[Iriscience]

See I think a wack rapper needs to catch service

I think a wack DJ needs to be nervous

[Iriscience]

Yo my DJ's so nice he don't slice he severs

(Evidence: Bab's, forgive 'em)

{*DJ Babu scratchs "never"*}

[Iriscience]

See I think a wack rapper needs to catch service

I think a wack DJ needs to be nervous

[Iriscience]

Payin good money, the fans don't deserve this

Choppin up your skills, your potential is worthless

[Evidence]

I go to...any extreme for you to hear it

I find my best quotes make bumper stickers with our lyrics

Sell my slogan, boom box and spill my toxic vibrations

And echos...of metro...stations

I've placed in flow enhancements

Tomorrow your big parade, tonight we're rain dancin

My DJ's on the cut, my DJ made a beat

My DJ's name is Babu, don't provoke in self defeat

[Iriscience]

Yo I remember the days, these cats battled for fame

For equipment and paint, for the honor and name

But since me and hip hop is just one and the same

I be huggin the track

(Evidence: But who's conducting the train?)

*BABU*

His style's serrated to rip wax

It's a fact this cat's more felt than slip mats

Swinging the axe, choppin down the best acts

1200 Technics, the sures and best tac's

05 Pro, world wide then live show

Dilated Junkie makes the rookies drive slow

The stage prop DJ has run outa luck

Super Duper Duck Breaks, no fuckit just (duck?)

[Iriscience]

See I think a wack rapper needs to catch service

I think a wack DJ needs to be nervous

[Evidence]

Yo my DJ's so nice he don't slice he severs

(Evidence: Bab's, forgiv 'em)

{*DJ Babu scratchs "never"*}

[Iriscience]

See I think a wack rapper needs to catch service

I think a wack DJ needs to be nervous

Payin good money, the fans don't deserve this

Choppin up your skills, your potential is worthless

{*DJ Babu scratches*}

[Iriscience]

Babu, drop the obelisk on this

{*DJ Babu scratches "checkitout"*}
