How many times have I told you to just fuckin' quit it?
when you rap it sounds like your mouth musta just shitted.
I've been pitted against bigger foes in my sleep, &
counted their failures like Bo's little sheep.
I suppose you will weep when I do the same to you,
no sympathy here, even laugh while ya boo-hoo.
You're cute like a tutu so not much of a threat,
it would be quite the joke if you were as tough as they get.
I'm not Boba Fett, my incentive isn't bounty,
it's skill & prestige; a bit like a Mountie.
This bullshit around me has got me so thinkin',
the best thing for you to do is just to stop stinkin'.
I put a kink in your plans (you deserve it) dumb bastard,
ensuring your destruction will certainly come faster.
I've mastered techniques you only wish to comprehend,
stick around a bit longer cuz this is not the end.
[chorus]
One of us has to go & i'm, pretty sure that it's you, we
don't really get along & it's all your fault.
One of us needs to leave & I'm thinkin' it should be you, we
don't seem to get along & it's not my fault.
I wanna be friends but I sorta find it difficult
can't be seen in public with you since your rhymes are kinda pitiful
If you hate bein ridiculed don't say things too stupid
from now on you should try the opposite of what you did
Maybe you're a new kid, so I'll cut you some slack
there's still time to leave & never come back.
Cuz you smell like bum-crack (what?) I'm speakin the truth
don't you know all this wack shit has weakened the youth?
You're meek & uncouth with a limited vocab
practice won't help you & you're a little bit 'o' drab
Isn't is so sad? I mean your skill as a rapper
yo' mama even apologized & I still had to slap her
The crapper's the place where your shit belongs
I got more style in one bar than you have in fifty songs
Don't get me wrong, sir I'm glad that you tried
need I remind you I wouldn't be sad if you died?
[bridge]-
you should know its within my power
maybe you should know, i can end you now
[chorus]
I'm mad that you lied & claimed to be amazin'
but your thinkin's too small got a brain like a raisin
I aim at your face and, fire some verses,
leavin' you so hurt you'll have to hire some nurses
You versus me, well that sounds a bit unfair
cuz you wouldn't even last 1 round if you dared
You're bound to get scared can't say that I blame you
cuz anyone who goes up against Jay will be shamed too. When you
came through the door I could tell you were no match for me
& that this encounter would end in catastrophe
Actually, silence will be heard,
then you'll slink away embarassed & finally deterred
I'd almost have preferred you beggin' my forgiveness
having tested my patience & gettin in my business
But you'll be givin' this thought as the rhymes that unfold
help you to become one of the minds that I mold
[bridge, chorus]
One of us has to go & I'm bettin that it'll be you today
we don't really get along & it's, probably all your fault again
One of us needs to leave & I'm hopin' it's gonna be you right now
we just never got along it's never my fault
[backup]
One of us has to go, one of us needs to leave,
we never got along....

Sun Come Out

-CHORUS-
When I wake up will the sun come out?
I can't open my eyes I got things to think about
And don't be worried if you see me on the ground
I'm just layin' here waitin' for the sun to come around
____________________________________________________
I don't remember anything from before I was born &
that moment on this new story took form
It mighta been different, too late, what if
time is just at our fingertips for us to shift?
And the best gift is this present state
but I'm too concerned with the future to let it wait
Shortcuts will be accepted the moment they are offered
....... so I never prospered
Only now it happens to be the circumstances
when I was a kid I prob'ly took too many chances
It's a mystery how I stayed alive
all the times I could have taken the last dive
Off the map & into the deep black
careless instances can't even keep track
No time for fear got fun to be havin'
it all becomes clear & the clues begin addin'
OH, how the anger fueled when detractors were laughin' at me
spendin' more time with the rhymes I been craftin'
Of everything tried should I have done better?
didn't like the moniker changed it to 1 letter
Seems the best fit, yea, of course it does
got some info straight from the source as it was
Lucky if my peers were available or conscious
demands were too high so they failed in responses
Could it have been that simple? Afraid not,
made a matchin' connection & forever stayed caught
Pay a penny for a thought I could be a rich man
& I bought so many lies now I need to switch plans
[chorus]
So easy to look back now & reminisce
'bout those days gone past that weren't quite like this
What do you miss most besides your youth?
I wouldn't mind goin' back again to hide from the truth
Since then afterthoughts have long evaporated
if they were so important you shoulda stayed dedicated
Just try not to let it bother you too much
there's always a mic around for you to clutch
I made a silent promise to never leave the premises
& once I get up I won't be fallin' off the precipice
Stick to my guns & refuse to comply
with the so-called words that you heard from the sky
Takin' issue with the way that I conduct my biz then?
stop bein' so afraid to buck the system
You can choose not to listen I don't get offended
sorry man but ya life won't be extended
Music's all I need to stay immortal
handling things differently nobody would say I'm normal
A tad bit stubborn on many an occasion,
got no time to hear ya tryin'a say that I'm impatient
It's pretty perfect on a scale of 1 to Zero
if you only heard half of what's been done to ya hero
Wishin' I knew why it's almost cost an arm
but I've had it up to my neck & it's lost its charm
[chorus]
This feelin' right now is all too familiar,
that the idea of success is gettin' sillier
The doors never quite opened for me sesame,
worryin' often it would eventually get the best of me
I had rhymes needed music & a backbeat
didn't have the means so it had to take a backseat
No such things as crews in my town
I'm certain I was the only rap loser around
Look at us now, seperated by decades
can't recall it all back away & the speck fades
And any mess made's another lesson learned
that's the only positive thing about gettin' burned
I saw the blackened air then it gave me perspective
the options led me to my original objective
No regrets yet, & no apologies
fuck mumblin' I'm humble I wanna put us all at ease
[chorus x2]

Oh finger snap! can you imagine I'm back,
the feeling of that can be sweet as Sugar Smacks
I've caught some flack & maybe been called a hack, but I've
only just started to get my shit unpacked
What do you think of that I'm not a sad sack,
even accuse myself of gettin' off track
I'm used to the fact that some think that I'm whack, & I
never hold back but who really does that?
Don't believe for one second these raps will be slacked,
unless I retract & collapse in the sack, So you
better take it back cuz these rhyme are always packed, with a
lotta tact I have an impact I'm not attractive
HHHUUUhhhh! Almost had a panic attack,
pace yourself Jack or I'll blow my smokestack
Why don't you got lay down for a nap, put the
room pitch black & get the rest that you lack
If I shine too bright get some shades & a cap,
even if it's one of those ones with earflaps
-& don't forget to buckle up your chin strap,
you wouldn't wanna lose it when I slap you like clack!
Tryin' to avoid confrontations & scraps, I'm
much better with negotiations exact
Should you need further explanation I'll recap, but
verbal repetition is like ipecac
A dork with a knack for bein' a little abstract,
spend a lotta time sittin' at the computer bad back
Always fuckin' with apps that are hacked or cracked,
but when I get the money I'll be makin' up the gap
Takin' cd's & extractin' the tracks, makin
MP3's, wave files or even Flacs
-Letter 10 never gonna fall flat, got
too much to do to even give you the stats
Comin to the point where I'll have to evac,
cuz I can't keep stickin around like tree sap so
Get yourselves ready to start the hand-clap cuz
this whole act comes to an end with a snap.
.....& that's a wrap.
