[Verse 1: Jaysonic and Comel 15]


[Jaysonic]

You can’t spell “embarrassment” without “bare ass,” so if

You’re looking for bear ass, then follow bear tracks


[Comel 15]

And you

Can’t spell “acupuncture” without “punk.” Punks

Are on pins and needles, acting up when they’re drunk


[Jaysonic]

You know you

Can’t spell “obituary” without “bitch,” ‘cause ain’t it

A bitch how life so suddenly switch?


[Comel 15]

Well, you

Can’t spell “fashion” without “ash.” Go shop-

-ping and burn right through all of your cash


[Jaysonic]

Yo, you

Can’t spell “crucial” without “crew.” When shit

Gets thick, make sure your crew’ll look out for you


[Comel 15]

And you

Can’t spell “Escalade” without “laid.” You’re more

Likely to ass if you’re flossing you’re paid


[Jaysonic]

Man, you

Can’t spell “hotel” without “ho,” so if you

Got yourself a ho, you know where to go


[Comel 15]

Well, you

Can’t spell “parental” without “rent,” so don’t move

Out of the house ‘til you got dollars and cents


[Jaysonic]

You can’t

Spell “responsibility” without “bill.” Before you

Use that credit card, make sure you got enough skrill


[Comel 15]

You know you

Can’t spell “graduate” without “ate.” With a

PhD, after that, you got shrimp on your plate


[Jaysonic]

And you

Can’t spell “condom” without “dumb.” Ain’t nothing

Dumber than a one-night stand without using one


[Comel 15]

Ayyo, you

Can’t spell “cupid” without “cup.” Before you

Drink that love potion, better sign a prenup


[Interlude 1: Special K (of Awesome 2)]

OK, OK, fellas, that was real cool and everything, but I think you can do much better. Aight? I mean, just really make it happen for me this time around. You fellas got the crazy beats and the hot rhyme skills, and the feel is taking me back to the early 90s, when hip hop was pure and fun. This is the Awesome 2’s Emcee Spelling Bee, man. You got to step up and show and prove. Come on


[Verse 2: Comel 15 and Jaysonic]


[Comel 15]

You can’t spell “heroine” without “hero.” Heroes

Pick up bad habits, quickly turn to zeroes


[Jaysonic]

You can’t spell “disappearance” without “ear.” You get

Old, your sight goes, then you cannot hear


[Comel 15]

And you

Can’t spell “America” without “Eric.” That’s my

Government name. Now that you know it, forget it


[Jaysonic]

Well, you

Can’t spell “maniac” without “man.” Some men

Lose their mind and never find it again


[Comel 15]

You can’t spell “sultry” without “try,” so don’t

Try so hard, love, ‘cause you caught my eye


[Jaysonic]

Yo, you

Can’t spell “reminder” without “mind.” Don’t

Mind me. I’m just a bit forgetful sometimes


[Comel 15]

And you

Can’t spell “cooking” without “king.” I’ll make

A meal for you girl and turn her into my queen


[Jaysonic]

You can’t spell “promiscuous” without “promise.” Get caught

Cheating and your girl leaves, don’t be astonished


[Comel 15]

Yo, you

Can’t spell “economy” without “con.” Don’t get

Conned into donation to that telethon


[Jaysonic]

You know you

Can’t spell “reservation” without “serve.” You better

Show up on time for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres


[Comel 15]

You can’t spell “Marriot” without “riot.” A hundred

Bucks for room service? Comel won’t be quiet

Had a good time ‘cause now your life is done
