[Intro: O.C. + Yvette Michele]

Uh

Yeah

Mmmm

Phenomenon

Yeah

Ohhh, yeah

Baby, far from yours

Ohhh, yeah


[Verse 1: O.C.]

Yo, time is most limited, I'm back on the scene

O replenishes potency like four or five Guinnesses

Hennessy's flourishing, O.C. is nourishing

Performing miracles, ill and mad lyrical

What stands before your very eyes is a

One-man, stand-alone phenomenon

Microphone misery you're suffering, taste my repertoire

In your face like a buck-fifty done with the razor

I'm felt by Aztecs, felt by Asians

Portuguese, Lebanese, and even Caucasians

Every form of power, they respect my stats

Slapping five with foreign leader, drink Cognac with diplomat

Retard your whole brigade, cave in your brain waves

(With subliminal messages) Making party people slaves

You hit reverse to rewind and defy my cause

("One thing I do is keep 'em different and far from yours")


[Chorus: Yvette Michele]

He's no average MC

With a smile on his face

Though you try to bite his style

No one can duplicate


[Verse 2: O.C.]

I be the Chosen One beyond the Moët and the Cristal

The son of king and a queen

Therefore, ability for song run in my genetics

I gave ideas to L. Ron Hubbard to write books on Dianetics

FedEx your info

If you wanna show the manager Mr. Dave

Make sure give us a good Payday too

I was assigned to Earth on a mission

To spread worldwide my glorious compositions

Notes are like B-sharps floatin'

Out of my mouth from start to finish 'til the song diminish

My lyrical energy bring out envy in most MCs

Who listen to O, you didn't know me before?

Then you know who I are now

Biting my style? That's a crime to be dealt with when we take it to trial

Verdict is in, the judge know my beef has cause

("One thing I do is keep 'em different and far from yours")


[Chorus: Yvette Michele]

He's no average MC

With a smile on his face

And though you try to bite his style

No one can duplicate

He can flow any way you want

He can rhyme any time you say

And he's never, ever, ever too far

From tomorrow, today


[Verse 3: O.C.]

You may never find an MC well-orchestrated like a symphony

Some will go down in history, some in infamy

The end-for-me will be somewhat a mystery

As long as my name O.C. live on through infinity

My identity will ring bells in all vicinities

From fans to enemies, I'm the antidote and remedy

I'ma philosophize, analyze, no question

If I die, I'ma return like Jesus' resurrection

I'm a blessing to the rap game

My claim to fame is when I disappear and reappear

I put rappers to shame, plain and simple

In common English, what I distinguish

The meanest lyric flamethrower, your career's over

Finesse a mic, Casanova, Don Juan, an MC

The people need a change, this rap shit is deranged

Yo, Raida, flip the fader, let 'em know my cause

("One thing I do is keep 'em different and far from yours")


[Chorus: Yvette Michele]

He's no average MC

With a smile on his face

And though you try to bite his style

No one can duplicate

He can flow any way you want

He can rhyme any time you say

And he's never, ever, ever too far

From tomorrow, today

He's no average MC

With a smile on his face

And though you try to bite his style

No one can duplicate

He can flow any way you want

He can rhyme any time you say

And he's never, ever, ever too far

From tomorrow, today


[Outro: Yvette Michele]

Never too far

Never…
