The Rebel feat.Tragedy
Marley Marl Feat. Percy & Tragedy Lyrics

I'm here to bust your shit
I am here to attack and defeat you.

The mastermind of manuscripts
I am an expert in writing lyrics.

The force of extremity
I am a powerful force in the rap industry.

My rhymes are the remedy
My lyrics can heal and fix anything.

You can't deal with the T-are-a-g
You cannot compete with me, Tragedy.

Rap ??? flowin like the Pegasus
My flow is smooth and effortless.

Rhymin is as easily as the obvious
For me, rhyming comes naturally and easily.

I bust your head pulsating rotating
I dominate and control your mind and thoughts.

This jam is generating with the motion I'm creating
This song is energized by my creativity and talent.

I'm the boy wonder, Tragic super duper
I am a gifted and talented rapper, Tragedy.

Raised in the Bridge, cause I'm a Queensbridge trooper
I grew up in Queensbridge and represent it proudly.

The rebel of the treble, the ebony prince
I am a nonconformist in the rap world, proud of my African American heritage.

'88 is on the way, I make a big difference
I will make an impact in the rap world in 1988.

I make it visual and intellectually clear
My lyrics are both artistic and intelligent.

(Tragedy) the Rebel is here
I am Tragedy, the rebellious rapper, and I am present.

Because I master great kicks turnin flesh to dust
My lyrics are so powerful they can destroy people.

And knockin all boots is a definite must
I will impress and control my audience with my performance.

Cause I'm havoc, Trag, Tragedy tragic
My persona is chaotic and dangerous, my name is Tragedy.

There are many ways to explain my magic
My talent and creativity can be explained in many ways.

The explanatory category best fits me
The best way to categorize me is as an expert in explaining things.

Cause my lyrics are called sweet poetry
My lyrics are beautiful and artistic like poetry.

And I'm sick of be-boys just hippin and hoppin it
I am tired of rappers who are not truly talented and just imitate others.

I have you sayin, "Damn boy, shorty be droppin it"
I will impress you with my rap skills and make you say "wow".

Back in the '60s to know is to know it
In the 1960s, people who were "in the know" understood things better than others.

And I'm the last remaining of the world's last poets
I am one of the few true poets left in the world of rap.

Talkologist, infinity from when I begin
I have the gift of the gab and can talk for hours without running out of ideas.

And to disapprove the Trag is a mortal sin
If you criticize me, Tragedy, it is a very serious offense.

Diabolical gangster, hoodlum and genius
I am a complex and multifaceted person, part villain and part genius.

I write poetry when I find it convenient
I am always focused on my craft, poetry is something I can do anywhere and anytime.

Snap a stage in half like a polo bear
I can completely dominate a performance with my energy and talent.

(Your Tragedy) the Rebel is here
I, Tragedy, the rebellious rapper, am present.

I drop words you won't find in a dictionary
My vocabulary and creativity are beyond what you will find in a standard dictionary.

I write rhymes to improve my vocabulary
Writing rap helps me to learn and use new words.

Drama, Art, English education
My education and experiences have shaped my creativity and talent.

And I'm the man, I design the animation
I am a creative force, and also design animations.

Mentally and with jock control
I use my mental and physical strength to control my audience.

The equalizer rises up on your FM mode
My talent and skill level will rise above others on the radio.

And which I use with telepath
I have a special connection with my audience, almost like telepathy.

And it's (Tragedy) who's on your phonograph
It is me, Tragedy, who you are listening to on your record player.

I confuse your conscience, and boggle your brain
My lyrics are so powerful and deep, they will make you think and question your beliefs.

You may think that I'm sick, but I'm perfectly sane
My lyrics may be disturbing, but they come from a rational and healthy mind.

I design my rhymes with architectural construction
I am meticulous and precise, like an architect, when writing my lyrics.

But that's another story, a different function
My writing skills and creativity go beyond what I can explain in this moment.

You see, it's mandatory to embold fear
It is important to make people feel fear and anxiety through my lyrics.

(Tragedy) the Rebel is here
I, Tragedy, the rebellious rapper, am present.

The rap automatical, the rhymatical
I am a natural and gifted rapper and writer of lyrics.

Forget ill, I get illmatical
My talent and skill level are beyond what others consider "ill".

Biceps pulsating in my lungs
My energy and strength comes from within, like a powerful muscle.

Queensbridge Projects is where I'm from
I represent my home, the Queensbridge Projects, in my music.

Wicked like a witch doin sorcery
My talent and creativity are powerful and mystical.

With a book and a pen, and my m-i-see
All I need to create powerful lyrics is a pen, paper, and my mind.

The outstanding ovation when things get drastic
My audience will be impressed and give me a standing ovation when I take control of a performance.

You keep fantasizin while I'm fantastic
While my audience is lost in my talent and performance, others are only imagining being as good as me.

Black magic flowin smooth but strong
My creative talent is strong and powerful, but also flows smoothly like magic.

And I'll have you rockin and shockin...
My performance will be unforgettable and leave my audience buzzing with energy and excitement.
