Title: SYNDICATE SOLDIER
 

Here we are, my friend.

Once again

I'm inclined to rhyme one time.

So won't you lend me your ear?

Cuz it's clear

That this here has no pain

If this song was the blues you'd be sheddin a tear

Like a baby

Maybe

Is shoulda held back.

Some of you look shocked

I guess you couldn't tell that

I was here to drop knowledge

College is irrelevant

My next move,

To prove I'm smooth but still intelligent

Expressing

Lessons with sheer precision

First hear me out then make a decision

On whether Everlast knows what time it is.

Does this song belong in the rhyming biz?

Yes, I think so, cuz I'm a pioneer

Blazing the trail across a new frontier.

I'm growing lengths of growing stregth as I get older.

Cuz I'm a syndicate soldier.
 

All affections left behind,

There's two more gears to grind.

Before I'm through,

I'm sure that you will find

A new respect for the rhymes I inject.

Through your eardrum,

Don't play dumb

Just let me get to the point of my address

Unless you feel you can't go.

This song is on the tables to make you dance, so

Get up, and if you don't, leave the premises

I'm Rula-Ku so you can call me a genesis.

Born to perform and please a large crowd

Of people at night and to my right is El-o

The scale is brother,

Known for being treacherous

A sucker made a move and that's the reason

Fletcher was forced to put his head out

He got too close to me,

Two by my side

And that's that's how it's supposed to be.

These are my brothers,

And they've been around me

Since back in the days when the Syndicate found me.

They are the people deserving of credit.

List my name, gained fame, and made sure I wouldn't let it

Go to my head

Instead

I keep my feet down

Unlike sucker's from the past I beat down.

The fatal mistake was to break on my confidence

Overall, their fall was due to overconfidence.

As we go, the ego's

All start acting up

With statements

Of greatness, the rhymes aren't backing up.

Talking louder as they get bolder,

But there's no defense

Against a syndicate soldier.
 

As we reach the final stage,

Something got engaged,

In a conflict,

That's sick with violent rage.

I gained fame,

From my name, Everlast.

How long can this hype about a devil last?

A star was formed, but everyone took it serious.

Now it's seems, I'm seen as delirious.

That's okay, I'll stay under rated.

And good things will come to all who have waited.

For the brother of a lighter skin to begin

Droppin' knowledge with weight,

Cuz you rate paper thins.

Science is one thing, knowledge is another.

What do I mean when I say that I'm a brother?

Being a brother is a state of mind

For all those who chose to remain unblind.

Growing wisdom as I get older.

That's right I'm white and I'm a syndicate soldier

Title: SPEAK NO EVIL
 

I'm in the studio with my brotha the half asiatic

You know the fraction of black skin and a smidget of white

It's my brotha Kool Nick

And we about to drop some science on the this track

About God and what not and the world...
 

Step up and bow your head

Be greatful your hungry for knowledge

I'm serving a plate full of 12 course meals

And a black plate of of wax through MC's

Sit back and relax

Try to digest the data that I feed you

I'm actin' this way 'cause I'm bred to the color of my skin

Something I take pride in

Still my people insist on hidin' behind the American dream

And it's like the home of the free

And mom's apple pie

I got whiped for the meltin' pod

I guess not

Kid stuck up for his rights and got shot
 

Yah, I speak no evil (2x)
 

Yo, Nick do me a favor

Step up!
 

[Kool Nick]

His world is crazy

It must be sick

Be like Nick

Get ricious real quick

Jews, Muslims, Buddah Baptists

Brought up like the Merry Christmas

See salvation

Every pinch of this rhyme is from my heart

And I meant this

Jesus...Scattered his blood for me

He hung on a cross

You know that story

Nowadays a lot of people are trying to worship Satan

But your gonna fry in hell

I'm never burning up forever

The forcast see no change in weather

Damn', the Devil would never twist this mind with the mark of the 666

Thanks God there no one equal
 

That's why I speak no evil (2x)
 

Listen to the story of my savor

And how he gave up life to let us live

That's a hell of a gift to give

Kick it E
 

Now as I take a look around

I don't see many people down

With my cars...Ha, that's scary

Tryin' to diss the son of Marry

You being lord take the bait

And fall into the trap of Satan

Then your life's over without no sequal
 

That's why I speak no evil (2x)
 

Yo, this is weird rhymin'

Strange brothers are gettin' shaked on the streets with gold chains

Some smoke crack, cocaine, and Jumbo fried

When they talk mumbo

How can this be society

I front the place where none of us want to be

People gettin' judged by the skin tone

It wasn't like this way back with the Flinstones!

