You know what I mean?
You could put a label on a life
Put a label on a lifestyle. 
You know, put a label on how you wake up every morning
And go to bed at night. 
Ive been diggin into crates, ever since I was livin in space
Before the rat race, before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology and big bang theology
Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessin it
Chin-checkin kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic cords to double-helixes
And show them what Im made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast a spell of instrumental-ness on all of you MCs who hate us
So you can try on, leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity, let icons be bygones
I firebomb, ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats, but moved on to a promise
I stomp sh-, with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this
 This is the unforgettable sound
 Bringin you up and takin you down
 Comin at you from every side
 Makin the rhythm and rhyme collide
I put a kick in the backbones of clones with microphones
Never satisfy my rhyme jones
Sprayin bright day over what you might say
My blood types Krylon, Technicolor Type-A
On highways, bright with road rage
Pages of wind in cages of tin that bounce all around
 Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings, overall the same thing
Sing-song karaoke copy bull-
Break bones verbally with sticks-and-stone tactics
Fourth dimension combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention
Meant to put you away with a pencil pistol official
Sixteen-line, the rhyme missile
While you risk your all, I pick out all your flaws
Spittin rah blah blah blah, you can say you saw
 This is the unforgettable sound
 Bringin you up and takin you down
 Comin at you from every side
 Makin the rhythm and rhyme collide
 This is the unforgettable sound
 Bringin you up and takin you down
 Comin at you from every side
 Makin the rhythm and rhyme collide
And like the rock and rap, you know what I mean?
People actin like, you know, Wow, thats a new invention!
That sh- aint new
Were constantly evolving
It is constantly changing. 
Theres a lot of change
Everybodys always tryna to put labels on…
There aint no label for this shit
They always gonna try to put a label on it
Try to create somethin so they could water it down
Sometimes, I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood, under the gun like a new disease
Sometimes, I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood, under the gun like a new disease
 This is the unforgettable sound
 Bringin you up and takin you down
 Comin at you from every side
 Makin the rhythm and rhyme collide
 This is the unforgettable sound
 Bringin you up and takin you down
 Comin at you from every side
 Makin the rhythm and rhyme collide
 This is the unforgettable sound
 Bringin you up and takin you down
 Comin at you from every side
 Makin the rhythm and rhyme collide
 This is the unforgettable sound
 Bringin you up and takin you down
 Comin at you from every side
 Makin the rhythm and rhyme collide
You know what I mean?
You cant put a label on a lifestyle.
