Yo, yo what the fuck, yo, yo

(Chorus: K-OS)

It goes stop, don't make a move, just freeze

Instead of tellin' a lie, get down on your knees

Please, give up the mic to MC's

Masters of the ceremony, is what we be

It goes stop, don't make a move, just freeze

Instead of tellin' a lie, get down on your knees

Please, give up the mic to MC's

Masters of the ceremony, is what we be.

(K-OS)

I was walkin' down the street about three o'clock

When I saw another MC at the end of the block

Talkin' to kids tellin' em, how they had to get the dough

So I rolled right up in the Cypher and said "Yo!"

Here is an example of a whack MC

Caught in the world and he just can't see

He said, "What? Aiyyo, you disrespectin' me?

Now I got to battle you and show them who the best be."

He started spittin', he said, "Somethin' somethin' hot."

Then he tried to talk about the money that he got

I said, "Shhh c'mon yo, that's all passé.

I got to break it down another way like this now.

Follow me here in this moment and time

Follow the rhyme created instigated to see the crime

You commit, when you sit in the past. Don't you know?

You construct a future based on everything that you know.

But to get to the unknown, we surely must erase

All the preconceived notions they keep throwin' up in our face

On the daily. I run over tracks like Donavan Bailey

And break every record, in less than ten seconds."

They said, "Oooooh! That's a real metaphysical.

We pull down the light cause the force is centrifugal"

He tried to act up I had to give in

Because the truth is an offense and not a sin, word life.

(Chorus: K-OS)

(K-OS)

MC's ain't comin' equipped, with the rhyme

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time

The time is essential when you play with the lives of the youth

They want the truth, but you want loot

So ya change a little bit switch up your steeds

Now you got a bigger bag and countin' extra ki's

Please, everything you do we do with these

Real MC's are universal entities, that

Scope the universe lookin' for the fraudulence

Then we take a disguise like Clark Kent

My manner would have quick to check a scanner

For a weak MC sinkin' a city like Atlantis

You can't stand this, missile placed and you vanish

I meditate delevitate the twelve planets

You cannot withstand the heavy verbal attack

I'm the lyrical master blaster yeah I can do that

I can also be your style, because I analyzed it

You used to rock, but now you paralyzed it

Doesn't really matter like platinum blondes

Think what is an MC if he can't drop bombs

Don't really matter if it's over your head

Cause the job of resurrectin' is to wake up the dead

So pay attention it's the hard to behold

That everything that good it ain't gold, for real.

(Chorus: K-OS) x2 1/2
