[Malik B] Check it out, one two M-illi-tant I

Internationale rationale All the
people up 68th Ave. and across Broad Street or Silk Lane in South Philly And on, et cetera Check it out, check it out [Chorus: The
Roots] Here on this agenda, there is no pretenders So when we begin to assassinate your cast members Here on this agenda, there is no pretenders So when we begin to assassinate your cast members [Verse One: Malik B] Dig it, cool calm collect in my perspective Search the
premises, I
leave no clues for detectives My verbal impact across your back slap You talk about you see me, but your vision's full of cataract It don't matter that, your glass house I
shatter that Bad luck I
walk under now show me where the
ladder at Pull up the
urinal organs up in your bladder cat Approachin you with shriller rhetoric, as if you had a
sac Now crews down for it, your gas pedal floor it with ammo and artillery and stash spots to keep and store it I
used the
banner of a
slant with a
zort Change your strategic plan, my man's getting bored Your vocal chord is fraudulent, and not the
true porcelain I
bring the
fire, earth, and the
source of wind The
force of sin will endorse the
pen We all search for sanity, but I
think that it was lost again Now which stick of artists, can be the
smartest My beam of sunlight shines the
brightest in the
forest Regardless, artists dislike because I'm ?
Control the
temper, makin MC's whimper I
tilt the
Earth from off the
axis in the
center Next I'm in the
womb like a
placenta M-Illi-Tant the
city ninja, uplift cause I'm the
soul avenger, remember I'm no great pretender [Chorus 2X] [Verse Two: Black Thought] Strategis, I
bet y'all niggaz can't believe this I
read you like a
whole avenue that's filled with meters parked, fuck your back talk, I
watch how niggaz cat-walk over my pit of venom and send em to the
asphault For inquisitives, who wanna try to test me What protects me, will make you shake like epilipsy Plague your neighborhood with lyrical le-prosy Stimulate more than Ecstasy y'all niggaz check my recipe Dig it, I
must observe it, analyze when I'm chillin Peep out who's the
villain then make your whole pavillion of a
Sicilian, excuse the
greed don't want a
mill' I
want a
zillion stacks of Franklins to the
ceiling I
counts stacks imported, fuck the
yacht and the
mansion I
want Pluto and Jupiter, political, universal expansion Buy out Tommy and Halle Hanson Kidnap America, ?
you hold it for ransom Pass it down to my grandson, I
got no time to be romancin Only time's for mental food and advancement This game of Life is strictly chancein get to know the
nature before I
get know the
nigga while I'm glancing Enhancing, is my mental I
play in the
midst a
squad a
team most crews is not in the
halfs of rentals My utensils, display a
whole variety Even when in the
cut niggaz can't cut they anxiety Peep, I
fill your brain with suspicion, pay attention like you paid tuition, and stop all your bull-ishin The
rap chemist in the
lab to the
finish The
mic is my apprentice, cause I
can't stand courts or tennis, my pigmentation is the
menace That's why the
system's always tryin to pursue with a
blemish Pale asses, think a
nigga in this My flow's tremendous, for the
meal you can't replenish The
question you ask me, situation get worse Fam I
won't befriend ya, cause I'm no great pretender [Chorus 2X] [Malik B] It's like that, one time for your mind Fifth Dynasty, interwine and combine M-Illi-Tant The
