[Intro]

"I-I-I want you..."

"G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

"Get re- Get re- Get retarded"

"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

"I want you..."

"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"


[Verse 1]

Yo, niggas is phony, fronting like they master of ceremonies

None of you suckers are even remotely close to me

To be nice, I sacrifice things like no sleep

I keep a library of lyrics on microfiche

Creating concepts so deep, niggas quote me

They rewind then interpret my rhymes to their homies

I've advanced beyond your flows eons ago

It's inevitable in '98 I'ma blow

Ever since '84, I've been in it to win it

But see back then we used to battle by spinnin' on the cement

You can't even absorb the rhymes I record

Or resolve the deep laws of the physics involved

I travel to the end of the Universe and beyond

Parsecs out of range from a cellular StarTec

From the galaxy of Andromeda

I puzzle niggas like crop circles and other unexplained phenomena


[Chorus]

Ayo, nine out of ten of these rap artists is garbage

"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

You spineless, rhymeless, niggas is heartless

"Get re- Get re- Get retarded"

Ayo, I came to see that hip-hop is never tarnished

"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

So I

"I want you..."

"G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"


[Verse 2]

Ayo, all I really want is you niggas to stop bitin'

All I really want is you niggas to start writin'

All I really want is you niggas to be original

And start spitting some lyrical shit that I could listen to

You haven't written the perfect rhyme yet

You don't even know the sequences to the Human Genome Project

You haven't come to terms with your god yet

And you refuse to believe in Unidentified Flying Objects

When I bomb shit, I get retarded, probably more than you bargained

I'm talking 'bout rip a mic off your arm shit

Hype shit, blow up a mic shit, you might get

Beat the fuck up in broad daylight with a nightstick

To the British, I'm Gandhi

To the Japanese, I'm an American pilot flying over Nagasaki

To the AIDS patient, I'm your last antibody

Sitting and waiting for a cure from modern biology


[Chorus]

Ayo, nine out of ten of these rap artists is garbage

"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

You spineless, rhymeless, niggas is heartless

"Get re- Get re- Get retarded"

Ayo, I came to see that hip-hop is never tarnished

"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

So I

"I want you..."

"G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"


[Verse 3]

Yo, I be looking directly into the human eye to see if you pussy

And completely ruin your ability to lie to me

I pull a nine on a bully, cock back the cannon

Goddamnit, I don't think you fully understand it

Ask nine out of ten niggas on the planet

Who the best is, the question will go unanswered

'Til I step up to the front line with rhymes

Revving my engines like they were powered by Le Mans

Murdering niggas with lyrics manufactured within my DNA's double-helix

I leave you in troubled spirits

I'm absolutely the purest breed of emcee

From the United States of America to Europe I deserve it

However you wanna word it, I'm perfect

Touch my microphone on accident and get murdered on purpose

Motherfucker!


[Chorus]

"I want you.."

"G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

Ayo, nine out of ten of these rap artists is garbage

"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

You spineless, rhymeless, niggas is heartless

"Get re- Get re- Get retarded"

Ayo, I came to see that hip-hop is never tarnished

"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

So I

"I want you..."

"G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"


[Outro]

"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

"Get re- Get re- Get retarded"

"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"
