"Somebody told me, that the, I'm the truth

Don't worry about it, get down with me and ah

We'll set you free..."

(Hit it!)

Yeah, yeah

Gone in a swing like that right there

Yeah, ah

(I want everybody to jump out their seats

And start clappin your hands)

Rhymesayer Entertain, try to name a better team

Reveal your jealous aim, some things'll never change

Best twang your family together mayne

Them people cellophane, allowin their mother name

I'm invincible, walk with my word and my balls and my principles

Like a true prince should do

Only givin you a little bitty glimpse of truth

As I live it through, imagine what I'm fittin to do

I ain't that hit it and quit it dude

Live it for that minute, then split and I'm here to get residual

Pedal hard and settle not for even a notch

Between the premium spot, cream of the crop

Believe it or not, I'm over every line like one

Life changin moment at a time

Please trust you'll find, no better design

I'm so justified, I'm boast of epic kind

Nose to the grind stone, wait, no never mind

I could tell you 'til I'm blue in the face, the end of time

If you was ever gon' bear witness to the child

Then your ass probably would've been admitted by now

So now, ah, come now walk with me

I think and I walk and I talk awkwardly

If when you gotta see in order to believe

Then your ass must be blind, none strong as me, Ali

Ah, come now walk with me

I think and I walk and I talk honestly

I show strangers what they ought not to see

But that's just our nature, none strong as we, ha

Call me Slug, that's it, don't need no acronyms

Tryin to keep the masochist tucked inside the pacificist

But God it's gettin hard to give 'em passes when

They act as if they came up on the south side of Nazareth

Can't imagine this, it's like a beauty pageant

Where them models project and serve the law of averageness

Coat hanger on the mic, rappin mannequins

Stash 'em out behind the garage, where the trash be in

Don't go and get mad, I ain't your daddy kid

And you not Ant, so why you tryin to sample this?

So pop your little titties out, ego expandin

Them shenanigans'll catch a free ride up in that ambulance

Can't fix them damages with bandages

Another midlife crisis, tryin to brag on all the ass you get

Cash it in and take a look at who you dancin with

You just a middle man between the fiends and your management

Minneapolis, takes the passion with

A twist of lemon, 'cause I'm on some old fashioned shit

So tell Anakin we lookin for Orlando with

Coach and the "Champion", go fix a couple sandwiches

Yeah, come now walk with me

I think and I walk and I talk awkwardly

If when you gotta see in order to believe

Then your ass must be blind, none strong as me, Ali

Ah, come now walk with me

I think and I walk and I talk honestly

I show strangers what they ought not to see

But that's just my nature, none strong as we, come on

[

Used to raise babies in a funky old dirty place

So I kept me a snub nosed .38

Took it to the pawn shop on the first and paid

Rent with it, didn't want to send 'em to the pearly gates

In the clutch of the beat drop

See me hop up off the Sheetrock and strut like a peacock

Get your teeth knocked, clean out your speech box

Must not believe that meets the grease part

I wrote God a love letter with street chalk

Fell through potato chips, could of put beach hut

And there I stood in all of my splendor

'Til I did believe I told 'em everything that I meant to

Come down now, come now walk with me

I think and I walk and I talk awkwardly

If when you gotta see in order to believe

Then your ass must be blind, none strong as me, Ali

Ah, come down walk with me

I think and I walk and I talk honestly

I show strangers what they ought not to see

But that's just our nature, none strong as we, ah

(Get, get, get, get, get, get, get down)...

"But the squares won't dance 'cause they're just all fakes

And they can't understand the commands of the breaks" (breaks, breaks)

"A stage, a crowd and two Rhymesayers" [x4]

"Two Rhymesayers"

"A stage, a crowd, a-a crowd, and two rhyme-Rhymesayers"

[applause]
