Check, check to the mic, check
A one-two from a crew coming through, are you hype yet?
Nowadays everybody wanna talk
Like they got something on Scribe
They ain't got nothing when I'm up and alive
And can't front when you're feeling the vibe
You know Scribe is taking you high
Love it with the double bass
Vibrate, shook the plates in your vertebrate
Yo, hit a man, move like a RS
Subaru with a crew, come equipped like a body kit
Lyrically Bob Burnquist
So one foot is in the style through his tongue like a stalefish
This kid named X from the Vic
Wanna get with the Scribe in live like a oh-five
I got vibe like a beehive
And when the muzzle from the squid of a pimp by the seaside
And get down on the wave that we ride
Around town on the down low
Never know what the flow, pro chop-chop
You can't stop hip-hop, 'cause it don't stop
Hmm, check it out

Pito Saute Aukilagi!!! It ain't good, it ain't good 'cos you'll get jumped in my hood
Pito Saute Aukilagi!!! It ain't good, it ain't good 'cos you'll get jumped in my hood, ah!
[Adlibs] It's the remix! yeah, uh, yeah, c'mon...ah, savage
I'm hearin' you still talking that shit but none of your actions here are speakin' to me
I'm talkin' it, walkin' it, my stompin' style will stop your movement'
Hold up who's this? (aarrah!) Still leavin' you with cuts and bruises
So cut the bullshit before I rrrrock your face with a pool stick
Dirty, Dawnraid and Frontline, P-Money, Scribe, Savage and Con Psy
Everybody is feelin' that shit, I'm out your speakers like Ill Semantics
On stage for the crowd reaction, Everyone just bounce your asses
Keep it movin', uh-huh, New Zealand music
South Auckland raise your arms!!
Let me see you throw it up!!
And I will always represent my crew decep-deceptikonz! What!!
How many dudes you know roll like this?
How many dudes you know flow like this?
Not many, if any
Not many, if any
How many dudes you know got the skills to go and rock a show like this?
Uh-uh, uh-uh, I don't know anybody...
[Savage adlibs] cha-hoo, yeah, yeah, c'mon, Savage!...aaaarrock a show like this! I don't know anybody
You know who this is, act right
It's the kid comin' up that's flow is untapped
Wrote enough drafts, know enough raps, off the head skill that'll crush cats
But it's hard to spit without comin' off arrogant
And y'all insist on droppin' comparisons
And y'all who sit, mouths runnin' and chatterin'
Get off my dick, you're so fuckin' embarrassing
Y'all don't want no part of this, upon this ish
I serve the ill like a pharmacist, I'm on to this
I've been broke like promises
so if you get me started kid you're gonna see the consequence and y'all
Don't want that
'Cos I stay on, gimme you're words to play on
and I'ma make your writtens look thick like you lost your pen and wrote it in crayon
But yo, y'all should play the back like scenery
I'm dope, the writings on the wall like graffiti
So, y'all can't even hold your own
You get a manicure if you're goin' toe to toe
Suppose you know, that I treat tracks like kicks 'cos I'm clean when I lace mine
I break minds, If I put a watch in a bum bag that's the only scene where I waste time
Let's go
How many dudes you know roll like this?
How many dudes you know flow like this?
Not many, if any
Not many, if any
How many dudes you know got the skills to go and rock a show like this?
Uh-uh, uh-uh, I don't know anybody
[Con Psy adlibs] Frontline remix, Con psy up in it, come on, let's go
How many dudes you know roll like this?
How many dudes you know flow like this?
Not many, if any
Not many, if any
How many dudes you know got the skills to go and rock a show like this?
Uh-uh, uh-uh, I don't know anybody...
[Scribe adlibs] Congratulations, you made it. Welcome to the reeee-miiiiix!
Scribe's here so give it up [applause]
I never put the mic down when I pick it up
I rip it up so dope this year, everybody want a hit of us
But y'all need to breathe because you're hiccin' up [hic]
We refuse to leave you can't get rid of us
Yo, they think I'm drugs because I come in the club
and I be dancin' by myself like I don't give a fuck, what-what?
Scribe on the mic I write an elegant flow
Even drop adagio for the lyrically slow
Not hypothetically, physically lettin' you know
I got my rhyme packed tight and we're ready to go
Made some mistakes in the past, that was yesterday
Today I'm on my way to a better way
Forever bringing together what you separate
So whether, you like it or not I'ma elevate
You know this rhyme is me takin' time to celebrate
Relax and take a breath y'all [breathing]
I'm here to stay and not goin' away
And can I get a 'yes yall'? yes-yes y'all!!
[adlibs] ooh-ooooh!
Theres...check it out
No...check it out
One...check it out [ain't noone like me!]
Like me
How many dudes you know roll like this?
How many dudes you know flow like this?

How many dudes you know roll like this?
How many dudes you know flow like this?

@nikocheecho1932

honestly one of the greatest pump up hip hop songs of all time, the beat alone is fucking mean, not enough people recognise this i think.

@VsAngeel

very underrated

@bittyboo93

I heard this for the first time 5 years ago on a People to People trip to New Zealand in the summer after my freshman year of high school. Our Kiwi guide had this as our morning song and we listened to it on the bus every day. I was just working on homework for a college psychology class and found myself writing "not many, if any..." and was suddenly rapping the entire song. I haven't listened to this in maybe 4 years and it was a great moment to go back and reminisce about such a great trip.

@dawniebee946
