"The name of the game is.."

Persistance, dedication
Consistant motivation, resistance to stagnation
of information, distributed free to the entire population
No hesitation in makin' it public
No privatization from corporations

Today in order to be sane you gotta go crazy but remain
on top of the game, and master your universe like you was He-Man

See me and Hi Tek knock you out de frame
while I'm stimulatin de brain
in de "Train of Thought" that's the name
of the Reflection Eternal LP, man!

Ain't nuttin new except organic produce, that means that's free range
You might see me on MTV, BET, or still up on the D-train

It's just everybody else be seemin' strange in they approach
I see these guys, I read they eyes
Need a disguise and so I cloak
into a cloud of smoke, I brown a roach
to keep myself from soundin loc'

Destroy they hopes of hatin'
An' don't move aboard before they rock the boat

Yo it's not the dope,
these snakes will come in peace to slit your throat
Give you compliments, with a promise yet
to get me heated and provoke me
to be rockin' shit, shove apocalypse
down your esophagus so swallow that

Guess what you could be coppin' at
N'kiru Books for fifteen dollars flat

Cats who spit knowledge on tracks
They get bumped out the back of Impalas and Cadillacs
All my live Cincinatti Bearcats holla back

Tomorrow they gonna wanna borrow raps like
"C'mon black, I'll pay you back"
I ain't no lyrical ATM even though I'm nice and I'm a mack

Better believe that, leave that crack alone
And you see that there microphone
ain't no place to work out your self-esteem issues
Do that shit when you alone!

Nigga you is grown, why is you still suckin on that pacifier
Quickly call that ass a liar, exposin' you's my last desire
Olympic skills so pass the fire
I roll with niggaz that match attire

Black aware, that's filled with gas
but rollin on, flat ass tires

Yeahehehe, yo hehehe, yo, yo.. yo yo
Yo I got a special guest
Lil' Baby Tone Tone, tell 'em what's up
{?indecipherable?} True
Yo we bout to be out, tell 'em peace out Tone
{Peace out} Yeah well whatever, so what?
{What?}
