Letter 10 gonna show you how I rock the spot
& leave my mark on Hip Hop so I'm not forgot
might come as a shock when I mock a little snot
so listen quick cuz I talk a lot
Got plenty complaints that need to be shared
now many of these saints ain't got a fuckin' prayer
I'm everywhere in ya thoughts, any place you can find,
on the tip o ya tongue, in the back o ya mind
Confined to a space studio like a cell
at least I can say what I need to say well
No soul to sell but expect no freebies
fuck the cd's get my mp3's
Hit a show to see me, now we're talkin
afraid to come in, keep the cowards walkin'
If you don't know where to find me when you arrive
I'll be the one on the stage gettin' the whole place live

-CHORUS-
Keep ya eyes on me, look I'm visible
Do you spy an MC, in the front with the crowd in peripheral
-----------------------------------------------
Now you can see how I work the place
play it serious but still I got a smirk on my face
Cats hangin' in the back like to lurk & the bass
in my voice is just another quirk you embrace
The music pulls you in like a lasso
& my beats are fatter than Will Sasso
Thas'so dead-on I'm pinpoint accurate
I don't need a hit just somethin' to smack you wit
Tried & true, tested & confirmed
no lyin' when I say the best can get burned
I've earned my title 'resident mc'
the name is vital, Letter 10, that's me
Who's gonna be there to inherit the mic
on their own merits & not parrots alike
From here I got a wider field of view
a bit surreal with clues that are revealed askew
__________
-CHORUS-

Everyone watch me get back in my stance
kinda difficult to hold off attackin' with rants
I wanna see more of the good folk castin' a glance
while I make other MC's crap in their pants
Yes the kids are more easily impressed
but the veterans expect nothin' less than the best
I don't hate for the rhymes that some have chose
play it too many times it might come to blows
They never act up, they know the difference
back up, make room while I go the distance
I hard to find cats genuinely skilled
take the stage if you not then you can be killed
It's been noted you're a bit confused
that I'm keepin' it simple & stickin' with the 1,2'a
but if it isn't spelled out, t's crossed & dot
the i's, a few will get lost in the plot
They prob'ly wouldn't get the joke
& you sure as hell prob'ly shouldn't have let me spoke
And if I die where I stand with the mic in my hand
then you'll witness exactly how I had it planned
