So out of the mercy of Allah   And the law written in our nature   We call an individual into existence   And when that individual, I make, no apologies   For what I'm about to say      Rough, rugged and real, you're on standstill   To obey, okay, so let the man build   Words of rapture that you have to capture   And I just slapped ya with the hand full of literature   That's dope def fresh hype choice smooth and raw   Rappers I replace, rub out, and erase   Competition you must be on freebase   Smokin' or chokin', bound to be broken      Man, get your damn hands off the mic that I'm chokin'   'Cuz I got a strangehold   You're still cold off the road for the role you stole   Rhymes that you yell out, but you did sell out   Crossed-over, lost over here, now get the hell out   I'm not a pop star, rock 'n' roller   I'm a rebel, blessed, able to hold a   Mic like a hammer, and drop grammar      Treat a rapper like a wrestler, and body slam him   Those who dispute get treated just like a prostitute   They get the boot and played like a flute   So just play mute, don't even whisper   Open your mouth to speak and I'm diss ya   Ragtag and dog, put you in the morgue   Because you're petty confetti and not ready to rock steady   In other words, you're half-steppin'      Tiptoein', get goin', because my weapon   Is not a nine, an uzi or a shotgun   But when it come to hype rhymes I got one   Just like the album is still the same   Long live the Kane, ain't a damn thing changed   I still get ill and kill at will and build the skill   To fill your grill so don't tell me you're real   We sample beats, you sue and try to fight us      Man, you still be home with arthritis   If we didn't revive em, bring back alive   Old beats that we appreciated, you wouldn't survive   You'd be another memory to us   Ashes to ashes and dust to dust   So understand, the way that I live   That's positive and the message I got to give   It's a benefit for you and me, I'm talkin' 'bout P.E.A.C.E.      The chosen one that has turned a new leaf   I got gold teeth, and they don't chew beef   No pork on my fork, strictly fish on my dish   The Kane fallin' victim? Sucker, you wish   I flow like water, slaughter, put you out of order, floored ya   Rappers are raggin' and taggin' and snaggin' and braggin'   To be on the bandwagon, but I'm the Last Dragon   With the knack to attract the pack   So just get back, I'm young, gifted and black      And just go with the flow you know   In the place to be with my man Marley Marl   Sendin' this out to Divine Force   Can't forget my main man Heavy D   And to my good brothers EPMD   And to my man Ice-T over on the West Coast   Can't forget Kool Moe Dee, Busy Bee, MC Lyte, the Audio Two   I say, peace
