(Chorus --Moe)

Party people, that's really in this rap game/
We bout to put you up on game on what's happening/
Rationale won't you tell them today/
(Rationale)Yeah, hip hop is real, we need to keep it that way!

Yo, you know me, ya favorite white guy that raps/
I only, grab the mic and rhyme with facts/
And homey, there's a few I'd like to cap/
But yo B, honestly, I'm not a violent cat/
I'm known for dissin, and rippin, and pissin off the competition/
Just being the best I can be, because I'm on a mission/
So many spittin and kickin, about what they grippin/
What they sippin and hittin, though they know they bullshittin/
Man listen, this might just be soley sentiment (what?)/
But most of what you hear on the air is excrement (yeah!)/
We comin harder than the old testament/
And get it right the first time cause it's how we represent/
We ain't druggin, gunnin, or thuggin it, we have fun with it/
Still keep the shit locked down like the government/
Keep all the heads old and new aghast in wonderment/
And do everything simply for the love it, so...

(Chorus)

Yo, these are fresh thought patterns, not just new rhymes/
Cause my style's dynamic it's not just cool lines/
Other's do their way, huh, I'm gonna do mine/
And my plan'll be accomplished all in due time/
Lookin at the next decisions/
I'm on my own level, so success for you and me will be different definitions/
Whether it be a day or a year, I'll perfect my vision (yeah!)/
And get the spirits movin like an exorcism/
I have no doubt/
That every person on my team'll be ready to roll out when shit goes south/
So watch yo mouth/
Cause there's a good chance we'll have to drop by and quickly squash the shit at yo house/
I told you the bottom line when I said I'd rip it/
That's why I suggest you get a copy of metaphysiks/
I speak in simple terms, so if I'm repetitious (ha!)/
That simply means that I don't think you'll ever get it!

(Chorus)

Yo this right here is more than a profession of expression/
Sometimes rhyme sessions help to answer life's questions/
And when the situation's not workin and I'm stressin/
I (arrr!)(*inhale) take a breather for five seconds/
Ayo, these days I work the boards and let the beats play/
Choppin and mixin, but no I'm not a DJ/
I write til my brains numb with the track on replay/
Formulating interesting points and then I relay/
I'm always rappin because this is my passion/
Every single day, it's action without actin/
Others stayin busy with gettin trashed and smashin/
I handle my matters and moves in a proper fashion/
It's what I know well, and Well, I know it's right/
It's my conviction and dream and so I hold it tight/
I'm puttin work in even when I don't hold a mic (what?)/
Because you can't magically succeed overnight!

(Chorus)
