[Verse 1: Playdough]

Let's put the first last

Open up the door for you

Used to cover what you were saying but now they ignore ya'

It's hard to come terms, taking these learns

I'm used to be the illest, my skill is slow burn

Cause I been overshadowed on it

Every song, spat upon it

Everybody else is introspective, I just battle on it

But in a crew there always has to be the wack one

Know I am, Playdough, the first and last one


[Verse 2: manCHILD]

One up the competition like a two-point conversion

In a full season division classical baton excursion

It's person to person worsenin' with age and I can't

Feed my feeble presence, it's orchestrated and financed

People making comments, even dance spin for the [?] man

Falling far below the top ten, the spot where I been

Well, every crew I guess there has to be the wack one

Know I am, manCHILD, the first and last one


[Verse 3: Sev Statik]

Ayo, I rep the 518, upstate New York

Albany's point man when I begin to talk

I been in the front lines since '85

Rocking rhymes, killing raps

Written down, or off the top of the mind

From a culture abandoned, hip-hop flagship

Five-point citizen with PCM traffic

In a crew there always has to be the wack one

Know I am, Sev Statik, the first and last one


[Chorus: Playdough]

I saw the first and the last one too

Opened up the door, said I'll pass right through

But after you, cause humble stew

Keep me loving everybody how we 'spose to do

But after you, cause humble stew

Keep me loving everybody, show love everybody (body)

After you, cause humble stew

Keep me loving everybody how we 'spose to do


[Verse 4: Sivion]

Green or blue, take a double spoon of the humble stew

Cause I'm new and my crew carry suitcase for you

So initiation through but I'm still making dues

Deepspace5 emcee lose [?]

Give my microphone a boost

Never get respect in the booth

It's a wonder that I even have a clue

In a crew there always has to be the wack one

Know I am, Sivion, the first and last one


[Verse 5: Sintax.the.Terrific]

While they fiend for a champion ring, be little

When we scream at opposite extremes, be middle

Be little when everyone else is over-sized

Buying extra-strength products for new and improved vibes

Be little like a child stargazin' the sky

Or like a single sand bar bravin' an ocean of tide

In a crew there always has to be the wack one

Know I am, Sintax, the first and last one


[Verse 6: Listener]

I cut with an evil cleaver, not a reader, but a heater seeker

I'm an eager beaver, not a bleeder, but a leader needer

I'm a rapper and I've come to terms

You can give me a pound but don't give me no germs

I'ma do what it takes to swim in this lake

And wade around and say these nouns and get what I take (uh)

In a crew there always has to be the wack one

Know I am, Listener, the first and last one


[Chorus: Playdough & DJ Manwell]

I saw the first and the last one too

But after you, cause humble stew

After you, cause humble stew

Keep me loving everybody, show love everybody (body)

After you, cause humble stew

Keep me loving everybody how we 'spose to do


[Verse 7: Freddie Bruno]

I'm flippin' fables, waiting at the table, music is the hunger

Fred I wonder, what's that one thing that takes us under

It's probably our big mouth or our big talk

It don't match like pop stars that crip walk

Sketch chalk over that black top [?]

Overthink the link, flatten cakes and hip-hop

In a crew there always has to be the black one

Know I am, Fred B, the first and last one
