Alright, now give me a 808 Now let the beat roll Any competition, checkers or chess Whatever the game, Lyte'll never fess But did you say rappin? Cause I'm with it I hold the title, you might as well forget it You can put me to the test, I'll prove I am the best You'll be the last coockoo to fly over the nest Try to dis this? Nah You'll be the only scarface in the place Cause I'll rip out your eyes, cut your tongue off You can't talk no more and let the bullshit walk In this lifetime you're no MC You're just labelled in bold black ink as a wanna-be Now that I pulled your card and I read you I should punish those that misled you Into thinkin that you was just too good I beat your ass in your own neighborhood I have yet to threaten you with sticks and stones That'll hurt your bones I'm just throwin words at you (Wick-wick-wack) (Worrrd) Can you catch em, the words I'm throwin at you?
