[Madlib]

I bet y'all really don't know nothing 'bout this

Straight from the West, we the C.D.P. area

Declaime on the mic stand to bury ya

Brotha's taking care of ya

We gonna hit it off like this

Declaime hittin' off like this

[Declaime]

I'm sharp wit' it

Shatterin' sharp tongue simple minded snake type niggas

Since I ascend up and above the law

My swarm is the flowerest

When I descend all the way through the under lands

Excavating couldn't trace it

Selling everyday defacing wack on the way

9-0-2-1-hoes are not needed

Challengers all get seated

When I enter this arena made for lyrical attack

Just made a style sword made of facts

Death to the one who lacks and know how to attract

Hard earned respect

I shall keep all who oppose

I will keep them in check

[Madlib]

Dee hittin' off wit that Illminded rap like this

[Declaime]

I stands clear out the way of the industry's phonies

If they let me peep, just walk if they show me

I bring a cease to a bad situation

Beyond belief, I'm here to teach

Lessons to the weak

Not talking finer arts, but higher arts

I must run laps

At my peak, my apex allows me to seek

All who envy's me

If ya blind, I'll make ya see my point of view

For the few of you who thought that they could get through

Declaime's here to teach you

Not how to west a rhyme

With space age lines

Or complicated rhymes 'cause I want y'all to see

When I coming

So you know that I ain't running away

Trying to seek a safe shelter from this lyrical attack

Never will get wack

Skills I never lack

[Declaime]

Let's all gather and have a laugh

At the ones in the past that fell off getting ass

Let's have a laugh with the real

That set the standards and showed all the deal

Every rapper has his mother's clear, only a few have a year

Speak ably unique, I'm in my own atmosphere

Uplift to get the rhyme with no rehearsal

I hurt those ones with the no flow

Declaime is here again, you better tell a friend

Wit' my eyes closed, I still can defend

My position unmovable because of irrigation

I do it with the mic and no TEC

Until you fall back
