Transcript: I’m a ground breaker listen to my baseline shake ya I’m a pace maker so you can take a couple of beats you can take a minim rest to catch your breath and all that’s left is to proceed with the earthquake this is a mic check as the DJ cues up dubs on each deck my mind drifts back in retrospect to my rehearsal and the ninety-nine mics I wrecked I make studios look like war zones when they’re strewn with the shattered shells of microphones I crack metal with my dulcet tones and my poetry confounds all attempts by MC clones these MC clones will try cloning but when I step up on the mic I’m owning my defense is full press I’m not zoning I’m sharp like a samurai sake like a ronin I’m undertoning I used to get teenage kicks but now I’m older and I’m still sounding sick and I’m surrounded by MCs who got their arses kicked and I can guarantee that none of them are half as quick I be still spitting I’m bringing the beat until your head starts splitting the marks I’m hitting the bass I’m pounding so make some noise and tell me how I’m sounding. #BM2008
