[Intro: Supernatural]
Ha. Ha. Beats for your mind. Beats for your life, beats all the time. Ha. Beats for your mind. Beats for your life, beats all the time. See, my life is like beats, sharper than cleats. One time. Iām about to bring the heat. Huh. And it goes a little something like this
[Verse 1: Supernatural]
Now Iām sheer delighted right here tonight
Yo, I just canāt fight it. Iāma bless this mic
See Supernatural. I got the gold windpipe
I get the party open, Iām freaky like a dyke
On the mic. āOne time,ā Iām saying, sight
When I was a baby, yo, I used to ride a trike
As a tyke, loved to rock lyrics off the dome
I was so dope, I credit off steel microphones
A little black alien, Natās far from home
Now get in the cockpit ācause Iām about to zone
Let me rock it nonstop straight off the telly
Yo, Iāll grab the microphone, baby, and, yo, Iām ready
Iāll run on the track like Mario Andretti
And bust piƱatas as they throw confetti
A ticket day parade as Iām coming through
Yeah, I grab the mic one time and I subdue
Nonstop when the lyrics I start to drop
Say my flavors rotate like tapes from doo wop
Like Cyclops, yo, I see through i3
The lyrics come through me telepathically
3-D emcees. I step. I got to rep
Iāll leave the party wet like a Cuban with a TEC
Yeah, in the diamond store with metaphors
Everything that I say from my vocal cords is raw
Yeah, I exercise my lungs
Where would I be without hip hop drums?
Iāll rock dope from Africa to the slums
Got the type of rhymes that could educate bums
In the train, brother, I say no names
When I get busy, yo, yes, Iāll blow frames
Do the masterpiece, pray towards the east
Do backflips, intelligent life beats
Do you suppose when Iām freaking my flows?
Put my hands on your neck to edge your power like Iām Rogue
Inhale, exhale one time. Had to catch my breath
Slipped and then I tripped and still made the flavor def
āDing-ding!ā Call a tech. Somebody go get the ref
āCause when I grab the microphone, you know itās getting blessed
Yeah. Iām like a sensei. Iāll do it all day
When it comes to lyrics, yo, itās like digital display
Come on, get with it, watch me bounce it
I could pounce, kid, like a big cat on the Serengeti
Iām ready, here to jump it, freak the funk
Iāll walk in a robe like a Shaolin monk
Supernatural. Now you let me out to trump
When you grab the microphone, yo, youāll leave āem all stumped
Now back to I, yo, the flavor that be fly
I could close it. It gets dark. I feel I can fly
Like R. Kelly, doing girls on their belly
One time. Brother like peanut butter and jelly
With milk. Yo, brother, Iāll walk on stilts
And keep it tall. Brother, bounce it off the wall
Like handballs. Sound styleās like the final cause
Love to go shopping in a fly shopping mall
Jiggy, got a stomach thatās crazy big
The way that I can live it truly Iām teaching my kid
The freestyle and the techniques so he will be sharp
One time. Blowing it like strings on the heart
Tear it apart. One time with the thesis
Telekinesis for the dead and the deceased kids
Nonstop, all the rhymes like these
One love from Supernat to all underground emcees
[Interlude 1: I.G. Off]
Yo, what the dealie? Big Supernat up in the house. Reflection Eternal in the house. I.G. Off and Hazadous up in the house. What up? What up, world? Unsigned and hungry emcees. What up, world?
[Verse 2: I.G. Off]
Yo, itās me, the phonetician. With my doctrine
Iāll outfox āem, outbox āem, outrock āem, Iāll top āem
Off the D-O-M-E, Iāll blow the S-P-O-T
Iāll make it H-O-T for any corny emcee
You cornballs all fall. Itās freefallāwho want to brawl?
Bring it all, bring it on. Iām leaving corny emcees encumbered
One against a hundred and theyāre still outnumbered
Iām the illestāyou feel this. When they rhyme, you donāt feel ya
When I flow, you reconsider. Iām considered an enigma
You get froze and shivers in your timbers from what we deliver
Iāll hit you with fatal blow to your arteries
Break your fucking mass up just like a philly
Split your left leg up ātil I get up to your knee
And then Iāll watch your face while your ass scream in agony
You donāt want no parts of me. The name is I.G
Period. When I deliver it, itās strictly inconsiderate
And if you donāt like it, you could just take it that way
Itās the Bronx and the n***a from Far Rockaway
So, yo, Reflection Eternal, what you got to say?
