The Roots_ of _40 Thevz_
 Then write "_Heltah Skeltah_," in blood from injuries
 A _Common_ sight, like _Capone 'N Noreaga_
 They bomb a fight, then sit alone with Garsha Vegas
 When it was over, one seemed to never fall
 He screamed out "Fade em all!"
 It was this kid named _Jamal_
 The sensai would _Rakim_, and his man _Eric B_
 Give him an _Eminem_, and made him bow to one knee
 This wasn't _Bizarre_, it was in his _Nature_
 So this would become the 37th Chamber
 It all started, over some _Big Daddy Kane_
 The sensei sold with _Slick Rick's_ brother _Dana Dane_
 On east, _Warren G's_ supposed to be uncut
 Chopped with baking soda, crews went _Beatnuts_
 And caused a _Ruckus_, against the _Gang Starr_
 Who tried to control _DMX_ Blvd.
 It got back to _Junior Mafia_, who then got ill
 And caused a drug trade to come to stand stills
 See, in this industry, you can't have anarchy
 Cause everyone wants their name on the _Biz Markee_
 Yo, some are long gone, will the gunshots cease?
 _Eazy E_, _2Pac_, and _Biggie Smalls_, rest in peace
