[Minister Farrakhan]
So out of the MERCY of Allah
and the LAWwritten in our nature
We call an INDIVIDUALinto existence
And when that individualI makeNO apologies
for what I m about to say

[Big Daddy Kane]
Roughrugged and realyou re on standstill
to obey okay so let the man build
words of rapture that you have to capture
And I just slapped ya
with the hand full of literature
that s dope def fresh hype choice smooth and raw
Rappers I replacerub outand erase
Competition you must be on freebase
Smokin or chokinbound to be broken
Manget your damn hands off the mic that I m chokin!
Cause I got a strangehold
You re still cold off the road for the role you stole
Rhymes that you yell outbut you did sell out
Crossed-overlost over herenow get the hell out
I m not a pop starrock n roller
I m a rebelBLESSEDable to hold a
mic like a hammerand drop grammar
Treat a rapper like a wrestlerand body slam him
Those who dispute get treated just like a prostitute
They get the boot and played like a flute
so just PLAY mutedon t even whisper
Open your mouth to speak and I m diss ya
Ragtag and dogput you in the morgue
Because you re petty confetti and not ready to rock steady
In other wordsyou re half-steppin
Tiptoeinget goinbecause my weapon
is not a ninean uzi or a shotgun
But when it come to hype rhymes I got one
Just like the album is still the same
_Long Live the Kane_ ain t a damn thing changed
I still get ill and kill at will and build the skill
to fill your grill so don t tell me you re real
We sample beatsyou sue and try to fight us
*tchk* Maaaanyou still be home with arthritis!
If we didn t revive embring back alive
old beats that we appreciatedyou wouldn t survive
You d be another memory to us
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
So understandthe way that I live
that s positive - and the message I got to give
It s a benefit for you and me
I m talkin bout P.E.A.C.E.
The chosen one that has turned a new leaf
I got gold teethand they don t chew beef
No pork on my forkstrictly fish on my dish
The Kane fallin victim? *tchk* Suckeryou wish
I flow like waterslaughter
Put you out of order.. floored ya!
Rappers are raggin and taggin and snaggin and braggin
to be on the bandwagonbut I m the Last Dragon
With the knack to attract the pack
so just GET BACKI m younggifted and black

And just go with the flow you know
In the place to be with my man Marley Marl
Sendin this out to Divine Force
Can t forget my main man Heavy D
And to my good brothers EPMD
And to my man Ice-T over on the West Coast
Can t forget Kool Moe DeeBusy BeeMC Lytethe Audio Two
I saypeace!
