[Intro: Akrobatik]
Yo, yo
[Hook 1: Akrobatik and (Samples with Scratches by DJ Sense)]
Now if you loving hip hop, say, “Yes” ("Yes, yes”)
And if you feeling hip hop, say, “Word” (“Say, ‘Word’")
Say, “Word,” if you love it when a nigga grab the mic
And kick some shit that you was glad you heard (“Word up”)
Now if you loving hip hop, say, “Word” (“Word")
And if you feeling hip hop, say, “Yes” ("Yes")
Say, “Yes,” if you love it when a nigga grab the mic
And every time he do, the shit sound fresh (“Yes”)
[Verse 1: Akrobatik]
Yo, I must initiate lyrical inertia
The type that'll coerce ya to elevate your shit
I devastate your situation, build and destroy
When it comes to Satan, I kill and enjoy
I chill and employ the tactics of stretching
Emcees’ minds like prophylactics, turn methods of meaning
Intergalactic. Right now, they think too locally
So when they grab the steel, they tend to bullshit vocally
Old-school like rotary phones and Roto-Rooter
But, still, I got the vision for the future (Aight?)
Yo, I shoot to fill heads—dreads or otherwise
Check it as this brother rise over these other guys
Who smother lies all in your face—fuck that!
I'm bringing skills back to where the previous sucked at
No time for slacking during the verbal slaughter
The sharks swim the other way when I'm in the water
[Hook 1: Akrobatik and Samples with Scratches by DJ Sense]
So if you loving hip hop, say, “Word” (“Word")
And if you feeling hip hop, say, “Yes” ("Say, ‘Yes’")
Say, “Yes,” if you love it when a nigga grab the mic
And every time he do, the shit sound fresh (“Yes”)
Now if you loving hip hop, say, “Yes” ("Yes”)
And if you feeling hip hop, say, “Word” (“Say, ‘Word’")
Say, “Word,” if you love it when a nigga grab the mic
And kick some shit that you was glad you heard (“Word”)
[Interlude 1: Akrobatik and Samples with Scratches by DJ Sense]
[Akrobatik]
Dope shit. Yo, check it out, yo
[Samples with Scratches by DJ Sense]
“Come on and, come on and just” - Sample from [?] - “[?]”
“Come on and, come on and just” - Sample from [?] - “[?]”
[Verse 2: Akrobatik]
Yo, the outcome's already determined. This joint
Is burning whoever it's concerning, so start learning
For this type of shit, hip hop fans is yearning
As the world keeps turning, respect I keep earning
Sending sonic waves to the globe's four corners
Reaching happy, carefree kids to war mourners
Supporter of the cause to uplift the craft
So the average emcee can't fuck with the half
The illest scientist can't fuck with the math
Of the rugged Black Avenger on a mission like Shaft (Yo)
You could check the graphs, statistics, and percentages
They all say that Akrobatik's style is what vintage is
Breaking down integers to fractions. Brothers hear
The facts, then ask when Akrobatik's coming back in
No time for slacking during the verbal slaughter (What?)
The current swims the other way when I'm in the water
[Hook 1: Akrobatik and (Samples with Scratches by DJ Sense)]

[Outro (Overlapped with Hook 2): Akrobatik]
What? Yo. Yo, yo. Say, “Yes.” Say, “Word.” Say, “Yes.” Say, “Word.” Yo, this shit is absurd, uh. Yo, yo, yo. Mmm
