[Hook: Black Thought] I shall proceed And continue to rock the mic [Verse 1: Black Thought] Just think, what if you could just, just blink yourself away? Just think, what if you could just, just blink yourself away? Jeff X can rock the mic with tooth decay I be the 5 foot 7, residing at the Mecca, rest address in south section Used to cut class in the infinite pursuit of ass Back in eighty-six Easy with the chicks, I was a chocolate boy Raised in the cellar with the rhythm like Ella Walking mega-trife streets to the subway where I lay Til the train stop, then a nigga hop Used to do the pop dance to the Planet Rock At the block party everybody jocked [who me?] It's the MC sucka niggas envy I got my contract in 1993 and I shall proceed [Hook] [Verse 2: Black Thought] I wake up early in the morning, I mean early afternoon Break a lyrical hymn of the stem like boom I'm flyer when I'm higher put my shit up on a tomb That nigga represented on the 28th of June I'm representing Philly on the 28th of June I can make you feel that I'm a surreal cartoon With my pistol in the face of hip hop, stick it for papes Because I'm on a paper chase, yes I'm on a paper chase My Timberlands are fully laced I be the Mr. Boogeyman With records from 125th to Japan I let them play like Donny Hathaway and shake a hand, shake a hand Your lady tried to kick it, but I couldn't play my man My niggas is my niggas ya see she didn't understand I shake your hand and shit'll hit the fan, just think Just think, what? What if you could, just blink, what? Just blink yourself away?
