Rappers came with their styles and I left with their heads Their crews became victim of the body-snatchin dread The world is now mine, the world belongs to me I carefully planned the extinction of all wack MC's Now innocents must prepare for my slaughter My style will inherit the world, just like water Cover it like sauce, think about who lost Niggaz minds was the reason for the MC holocaust I'll be the first to admit, I'm on some next shit Two rappers stepped up and left bullemic, and anorexic I told humans I'd conquer and bomb shit Now I stand alone and take care of my continents A&R's used to ignore me (yep) realized I was nice Now it's no one left here to write my life story Ninety-five rappers shelled like pearls Hit by genocide, I inherited the world Chorus: repeat 4X Humanity gets crushed, with a style that's hard |

On the real, I freak techniques and beats in my sleep
The mack back in action show skills when I speak Watch my - leak when I bring it to your face I still corner dimes, but in the nine I'm on a paper chase Glass rocks, mega tops, Tims on your block Holding heat like crock pots and keeping g's in my socks (So, what's up, hopps?) I got to keep it tight like seams 'Cause ain't no fiends Coming in between me and my dreams See what I mean, black? I keep it real like that F a "word is bond" I need stocks and bonds from these ill raps Rappers won't see me with contacts, friend So, please act you've got a Siamese twin and think again 'Cause in the end I start off with flavor Next to bless your chest with freestyle fantasia Smooth behavior Seeing rappers as illusions Meaning they disappear but I'm hear to keep you moving chorus: Everybody, move ya body! Everybody, move ya body! Everybody, move ya body! I don't think twice, kid You know I bring it to ya live (repeat) See, I don't get writer's block Yo, I block other writers And there's been nights I had to wear sniper attire for biters Don't make that same mistake and get scarred, retard I see that tape you listening to got you thinking that you hard But dig this... Cut your hair and get your name on your stomach I still find ways to make your whole rap career plummet Maintain I steal mics out of the frame But now people think they know me 'cause they know my real name While I stay same Doing shows and tours Somewhere in a phat crib(?) playing Sega in the dashboard Styles of sword(?) and flowing steadily Trapping MCs in mazes forever like Frankie Beverly You know the steeze I'm bringing beats to they knees Holacausting MCs and sees some g's before I breath That's how it be It's no doubt that I Got to bring it to your chest as I bring it to ya live chorus So, from this point on until the day that they bury me I'll still be on a hunt trying to snatch this currency Putting my peeps on while friends turn fake They get pissed thinking I be in Switzerland checking some real estate Dropping LPs every year Somewhere in a mansion with a butler named Vincent Jeffrey Belvadere I'm rare But, rappers ain't trying to hear The reason why their girl freestyled her number in my ear It's my year, son, and I ain't trying to slip I'm trying to collect props and get not(?) to stretch money clips Honey-dips I keep 'em on like low end So, f five-o Illegal, so we don't got to go there It's so unfair How I do wack crews shady They want to be next up Their style sucks like a new baby They can't faze me Mics and man fusion Beats I keep bruising Do your thing and keep moving chorus (repeat twice) |

from Mad Skillz - The Million Dollar Backpack (2008)
(Man speaking)
What's in my backpack? Right now in my backpack is a laptop, Four records, one of them is Peter Piper 12 inch, three Sorato records, two needles, Headphones, and four condoms. (Female speaking) My iPod, my wallet, my lipstick... (Another female speaking) One phone, the wristbands for the party, Um, that's it Break it down! Big never had one but Kanye did, But he misplaced his soon as he got rich. Puff had one way before he 'came Diddy, Used to see him all the time out in New York City. Houston rocked his live when Arsenial, Buckshot was the first one to put his in the video. MC Search dropped the flow with his on his back On the last episode of "Yo, MTV Raps!". I'm on topic, I rocked it when it wasn't that cool. I'm goin home, But it looked like I was goin to school. And as far as accessories, They second to none. Every DJ in the world had his records in one. When you in the club with one, You might get stares. Can tell a lot about a person by what's in theirs. All kinds of lines, all kinds designs, Nice shoes in yours, But my dreams are in mine. See the music I make has a certain sound, It's not Pop so they like to call it Underground. You can't separate music. It's good or it's not, Cause if Mariah was on this shit, This shit would be Pop. Now under me is beneath like can't get over. When you think of Underground, You probably think it's lower. But ain't nothing low about this, My dreams is high. I believe that if you reach, You can touch the sky. So, get on your grind, Let your mind get absorbed. But your time into it, And you can probably do it. And they say that all I make is backpack music. Well I say, hey, all they make is wack crap music. New era and I'm about to school ya, Yeah I got a backpack, But don't let that fool ya. Cause this one here been to all kinds of places. I've been there, Skillz, So I'm destined for greatness. Yall do what you do, Imma stay on my grind. I ain't sure what's in yours, But my dreams are in mine. And the game ain't changed so recognize the signs. I ain't sure what's in yours, But my dreams are in mine. Yall do what you do, Imma stay on my grind. I ain't sure what's in yours, But my dreams are in mine. Matter of fact, Dre, run that back... Welcome to the Million Dollar Backpack. |
