Illmaculate (spoken): Yeah, Machine (Uh, Huh) I'm lovin' this one man (Yeah) Let's make a toast (To what?), to cla**ic hip-hop (Cheers!) Illmaculate: We celebratin', I'm elevated, my mind's high Time flies, my melon's achin', But why cry? I keep it one-hundred I'm not a thug but if you run up get done up No deed goes unpunished And maybe we been punished for the f** of it But maybe we became stronger because of it I'm not a man that just sit back and does nothin' Instead of cut onions, I'm in the club hustlin' Cds for five bucks, and if you need trees I might just know that guy If you like us you don't whine like, "Life s**s" And don't ask why, you rise up Oh, and I think I can fly but I can't be sure, cause it only works when my eyes shut, man I can't stand it, first I'm flyin' Then I open my eyes and crash land back to earth I'm Captain Kirk, abandon ship There's cash to get and that comes first This rap's legit, I traffic words It's all about the independent hustle It can get expensive, boy, you gotta get what's expected of you I'm only here to get mine You get yours, do your chores
sh**, I make sure the truth's explored Ride with me through my city, we light sticky Keep that haze blowin', I keeps the day goin' I'm nice wit it, I ball I'm like pif and a pump-fake You chumps hate? I'm brawlin' like Lennox You crumb-cake Sweeter than some peanut-brittle I'm uncut, I won't even clean it up a little you dumbf** Get your mind right, I'll show you what's what When the time's right But I'm properly building my rhyme sk**s Got me lookin' like a one man highlight reel I'm Dominique Wilkins In his prime, but I ain't even in mine yet Chase down with water if it's too hard to digest I rhyme fresher than most, I blow by opponents And only look back to measure my growth I'm reppin' my coast While the Po-Pos watch And still throw them dubs up in every photo-op I'm loco That's why I don't need to hold no Glock My man Machine's got heat like Robo-Cop Hold up... I've been givin' the best tools So everything I do is a deliberate chess move (check) I'm one move from takin' your queen Two from matin' your king The fat lady can sing It's over
