Smithzonian Institute of Rhyme

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Blackalicious, the truth speaker
A little somethin'Now if you want some best, come with a gun
You can't fuck with the tongue or the way the song is sung
By Lateef and Blackalicious we keep it fat, delicious
Complete and grant your wishes, so peep the rap and listen
You can't be idle, your best come trifle but even with a rifle
Your style'll get stifled quickLateef and Blackalicious, we coming for that dough
To get the lyrics that we wrote again are sounding rather vicious
Beyond scientific, I'll snap like a doberman I'm unable to hold it in
I really hope you feel it, check it outDroppin' the topic and me apocaplypse
Hip hop metroplis we stalkin' MC's
Don't stop this marvelous three partners
This bottomless beat has opened wideness
Invitin' us inside of its deep rhythmic enviromentA labryinth, its violent beings just won't be silent
And higher and higher means to a world [Incomprehensible]
Where all I need is prez and that is my rent
Just by fatting the rest, who won't admire itWon't rule as a tyrant, don't condone viloence
Till next man trys it, don't tax no pirate
Just watch as I begin to shape your world
All MC's in the land spanked and baked and broiledCharred and seasoned in a pan, damn
Awakened world stagnant even though they always been there
Laggin' about exposing it to the hearing impaired establishment
Raw energy, they can't be compared
Tag 'em, then we drag them, then we finshed, yeahNow if you want some best, come with a gun
You can't fuck with the tongue or the way the song is sung
By Lateef and Blackalicious we keep it fat, delicious
Complete and grant your wishes, so peep the rap and listen
You can't be idle, your best come trifle but even with a rifle
Your style'll get stifled quickLet it hit themThe suffocation begins, your soul, it gets engulfed in
The sound like its emotion, it works just like a potion
It hurts just like that's only motion, gotta think about some rules
And see it can't just all be coastin'Get to get the spectrum of the wave whenever you know it's flowin'
Got a notion and it's deep, keep it growing like the ocean
Don't get salty, it's just meGet a dose that's instantaneous essential constantly
Fits like a constellation, glowing naturally, in facts you see
The past, the future marches on triumphantly, defiantly, relentlessly
If it ain't one thing, it's somethin', somethin' elseThe instrumental that contributes to your mental health
As for most MC's we moving like a ninja that is killin' ya stealthily
Handle your bizness candidly, fool, we gigantic globally locally
And organically, ain't nothing you gonna do that's gonna damage me
In this currency, it's tragedy we value beyond champion originality
In this shit that's happenWe trigger the emotional response, causes you to react violently, yeah
We trigger the emotional response, causes you to react violently, yeahNow if you want some best, come with a gun
You can't fuck with the tongue or the way the song is sung
By Lateef and Blackalicious we keep it fat, delicious
Complete and grant your wishes, so peep the rap and listen
You can't be idle, your best come trifle but even with a rifle
Your style'll get stifled quickLateef and Blackalicious, we coming for that dough
To get the lyrics that we wrote again are sounding rather viciousNow if you want some you better come with a gun
You can't fuck with the tongue or your ass'll get stung
By Lateef and Blackalicious, we keep it fat, delicious
Complete and grant your wishes, we move just like eclipses
You can't be idle 'cause even with a title
And even with a rifle your style get stifledThe king is going home to get his throne
From the root to the flute, that's where everything started at
