[Verse 1: Black Thought]
Over the globe again from the realm of Illadelph
The planet overwhelmed yo just brace yourself
You wanna go against me first face yourself
I pose threat to whoever within ya commonwealth
The toxin I'm crushing ya crab concoction
To the utmost, examine this up close it's shocking
Now, mic dropping is ya only option
Here come the spliff scientist in the flesh have you forgotten?
His excellency the most poetically inventive
Official hip hop sh** that's ya incentive
To cop this actual fact and not the likeness
Cause possibly clones 'd try to do it like this
Fathom this lyrically fabulous vocabulist
Hold mic like four fifth and lick shot
So what, like Pete to wreak Rock? I think not
I don't just smoke, I sleep drink and think Pot
I want the type of vehicle that brings God
Composing till the inks hot my hip hop is wild megawatts
Continuous forever exist and never stop
What up whatever op, we can thicken the plot because
(Chorus)
And it's time for that and it's about that time
It's time for that and it's about that time
Rob 0 it's time for that and it's about that time
Pete Rock it's time for that and it's about that time
Black Thought it's time for that and it's about that time
[Rob O]
I'm Rob 0 what, energize like a power plant blow speakers
Without an amp do things these wack rappers can't
And start again 33 rpm the hearts of men
It's cold like the steel I hold on microphones
Let my words express move men like chess
My mic will stand erect like projects
It's drastic top draft pick in this rap sh**
You just a fraction caught up in the midst of action
My catalog is current events breath the contents
What I move crowds for local events the show stopper
98 feature spot rocker Rob Odendo
Now every MC wanna mention me out of envy
Unofficially top of the charts I played my part
Held it down from the start you know the M.O
Yeah yeah Rob Odendo
(Chorus)
[Pete Rock]
Yo it's the Capital P book rhymes of the century
Speak rap line essentially on the M-I-C
I hold the mic appliance like science
My competitors and clients worldwide as my words coincide
With real life think twice transmit like true lies
It's televised take my man*scripts out of context
Who want next situation is complex
Stop the nonsense it's 98 time to set the record straight
Separate movers and shakers from those that hesitate
Ya featherweight name carry weight in every state
Ya name brand no frills n***as is marinate
It's Pete Rock new world innovator
Crush imitators five years since the creator
It's nuff said as I paint the town red and move ahead
(Chorus)
