[01:16.693]My style is untangible, like a wild animal
[01:19.185]Check the label as it goes round it's on Capitol
[01:21.439]That's what I'm smackin you with cause it's easy
[01:24.185]Like Lionel Richie, your whole style is bitchy
[01:26.685]Switch me, mix me, somebody get me
[01:29.436]Don't let me rip out my clothes like Bill Bixby
[01:31.693]Rippin the microphone 'til I'm mother****in sixty
[01:34.200]Smokin the indo, by the window, it's sticky
[01:36.692]Spark the izm, my expertism, is lyricism
[01:39.698]My flow will take you over, like I was hypnotism
[01:41.936]So where's the lighter, to decipher,
[01:43.938]the skills that I'm bringin
[01:45.697]hyper than a little kid on ginseng roots
[01:47.196]and culture, my intellect will insult ya
[01:49.685]Finish off your dead mind like a vulture
[01:51.940]I gotta get mine, get a grip

[02:25.193]Check out my potion, mad rhythm in the motion
[02:27.935]The izm, brings the wisdom, when I kick it on the rhythm
[02:30.947]Check it how I rock it in a cipher
[02:32.690]Desire, takes you higher, lyrical messiah
[02:35.450](Yo yo yo yo-yo, pass that lighter)
[02:38.192]Counterclockwise, I rise like the sun
[02:40.447]Now feel the heat from the rays of the gun
[02:42.695]Shootin out the mental mist
[02:44.946]How you gonna know the real shit

[03:08.435]Goin through the channels of the remote control
[03:10.935]Flickin through the frequencies of your soul
[03:13.935]Then roll the izm, the inflater, I'm weeded
[03:16.186]Like wearing a sweater, at the equator, I'm heated
[03:18.692]But I flip a style like I flip a channel
[03:20.685]Step up and test the skills, you can get my tes-ticules
[03:23.437]Cause hip-hop's been runningthrough my veins ever since
[03:26.198]So it wasn't hard for me to grab the mic and represent
[03:28.693]Representing tormenting MC's craniums
[03:31.935]Till they can't flow why cause I'm drainin em
[03:34.439]Don't mean to be blunt but don't front
[03:36.685]I'm doing it for the love so now I'm doin what I want
[03:39.187]To do with my Channel Live crew so just listen
