[Intro]

It is indeed a pleasure

To see so many Nubian faces

So many original faces here tonight

[Jaz-O & Jay-Z]

Hey yo, what's up, Jay Z?

Yo, what's up, Jaz?

Ain't nothin', just chillin', you know

A lotta fronters out there perpetratin'

Tryin' to rock a old trippin' style, youknowmsayin?

We have none of that, alright?

Originators is here

Word up, let me kick a little somethin'

Word up

Guess you'll tune in later, right?

Yeah, but won't you

Kick, kick, kick it


[Verse 1: The Jaz]

My rhymin and singin technique is applaudable

Livin in luxury, and it's affordable

No other brother is better than me, the J, the A, the Z

The cream of the crop, and the top of the top

The suckers are tryin to stop

The biggeda-, the biggeda-, the boss of the hip-hop

Hop, they'll never come near

They'll never come here, no, not this year

They're growin' in fear, I'm very sincere, I will jerk tears

Operator pushin' the data, I'm talkin' 'bout info

And check it, you're still stumblin' and bumblin' off the intro

So take it a step at a time, this dope rhyme

Be makin' a note that it's refined by a skilled mind

This is a warning for biters

Stealers and robbers and sucker reciters

Call it a night, and before you roam

Don't try this at home

The style that I'm usin', I'm here to abuse

The garbage and junk I refuse

Divvy it up 'cause I'm here to collect my dues from all of yous

This ain't no cartoon drama caper, pass the paper

Your mind's in a daze, higher than a skyscraper

I'm teachin' and reachin' and preachin'

And showin' and flowin' and growin and blowin'

The rest of the best right out of the box

I shoot the funky sweat socks

I obliterate and I devastate

You wanna go head to head rhymin' until you fall dead?

Great, make it a date

Never a conflict or a debate, you're callin' me sir, see

You sucker, you fucker, you pussy, you wussy, nobody can verse me

The Jaz is pushin' the power, you two-bucks-an-hour

Unable, mentally unstable, to me you cower

You never can write a dope lyric to have an effect just like this did

To be at the peak in the field of hip-hop, you only wish, kid

And Jiggeda-Jay Zee, yo, yo, my partner

G-g-g-get on the mic, and cold start to


[Verse 2: JAY-Z]

Wreckin and wreckin' in seconds less than speeds of light

So the miggeda-more that come, the miggeda-merrier, right, right

Excitin the mic much to the delight of millions of Nubians

And Amorites just can't understand the groove we're in

Cool, it might take a couple of takes for you to clarify

Don't lie, you coulda never got in on the first try

But never to worry, I'm not in a hurry, take your time

Cause it's my rhyme, I siggeda-said so, and I'm J-A-Y-Z, y'all know me

I wish you co-write, 'cause you'd pay me all the rhymes you stole from me

Leave you freeze in a minute, you gotta get in it breathin

Only when it lets, no sweat, I stutter-step with ease, and

Stop fakin', you're makin' it, son

I'm breakin' and breakin' and breakin' your tongue

Don't get caught perpetratin' the cool ones

Figure we're bigger and badder and better, and baby, let's face it

We bring havoc, flowin' faster than rabbits, try to race it

The lyrical miracle writer, flippin until it drives you

Crazy, seek spiritual help from Jaz and Jay Z

Standin' in awe, you saw the best of em all, the rest will fall

Requestin' for more, jaws stuck on the floor

These lyrics I pour, we saw, because we're greater

And we are the thiggida-thiggida-thiggida-the (The) originators
