"now what you hear is not a test" --> sugarhill gang   (cut up 4x by dj premier)      [guru]   Well goodness gracious, let me just take this   Time out to pull a rhyme out, and update this   For you and yours, simply because   Some mc's have luck but suck   So I pluck em like feathers on the back of a chicken   Cause I'm mad like a pit when my man says, "sick 'em"   Positive is the mindstate, but it could still mean that   I will kick a ill, malicious like mean rap   Suckers they forced me, to knock em all out and   They think they know things, like what I'm about and   They try to analyze criticize scandalize   The outcome is death, don't ask me to sympathize   Realize, that I'm not to be played with   I'll flip so fast, you won't know I'm the same kid   I'm tired and fed, with all the weak stuff said   All the phony-baloney, that went out like pro-keds   You've got no leads, so you shoot blanks   It's me the crowd thanks as I step to the top ranks   Bankin my money, and investin it wisely   Snatchin up chumps when they try to sneak by me   I'm the dominant one, call me the prominant one   And as I'm speakin I'll be bombin the dumb   Deaf and blind cause I was born with a sharp mind   Eatin mc's with ease like it's lunchtime   Or crunchtime, when they get done without warning   I'll bust that butt from nighttime til morning   Your song's boring, and so I'm scoring   Much points cause when it's time to throw joints   I cause havoc, the mic I grab is like savage   I invade the stage, and make you get off   The force is like a three-eight, blowin your head off   And that's just in case you might be wearin a vest   Cause you're simply a pest in this mess I suggest you   "take a rest"      "if this meaning doesn't manifest, put it to rest" --> krs-one   (dj premier cuts 2x)      [guru]   Don't ever sleep son, peep one or two of these lines here   Arranged by a great brain, delivering rhymes clear   And concise with a nice dope voice and   Killin the fakes like a taste of some poison   Punks are thinkin they're alla that, their voices are all flat   They're findin their names, in a wack rapper's almanac   Me follow that hollow crap, no way jose   I'll seek out a better sound, to somethin premier plays   Days will go by, and soon you'll know why   Mc's like me will rise like the enterprise   Starship, headin straight for the target   Destination, a place where no perpetration   Is permitted, the guru is with it to explain   How some mc's are scared to ride on a four train   Or any other train in the city, for that matter   Playin a role that they stole like a batter   But I know they ain't so I'll paint the real picture   My vocals go solo and like a bolo I'll hitcha   Square in your face I'll crack your ribs and your chest   Cause you thought your off-brand jam was the best   You fessed cause you guessed people would be impressed   I'm gonna bust that bubble on the double "take a rest"      (dj premier cuts "take a rest" for the chorus)      [guru]   Sit back and reflect, ponder and chill out   Rhymes like daggers make blood spill out   But you can't blame me, for bringin disaster   With all these ducks, claimin that they're the masters   Only thing they mastered, is how to get wacker   As I roll uphill, they roll downhill faster   Now they're wondering how they lost their touch   Wanna buy my rhymes but mine cost too much   I'm the innovative one, call me the creative one   And I won't stop til the job is done   All the slobs just run when I come to get some   Cause they know better, than to challenge this go-getter   They get bust you can trust cause I won't let a   Booty-ass rapper get wins against me?    I guarantee that I won't act friendly   Cause crabs have a nerve and deserve to get whipped on   Their girls get kissed on, while they get flipped on   I slaughter and slay, or slap em up quick   Cause the lyrics they kick make me seriously sick   No substance, no value, but nevertheless   They're gettin daytime play but I still say they should "take a rest"      (dj premier cuts "take a rest" for four bars, then song fades)
