Kelly fuckers That's the best beat that he ever sang on period Who's sayin' you ain't the truth? Rap ain't hearin' it Little Brother told me, check M.O.P Busta Rhymes said Doc Dre and X to the Z Is all students of bass lines, spittin' over history In present day time, nobody got the fire like you Beat battles, you against the whole crew It's like Superman goin' against Care Bear Blue Tryin' to be like you But I ain't got the productivity Snares are like a gun, your snares are electricity Shockin' any Fruity Loop, Logic shut down Akai's are paralyzed when raw is in town I'm a fan my nigga!

It's Phontigga, let me rep you real quick Cause I've been checkin' for you every since Like '98 with +Extinction Level Event+ The way that +Everybody Rise+ used to set off the disc Had everybody thinkin' this is how the shit should be Cause we ain't nod our heads, we shook our heads in disbelief [Big Pooh]: And so when youngins think you're new to the beats I run your catalog Real live in stereo, no analog The blueprint if you're tryin' to use the ASR You know you better than the rest cause they ain't up to par [Phonte]: And you can call me +Barry Bonds+, yep here's another hit Plus you put it down on that +Life Of The Party+ shit A pleasure and an honor to record on it Got these beat makers thinkin' "Why the fuck I never thought of this?"
