Some sez m a loss caz, I contain ta many flaz
Just becaz m not subjec to ya lawz.
Lizen t ma speech, m hear ta preach
Ma wordz, well byond ya reach
Wot ya hearan iz more than a screech
U tink ya to impotant ta learn wat I teach
Wizdom byond the gatz o ya mind
I iz preachn to da dumb n blind
Pearlz to swine, insted on slop ya dined
I keep movin foward ya left bahind
U trip ova words in purfect oda
Mine aint purfect I liv beyond ya borda
Not subject ta ya stupid odaz
I dance along ma own coridorz
So step back, dis iz ma time
I blast ya wit ma ryme
I aint lispin m doin dubba time
Drink ma down m smoooth like wine
Ya take ya shot, ya tink ya cool
Betta not ta speak, n reveal yar fool
Ya wrdz in a puddle a stagnate pool
Comn off ya face a string a drool
M gone in a flash ya cuud not seize
I mo powerful then a breeze
Leaven ya ta do az ya pleaze
Ya coudnt seize da forest through da treeze

For my friend Freddie
Some say I'm a lost cause, I contain to many flaws
Just because I'm not suject to your laws
Listen to my speach, I am here to preach
My words are well beyond your reach
What you are hearing is more than a screech
You think you're too important to learn what I teach
Wisdom beyond the gates of your mind
I am preaching to the dumb and blind
Pearls to swine, instead on slop you dined
I keep moving forward you're left behind
You trip over words in perfect order
mine aren't perfect, I live beyond your borders
Not subject to your stupid orders
I dance along my own corridors
So step back, this is my time
I blast you with my rhyme
I'm not lisping I'm doing double time
Drink me down I'm smooth like wine
You take your shot, you think your cool
Better not to speak and reveal you're a fool
Your words in a puddle a stagnant pool
Coming off of your face in a string of drool
I'm gone in a flash you could not seize
I am more powerful than a breeze
Leaving you to do as you please
You couldn't see the forest through the trees
