[Intro]
Yo, when you want me to come in?
(Four bars) Now check it...

[Gift of Gab]
The ink flows as if I'm not here
Styles fall from the mentally odd and quite weird
Might y'all want to enter my yard
My lightyear flow strikes with precision for all, I'm right here
With raw innervision beyond your sight, hearin it
Beyond all your senses I draw the light near
You're a flawed individual. dog I write shear
Elegance. I'm a bottle of Don, you're light beer
So now I'm perfectin this style like lairs 
of a foul dragon, sendin emcees ridden with nightmares 
Better pause 'fore you spittin that garbage you write, yeah 
I'ma cause hella niggaz to quit on the mic, period
Because I've been given this right tonight
we're gonna floor y'all with lyrics these suckers are not near
They are far from the abiities I ignite
Dare you to start something with me, I don't ever fight fair

[Chorus]
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
We are the crew called Blackalicious
We came to rock for you and yours
Put your arms in the air, your feet on the floor
Put your arms in the air, your feet on the floor
Put your arms in the air, your feet on the floor
Guaranteed to give you what you paid your money for
Cause that Blackalicious crew got rhymes galore
Rhymes galore, rhymes galore, rhymes galore
Rhymes galore, rhymes galore, rhymes galore
Rhymes galore, rhymes galore, rhymes galore
Rhymes galore, rhymes galore, rhymes galore
Rhymes galore, rhymes galore, rhymes galore
Rhymes galore, rhymes galore, rhymes galore....

I got talent these critics do not have
Still they write like some type of authority on rap
Really like they opinion is worthy 
I'm like after you make worthy music then come and be that cat, jack~!
(UH!) Plummeting rap at you, that's that (Uhh!)
Period done then get checks from ASCAP
Just gimme a drum, I'ma spark the last match
Y'all hit me with one rhythm, do it I'll smash that
My meridians hum, I'm so lyrically advance
I deliver it from within, leavin you lads back
In millenium done because really I'm passed that
I'm a million and one styles further, now catch that (catch that)
I was born to murder your rap black 
Alerted to that fact, you're certain to have crap to say 
then get slained and hurt as I lash back
And verbally ransack in turf and leave cats flat - AHH!

[Chorus]
