I'm something fierce when it comes to the auditory My mic sings like a hummingbird, that's my word My claim to fame is the fliest that you ever heard Yo pa** the mic to L. Fly and let me catch wreck Cause I gets busy, the show or the soundcheck It doesn't matter yo, the pockets gettin fatter You can save all the chatter cause we thick like batter Somebody gotta win, somebody gotta lose Yo I pay my dues and I refuse to lose Givin crews the blues with any style you choose We chantin real Hip-Hop, f** the "Ahh's!" and "Oo's!"
