[Killer Mike:]
I move with the elegance of an African elephant
I presented the evidence eloquent as the president
Evident is the emphasis, I deserve me a championship
But before I banana clip I’ma chill so my man can rip

[El-P:]
Little man against Hellion with the heart of an orphan
I got the words of a murderer and an eye for distortion
You take a slice of my portion, I’ll take a piece of your profit
I drive at illegal speeds, Keep an O.Z in my pocket

A beautiful and awe-inspiring piece.
I first heard this mind blowing piece performed as part of the Big Boi (OutKast) and Atlanta Ballet’s production B.I.G. For those who did not see it, it was non-traditional epic.

Aye, aye, so now I’m—

[Verse: André 3000]
So low that I can see under the skirt of an ant
So low that I don’t get high no more
When I “Geronimo!”, I just go “Eh”
Solo, my cup is a rojo, my cholo, my friend
So low that I can admit
When I hear that another kid is shot by the popo
It ain’t an event no more

[Verse 1 – Killer Mike:]
I walk in
Ric Flair’in’, long fur coat wearin’
Rolex rockin’, silk shirt wearin’
Silk socks, and b—s need to breathe
So b—h the draws cotton cause you gon’ suck me when you leave
In a big Benzo on Lorenzos
With your homegirl LaQuinta who said she never did but she would try it
And as she higher than the f–kin’ Hyatt
She jet settin’, Moët’n, the God blesses
Against him prospers no weapon, champaignin’
Campaignin’, gator shoes high steppin’
My dopey eyes just hide behind my Dita frames
I heard this n—a say he don’t like me, well he the lame

[Hook – Sarah Barthel:]
It’s not your fault baby
We were just here born to shine

[Killer Mike (El-P):]
Fashion slave, you protestin’ to get in a f–kin’ look book
Everything I scribble’s like The Anarchist Cookbook
(Look good, posing in a centerfold of Crook Book)
Black on black on black with a ski mask, that is my crook look
How you like my stylin’, bruh? Ain’t nobody stylin’, bruh
‘Bout to turn this mothaf–ka up like Riker’s Island, bruh
Where my thuggers and my cripples and my bloodles and my brothers?
When you n—-s gon’ unite and kill the police, mothaf–kas?
Or take over a jail, give those COs hell
The burnin’ of the sulfur, God damn I love the smell
Like it’s a pillow torchin’, where the f–k the warden?
And when you find him, we don’t kill him, we just waterboard him
We killin’ ’em for freedom cause they tortured us for boredom
And even if some good ones die, f–k it, the Lord’ll sort ’em

[EL-P:]
A little toast for the no ones
With a nod to the masters
To the ones with the riches
From the ones who the rags fit
A little smoke for the gone boys
A little nod to the spirits
We’re still here runnin’ round screaming
They’re still here pointing and laughin’
Don’t walk away when I talk
I’m tellin’ you
Turn around mister
I got a permanent bop
Who the hell do I think I am not
And I’m twice as hot
As about half of hell
I get lighthouse lit up
Get down diduck
The boy got a barracuda bite
You can tell
