0:33 - Recognize the Wise ways I RevolutioNize when I EuthaNize all these haters committing these Useless Lies - The truth divides the Fiction from Fact, causin' Friction when I'm Rippin' the Track, As a matter of Fact - I stay Krushin' the mic until it's Nothing but Scrap, I started from Scratch - A Sequence of Raps that Frequently Traps any type of Prey that Strays right in my Path - This is the Past Pretense of a man on his last defense...
Ata Barz
Just pure genius.