Some times I get kept back because I'm half black

People can't except that, yoexcept me for what I am

What did I do

Becasue none of us give a damn

All they want is to drive a Mercedes

Half a million dollars...

And live like the Brady's!

But anyways time is winding

Not grinding

lLok in your heart and start finding peace and love

No matter what your grade is understand the knowledge at hand and believe this
 

I speak no evil!

Word up

We got my Ma Lofy in the house

Man, my boy Chris

My brother Low-Dog

My brother Bry

My lady T

Yo, we got Shawny, you what's up

My brother E over there

Hahaha, you know I speak no evil!

Title: SYNDICATION (Remix)
 

(Wait a minute)
 

Dope new styles of rhyme, not breakin science

Down with the Rhyme Syndicate alliance

You're on the tip but in the crack of a whip

You know the saying about ships and slips with a lip?

You'll be sunk while I be gettin drunk

With the bottle of rose I keep in my trunk, punk

Don't try to get none, know where I'm comin from?

I don't care if you do got a gun

You better step off before I go off

And don't dare bug, riff or show off

Cause then I break hard, you think I'm a fanatic

Speak my rhymes in English, not breakin no mathematics

Cause that's for other people, boy, I ain't got 'em

But in almost every other rhyme I can spot 'em

Get off it, get off the bandwagon

Runnin the same old styles you keep draggin

Everlast is here with rhymes ready to drop

Hey yo, here I go again
 

I'm the foreman of this rap, this rhyme style construction

You're on the eve of destruction
 

(Wait a minute)

(Keep on singin, keep on singin) (4x)
 

Step forward face up, meet the grim reaper

You're aimin for the top as the ladder gets steeper

To my man Divine I send this dedication

To let him know that with his help I got a Syndication

With the dope rhymes I write, the styles I recite

Don't follow this leader, I'm not your guiding light

To the groove I'm smooth like a hit from a buddha

I might smoke an herb but I won't sniff or shoot up

Not hangin with gangs or messin with thugs

Not slingin no caine or dealin no drugs

Cause I'm straight like an arrow, the path I follow is narrow

On the rise Everlast will sore like a sparrow

Through the sky, so don't ask me why

If you're dazed and confused you must be high

So before you try and break make sure that you're sober

Cause I'll snatch your crown, boy, then I'll destroy ya
 

(Wait a minute)

(Keep on singin, keep on singin) (8x)
 

To all you new jack MC's writin your rhymes in haste

Get dissed, put out of business, don't it seem like a race?

Face death, your final breath jumpin up in my face

I'm a single not a pair, not a deuce I'm a ace

As you hear the treble clack hear my bass tone kick

Take three out in a snap like a flat hat trick

Everlast is educated, energized for endurance

Properly protected with a 100 g insurance

For my mouth (mouth) (mouth)

Wet my whistle at a party with a Coke and a stout

Take heed duck MC's cause Everlast has the clout

So break north, suckers, the top's why I came

Don't wanna hear beefin, cryin or complainin

From you or any other party or set

The pied piper of rhyme, it's time to pay your debt

Pay the piper, the sniper, who wanna get hyper

On the microphone there's no other type of

MC gettin with the E

Down with Divine and DLC

Def Lyric Creations on radio stations

Everlast reigns supreme and I'm in Syndication
 

(Wait a minute)

(Keep on singin, keep on singin) (4x)
 

Hey yo, come here, lend me your ear

Everlast is the name of me and my gear

So get up, get with it, come on, admit it

The rhyme I just spoke, you wish you did it

Like I do and you tried to

But I'd quit while I'm ahead if I were you

But I'm not, I'm givin all I got

Get the girls on the floor, make em hot to trot

For the Caucasian Sensation there's no hesitation

Everlast reigns supreme and I'm in Syndication
 

(Wait a minute)

(Keep on singin, keep on singin)
 

(Everlast is here with)

Title: WHAT IS THIS?
 

This is Everlast (6x)...
 

