[00:26.090] Back in the days on the boulevard of Linden,
[00:27.870] We used to kick routines and presence was fittin'
[00:30.410] It was I the abstract
[00:31.900] And me the five footer
[00:32.910] I kicks the mad style so step off the frankfurter
[00:35.310] Yo, Phife, you remember that routine
[00:37.140] That we used to make spiffy like mister clean?
[00:40.100] Um um, a tidbit, um, a smidgen
[00:42.820] I don't get the message so you gots to run the pigeon
[00:45.690] You on point Phife?

[00:59.830] I'm like an energizer 'cause, you see, I last long
[01:02.360] My crew is never ever wack because we stand strong
[01:04.940] Now if you say my style is wack that's where you're dead wrong
[01:07.310] I slayed that body in El Segundo then push it along
[01:10.010] You'd be a fool to reply that Phife is not the man
[01:12.390] Cause you know and I know that you know who I am
[01:14.890] A special shot of peace goes out to all my pals, you see
[01:17.530] And a middle finger goes for all you punk MC's
[01:19.910] Cause I love it when you wack MC's despise me
[01:22.360] They get vexed, I roll next, can't none contest me
[01:24.850] I'm just a fly MC who's five foot three and very brave
[01:27.280] On job remaining, no I'm chaining cause I misbehave
[01:29.860] I come correct in full effect have all my hoes in check
[01:32.380] And before I get the butt the jim must be erect
[01:34.880] You see, my aura's positive I don't promote no junk
[01:37.360] See, I'm far from a bully and I ain't a punk

[02:07.680] We used to kick routines and the presence was fittin'
[02:10.220] It was I the Phifer
[02:11.580] And me, the abstract
[02:12.720] The rhymes were so rumpin' that the brothers rode the 'zack
[02:15.330] Yo, tip you recall when we used to rock
[02:17.350] Those fly routines on your cousin's block
[02:19.820] Um, let me see, damn I can't remember

[02:35.130] Okay, if knowledge is the key then just show me the lock
[02:35.240] Got the scrawny legs but I move just like Luke Brock
[02:39.980] With speed I'm agile plus I'm worth your while
[02:42.690] One hundred percent intelligent black child
[02:45.070] My optic presentation sizzles the retina
[02:47.600] How far must I go to gain respect? Um
[02:50.080] Well, it's kind of simple, just remain your own
[02:52.460] Or you'll be crazy sad and alone
[02:54.500] Industry rule number four thousand and eighty
[02:57.620] Record company people are shady
[03:00.360] So kids watch your back 'cause I think they smoke crack
[03:02.600] I don't doubt it, look at how they act
[03:04.800] Off to better things like a hip-hop forum
[03:07.460] Pass me the rock and I'll storm with the crew and
