[Verse 1: Substantial]

Take that slap to your grill cause you're fake black

Your shit's 8-track

My rhymes rank next to A'That

On 24 tracks of 32 to murder you(uh-huh)

Lyrically it's spiritually with some superb rhyme-ability(word)

Make you hot enough to melt thermometers

My name is known for kilometers

For bombing you, let me tell you

I'm doper than drug paraphernalia

And down for whenever I represent through good or bad weather


[Verse 2: L-Universe]

I infiltrate your aura expand your mental span

With this rhyme scheme(what) the vigilante with the chat

Never the first or the last like American presidents having extramarital affairs

The aftermath of my verse landing will leave your house full of party gets abandoned

Make you stiff-necked, kids start dancing my syllabus

Illuminate crowds like filaments when I be lamping

[Chorus: Substantial + sample + L-Universe]

Substantial's the name, my man, don't forget it

("The ruggedness, lyrical terrorists")

Hydeout Pro., it's only the beginning

("The ruggedness, lyrical terrorists")

UV's my crew, my man, we coming with it

("The ruggedness, lyrical terrorists")

Minds consecrated, drop rhyme logistics

("The ruggedness, lyrical terrorists")


[Verse 3: Substantial]

My man you can't withstand the eviction of ill diction

Smack your ass into a world parallel to this one

Sober emcee iller than most cats older than me(uh-huh)

Won't stop till every household contains a poster of me(no doubt)

So who want it? No response, I guess most of them flee

Think you're doper than me? Don't make me choke an emcee

Those rhymes you kicked were garbage son, you're hardly a contender

Your delivery is wack so I gotta return to sender


[verse 4: L-Universe]

Forget the grapevines, I tell you how it is

Straight provacative emcees level cash we slipin' off like a moccasin

Maintain surveillance like inner-city delis

Remaining down low because Ghostwrote for many

Huh? What is the prob, yo? Your face lead red like Moscow flag

My rhymes chitty(bang) back through your city like a Countach Diablo

Kids think they saw me locked room not the devil the tapes that I give a demo

'Leashin' my similes give deep incisions

Concave chests result from broken hearts

Too many rappers be wishing, but don't get the formula

Accrue the true semantics and open 'em

First, second, third visuals see the rituals

The sacrificing of two emcees to photogenic wooden idols

Oh what a shame this industry

Maybe its time I get going my clothes dusty

[Chorus: Substantial + sample + L-Universe]

Substantial's the name, my man, don't forget it

("The ruggedness, lyrical terrorists")

Hydeout Pro., it's only the beginning

("The ruggedness, lyrical terrorists")

Dominion crew—the hot shit, we spit it

("The ruggedness, lyrical terrorists")

Minds consecrated, drop rhyme logistics

("The ruggedness, lyrical terrorists")


[Verse 5: Substantial]

Emcees get dismembered January through December

Spits raps until you see a black Klan member

Test not my chest shot damage your arteries(uhn)

Let my foot in your ass and you look like you're part of me(uh-huh)

Now follow me I mold motherfuckers like pottery

Smash ya into your plasma and staining the carpetry

Cause stopping me, It's easier winning the lottery

By now I hope you've gotten a point like archery

And before we blow, we remain on the low like middle names

I had to press for set I was bored with your little games

Cause I got something that's foreign to you, it's called skill(oooh)

In fact I'm ill enough to smack the black off of Seal(uh-huh)

And as if a holy war, your getting punished for your sins(uhn)

'Cause you ride my dick so much I look like Siamese twins

You've been declared wack by unanimous decision

Refrain from kicking raps till you're out of your division


[verse 6: L-Universe]

L-Universe hungry like thousand piranhas, far from a novice

With Nujabes as my accomplice

I inhale and exhale verbs(*inhale*), nouns(*inhale*), and adjectives(*inhale*)

Rhymes schemes and structures fill my chest cavity

Species of Pa pedigree lyrically I'm inspired

Spit fire verses my service is entire

I mark more pads than ladies who use Maxis

This international connection bridges synapsis

[Chorus: Substantial + sample + L-Universe]

Substantial's the name, my man, don't forget it

("The ruggedness, lyrical terrorists")

Hydeout Pro., it's only the beginning

("The ruggedness, lyrical terrorists")

I run with the plague, your wack crew's restricted

("The ruggedness, lyrical terrorists")

Minds consecrated, drop rhyme logistics

("The ruggedness, lyrical terrorists")
