Lyrics
This is a little tale I like to tell everybody about me
And I finally meet my match on the battle scene
Check it out, yo
Now I was strolling down the block
Blessing my mind with freestyle scriptures
In battles I emerged triumphant within my mental pictures
Then there's a tap on my shoulder
A cypher appears from thin air
Crews form circular groups on blocks to shock the Cyclops Illogic me
Cats gave daps and formal introductions of rap names
As I made my way to the center I heard this kid busting
He flipped dope syllables and colloquialisms line after line
Rhyme style was undefined but it reminded me of mine
As I listened more attentive
He didn't offend me 'cause son was kinda fresh
But as far as Illogic style goes, Illogic does it best
So I stepped closer to the center
But yo, do my eyes deceive me?
Now for this next line most of y'all cats won't believe me
But he reflected my identity perfectly to a T
I was sent
I couldn't move just because of the sheer amazement
Of the symmetry between me and he
An exact replica
In one line he said his name was Illogic
So you know I had to step to the imposter
Yo, what, what, you think you me? What's this?
You ain't Illogic, you ain't the dopest MC in the universe, punk
Yo, we gotta settle this by battling, what's the deal? What's up?
The sight of this imitation has me squeamish
Soon to escalate lunch from my stomach
You couldn't attempt to burn me 'cause you're no match
Yo, yo, yo hold that cat, you're wack
So being you's not an option 'cause I rock it
So my superiority stays clear like fiber optics
So stop this treatment and behavior
You better call your savior if you think defeating me's worth a try
As I speed up the purpose of the process of your life to die
The cypher lie, one in the same
Another one in the flame I'm toasting
And like hip-hop's a parasite and it's obvious I'm hosting
Yeah, it's obvious you're roasting in my presence
As I heat up the spot with my explosive effervescence
Lessons in identity
Being me's impossible, to be you you strain
Yeah right, I'm you
With the height of my IQ you think I'm on some brain
I run insane MC out of the realm of sanity
You're not even worth the oxygen I bless you with
So as I lived I've been given the gift to concentrate
And make the fake Illogic levitate off the face of the Earth
For what it's worth I've watched your mom's face from birth
To nullify your existence
But whatever, you're not even clever enough
I'll spit verses at you with 3D lyrics
Get complex as pyramids or as simplistic as teepees
You wanna be me so bad you can taste it
So watch your mouth or I'll slap the taste
My tongue's a pencil and a wack MC's paper
Yo, yo, you crazy chasing dreams
Word to Jazz, Jakes, and Cole
You're already feminine so when it's time for that lunch
You can't even come with a flow
That shows you lack of skill
You're wack at will
So I guess you will it often
With no delay you got nothing left to say
The real ill has sealed the coffin, punk
What? What now? What? What?
Yo, this for all them kids that be biting the third
Writing our joints, biting our shows, you know what I'm saying?
This joint proves all the verses open up to defeat us is us
You know what I'm saying? This verse is for y'all punks
Check it out, yo, yo, now
Now, now are you done yet? I hope so
'Cause my next step is to stick a fork in ya
In the road, the end of the road
Forks five dimensional
I'm tri-dimensional
You should try dimensional thinking
'Cause you're shrinking
Must be losing tall props
It all stops with a phenomenal instance
So it's logical the ball drops
And your, your team's first string
Get yours so I pull the first string to string you along
Bring you along on the ride of your lifetime
And which side will end your lifetime?
You only punch, but I bruise with loose lifelines
On all lifelines, steps pulling
But mine, I'm out of this planet
You see my plus liquidated credit
As I attack you'll have panic in mind
To make moves I'll pantomime
To paint silence I'll paint a mime
In audible silence I'll taste a mime
So you're now polluted
Whatever concentration you once had has been diluted
Am I really that cruel?
Well thanks for the flattery
After this battery you'll be flattery as flattery
Whichever comes first
You come first often I've been told
Your girl knows me personally from the waist down
In my mind I'll rewind time and rewind an MC
See him, I see him
In a hypothetic synthetic hallucination you wouldn't wanna be him
Yeah, that's for y'all, y'all, check it out
This is Illogic, Blueprint
Me, myself, we turn our eye
You know what I'm saying?
For all the punks that be biting
Thinking they dope enough to take us out
The only person that can take us out is us
You know what I'm saying?
That goes for all the hip-hop community
All the real hip-hop community
All y'all punks trying to be hip-hop
Saying y'all quote unquote hip-hop real heads
Y'all not, you know what I'm saying?
Y'all need to sit that down, sit that down
Listen to this joint
And then cower back into your little corner
And try to come up with some creative stuff
You know what I'm saying?
This is Illogic signing off, peace