Step up while I inject an overdose of intallect

An overload of my vibrations better yet a new sensation

I was lost but then he found me no corruption dissed around me

I was taken to a higher, level of funkdifia where souls of men were burned

They were taught but did not learn about the ricious laws of God

Who threw the seeds over the side, takin' roots and tryin' to grow

Though the process might be slow please stay with my question
 

What is this? (This is Everlast) (5x)...
 

[Scratch] Wha wha what wha what is thi wha what is this? (2x)...
 

Not speakin' on my physical, mental or my horror

I'm speakin' on my soul for the burn would beat you whore

There's no such thing as love of your life, it's the hands of the God

So don't treat his ricious laws with blatant disreguard

In order to follow the Lords path here is what you must do

Do onto each of your brothers as you have done to you

This golden rule is all you need and you'll be rewarded

The man that don't will pay the price and believe me you can't afford it

Because
 

This is Everlast

What is this? (This is Everlast) (3x)
 

[Scratch] wha what wha what is is thi this?
 

This is for the one-two war of over who's God is the right one

Can it be the Asian one, the black one or could it be the white one

The answer to the question isn't controversial

There is only one God and his love is universal

If you sit in great redemption all you need to do is ask him

Then you will be both prepared for a life that is Everlasting

So take heed to the word's I'm sayin', grab a good book and get hip

To the teachings of the holy coral or the Bible's holy scripture

Because
 

What is this? (This is Everlast) (5x)...

What is this? (This is Everlast) (4x)...

Who is this? (This is Everlast) (2x)...

WHAT IS THIS??!! (This is Everlast)

(repeat)

Title: THE RHYTHM
 

[Voice]

The rhythm is both the songs manicle

and it's demanicle charge...
 

The rhythm (20x),

I'm Everlast born to be a caucassion

but it makes no difference what persuasion you are

As long as you know how to get up on the floor

and start workin' a sweat

To a musical measure that makes you move

as soon as the needle drops into the groove

So get up and dance to the gift I'm giving,

forget about your troubles get into the rhythm
 

The rhythm (Talking about the rhythm) (10x)...

Yo, yo, you know what the world needs?

Rhythm!

The rhythm (Talking about the rhythm) (10x)...
 

You linger for the rap singer,

when Donald D brings the party to the deal

my presence is felt world wide

You don't dance to this it's suicide

Put your hands into the air on, the M.C. cop,

the girlies are pipen' hot

Natorious Lama is how I'm livin'

don't step to me step to the rhythm

Step to the rhythm
 

The rhythm (Talking about the rhythm) (10x)...

You make me feel so hot like I said before we need rhythm,

The rhythm (Talking about the rhythm) (5x)...

All we need is rhythm...
 

Listen to the tracks that rolls,

watch the mic as it glows

The lethal weapon got you trapped in this dance mode

Ice-T's throwin' words at you like dodge ball y'all

You gotta move get hit, if you get hit, you fall,

no jokin', no boastin' and no bragging

Grip the mic like a .44 magnum,

dust you off if you suck 'cause I ain't

You want me to write soft rhyme's,

Sorry, I can't,

I write the rhythm
 

The rhythm (Talking about the rhythm) (10x)...

We need rhythm for the world to have peace and unity

We must first have...

BOOM!

Title: I GOT THE KNACK
 

You got it (13x)
 

Get up everybody and listen to this rhyme

My name is Everlast and yo I'm always on time

I got what it takes to make this groove complete

When my DJ cuts he's never missin' a beat

I'm down with the Syndicate and they're down with me

I'm also down with Divine, Bilal and Quincy D

Terry B., DJ Lethal and my brother Kool Nick

Kid Jazz, Scratch, Bangle and Cut Master Quick

I worked hard and long to master this traight

And to quote my other song, yo I'm just out to get paid
 

So sleep on me now,

For my time will come

Everlast lasts forever

That's why I'm number one
 

I got the knack (7x)
 

Everlast is in effect, gettin' full respect

I collect big checks, 1's, 5's, 10's, 20's, a 100 G's

I'm pullin' honey's left and right, day and night

You gotta see it to believe it, it's quite a sight

There all on my tip to get a sip of this poetic performer

I can get whipped but I'm out to get paid, not to get laid

All across the country my records gettin' played

The radio stations, clubs and renkores

All the shows I play I make them do encores
 

So sleep on me now,

For my time will come

Everlast lasts forever

That's why I'm number one
 

I got the knack (5x)
 

