[Intro] Yo dont ask me who the best is yo I give you my top 5 Uh Doom, Thought, Em, Jay, Ghost Ya nam sayin? All them cats is the best b Yo this is not golf b This is artwork b You get biz like no other, you the best, aite? [Verse 1] Case in point, I aint make AKs rejoice I just came to case the joint Heres a pie in the face Inspire the faith I might turn water to wine, lemon to lime, pie into cake I know Tiger Crane, I know Wing Chun, Im never too tired to train I dont feel no thrill of the chase, I dont chase shit I just stay in my place and be patient Mets, Giants 86 Property of NY, PONYs and Sauconys, and Asics My whole team, all hoodlums and geishas We roll tight like goodness and gracious Streets haunted by the hustlers that died here The great beyond of woebegone youngsters with dyed hair Kings in the bible ordered babies cut in two Word mother, it aint nuthin new [Chorus x2] Arrows I whipped the wide, split the narrows Sipped wine with the pharaohs Traced the lies from the lips to the clips out the barrels I read the Times, took the tips, read the tarots [Verse 2] Im bout a billion years old Im like the winter day it graduate from chilly to cold Im a descendant of consenting adults Who traded in Jacksons and Washingtons for watts and volts Breakin bread, breakin even while Im eating alone You aint heard no heavy breathing while I was bleeding in stone All you felt was your pulse All you tasted was the sweetest victory and all you seen was results Smell me? I dont give two fornications, cant find a cage that done held me And dont harbor hate, it dont help me Its unhealthy All the worlds a stage, backstage I move around stealthy I hold down like gays hold down Chelsea I hold it down like dreads hold down Ls, like Fred hold down Elm Street Whoo [Chorus x2] [Verse 3] Meet at the summit if you can stomach the mileage Hate it or love it but if you hate it you wildin Hate it or love it but if you hate it you buggin like bugs that be needin pollen I crack a smile in the asylum And wield the gavel and the meeting of the minds, feeding the meter where the grass grow greener, speed reader of the eyes With a middle man cashing my checks Eating a boiled egg with a bomb strapped to my chest Whoo! Im all in your head Id like to thank my sponsors, monsters under the bed Most of shit that make you think Im on the humble the best, just some shit I mumbled under my breath Matter of fact I keep a sleeve thats full of aces til Im fakin my death And keep it rough around the edges stead of hedging my bets Cue the civil unrest Next!! [Outro] Yo kid Yo Red and Ghost was they duked it out for my for that fifth slot b Either could have made it yo You know Obviously Mos is top ten of 3 Stacks But this, you know, this is my joint, this is preference Cant all these cats is the best b You nam sayin? You know, Aesop Rock Cant nobody get biz like Aes or Nobodys better, nobodys better, nobodys better than these cats Yo somebody could do what you do, you whack b You straight up whack Youre either whack or you the best kid, theres no in between yo If you nice and nobody cant rock like you, you the best kid Otherwise find something else to do, with your life b Please, please
