[Intro: Yasiin Bey]

Peace, welcome to this cypher

Black Dante, Black Thought, Eminem

We in Brooklyn, I gotta do this for Brooklyn

Listen, real quick, yo

[Verse 1: Yasiin Bey]

For sinners, saints and scramblers and gamblers, and dirty money handlers

Dignitaries and champions, narcotic traffickers

Talented number runners and racketeers

Stars of stage, page and cameras, slang swingers and swaggerers

Double barrels and Derringers, automatics and miracles

Europe, Asia and Africa, all the time in America

Atlantic, Ashland, Albemarle to Albany

Bridge into Baltic, Bedford Ave., Bergen Street

Clinton to Cadman, Church Ave. to Clarendon Road

To Central Avenue, Cooper House, Cypress

And live from Bedford-Stuyvesant, the livest

High-flyingest pilot bombardier from Pyrrhus

Stationed live and direct, Medina mastermind set

Dem CAN'T lock my set! Now lock off, cool!

Peace to the nation of the Gods and the Earths

And the Sun, Moon and Stars, furthermore born knowledge

Go harrrrrrd!

[Verse 2: Black Thought]

Uh, yeah, yeah, check it out

Remix, risin' up outta the flames like a phoenix

Strainin' to carry the weight of my brain like a genius

Knowin' I'm sowin' seeds, let's see whose thumb is the greenest

If I said it, I mean it, and did it because I need it

Eat, sleep it and bleed it, write it down and then read it

Asphalt to the cement, your trash talk is deleted

Blast off! I lay 'em out like a Tempurpedic

Black Thought — I told you I'ma win eventually

This unsung, underrated, underappreciated

The one them underachievers had underestimated

Finally graduated from somethin' that's so hated

To one of the most sacred, nobody gon' take it, face it!

I keep doin' it well

Doin' it sans assistance is do it yourself

Doin' it below the radar, we doin' it stealth

Doin' it again for Illadelph and who else, but check it out

Y'all see him on a job, see my eyes focused where the prize be

I'm like Martin Luther King, you like Rodney

The difference is I give it everythin' inside me

Dear Diary, my fans still swear by me

Even though I'm Late Night now like Here's Johnny!

Swimmin' with them great whites now is how to find me

Funny how it break right down, but never mind me

I'm forever grimy, guess it's just Philly shinin'

Rock rolla, bi-polar like Phyllis Hyman

[Verse 3: Eminem]

Like a dope fiend openin' up a bottle of dopamine

You're just hopin' he don’t get rope for your throat to choke anythin'

Oh, and just think how dope he could be if he smoked anythin'

Oh, there goes the bell — the sound of the openin' ding

I hit you as hard as barbiturates in the ribs

With a switch and stitch you at the same time before you can flinch to it

My **** is so big, if I add another inch to it

You would swear when I ***** you that you was actually into it

I'm not a baller, but you can bet your fuckin' bottom dollar

That I remember when I was without a dollar bill in my wallet

Now, watch me kill a koala while I maul a chihuahua

Bum a pill off of Paula like, "Let me holler at you, mama"

It's like I'm off the bombom when I bring the ******' drama

Used to bomb ya like Saddam, but now that I'm a little calmer

I'm a ******' cross between Osama, Dahmer, Obama and Dalai Lama

Tell Miley I'm her knight in shinin' armor

Mail a gift to Taylor Swift's trailer a picture of my genitalia

With a note sayin', "*****, I can't wait to **** ya"

Drug paraphernalia, beware, the werewolf will kill ya

That's him in his sheep's clothes, he just shaved his hair off, Cecilia
