[Intro]
Uhm...uhm...
[Verse 1: Phife]
The undefeated, unblemished, underrated
Unfiltered, unafraid, unaffected
Undaunted, unabashed, the undeniable
Untouchable, unstoppable, unusual
Underdog, unsurpa**ed, unyielding
Unsupportive, f** you and your feelings
Unrelenting, unscathed, uncontrollable
Unpleasant one, problem with me? Feelin' is mutual
Hah, and that's just me in a nutshell
Uncentered, unchanging, unbreakable
Unconscious, uncouth, unbearable
Unmerciful, unexplainable, unemotional
Uninterested when dealing with unoriginals
Unaccustomed to unproven whack flows
Unresponsive to unapproved stage shows
That's unacceptable, unexciting, lazy f**er
Phife the uncanny, uncommon rhyme spitter
[Hook]
Hah yeah, that's just me in a nutshell
Nutshell, nutshell, nutshell
Said, that's just me in a nutshell
Five Footer in a mothaf**in' nutshell
[Verse 2]
Peep the rebirth of the reborn as I rebuild
Reconnect with this rebel, redefining raw sk**
I realign, readjusted, refocused
Rean*lyzed what's real versus bullsh**
Had to refuel, reactivate to reemerge
Reevaluate, recalculate, b**h I return
Redefine, re-energize, get reacquainted
Read 'em kids incorporated, roots we made it
Invulnerable, inviting, invincible
Inventive one, which leaves most in-viable
Get involved, invest in these youths kid
Invigorate, induce that old realness
Insecure, nah, more like inhumane, it's not a game
Shut your mouth, use your inner voice, stay in your lane
Inaugurate those with incentive to innovate
Insistent that those who inspire we will initiate
[Hook]
What? And that's just me in a nutshell
Nutshell, nutshell, nutshell
Ha, Phife Dawg in a nutshell
Know you're trying us in a nutshell
[Scratches: DJ Rasta Root]
Who's that?
Five Footer...Phife
We're winning for the Phifer
One thousand, unstoppable
Give me the microphone right
It seems like it's my turn again
When's the last time you heard of any gladiator
Hey s**a n***a, wherever you are

[A capella outro: Phife]
Peep the rebirth of the reborn as I rebuild
Reconnect with this rebel, redefining raw sk**
I redefine, realign, refocused
Rean*lyzed what's real versus bullsh**
Had to refuel, reactivate to reemerge
Reevaluate, recalculate, b**h I return
Redefine, re-energize, get reacquainted
Read 'em kids incorporated, roots we made it