(Ah, yah, hit me, alright, check this out)

Step up place your bet and I'll serve your fortune

But first I must issue just one word of caution

Dope lyric presentations are my soul notiriety

Everlast is on the rise movin' through society

My voice is moist resighting choice vocals

Respected world wide and feared by locals

Poppin' junk out your punk mouth

Makin' bets it's too late for regrets

It's time to pay your debts, E-v-e-r-l-a-s-t

It's the name that I fed a poetic demigod with skin that is fare
 

I got the knack (10x)
 

Now there are too many people in this world tryin' to play me

Like I'm some kind of sucker constantly they disobey me

Tellin' me what's sellin', what kinda records be charted

Sound like him, sound like her but they all sound retarded

Takin' very little time to write down a rhyme

It's confusing to see so many people so fly

Some think that it's a sell out rhymin' to this beat

But Everlast takes any groove and makes it sound complete
 

I got the knack!

Title: ON THE EDGE
 

I'll assure you and ensure you you're the one I love

All the Gods up in heaven sent you from above

Sent you down to Earth just to make me smile

Don't you know you're the only thing that's worth while

In my life, be my wife, don't turn me down

You're the best, so say yes and I will never frown

You know you got me on the edge of happiness and despair

Doesn't matter if I slip cause I know you're there

To catch my fall, all in all I'm havin a ball

Whether we're dancin and romancin or leanin on the wall

When I'm with you, girl, I could never be bored

You're so fine and you're mine yes, I thank the Lord

Every minute of the hour, all hours of the day

There's one thing I been dyin to say

I love you
 

You got me on the edge (2x)
 

We met by chance, I walked in when you were workin

I gave you a glace, advanced and caught you smirkin

At me, the E-v-e, you know the rest

I asked you for your number and began my quest

To conquer your heart, body, soul and mind

You came around and I found that you were one of my kind

So I laid the same old drag, whispered in your ear

But that didn't work and I started to fear

That you might be too much woman for Everlast to handle

In my eyes no girl could hold a candle to you

I was confused - hey yo, what's my next move?

My boys said, "Relax E, and act real smooth"

But that approach wasn't workin and I realized

That this girl was really different

That scared me a little but it also intrigued me

I wanted to know if you were serious, not tryin to lead me

On, so I confronted you and asked you the time

You said you felt the same way for me and that you'd be mine

Forever
 

You got me on the edge (2x)
 

So there we were, a match made in heaven

I was thinkin about you girl, 24/7

Every minute, every hour, all day and night

In my bedroom or the shower or when ridin my bike

You're on my mind all the time and my rhyme's redefined

Secret letters to you and they're boldly signed

By me because I love you and I always will

And the thought of bein without you girl, makes me ill

I love you, I need ya, I'll clothe ya and feed ya

You'll never be lonely cause I'll always be there

We'll be together side by side

And when I'm out with my boys I brag about you with pride

I took a picture of you wherever I went

Took you anywhere you wanted, no matter what I spent

I have to admit girl, your lovin was def

But it tore me apart when you left

But now I realize I'm the one to blame

I took a thing like love and turned it into a game

And even though I regret it, I couldn't let it

Show cause I didn't want you to know

The pain that I was feelin deep in my heart

But now I think I'm ready to make a new start

With you
 

You got me on the edge (4x)
 

Well, we've been through a lot together

Throughout the stormy weather

The only thing I'm sure of is love lasts forever

I know my love is true and I know you love me too

There's only one thing left for you and I to do

Regain the bond that we once had

And once we accomplish that girl, we'll both be glad

I'm better off for it, you can't ignore it

The love that we feel, we both cherish and adore it

So let's stick with it through joy and through sorrow

Take it one day at a time and not worry about tomorrow
 

You got me on the edge

Title: FUCK EVERYONE
 

I don't do work I do damage, everytime I pick up the mic I manage

To diss someone or get somebody pissed

Take off my coat, clear my throat and begin to dismiss

All you fucked up punks that pollute mankind

Give me the mic take a hike, give me a piece of mind

Don't shout shut your mouth I'm trying to think cleary

You say my rhymes are dope check it out

This is nearly the start of something big like startin' a fire

You think the party is here, I'll take the level higher

I'm Everlast get off your ass you cut my rug you understand my game plan

You say man that kid bug, soya blood cotacs if you like the key

Now I'll stomp your head till you're dead or at least till you bleed
 

Fuck everyone!
 

