[Verse 1]

A million no-names sit somewhere below Lame

There's no plane, they flying under my radar

Stealth as they may be, I'm on point mane

You could get your hate on, but if you hate me

It's cause the same level, we ain't on

I'm white, but I'd rather get my N.W.A on

Than my triple K on (I ain't talking marathons)

See what I'm saying, dawg? And I don't keep the AK drawn

Cause I don't got no sketch bad, I just keep it scripted

And filed through the memory banks

To be revealed later like thе diary of Ms. Frank

And it's something you could feel, when what they firing is blanks

This is round aftеr round to your noggin'

It'll take you down like the boggins

Least on your way down the sound'll be knocking

(I eat the competition) Anthony Hopkins

I'm on a mission where anything's possible

Coming to you live from Apollo's cockpit

[Hook: IAME + DJ Spark scratches]

I'm taking off in a ship

You take it off like a stripper, but they ain't offer you shit

And what you got in the clip

Ain't no match for what I got in the zip file

(This is raw data) You don't want it unzipped

(Like an outbreak's loose) You don't want it unzipped

(Like a diseased prostitute) You don't want it unzipped

(Okay, I'm just being stupid) But you don't want it unzipped

You want it contained

Trust me, you don't want it with Lame

(Know what I'm saying)

You don't want it with Lame

(Know what I mean)

You ain't fucking with IAME


[Verse 2]

I'ma blow the fuck up like BP and Halliburton

On the gulf coast, who wants to meet me for some oil surfing?

(Yea, I got jokes)

But there's truth in 'em and so they hurtin'

But for real, fuck entertaining you, this is holy work

When it's not fully working you ain't running from the wrath of God

Yea, wait 'til it's coming straight at you like Avatar did

3D without the glasses on looking retarded

But this is no blockbuster

This is life on the block, busted

Without a James Cameron-sized budget

This the Hurt Locker, step inside, cousin

First grow a set of balls

This your Call of Duty, but not on XBox

And it's not a desk job, we out here, field work (Day and night)

Where everyone with a vision thinks they're Spielberg

(Yea, right)

But I'm on that Darren Aronofsky, barely here at all, but see

There's something big behind the smoke and mirrors, let's air it out

Breathe

[Hook: IAME + DJ Spark scratches]

I'm taking off in a ship

You take it off like a stripper, but they ain't offer you shit

And what you got in the clip

Ain't no match for what I got in the zip file

(This is raw data) You don't want it unzipped

(Like your backpack by the police) You don't want it unzipped

(Like your jacket when it's below freezing) You don't want it unzipped

(Or for any other good reason) But you don't want it unzipped

You want it contained

Trust me, you don't want it with Lame

(Know what I'm saying)

You don't want it with Lame

(Know what I mean)

You ain't fucking with IAME


[Verse 3]

Where my fans at?

A select few leave the venue covered in hazmat

I'll rep true and make a mess of what the rest misuse

So they can't no more and they on stage all confused

Cause all they have is a cord attached to nothing

What's a puppet to do?

Don't let them plug into you they will try to

Drain your energy with their bravado

Don't let them steal the show, you paid your admission

They think they're the shit, but that ain't the case now, is it?

They say they the best, but Lame's your best bet

They get around like a vest, but meanwhile I Jet Set

Up in the air like Clooney, the altitude getting to me

But I'm on autopilot flying where God tell me

The wings are man-made, but the noise is Heaven sent

You can hide from the light, but you can't avoid the end of it

So which side are you on? You think it's simple, but it isn't, though

It's a faint line already and it's soon to be invisible

[Hook: IAME + DJ Spark scratches]

I'm taking off in a ship

You take it off like a stripper, but they ain't offer you shit

And what you got in the clip

Ain't no match for what I got in the zip file

(This is raw data) You don't want it unzipped

(Like it's time to piss in a cup) You don't want it unzipped

(Like your dick's in your zipper, stuck) You don't want it unzipped

(Yea, I don't give a fuck) But you don't want it unzipped

You want it contained

Trust me, you don't want it with Lame

(Know what I'm saying)

(Know what I mean)
