I'm reloaded, you f**ing wit the wrong MC Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease to the whole industry Potent as Hennessey that was distilled in Tennessee One shot scrambles your memory indefinitely Nowadays a hundred bars ain't impressive to me You stepping to me n***a do it intelligently You wanna battle or you wanna f**ing wrestle wit me You ain't better than me, you just got an obsession wit me Canibus hybrid, the cake icing of rhymeness As I grow older I get colder like the declining climate Of earth's environment, I'm entirely tireless Rhymes come from my higherness of wireless dialect Scientists from Sirius B designed my specs Astrally project during heightened s**, chakras connect Doctors inspect what they can't possibly interpret yet That's why they revert to threats They curse and throw fits They like immature earth cadets looking like Captain Kirk in a dress Lyrically I step on you, rip on you Then I defecate what I just digested on you I'm better than you, I'm better than you, I'm better than you Just to get the chequered flag I'll put the pressure on you Put the extra effort on you write a motherf**ing letter to you And your editors too, threatening you Detective check your mail and your messages too You can take this verbal slashing that I left as a clue Execute the type of wickedness the devil approves Which basically means I can do whatever with you I'm a rap music mutant with a cool name Misconstrue fame, but I spit butane Blue flames out giant CO2 tanks Demagnetize memory banks, enhanced, advanced One of a kind like modern man's retina scans Quick as a glance and flickers from kerosene lamps What you want me to break first? Your jaw or your grill? What type of spit you want from me? Sparkling or still? Study law, Yale draw up my own deals So the longer they resist me the stronger I feel Spread the ganglia from Tanzania To the flats of East Anglia, give up, you can't keep up The man eater in a wife beater Spreading Typhoid Fever through mic receivers with light reverb Type in the right keywords, I might emerge Takes a really nice n***a to incite these nerds n***as wanna see the gully in me, keep f**ing with me Never under pressure, I keep the pressure under me Burn the weed Drop a freestyle on the internet then watch n***as burn the CD Upload a picture of your mug getting DP'd I'm one size away from 13, believe it she peed I'm the illest and its gonna be that way forever Word of mouth is good but a mouth of words is better n***a No body gets sicker than the Ripper
