Yo yo yo
What I want you to do on this one Illogic is
Show all these people, what kind of styles you got
'Cause the true test, of any MC, is his versatility
So get on this mic, and show these heads what you got
Yeah

Yo, yo, so you want to try battlin'?
I know time will tell my prime but I paddle time for tattlin'
I'm on some, kind of, time to, hypnotize a hypnotist
Verbally you're vaginal
Take this stiff mic and split your lips
Lyrically I'm picturesque and you're not photogenic
My shadow gets tripped up tryin' to mimic
In memory mention me mentally, starvin' put simplistically
Pardon but waitin' for you my mind would malnourish
While my style flourish, try not to bother it
'Cause with your intellect
You couldn't stay atop your flow with a scholarship
Holla if, ya hearin' this, conceal I'm revealin' gets
you higher than heaven so then it's now an execution
You feelin' this?

It's Illogic on the mic, check it out y'all
Blueprint is on the track, check it out y'all
Lioness is in the house, check it out y'all
Dose One is in the house, check it out y'all
Five D's in the house, check it out y'all
J. Rawls in the house, check it out y'all
We got the Third in the house, check it out y'all
Check it out y'all, check it out y'all
Check it out y'all

Purified skill I demonstrate as the wack is eliminated
I could cum off with a vasectomy and you struggle masturbatin'
For this rendition I need some competition
Some type of challenger cause I smash, melons like Gallagher
With strength you're weak/week like one line of a calendar
Amateur, here's a warning, I keep it live, and you're snorin'
I'm so hot my conception was the initials stages of global warmin'
Stormin' kids, typhoon-like when the mic ignites I strike tykes
That take flight to lights of elevated height, cloggin' pipes up when
Bend men on the regular, sever ya, flavor ya lactates
You to beatin' me has the probability of lightning striking
Three times in the same place, but I make haste
'Cause I'm destined for great things like the fetus of Jesus
With wisdom I confuse the color schemes of prisms
I manipulate mics like the Nation of Islam to attack men
And leave whack men endangered like the species of black men
I'm on the prowl and, usually disembowelin' my attacker
And for some reason I got this habit of chain-smokin' rappers

Mr. Dibbs in the house, check it out y'all
Signify in the house, check it out y'all
G. Fresh in the place, check it out y'all
Apple G., check it out, check it out, check it out y'all

At times, my metaphors are hard for me to catch and I threw 'em
Heads I flew 'em ran through 'em with the quickness
Synaptic shutdown, what noun can haunt the pronoun for progressing?
So aesthetically profound, I got nuns undressing
Let's slow down, impossible cut throttle to light speed
This ya gotta see facts spittin' so sick I'll need a colostomy bag
Resistance is too foul, I'm advancin' hands when raps adapt
I'm so dope and you're so whack
You now defy the law that opposites attract
Herb you don't got the nerve to test me
'Cause my mind is so quick
You'd think my thoughts are goin' the speed of sound on a jet ski
You're rockin' name brands but you don't impress me
If I was your breath, while takin' a rest, you couldn't catch me
Respect me you're gettin' cancelled like Matlock
Cut short like a half-top
Stop, I told ya now I gotta fold ya like a laptop
You wonder why you can't get me it's cause you're not thinkin'
'Cause yo I flip more styles
Than a couch potato flips channels in a weekend

Megahertz is in the house, check it out y'all
We got Spirit in the house, check it out y'all
M-U is in the place, check it out y'all
Opium is in the place, check it out y'all
We got The Roots in the house, check it out y'all
Check it out y'all, check it out y'all
Haiku's in the place, check it out y'all
N. Hutley in the house, check it out y'all
All Out's in the place, check it out y'all
Elevator's in the place, check it out y'all
It's Columbus on the mic, check it out y'all
Check it out y'all, check it out y'all

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
