[Light faded voice of Black Thought]

Cause when I put rhymes in they minds yo

For all y'all folks who were hopin and wishin

and I can assault, tryin'a take my position

Stop wishin, and sit yourself back and listen to

A'yo, cause when I put rhymes in they minds yo

For all y'all folks who were hopin and wishin

and I can assault, tryin'a take my position

Stop wishin, and sit your ass back



[Chorus: Black Thought]

A'yo when I say pump that, y'all say shit up

Pump that! (Shit up)

Pump that! (Shit up)

When I say stand up, y'all say get up

Stand up! (Get Up)

Stand up! (Get Up)

When I say rise up, y'all say now

Rise up! (Now)

Rise up! (Now)

When I say lick a shot, say blaow

Lick a shot! (blaow)

Lick a shot! (blaow)



[Verse 1: Black Thought]

A'yo everybody on they jawns

Cartoons is hardcore porn

It ain't no afterschool paper routes and mowin lawns

Kids got backpacks full of yayo and heron

Coming to school shootin up the auditorium

Yo its anthrax maniacs on the TV

The least of y'all worries should be Thought's cd

The chairman of the board coppin twice weekly

They done caught the minister with a pork b.l.t.

If my shit ain't hot, it probly try to drive me

Psyhce, its somethin I can never let myself see

Can't see, I'm thorough-bread, nothin fancy

The maker, no matter what the circumstance be

Its the principle, pillowcase full of nickel

Smacked like I'm (??), leave him crippled

Keep talkin greasey I'ma big lip you

A'yo your man'll can get slid with you

You and the squad takin to galoshes

I hold the engineer for hostage

and spit from a dirty cartridge

Its L for whoever try to front on Thought's shit-a
