[Interlude 1: Gaston]
Yo, check it out. Itās Wiseguy and Gaston live from New York via Metro Room here in UConn. Check it out. Weāre repping here for DJ Unknown and Mek, Brothers on the Slide. Wiseguy, thatās my brother on the side. But check this out
[Verse 1: Gaston]
Rappers try avoiding me. Iām like a class thatās too hard
So Iām eating emcees at three oāclock in the schoolyard
Iām large like a two-car garage. Kind of n***a
To barge into a club free of charge. Emcee
At large. Better call the National Guard
āCause Gastonās running circles āround these rappers like sharks
So hark! Who goes there? This roadāll lead you nowhere
Fast, distaste with emcees that cross my path
Autograph your girlās ass. The world-class poet
Yāall donāt want to battle ācause youāre wack and you know it
Clap your hands. Slamming like a battering ram
Masses of fans be like, āGastonās the man,ā but letās
Attend to the matter at hand: rappers canāt
Stand me on the mic ācause I know how nice I am
And afraid to tell it, will yell it from the highest mountaintop (Iām nice!)
And wonāt stop ātil our album drop. My body
Got about a thousand watts of pure hip hop
Flowing through it. Iām a conduit of music
Will chew it, digest it, then let it out on record
Shitting on emcees and wipe myself with their press skits
And I aināt need my best yet. Still blessed it
Made it look effortless, never missing a beat
Neither are my fans ācause theyāre always hitting repeat (Yo, why not?)
When they get out their seat, mission complete, mission
Complete, but trying, stopping two n***as like Wiseguy
And Gaston is Mission Impossible ācause weāve got to do
What you canāt do ācause Iām too hard to handle
Too hot to handle (Whoo!)
[Verse 2: Wiseguy]
Your wackness is exposed like toes in sandals. Wiseguy
And Gaston the baddest rapper ever rapping
Got the crowds clapping, feet tapping
Hands and fingers snapping
Iāll bust a cap in that ass, as Gaston and Guyās
Been rhyming too fast. Lyrically, youāve been
Outclassed and outmatched and overmatched
Wiseguy ācause Iām about to throw the lax
And you fall into the pit (Aaah!) of wackness
āCause you dare try to step to the New Yorkās best
Iām a lyrical threat with every rhyme I write
Day or night, Iām the greatest on the mic
And any rapper on or in my sightāll get broken
(Psss...) Iāll put a hole in you like a
Bowling ball. Iām throwing you all off the cliff
Trying to mess with the one with the lyrical gifts
My man Unknown told me, āNo free-
-styler can get on the microphone,ā but my skills
Have shown that Iāll blow any rapper out the frame
Donāt matter your size, age, or your name
Iām the baddest in the game. The average rappers came
And they only got slain ācause Wiseguyās the name
And remember it. Iām imprinting it on your ass
So you know better than stepping to Wiseguy and Gasā
āCause youāve been outclassed, ācause Iām the best
Saying, āPeace to the East and the West,ā but they need
To settle the beast between the West and the East
And understand that nobody is better than me
Peace

[Interlude 2: Rise]
Check, check, check. Where the hell is my check? Thereās ninety-nine Axis scientists. Rise, Apathy. Check
[Verse 3: Rise]
With no contract, Iāll spark mics. Y'all just catch contact
My mindās compensation for the size that my arms lack
On tracks, Iāll harm blacks in the name of progression
Advantage unfairārequested for drug testing
Verbal aggressions. Y'all rappers is pathetic (What you do?)
I don't kill emceesāI'll let them live to regret it
Switch clothes and zip codes, fake glasses and a fake nose (What else?)
And moustacheāwitness protection before a month's passed
Put this on a list of what you did when your time's up
My mind's deep (How deep?), a spoon's dig away from China
Suspects are lined up, hearing their last rights
Bad karma (Why?) because I was a jerk in a past life
Attract strife from black life, developed insight
I'll make you pay the price even if you bring your invite
In competition, microphones I abuse with
A lot of rich rappers are still poor excuses
It's useless. Face it, you can't defeat the basics (Face it)
I've got more rhymes than there's variations in human faces (Mad rhymes)
Dealt a bad hand, but I'm playing it smart
Iāll move from state of confusion to state of the art. My sharp
Debut will make your label wonder why they pay you
As people say, āI think I'm all that,ā whenever they do
I'm bad, meaning goodāto get better, I'll have to worsen
Iāll hang in little clubs and play only the dirty versions
Write constant rhymes, time I'm expanding
There's deep imprints in the fingers I hold my pen in
A class by myself, professors nonessential (Why?)
To get half as nice, you need twice your brainās potential (You canāt do it)
Addicted to mics, I hope you break your hard habit (Whatād you do?)
I'll embarrass you and send the battle tape to Bob Saget
It's lunacy. Iāll break natural laws and get immunity
I'm the leading cause of death in the wack community
Give it your all, I'll just make you wish that you kept it
Before I enter, rappers take note of the nearest exits
In hectic situations, I'm too calm (Too calm)
I'll laugh while your heart beats faster than Luke songs (Neutron)
The truth bombedāI lost count of all the causalities
Brighter than the light you walked into after you battled me. I'm
Not to be stepped on (Nah)āchoose a better mattress
Turn the bull you attack with into a leather jacket (Damn)
Comparison is like a hurricane to a teardrop
Level's that I used to be at will make you ears pop
Cause and a linked watch are things that help your shrinkās cop
Traumatized rappers seeing my face in ink blots
[Verse 4: Apathy]
Yo, I'm battering
Battle with data thatāll shatter marrow in bones. I'm shooting
Arrows in clones. Iāll sit with pharaohs in thrones
My arrogant poems and flow deflate the air in your domes
āCause Iāll fiend for microphones like a heroin jones
I'm tearing my clothes like Hulk with unbearable flows
Cutting terrible foes like little hairs in my nose
From the air, I arose, throwing paralyzing blows
I'll inherit your souls, then I'll spare it to crows
Cryogenically froze, so I could travel in the future
I'll defeat you with the speed of a NASA supercomputer
My Glocks bump beats that I compose for tracks
Flowās so fat on wax that it blows your backs
Bogus cats get smacks from ferocious raps
My hypnosis entraps if you focus on the wax
I wrote this flow to impact biters of Ap
An emcee putting CT on the map
