[Verse 1: Lord Finesse and (Marquee)]
Check it out. Iām real like
The Son of Sam while other are soft like Richie Cunningham
Their styles is outdated like the āRunning Manā
A tough vet, Iām the roughneck that drops logic
The hefty, solid prophet from the projects
The spiritual, the lyrical individual
(No doubt, kid) Yeah, the Lord works miracles
I hustle for mine like those pumping cracks, I got
Thumping raps thatāll have you n***as doing jumping jacks
I come with the fat songs; Put me on any
Platform, watch me get my motherfucking rap on
A top cat that rocks rap from the part of Boogie
Down Bronx where the cabs donāt stop at
The Asiatic rap fanatic that donāt have it
My styleās tighter than a virgin locked in traffic
You get ripped like a cardboard. Because you watch
Gangster flicks, you write rhymes, donāt mean youāre hardcore
Iām so divine when I flow and rhyme, Iāll blow your mind
When I go for mine. (Come on) Yāall n***as know the time
I kick hip hop in its true form
Big up to Fat Joe, congratulations on the newborn
[Verse 2: Marquee]
Like the
Coyote, I gets Wile E. and freaks it with the sty-le
My shit is type fiery, so my life be, like, irie
I be the emcee thatās above and beyond
Them all stand out like neon, tackle comp like Deion
Be on some hip hop shit ācause the music like hypnotic
I canāt stop it, oh Lord, so I just drops it
āTil the slayings leave abrasions, hot like Cajun
Trails be blazing behind this chinky-eyed non-Asian
Female bringing it to ya like email
With advanced techniques off these New York streets
The hardrocksā elixir, smooth, exotic sister
Strong as a bull while you be slacking like a 76er
Yeah, this is my world, the slang signing
Out, no doubt. Marquee, I do my thing

[Verse 3: Diamond D]
Now, you say, āGrenada,ā and Iāll say, āGrenade-aā
Big up to Greeny Green, Iāll meet your black ass later
But wait a minute ācause Iām in it to win it
With the freestyle flow, Iāll steal the show like John Bennett
But then it really wouldnāt matter to a n***a
You figure you have to sneak up ācause Iām bigger
Yo, jigga, take down the beat just a little
Far from brittle, chew a n***a like a skittle
But itāll be a cold day in the Caribbean
At the Meridian, Iāll swim through girls like an amphibian
Iām witty and versed with the lyrical blessing
Never fessing, and keep the chickens second-guessing
Known for stressing engineers in my session
I flake in one take, and slide like Wesson
So learn a lessonāIāll make the episode brief
Youāll seek relief as you pick up your teeth
[Verse 4: A.G.]
Try to spark this, youāll get torn ācause youāll never win
Iām through, Iāll take you through Hell again
Itās the Goodfellasā first aid kit, the āMedicineā
Stay legit ācause weāre veterans, proceed
What I donāt achieve, leave up to my seed, teach him
That he gotta bleed, donāt fall victim to greed
That your gift is what youāre blessed withāfind it, put it to use
Have faith and donāt stress shit. Meanwhile
I hit the ganja, now watch it kiss my lips
Bless it, then pass it like Magicās top 10 assists
Itās the cheeba-cheeba, another neighborhood news feature
Who can see the Giant? Not a known creature
Or being alive that can see me on this rap vibe
High off of hip hop, canāt die, I got cat lives
Abuse this, get smothered is how youāll be discovered
Give me 20 years in here with no dough, Iāll still love it
Itās in my heart. When I bled, it was red
Wonāt stop ātil I drop dead or catch some lead to my head
Some search for bread, loot, cheese, or whatever
But instead, Iāll stay true, smoke trees and get clever
Fall never, Show and A. is who we be
See why D.I.T.C. will reign forever
