Smithsonian Institute of Rhyme

yeah yeah Blackalicious
 Lateef the truth speaker
 A little somethin
 Now if you want some you best come with a gun
 You cant f_ck with the tongue or the way the song is sung
 Complete and grant your wishes
 So peep the rap and listen
 You cant be idle you best come trifle
 But even with a rifle your stylell get stifled
 quick
 Lateef and blackalicious we coming for that dough to get
 Are sounding rather vicous beyond scientific
 I'll snap like a doberman I'm unable to hold it in
 I really hope you feel it, check it out
 Droppin the topic and me apocaplypse
 Hip hop metroplis we stalkin mcs
 Dont stop this marvelous three partners
 This bottomless beat has opened wideness
 Invitin us inside of its deep rhythmic enviroment
 A labryinth its violent beings just won't be silent
 And higher, and higher means to a world (?)
 Where all I need is prez
 And that is my rent
 Just by fatting the rest
 Who wont admire it
 Wont rule as a tyrant
 Dont condone viloence
 Till the next man trys it
 Dont tax no pirate
 Just watch as I begin to shape your world
 All mcs in the land spanked and baked and broiled
 Charred and seasoned in a pan - damn
 Awakened world stagnant even though they always been there
 Laggin about exposing it to the hearing impaired establishment
 Raw energy they cant be compared
 Tag em then we drag them then we finshed - yeah
 Now if you want some you best come with a gun
 You cant f_ck with the tongue or the way the song is sung
 Complete and grant your wishes
 So peep the rap and listen
 You cant be idle you best come trifle
 But even with a rilfe your stylell get stifled
 quick
 Let it hit them
 The suffocation begins your soul it gets engulfed in
 The sound like its emotion it works just like a potion
 It hurts just like thats only motion gotta think about some rules
 See it cant just all be coastin
 Get to get the spectrum of the wave
 Whenever you know its flowin
 Got a notion and its deep keep it growing like the ocean dont get salty
 Its just me get a dose thats instantaneous essential constantly
 Fits like a constellation glowing natrually in facts you see the past
 The future marches on triumphantly defiantly relentlessly
 If it aint one thing its somethin something else
 The instrumental that contributes to your mental health
 As for most mcs we moving like a ninja that is killin ya stealthily
 Handle your bizness candidly fool we gigantic globally locally
 And organically aint nothing you gonna do thats gonna damage me
 In this currency its tragedy we value beyond champion originality
 Is this sh_t thats happen
 We trigger an emotional response causes you to react violently
 Yeah we trigger an emotional response causes you to react violently
 Now if you want some you best come with a gun
 You cant f_ck with the tongue or the way the song is sung
 Complete and grant your wishes
 So peep the rap and listen
 You cant be idle you best come trifle
 But even with a rifle your stylell get stifled
 quick
 Lateef and blackalicious is coming for that dough to get
 Now if you want some you better come with a gun
 You cant f_ck with the tongue
 Or your ass'll get stung by lateef and blackalicious
 We keep it fat, delicious
 Complete and grant your wishes we move just like eclipses
 You cant be idle cause even with a title
 And even with a rifle your styell get stifled - yeah
 The king is going home to get his throne
 From the root to the flute that's where everything started at...
