[Verse 1: Akrobatik]
Yo, spontaneous combustion. Always keep my movements turbo-thrusting
Showed up on the scene trailed by gale force winds gusting
Busting through obstructions with percussion like a wrecking ball
Brothers running game but, to be honest, I ain't checking y'all
Psycho fans prepared to answer my every beck and call
But I don't abuse the privilege
This raw, underground, gritty MC lifestyle, I'm living it
Last will and testament? I ain't never giving it (Why?)
Why? ‘Cause what I touch remains infinite
Cremate my material items, perpetuate your soul by sniffing it
I’ll make a Rhodes scholar sound illiterate
My soul is old, rhymes dirty, born illegitimate
My shit received five mics before I submitted it
If it didn't, it's because the reviewer was inconsiderate
Probably got his head up some R&B ass
But it don't matter though. Ain't nobody scarring me last
I drop the fat shit, everybody bounce to this Fakts shit
Wrote the classic rhyme and chose the fat beat to match it
Lightning-quick skill—Garciaparra couldn't catch it
I hate it when MCs wear mascara and they ass switch
I got the matches and my fingers on the gas switch
Now, only Ak remains top draft pick
Create a female MC from my rib
And start a new breed of rappers to freak the ad lib
What?
[Hook: Samples with Fakts One Scratches]
"When you see me at a show, you better prepare for the flow" - Buckshot on Black Moon's "I Got Cha Opin (Remix)"
"Akrobatik always blowing the spot" - Akrobatik on Mr. Lif ft. Akrobatik’s “Inhuman Capabilities”
"When you see me at a show, you better prepare for the flow" - Buckshot on Black Moon's "I Got Cha Opin (Remix)"
[Verse 2: Akrobatik]
Yo, even when I spew thoughts at random
Me and microphone is an unstoppable tandem
Way too clever for the average slowpoke
That’s why the response I provoke is no joke
Cats choke in the clutch like Portland Trailblazers
‘Cause they lyrics irritate like disposable razors
I’m ripping with the precision of a surgical laser
Shock a crooked cop by use of his own Taser
The crowd amazer, crackhead rehabilitator
[Rock rocks that’s hot?] and Ak is the defibrillator
(Clear!) I pump life into a flatline
Dope across the boards like a Michael Jordan stat line
I make points. Plus, I’m good on the boards
Assist my people ‘cause I do the work on the morgues
Steal sounds and hide ‘em in a beat that rocks
Distribution on the streets translates to mad blocks
The treasure in your mind’s worth more than Fort Knox
So ignore those flashy niggas on the idiot box
Jewels is cool but these jewels let you know (What?)
That when you see Ak, be prepared for the flow

[Verse 3: Akrobatik]
On the mic, I shine so much that it’s ridiculous
Don’t come from Philly, but they call me “Acknickulous”
Ace in the hole like Jack Nickilaus
Breath control and stamina like a Tour de France bicycilist
I’ll push the pedal to the metal for the ghetto
Penetrate like a stiletto to show you that I got to have it
Like Edo on a lyrical level, I get biz
MCs are stuck—they failed the pop quiz
How you measure who the nigga reigning at the top is?
Well-thought-out lyrics or selling lies to the kids?
Witnesses across the nation vouch for Ak
I’m giving back with these chips that I’m about to stack
The counterattack to wackness is Akrobatik
Kid, front and this [free?] static automatic
And in this rap shit, I’mma let you know
That when you see Ak, be prepared for the flow, yo
