Chumps tryin me, but when they eyein me

I build in skills, and to enhance my chances

Im thrilled, to be involved with solvin

All the problems, with the way that the sound

Has gone down, so I frown at the scene

Where you be takin it, and like the winds of change

Ill be breakin it up, shakin it up

Clearing it out, airing it out, and bearing the clout

On my chest, like a crest that rests

On a tidal wave, only the good Ill save

When I plunge, and engulf the ones

Who arent sons, who converse with ? and make friends

Yo, I recommend that you get back there

And sit back there, contemplate, calculate

And concentrate on these rhymes, that I picked to stick

To your mind, and then Ill raise you straight

To the next phase, cause I will amaze

With much force, and like the power that comes

From the source, which is greater and stronger, of course

If you didnt know, I will tell you

That all the blind no-minds I give hell to

And if you comprehend what is said

Then youll be stayin two steps ahead

One, two steps ahead

One, two steps ahead

One, two

I cant work with, those jerks who front

With the mic, cause I never liked fabrications

Wack creations that lack authenticity

For some time in my mind Ive been wishin the

Fiends who do would just yield

And at the foot of my bed, I have kneeled

Thus revealed as a gift I have nurtured

And I hurt ya if youre not knowin

That the musical need is now growin

And like a man obsessed, I must

Go all out, show all out, blow all out

Throw all out, get on out of my path

Cause I laugh at the ones with no gas

I surpass the class to get geesed

Like the way the ballistics released

And I wont cease til I cap them

Or slap the saps with my rappin

Continue on with my journey

All the negative ones dont concern me

My eyes are wise, I got cause to live

Positive, have to give, every way

Every day of my life, so I fight for the right

And get hype, so heed what I feed

And get fed, then youll be livin two steps ahead

One, two steps ahead

One, two steps ahead

One, two

Im way ahead of you, yes Im on top

Its me instead of you, with the lyrics you fear it

So get near it, and then youll hear it clear

And concise, cause I paid the price to be

Talking here, rocking there, shocking here

Stop and stare, then compare if you wish

Because the others fess, I insist

So I will assist you to blend with this

Bend with this, tend with this, fend with this

As I ascend with my orals

You define and defy with high morals

And at the spot I will stop to throw darts

At the ones who proclaim with no aim

Cause they dont hold the fame, theyre on mine

And since Im well inclined and divine

I will have to ask you to come in

Move along with the tongue and the drummin

Progress and let the blessings be read

And youll be staying two steps ahead

One, two steps ahead

One, two steps ahead

One, two
