00:02:27,801 -- 00:02:30,481
I never could spell the word
43
00:02:30,481 -- 00:02:32,721
defeat with these lame brain suckers
44
00:02:32,721 -- 00:02:34,521
try to compete. They started flapping
45
00:02:34,601 -- 00:02:36,682
their gums as I began to hum. It was
46
00:02:36,682 -- 00:02:38,442
totally embarrassing in front of the
47
00:02:38,482 -- 00:02:40,442
freak. but rapping ain't the only thing
48
00:02:40,442 -- 00:02:42,562
that makes me unique. Wearing silk on my
49
00:02:42,642 -- 00:02:45,122
back, a snake off my feet. Got a rap line
50
00:02:45,242 -- 00:02:47,562
baby that can't be beate just as easy as
51
00:02:47,562 -- 00:02:49,603
walking. Just like I'm talking
52
00:02:49,683 -- 00:02:52,163
24/7. All rappers i'm, stalking not
53
00:02:52,163 -- 00:02:53,883
taking the test because of my pace is
54
00:02:53,883 -- 00:02:56,123
set. You haven't had the best till. You
55
00:02:56,123 -- 00:02:58,523
try the rest. I guarantee you. Baybe I
56
00:02:58,603 -- 00:03:00,763
give you no less because the beat is poppen
57
00:03:00,963 -- 00:03:03,604
and the base is boppen. All around the clock
58
00:03:03,604 -- 00:03:06,284
everybody's rocking got a rap so smooth that
59
00:03:06,444 -- 00:03:09,054
I can't lose. Drop the beat and watch the
60
00:03:09,054 -- 00:03:09,814
body move.
61
00:04:27,420 -- 00:04:29,420
I'm in the east and the West. Rocking
62
00:04:29,420 -- 00:04:31,380
with the Best. In the north and the South
63
00:04:31,380 -- 00:04:34,300
by word. I started with the four track
64
00:04:34,300 -- 00:04:36,700
Sitting in my room. Now I'm on the radio.
65
00:04:36,700 -- 00:04:38,421
It's time to boom
66
00:04:38,421 -- 00:04:40,461
Like arsenial Hall . I'm going to stand real tall.
67
00:04:40,461 -- 00:04:42,461

68
00:04:42,501 -- 00:04:45,341
dream add it all up. And what does it mean
69
00:04:45,341 -- 00:04:47,661

75
00:04:59,862 -- 00:05:02,142

76
00:05:02,142 -- 00:05:03,983
Or sea. Makes me stay away 'cause you.
77
00:05:03,983 -- 00:05:06,703
clown me once and it's time to pay like a
78
00:05:06,703 -- 00:05:09,623
