[Intro: Malik B]

One-two, one-two, one-two, one-two

Check it, yeah, yeah


[Hook: Malik B]

If you seen it or heard it, maybe, probably I did it

Maybe or maybe not, I admit what I committed

Exhibit the truth because I'm livin' proof why

I had no disguise tryin' to vocalize


[Verse 1: Malik B]

Dig it

Look through the window, tell me what you see?

The M-Illatant school of philosophy

Where niggas get dealt wit' mental velocity

Connect my sentences and thoughts like apostrophes

You represent hypocrisy, it ain't no stoppin' me

Until I fulfill my term of my prophecy

My attitude is scarred by this inner-city urban

Iller dolo stress on my brain just like a turban

Who get grazed by the bullet? Triggers, who quick to pull it?

The anti-bullshitter, Islamic extortioner

You're the forfeiter unfortunately

Niggas who wanna gyp me

I cause humidity, so come and get me

I'm simply the cat to lay back, I chill and watch you

The silent ninja intends to injure, now I got you

Sanity was lost, so now I'm found insane

I'm thinkin' streets to Jeeps — hours, days to weeks

I even speak to geeks, I hold my fortune, it's sweet

I'm discreet in the streets, but that's just the way I play, though

I lay low, but over your head just like a halo

Hell's angel, these thoughts you cannot untangle

When I drop jewels, niggas, they wear it like a bangle

Check it out, one time for your mind like that!


[Hook x2: Malik B]

If you seen it or heard it, maybe, probably I did it

Maybe or maybe not, I admit what I committed

Exhibit the truth because I'm livin' proof why

I had no disguise, no verdicts, no alibis


[Verse 2: Black Thought]

Dig it

Look into the window, tell me what you see?

Lieutenant university of philosophy

Where you not possibly escapin' what I'm meditatin'

My shackle of thought tackle you while I'm educatin'

Your dome resonatin' from inhalation of darkness

As I spark the smart shit for which you’re waitin'

Situatin' me at the top of the pile

Wild Delaware Val', Pennsylvanian sub-terranean style

Step up into my crevice and taste the medicine of the

Champagne King like Evelyn, leavin' you leveled and sabotaged

It's all camouflaged like the devil and guns

And coke peddlin', Olympic meddlin' flashback

That of a war veteran blast at

The programmer bringin' lashes 'cross your back

On some accuracy of a brainwashed Bosnian troop

That swooped down through your roof without sound

On a lyrical Nat Turner mission, reactin' off of intuition

Continuously alert, no intermission

If your ears hurt, you shouldn't listen

That mean you artificial, and my style'll poison your brain tissue

Gettin' maimed and crippled once the gamma rays hit you

My grain's habitual, and I should never go against

The ritual I've been masterin' ever since

I was among the flavored youth, remain sharper than a saber tooth

My deliverance is self-evidence

Vit-al lyric-al science, now!


[Hook: Malik B]

See, if you seen it or heard it, maybe, probably I did it

Maybe or maybe not, I admit what I committed

Exhibit the truth because I'm livin' proof why

I had no disguise, no verdicts, no alibi

If you seen it or heard it, maybe, probably I did it

Maybe or maybe not, I admit what I committed

Exhibit the truth because I'm livin' proof why

I had no disguise tryin' to vocalize, yeah


[Verse 3: Black Thought]

Yo, who knows what you snorted?

Or who support what you recorded?

But don't get it distorted, in this orbit you're aborted

This authentic, sorted shit's imported, exported

Styles, they get sported, my paragraphs’ aortic

Behold, the illest medley lock you in a choke hold

Illadelph epilogue — top league, plush, plus en vogue

Slice tongues from your area code

Student of life that's on the rugged-exterior mode

Blind a devil with the bold, black and gold shine

I walk the thin line and hold mine, let the people respond

It's mind detect mind, swine decline, let the power refine

Build like it's 1999

In this day and time, the reptilian roam the sextillion ton

Your Armageddon gwan come from the sun

Untouchable cuts that's unclutchable for some to overstand

So y'all sit back and wonder, "Damn!"

I'd like to take this time to tell you who I am

Original man, Black Thought A.K.A. Lieutenant

Malik B.'ll be the M-Illatant

Known to vanish in the atmosphere, we up there like the stratos

Word life!


[Hook: Malik B]

If you seen it or heard it, maybe, probably I did it

Maybe or maybe not, I admit what I committed

Exhibit the truth because I'm livin' proof why

I had no disguise, and no alibi

So, if you seen it or heard it, maybe, probably I did it

Maybe or maybe not, I admit what I committed

Exhibit the truth because I'm livin' proof why

I had no disguise tryin' to vocalize, we got no alibi