It's the Syndicate I say what I want to,

I say, "Hey fuck off punk" just to taunt you

Into believing the ryhmes I say are meant for one thing

And that's achieving my goal

So I can stroll where the fat money rolls,

'cross the bridge over trouble waters

Pay the toll with no bother, no fuss,

In God I trust but the rest pay the cash that's a must

The reason I'm teasin' you is it's pleasin' me to see how funny this can be

When I grab the mic I'm like a three wheel bike

I'm always on a roll, I'm always good as gold,

So before you smack lip stick and try to talk shit

I'll tell you now the battle's over and the joint is lit so quit
 

All hell breaks loose and it's a little known fact

T hat I attract and cause a crowd to react

Like an atomic explosion of the pacific ocean

The crowd gets large and I got this notion

All I wanna do is speak my rhyme and get paid

'Cause I'm in a trade to not be played and watch suckerss get slain

Put out of business, come on what is this, you came too late, boy

Class been dismissed, canceled, terminated put on a natural brake

North, find a new school to attend 'cause you know I'm goona say what I wanna

I'll grab the microphone and let my knowledge be born up, intelligence

Excellence, razor sharp wit, it's known shit, it's always gotta be legit

And up to par no matter who you are,

I know I'm not the best but I still leave scars on your brain cells

What the hell...
 

Fuck Everyone!

Everybody...Fuck'em... (2x)

Every everybody fuck'em!
 

I got Tipper Gore protestin' my lyrics,

Fuck that bitch I don't need a clearance

To write my rhymes, speak my mind,

You can't censor me the public's not blind

It's time they knew whats goin' on,

You shouldn't have the power to stop a song

Even if you don't like what you hear

Even if the song is strikin' fear into your heart

Body, soul and brain it's my opinion so it's my domain,

Fuck all those standin' in my way

Step to me and you'll have to pay what I say so pay your debt

You fuck with me and you'll have regrets
 

Fuck everyone...

Fuck'em (2x)...

Fuck'em now...

Fuck the fed now fuck'em now...

Fuck'em everybody!

We don't want to hear bullshit niggers...

Fuck Everyone (2x)...

Fuck'em

Now, fuck you HAHA...

FUCK'EM!

Title: GOODBYE
 

Na-Na-Nahh-Na, Na-Na-Nahh-Na, Hey, Hey, Hey...Goodbye!

Goodbye, it's over

we're through

it's done

our relationship is no longer one on one

so I guit girl

I don't need this

I'm disgraced

'cause in my face

you spit

I quit stepin' out wit another guy

after givin' you my love I deserve to know why

how long has this been going on

how long have you been doin' me wrong

you thought I didn't know

you thought I wouldn't go

well, that's why I'm makin' this song

to say goodbye
 

Na-Na-Nahh-Na, Na-Na-Nahh-Na, Hey, Hey, Hey...Goodbye! (2x)
 

Pack your bags

get out of sight

I won't see you with a man on any night

you try to play me like a fool

but now you see you've been schooled

by the E

and it's plain to see

you thought you had luck like a four-leaf clover

well, your luck just ran out

home girl it's over

I hope you had a lot a fun

were you lyin' when you said I'm numba 1

well, I guess it don't matter

it makes no difference

I caught you wit' a smokin' gun

or so to speak

girl you a natural born sneak

and the hand you delt me was really weak

but that's alright, you won't see me cryin'

I brush a girl off when I catch her lyin'

so when I toss you out

don't dare ask why

don't try to return wit' a tear in your eye

that's just my way of sayin' goodbye...
 

Na-Na-Nahh-Na, Na-Na-Nahh-Na, Hey, Hey, Hey...Goodbye! (2x)
 

Usin' me,

Confusin' me,

Inside you abusin' me

You think I'll stick around so you can keep abusing me

Wise up girl, I ain't playin',

You try to make it better sayin'

Let's hit the hey and make love

Then I know that your loyal

But I can't take the stress, I don't need the termoil

You told me that you love me but it was a lie

You know that I care, but I must say goodbye

Who is it that you thinkin' about when we kissin'

And when we all alone is it him that you're missin'

I couldn't stand the feelin' when I see another man in my spot next to you

So what you want me to do?

