Droppin` It

..* Ego Trip`s "Book of Rap Lists"; p. 323 *..<br><br>[Verse One]<br>Through the years, of watchin the behavior of an MC<br>I came to the conclusion that a sucker mind is empty<br>What I`m tryin to say is ingenuity is lackin<br>Full participation is the only thing I`m askin<br>Focus your full attention on every word that is expressed<br>Uttered, announced, spoken or told<br>Swallow it whole then let my science explode<br>But still I`m classified as a sucker, so?<br>I overlook, then invent a rhyme to get `em wise<br>But you`re too busy bein beamed up to the Enterprise<br>You have no grabs, no concept, no nothin<br>but then you criticize the rhymes that +I+ be bustin<br>How can you do this when you`re stankin brand new to this?<br>Be aware that I`m not the MC to diss<br>I`m just a man that enjoys this type of music<br>and you don`t have the faintest idea of how to use it<br>For the next few minutes please let me enlighten you<br>but don`t bite into, or I`ll be fightin you<br>And then that will only add into the crime rate<br>when my goal is to help you like rhyme straight<br>You have a very very very short attention span<br>And after this you`ll probably be another wishin fan<br>Knowledge on the loose, and there`s no stoppin it<br>You want true enlightenment? Well I`m droppin it<br><br>[Verse Two]<br>Super-cala-fraga-listic, let`s kick it live again<br>Do I have to tell you that you`re wack, time and time again?<br>Here`s a brief example of a complicated cut<br>{*DJ cuts and scratches rapidly*} So what?<br>For a song like this a cut like that would not be needed<br>If not used correctly then the purpose is defeated<br>For example {*better scratch*} sounds much better<br>However; many, are not that clever<br>To the hip, hop, now yo just stop it!<br>Many are still stuck on the old school topics<br>Drop it, forget it move on focus all attention this way<br>This may, leave you in a state of confusion<br>You`re choosin, you chose me because I`m your MC<br>The one the two the three, it`s me MC Will-Ski<br>If you dig a little deeper then you see I keep a style of mine<br>On the other hand, understand I keep a pile of rhymes<br>Move across the city with the use of only one line<br>When you get adjusted then I kick, out the next rhyme<br>Knowledge on the loose, and there`s no STOPPIN IT<br>You want true enlightenment? Well I`m droppin it<br><br>[Verse Three]<br>Fully illustrated was a style to keep `em all away<br>But to my surprise, many MC`s made the same mistake<br>of takin my material and tryin to disguise it<br>MC`s if you`re listenin, Ski would not advise this<br>type of maneuver which can lead to aggravation<br>Cause this particular poet takes pride in his creation<br>So glance at the MC that is standin right in front of you<br>All my rhymes are fly sucker, now whatcha gonna do?<br>Never criticize if you can`t take, criticism<br>To acquire knowledge you must first, have the wisdom<br>See my mind is open let me broaden my horizon<br>Young brother with ambition so myself I`m not disguisin<br>But many brothers play the stereotype role<br>All about the money, fancy cars, a lot of gold<br>The goal is not important and the cars is transportation<br>So please spread the word to every ear throughout the nation<br>that money is a tool and the mind is in control<br>Once this is understood a different person will unfold<br>Knowledge on the loose, and there`s no stoppin it<br>You want true enlightenment? Well I`m droppin it<br><br>[Verse Four]<br>Let`s end this song of wisdom with a meditated thought<br>Did you truly understand, the lesson that was taught?<br>No I`m not a teacher this reality has dawned on me<br>The other man is blind, to the rap music industry<br>Cause he is only human and the money`s always green<br>But some brothers get trapped <br>and then they sell out on their dreams<br>Knowledge on the loose, and there`s no stoppin it<br>You want true enlightenment? I`m droppin it!<br><br>KnowhatI`msayin?<br>Cause I`m not gonna sell out to the other man<br>Down with Roland, the rhythm fanatic<br>Mixmaster D, Big Pete, Fly Eli, move and groove<br>Down with Payroll Records, period<br>And I`m outta here!
