Super Lyrical Lyrics

[Verse 2: Black Thought]
Black Thought, the super lyricist, your arch-nemesis
Still with the Punisher, that's my accomplice
Stressing to emcees how they don't really want this
Electrifying shit his excellency Thought spit
These cats, they sentimental such with a gentle touch
Dancing double dutch and all saying nothing much
My sound wave lifting your chin up, like uppercuts
Newfound ways of ripping shit up, I develop
Your squad chest swell up, still you're mini-ay-ture to me
Nature-ally I bring the extremity

Musically intense with the globe in suspense
Contemplating where the world traveler been since
The Roots bless you with a strong record, long like a epic
Immerse you in some old next shit, ill poetic
Thought from Illadelph, somethin' like nothing else
My talk stomp like elephants upon every elf, 'cause what?

[Chorus]
Lyrically, I'm supposed to represent
Niggas'll tell you that I'm nice with the blah, blah, blah
Lyrically, I'm supposed to represent
You will lose, I must break you
Lyrically, I'm supposed to represent
Niggas'll tell you that I'm nice with the blah, blah, blah
Lyrically, I'm-I'm-I'm, I'm supposed to represent

[Verse 3: Big Pun & Black Thought]
Ayo, peace Roots, East Coast niggas reppin' the streets most
With heat, toast, and keep close more Phillies than Pete Rose

These those niggas that'll lift your mentals
Lyrics'll twist your temples into pretzels
Like the Triumph instrumental
My instrumental's the Renaissance, no resem-ba-lance
To nothing you come across, lyrical holocaust
The crowd pleaser, emcees freeze then catch seizure
They praise the Lord of rap thesis, true believers

Just call me Baby Jesus, 'cause lately niggas be praising me
Just for the way I blaze the beat crazily, tape to CD lasery
It pays to be amazingly flavory
Gaze into my rhymes that basically hypnotize you occasionally
Occasionally as I focus on my next opus
The way it's all fucked up and emcees is hopeless
I'll leave your head wrecked as I erect sculptures
My thought's just a fortress
Approach this ferocious up-closeness


[Chorus]
Lyrically, I'm supposed to represent
Niggas'll tell you that I'm nice with the blah, blah, blah
Lyrically, I'm-I'm-I'm, I'm supposed to represent


[Outro]
Lyrically
It's suicide
Lyrically
You've seen him, you know how strong he is
Lyrically
You can't win
Lyrically
It's suicide
Lyrically
You've seen him, you know how strong he is
Lyrically
You can't win
Lyrically
You can't win
Lyrically
You will lose
Lyrically
I must break you
Ly-ly-ly-ly-ly-lyrically

Genius Annotation

Lyrical heavyweights Big Pun and Black Thought collaborate over a Rockwilder track that utilizes vocal samples from Canibus (“It’s Logic”) and The Notorious B.I.G. (“One More Chance [Remix]”), with a clever use of a clip from Rocky IV at the end of the track.

Loud Records A&R Sean Cane spoke with XXL magazine in 2004 about Big Pun’s reason for wanting Black Thought to be featured on “Super Lyrical”:

Pun wanted to use Black Thought on there because everybody else was sleeping on him. He was like, ‘Yo, Black Thought is mad lyrical. Y'all don’t realize that. Everybody’s sleeping on him. Watch, I'ma put him on here so niggas see how lyrical he is.’

Fat Joe added:

Pun was like, ‘Yo, I wanna fuck with him.’ And at first, I thought Black Thought kinda got in his ass. But Pun’ll set a nigga up–let you rhyme equal to him, then come out here and fuck you up.
