[Hook] I'll keep this brief, it's nice to meet you Though I can't get past your ego I never hold a grudge cause love is the way Hello, hi, hey... anyway When we do talk then I get s**ed into Introductions to your ego You're rubbing me the wrong way Hello, hi, hey... anyway [VERSE 1] (Vursatyl) Hey yo peace Vursatyl Hey what's up dude Yo my name is Brian but my MC name is Catapult (oh word?) Word my crew is called the Cannibals (ah cool) Yeah we're 30 deep and each member's a mutant culmination of six animals See each MC is simultaneously (okay) six creatures, that's six styles with six features Man we're the wild kingdom of hip hop... Okay! Hey! It's nice to meet you but I'm just about to go on stage... Right, well, speaking of stages, we're the latest phase in hip hop And I mean face it... hip hop s**s without us And we're the best that bust and best at touching the mic I mean I like how y'all do (thank you) But we on some new next level complexity, tarzan telepathy, organic especially Me, see, I'm kinda like the leader... Damn, I wasn't knowin! Well, you sleepin on a heater Nah, I ain't never been the type to sleep... Me either! And that reminds me, we just recorded 90 new treats (uh huh) Our 15 CD box set is finally complete (whoa..) And did I fail to mention also I do beats on my Playstation 2 And I've comprised the hi-fidelity medley supreme stream a heater beat you won't believe I'm even makin' you... Hold up cat, beats you makin for me? No doubt, wait til you see! Now why you doing that man? C'mon Vurs, man you my favorite MC, next to me Cause these MCs are losers! (crumbs!) They just some wannabe bunch of me broken boosers (bums!) Word that's true and even my crew The truth is without me those dudes are borderline useless Which brings me to my solo LP, my new website, my summer tour (wow) My cameos and collaborations with some obscure artists.. (shh..) It's hard to harness this much talent (yeah I'll bet) C'mon Vurs man you should know you're a vet And by the way when's the next time y'all playin? Well besides tonight I think it's uh... Uh huh right like I was sayin I'm nice and if you got some advice on points I'm missin my ears are open Alright listen.. [Hook] [VERSE 2] (Vursatyl) None of this is concocted It's not pretend Honest depictions of what I comprehend as apparent arrogance And I've got a friend that sometimes get's into (phone rings)...hold up this might be him Hello? Hi is Irv there? This him Hey what's up with you bro? Loungin man Long time no hear from Yeah I know Man I just flew in last night I caught y'all show I could of had that slot but they was fakin' on the dough Word? Yeah they fronted Well we just wanna get heard Well yeah y'all should settle I keep forgetting y'all ain't on my level And so many are not quite The MC that I am I guess it's lonely at the top right? (well, yeah I guess) Man it's hard being the best These MCs get pissed cause next to me they almost don't exist No diss but who can really say that they've gone where I've gone Or play where I've played Or that they've done what I've done Stay where I've stayed Sold what I've sold And done closeOr come close Yeah the nerve of some folks Yeah and even y'all can't compare Y'all startin to swell But a cameo from me would really boost your record sales Mm...well we kinda tryin to build with these cats from round the way Man don't tell me that you feel them paperweight so-called rhymers I can make or break Hold me, eternal gratitude, show me respect And ask any record store People might buy your album but it's really me that they checkin for I've seen it once or a hundred times (phone rings...) Hold up folks I got somebody on the other line [Hook REPRISE] Though we're good friends it never ends Your self destructive ma**ive ego I never hold a grudge cause love is the way Hello, hi, hey... anyway You've gone too far It's just the way you are Hope that doesn't scar your ego You're rubbing me the wrong way Hello, hi, hey... anyway [VERSE 3] (Vursatyl) Vur-sa-tyl I must be tired I'm hearing voices It's me Vurs the one who interferes in your choices Wait, who are you? Now see there that's the treat I've been known as arrogant To sometimes conceit Self-absorbed, self-centered I'm co*ky, vain Stuck up, proud, pompous, other vulgar names I'm closely a**ociated to fame and success (alright) But I'm a part of everybody's thoughts more or less I'm just confidence misconstrued as something evil Alright get to the point man...who are you? Your ego Nah I play it humble (true) I watch my words close My rep proceeds me You never heard Irv boast Hold it Need I remind you of the clever Kid rhyming backstage in your ear forever? Yeah, so? And what about the call from your friend? Who was kinda jaded, kinda dissed you at the end? Now what you getting at? That was us Us who? Me and you Man we were that kid Vurs Nah man! It's true! I never sweat other rhymers! I never diss my troopers! Well that kid was our past And that friend could be our future Nah you got me twisted Ego trips don't concern me! Chill Vurs those we're just stages on your journey I mean you are dope Stop it man (Vurs is hearing voices...) I mean you're the best rapper I mean really Just think about it man No one can touch you I mean you're better than all the other MCs out there Ahhhhhhhhh!!! [Hook REPRISE 2] How can this be? I finally see That it was me who had the ego Please don't hold a grudge cause love is the way Hello, hi, hey... anyway Swallow my pride Now that I'm wise Sincerely I apologize For rubbing you the wrong way Hello, hi, hey... anyway [OUTRO] (DJ Rev Shines) (scratches) Hello hello hello hello hello Hey hey hey hey hey Hello hello hello hello hello H-h-hey hey hey hey hey... ...
