[Illogic]
This is a little tale I like to tell, everybody
About me, and when I finally meet my match on the battle scene
Check it out, yo
Now I was strolling down the block blessing my mind with freestyle scriptures
In battles I emerged triumphant within my mental pictures
Then there`s a tap on my shoulder, a cipher appears from thin air
Crews form circular groups on blocks to shock the cyclops, Illogic me
Cats gave daps and formal introductions of rap names
As I made my way to the center I heard this kid bustin
He flipped dope syllables and colloquialisms line after line
Rhyme style was undefined but it reminded me of mine as I listened more intently
He didn`t offend me, cuz son was kind of fresh
But, as far as Illogic`s style goes, Illogic does it best
So, I stepped closer to the center, but yo, do my eyes deceive me?
Now, for this next line, most of y`all cats won`t believe me
But he reflected my identity perfectly to a T
I was sent, I couldn`t move just because
of the sheer amazement of the symmetry between me and he
An exact replica
In one line, he said his name was Illogic
So you know I had to step to the imposter
Yo, what what? You think you me?
What`s this? You ain`t Illogic
You ain`t the dopest emcee in the universe, punk
You need to...yo, we gotta settle this by battling
What`s the deal? What`s up?
The site of this imitation has me squeamish
Soon I`ll excavate lunch from my sto-mach
You couldn`t attempt to burn me because you`re no match
[Illogic 2]
Yo, yo, yo
Hold that cat you`re wack so being you is not an option
Cuz I rock you, so my superiority stays clear like fiber-optics
So stop this treasonous misbehavior
You better call your savior if you think defeating me`s worth the try
As I speed up the purpose of the process of your life: to die
The cipher and I are one and the same
Another one in the flame, I`m toasting
In life, hip hop`s a parasite, and it`s obvious I`m hosting
[Illogic]
Yeah, it`s obvious you`re roasting in my presence
As I heat up the spot with my explosive effervescence
Lessons in identity
Being me is impossible, to be you, you strain
[Illogic 2]
Yeah right, I`m you
With the height of my IQ you think I`m off the brain
I run insane emcees out the realm of sanity
You`re not even worth the oxygen I bless you with
So, as I live I`ve been given the gift to concentrate
And make the fake Illogic levitate off the face of the earth
For what it`s worth, I`ll abort you mom`s face from birth to nullify your existence
[Illogic]
What? Whatever...
You`re not even clever enough
I spit verses at you in 3-D
Lyrics get complex as pyramids or as simplistic as teepees
You wanna be me so bad you can taste it
So watch your mouth or I`ll slap the taste
My tongues the pencil, and the wack has been erased
[Illogic 2]
Yo, yo you crazy chasing dreams
(?) Word is chance, chase the coal (?)
You`re already feminine
So when it`s that time of that month you can`t even come with a flow
That shows your lack of skill
You`re wack at will
So I guess you`ll will it off
And with no delay, I guess you got nothing left to say
The real Ill has sealed the coffin, punk
What?! What now?
(That`s cool, you got me)
Yo, this is for all the kids that be biting the third
Biting our joints, biting our shows
You know what`s I`m saying?
This joint proves that the only person dope enough to defeat us is us
You know what` I`m saying?
This verse is for y`all punks
Check it out
Yo, yo now
Now are you done yet?
I hope so, cuz my next step is to stick a fork in ya
In the road, the end of the road
Forks five di-mensional
I`m tri-di-mensional
You should try di-mensional thinking
Cuz you`re shrinking
Must be losing tall props
It all stops when the phenomenal instance, so it`s logical if the ball drops
In your your team`s first string
It`s yours if I pull the first string to string you along
Bring you along on the ride of your lifetime
At which time we`ll end your lifetime
You only punch, but I bruise with used lifelines
On all lifelines death`s pulling, but mine
I`m out of this planet
You see, my blood`s liquidated granite
AS I attack you`ll have panic in mind
And to make moves I`ll pantomime
To paint silence I`ll paint a mime
An audible silence I`ll take to mind
So you`re now polluted
Whatever concentration you had has been diluted
Am I really that cruel? Thanks for the flattery
After this battery you`ll be flattery as plattery
Whichever comes first
You come first often, I`ve been told
Your girl knows me personally from the waste down
In my mind I`ll rewind time and rewinding emcees
CM, I see him, in a hypothetic synthetic hallucination
Wouldn`t want to be him
That`s for your your, check it out
This is Illogic, Blueprint
Me Myself, featuring I
You know what I`m saying?
Bordo (?) punks that be biting
Thinking they be dope enough to take us out
The only person that can take us out is us
You know what I`m saying?
That goes for all the hip hop community
All the REAL hip hop community
All you punks trying to be, trying to be hip hop
Saying y`all quote unquote hip hop
Real heads
You`re not
You know what I`m saying?
Y`all need to sit back down
Sit back down, listen to this joint
Than cower back in that corner and try to come up with creative stuff
You know what I`m saying?
This is Illogic, signing off
Peace
