[Intro]
Four elements...
There's DJ'in'
There's breakin'
There's graffiti
And then there's the mc

[Verse 1]
Top of the food chain, devourin' the competition
Abort mission, 'cause it's the bomb like nuclear fission
To go against the arsonist, now that's a bad decision
'Cause listen they steady droppin' shit like a flock of pigeons
So listen as I paddle up your ear canals, torrential
Waters on instrumentals, feedin' you vitamin and all essentials
Potential's monumental when it comes to hip-hop
Makin' a terror stop is like holdin' back a triceratops
Our ratios replacin' those, wannabes you're facin' pros
Screamin' 'bout your drugs, money, violence and fellatios
Stereotypes, got you blind like Venetians
This bullshit they're speakin's causin' o-zone depletion
Delivery upon completion, we're civilized like the Phoenecians
But won't hesitate, commence deletion
I hit backspace and you're gone within a second
My clarity's beyond when I stay mic checkin'

[Hook]
So tell me who's known for rockin' the mic (mic, mic, mic)
Settin' fires, blazin' all stages in sight (right)
Leave it to the emcee, holdin' the crowd you must admit
You didn't know, but now you know, hip-hop's the shit
So tell me who's known for rockin' the mic (mic, mic, mic)
Settin' fires, blazin' all stages in sight (right)
Leave it to the emcee, holdin' the crowd you must admit
You didn't know, but now you know, hip-hop's the shit

[Verse 2]
And I ain't callin' it quits, 'cause lyrically I stay fit, tight-knit
Requirements to battle first-aid kits
Spit gigabits of wits, puttin' niggas to shame
Y'all didn't listen when Spike Lee told you 'I Got Game'
I'm diplomatically immune from these bafoons
Dwell in my cocoon in the cut like DJ Typhoon
Stay tuned, the creature from The Black Lagoon's comin' soon
Cold like the dark side of the moon
At high noon be ready to face off like Cage and Eminem
Spit fire phlegm, and put an end to your problems
I remain dormant till I perform it to trick opponents
Never disownin', keepin' hint of power components
Send us to society, you tell my variety
Let my notoriety to the point that labels are eyein' me
They want my solo part waxed, yes, they have contracts
Charged cause they keepin' me from gettin' called for my tracks

[Hook]
So tell me who's known for rockin' the mic (mic, mic, mic)
Settin' fires, blazin' all stages in sight (right)
Leave it to the emcee, holdin' the crowd you must admit
You didn't know, but now you know, hip-hop's the shit
So tell me who's known for rockin' the mic (mic, mic, mic)
Settin' fires, blazin' all stages in sight (right)
Leave it to the emcee, holdin' the crowd you must admit
You didn't know, but now you know, hip-hop's the shit

[Verse 3]
My power towers like the Eiffel, believe I got the right pull
My vision is insightful, you look you get an eyeful
Se-verse Rhy-chology keeps you thinkin' that you as hot as me
Then snatch your Adams apple, performin' that tracheotomy
Follow me if you can, 'cause I remain inventin'
Y'all niggas 'bout to be out of here like Bill Clinton
Inaugurate the magistrate, number one candidate
I carry weight like freights when passin' through those 52 states
Perfection on the first take while I'm causin' the worst quakes
I shift the Earth's plates, stomp hard and made the first lakes
The crust breaks, divided into continents
My prominence is dominance, new common sense
I free the dense, tense, there's past present and future
I sweep through time continuum, channelin', travellin'
Until I reach the ninth millenium
Attention all space cadets, hip-hop is the triple threat
Expandin' like the Internet, come and place your bets
