[Intro: Sample]

"30 seconds to respond—"

"30 seconds to respond with our anti-ballistic missile"

[Verse 1: Ced-Gee & Kool Keith]

Say what yea now ease back to the rear

You hear eardrums drown, the bass pound

Real stupid, we didn't loop this

Nor did we scoop it, instead that we rock it

While ducks jock this

Biting and writing and fighting for this

Beats and wax, rhymes are facts

Biting acts

How we did it, for this one, that one

Biters around, check out the sound

In town, to the rhythm that we give 'em

In fact you lack (Ultramagnetic) skills

'Cause your record's no frills

Here's your bill now ease back


[Chorus: Ced-Gee & Kool Keith]

Ease back

Ease back

Ease back

(scratching: Kool Keith! Kool Keith!)


[Verse 2: Kool Keith]

I'm back, back to smack attack

Those who wack and lack my experience

On the microphone holding my own ground

Dominating forces

Change the sources, punks takes losses

Enough 'cause it's me on the mic

Feeding on words, smart like a nerd

Haven't you heard this change of rhyme

Continuing the land of time

For my incredible, highly elevated

Smooth in the mind, more sophisticated

Motivated, as I relate it verbal

Dissing a mouse and smacking any gerbil

I bought a Saab, a 1990 Turbo

Shining, fog lights in the front

I'm by myself, no seats for a stunt

'Cause I want it like that, I got it like that

I have it like that, I need it like that

It's better like that, I made it like that

I bought it like that, I'm living like that

For you wack MC's

Who go on the mic and blow on the mic

And perpetrate frauds and making mistakes

Like an amateur but I'm a 20 year veteran

And better than, including the rest of them

I chew 'em all and spit out the best of them

One by one, I'm teaching my son to ease back


[Chorus: Ced-Gee & Kool Keith]

Ease back

(scratching: Ced-Gee!, Ced-Gee!)


[Verse 3: Ced-Gee]

What's up, it's me again

I'm Ced Gee wit a funky blend

Of beats and rhymes on time with my DJ

He's not weak with anything he plays

Rocking, slicing, rep is treacherous

Like a professor, he had perfected this

Simple potion, through devotion

With his blends, his motions and fastly approaching

Coasting, reaching higher levels

So when you see 'em, you best say hello

I'ma take out a knife, pen and paper and write

A rhyme so dope you can't think, can't cope

Ducks, who are you really kidding

You say you're dope, well you're admitting

That you can't compete because your rhymes are weak

Full of more nonsense, past tense, incomplete

Weep and learn a new rap style

From Ced Gee, the wizard of know how

An innovation, elevation, psyching the nation

When I ease back

Ease back


[Chorus: Ced-Gee & Kool Keith]

Ease back

(scratching: Moe Love! Moe Love! Moe Love! Moe Love!)

[Outro: Ced-Gee & Kool Keith]

Word up it's time to ease back, you know what i'm sayin'

Word up

Ain't that somethin', I'm the best MC in the whole wide world

Word up, yo I know what you sayin'

Yo, Paul C, turn the bass down man, it's damaging my ear canal

Suckas!

Better yet man, keep it how it is

Yo, TR, grab the nine, we outta here

Ease back!