Forget about it?

Act like it never happened?

Turn the other cheek and wait to get slapped again?

Or until you say when?

You're through with me but you will see

I'll be the first to say b-y-e

So when I toss you out don't dare ask why,

It's just my way of sayin' goodbye
 

Na-Na-Nahh-Na, Na-Na-Nahh-Na, Hey, Hey, Hey...Goodbye! (2x)
 

I must admit it, you hit it well

Did you get your kicks puttin' me through hell

Runnin' around with your new found child, he's not a man

He can't get wild, but that's alright, girl, you made your choice

And maybe by now you're sick of my voice, but it's too bad

'Cause you made me mad,

And I'm gonna show you all the things that you might've had

Then you'll be the one feeling pain and misery

Regretting the past (goodbye)

'cause you're history

So when I toss you out don't dare ask why,

Don't tug at my sleeve as I walk by

Don't try to return with a tear in your eye,

It's just my way of sayin' goodbye
 

Na-Na-Nahh-Na, Na-Na-Nahh-Na, Hey, Hey, Hey...Goodbye! (2x)

Title: PASS IT ON
 

(Ladies and gentlemen we have)

Everlast

(In the house tonight I think they got somethin they wanna say)
 

I'm here to uplift, I don't bug, I don't drift

Away from my subjects, not even if

My music stops or my beat is gone

I'm just here to express myself and pass it on
 

(So funky)
 