Next up on the mic, let your vocal style spray
[Verse 3: Talib Kweli (of Reflection Eternal)]
Iāll let my shit spray like a mist
Doesnāt matter. Iāll come through like you get a kiss
On the cheek. Doesnāt matter. Yo, I speak the shit
That make the other n***asā shit seem obsolete. These n***as
Is weak. Yo, theyāll get beat over the head with my beeper
Yo, they get run like a sneaker by a n***a
Who got no cash. It doesnāt matter. Iām all up on that ass
Coming through, your ass get head quick, fast
Like you needed a break. Doesnāt matter. Iāll come through
Your ass get eaten like a steak. How much more this
Can I take? Yo, this beat is a winner. Got DJ Spinna
Masta like a Jig. You was all in
The mud like a pig, but I donāt fuck with swine
Coming through, my mind is my business
Thatās why I rewind if I said, āDo this shit overā
Yo, come through. Iām a commander like Cobra
Yo, doesnāt matter ācause Iām crazy like Eddie
Yo, but, keep that on the Down Low, forget it
Like it was spaghetti. You was a fugazi
Doesnāt matter. These n***as is "H.O.U.S.E."ing like Doug Lazy
Or theyāre stomping like KYs. These guys
Yo, come through, they get swatted like flies
Yo, when I need some strength, I drink a Sea Moss
Or a Peanut Punch. N***as, I get... yo, I eat āem for lunch
Yo, I had to take a break off my job
Working at Nkiru Books is kind of hard
But, yo, Iāll take an emcee and jab like a lighting rod
Strike you. Doesnāt matter. I never liked you
Anyway in the first place. You was life from the worst race
And the worst place. And, in the first place
Iād have to state again, āYo, you was not my friendā
So while you try play light, my enemy, comprehend
What Iām about to do to you: run through you. You
Need to transfer from the two to the three to get a five
Your styleās not aliveāthatās why we call it dead
Yo, these rhymes is crazy off the top of the head
Or the dome. You split it in half and do me
If I said your name in my rhyme, fuck it. Sue me
I donāt really care and it doesnāt really matter
Come on, Hazadous. Just make the track fatter
[Interlude 2: Hazadous]
One, two. The H-A-Z in the place to be. Nahām saying? Jigmasta thing, aight? Big up Uptown. All-the-way live. Fortified (No doubt). Uh. Yo, check it out. Cats be fronting a whole lot, so weāre gonna do it like this. Yo
[Verse 4: Hazadous]
Fuck a gun. Iāll load up my mind and blow crews out the frame
Whatās your aim? You like Pinky and Iām The Brain
Iām a man that knows a million different methods to bring emcees pain
Stepping to the high? Now that sounds insane
The concrete jungle made me Tarzan, so I guess you Jane
My thoughts are long-range like the heat from the Sun
What I speak is heard worldwide and celebrated in every slum
East Coast to West Coast, it donāt matter where you from
We all the sameāwe love hip hop and we surrounded by cracks and guns
Travel a million miles but you still canāt run
I think itās the city lights that make me so numb
Drop it on emcees and make āem hit the ground like they weigh a ton
Plus I got this on lock like Iām selling them long jumbs
And, on top of all of that, Iām tighter than Primo drums
Break you down like subtractions, split wigs to small fractions
āTil the day I can grab clouds out the sky, Iāma keep stacking
When I canāt get hip hop, Iāll bug out like Fatal Attraction
Since we donāt film movies, you can stop all the acting
And we donāt need Puffy dancing in our videos to go platinum
Like that, son. You understand? We keep it clapping
Keep it coming. Yo, um, black in brethren
A lot of...
[Outro: All]
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Like that, yāall. Thatās that street. Thatās that street hip hop right there. Weāre just having fun. Eddie Ill, D.L. Shh...