Speakin much words of wisdom, Everlast has the jism

So sit back, relax, kick up your feet and listen

To E cause that's me, no others can be

Half as fine, I blow your mind with an m-i-c

Get off the tip quick, boy, you're makin me sick

No other partner could be smarter than my man Kool Nick

Understand, he's my man with the plan

We come to parties with the posse just to gain some fans

The posse is strong, the lines are long

People flockin to my shows just to hear a song

Like this, it's not a diss, it's a mouthful of bliss

Throw your hands in the air and blow me a kiss

From the crowd cause I'm proud, I say my name loud

Everlast pounds sounds like a thundering cloud

It's not rock 'n roll, it's hip-hop music

It's got a lot of soul if you learn how to use it

Well, I'm here to tell suckers go to hell

Others tried to take me down but they're the ones who fell

Ignorance was their downfall

Take it a little at a time, don't go for it all

At once cause that's stupid, it don't make sense

Just relax and move your body, don't look so tense

I'm not here to diss nobody, I'm just havin some fun

Everlast last forever, that's why I'm number one

So pass it on
 

With a forty in my fist breakin out my list

Of all the suckers I'm cold about to diss

There's none to match me or even catch me

Off my guard, so that they can scratch me

Off the MC all-star team

Everlast is number one, that means I reign supreme

Cause there ain't no others, listen up brothers

Just because I'm white don't mean that I'm another

Sucker on the microphone frontin and fakin

Not Mexican, Asian, black or Jamaican

Just a sensation made to be caucasian

Get ready brothers, here comes an invasion

Don't try to stop it, you got a rhyme? Drop it

You might detect that respect's my topic

I won't rush it but I'll discuss it

Go ahead and pop your shot if you think that you can bust it

But I'ma go on, I'm gonna talk some more

I guarantee you won't be bored if you get on the floor

And go for yours and say that you get it
 

Get up, get out your seats, get on the floor and get with it

And listen to the rhyme I like to call mine

I re-rehearsed every verse and soon you will find

Not one mistake, so don't try to break

Or talk about takin out the dope rhymes I make

Just pass em on
 

You're goin wild for my flow and style

I don't stutter, I utter words versatile

I'm entertainin with my brain and always wearin a smile

I don't front, I don't fake, I run the whole mile

You clap cause my snap is like a crocodile

Whether I'm on stage or in my domicile

I'm not fiendin, I don't smoke, I tell you I'm no joke

You're schemin for my lyrics cause you know I did dope

Don't give me no Moët, pour me a glass of rose

And I'll say 'skal' to your health and then I'll blow you away

Not Simple Simon on the ( ? ) just rhymin from Long Island

The rungs on the ladder of success I'm climbin

Fierce like a lion keepin ducks tame

Murderin two-bit MC's until none remain

Cold gettin dumb, I'm number one shinin like the sun

With a mic in my holster and I'm on the run

Gunnin down MC's and writin on the walls

I'm ready for a showdown if you got the balls

Commence, face my offense cause you're makin me tense

I make a lotta dollars but I make more sense

So pass it on
 

Pass it on, pass it down the line

I can throw with the best and go rhyme for rhyme

With any sucker claimin talent, thinkin that he got some

But what you do not realize is Everlast is number one

Cause Everlast is on a superior level

Go ahead and laugh, call me a devil

I won't care, yeah, my skin is fair

But I still go rhyme for rhyme anytime or -where

With you or any party or crew

And when I finished you're diminished, take a sip of my brew

And step off, clear my throat with a cough

And bust a move to show and prove that I'm hard not soft

And with my DJ Bilal my beat will be furnished

You find with my rhyme your mind will be nourished

With wisdom and knowledge, yeah, I went to college

And if you get dissed I won't apolog-

ize, cause that's a part of my rise

And I go on and on, I go to any length

Just to show that when I throw my rhymes on the strength

I like to see the crowd movin when I come on

I'm just tryin to get my message across and pass it on
 

 

 

Artist: EVERLAST

Album: Forever Everlasting

Title: NEVER MISSIN' A BEAT
 

Listen up, learn, you'll get your turn

I'm sendin this out to all it may concern

The party master Everlast is here

Before we begin I'm gonna make this clear

I take no short cuts, Bilal adds dope cuts

If girls were around I'd grab and grope butts

And if she got a man and he tries to step up

It's ashes to ashes and dust gets swept up

Tryin to step to me, boy, you must be sick

Got a nine in my pocket, takin heads out quick

I make my music loud, my parents proud

There's not an artist alive drawing a better crowd

Than the Everlasting operator droppin a groove

To make you get up and dance while I bust this move

And talk about myself, I don't need a partner

Bilal has the cuts, then I'll help start the

Show, let a lyric flow and you'll know

I make you jump up out your seats, scream and say "ho!"

You fall back down completely exhausted

Once you had the sound, but now it seems you lost it

You're worn out, you can't take no more

Since Everlast and Bilal took control of the floor

So jump out your seat, move your feet cause the beat's complete

I'm never missin a beat
 

(Never missin a beat) --> George Clinton
 

There's no need for askin, I'm the Everlastin

My mind is a poll and I'm gonna cast in

The ocean of words and pull out a new rhyme

And if it feels good, then I'll do it two times

Or maybe three, four, or even five times

When I'm done Bilal cuts up my rhyme

He's my partner, not a stand-in

On a 'highway to heaven' just like Mike Landon

And when it comes to battles my boy's a sure win

He's been in more scandals than J.R. Ewing

Busted up more parties than five-o

When it comes to a fight my boy's good to go

So step on stage, we duke it out like men

I beat you down with every word that flows out my pen

And I was the Green Hornet Bilal'd be Kato

Right by my side kickin up dust

And if a sucker acts stupid, grab my gat and bust

You can't run away cause my clip holds ten rhymes

If you been beaten once, I'll beat you ten times

Worse than you ever been beaten before

I don't drop my mic unless my throat gets sore

And that don't happen because when I'm rappin

My rhymes'd beat Gregory Hines if they was tappin

So jump our your seat, move your feet cause the beat's complete

I'm never missin a beat
 

(Ain't it funky)
 

Lyrical and linguistic, somewhat artistic

Some call me a devil, others call me mystic-

al like a crystal ball

And if you step to me you'll take a fall

Just like the Roman Empire

Feel the wrath of a devil's hellfire

Callin me a devil, some think it's a diss

To me it's just a name, it's not stones and sticks

You can't hurt me, I got a positive outlook

Readin my good book

Or maybe some philosophy like Socrates and Plato

Step to me with drugs, I just say no

But I'll drink some lemonade if it's ( ? )

I'm down with DLC and the Styler

The D-i-v-Einstein of rhyme

Is down with me cause he knows that I'm

On my way I will not stray

From the path of knowledge that'll earn my pay

I think for myself, I take advice

And if I did it wrong once, then I do it twice

I check my steps, make sure they're correct

And that's why me and DLC get respect

So jump our your seat, move your feet cause the beat's complete

I'm never missin a beat
