Well goodness gracious  let me just take this 
time out to pull a rhyme out  and update this 
For you and yours  simply because 
Some MC's have luck but suck 
So I pluck em like feathers on the back of a chicken 
Cause I'm mad like a pit when my man says  "sick 'em" 
Positive is the mindstate  but it could still mean that 
I will kick a ill, malicious like mean rap 
Suckers they forced me, to knock em all out and 
They think they know things, like what I'm about and 
They try to analyze criticize scandalize 
The outcome is death, don't ask me to sympathize 
Realize, that I'm not to be played with 
I'll flip so fast, you won't know I'm the same kid 
I'm tired and fed, with all the weak stuff said 
All the phony-baloney, that went out like Pro-Keds 
You've got no leads, so you shoot blanks 
It's me the crowd thanks as I step to the top ranks 
Bankin my money, and investin it wisely 
Snatchin up chumps when they try to sneak by me 
I'm the dominant one, call me the prominant one 
And as I'm speakin I'll be bombin the dumb 
deaf and blind cause I was born with a sharp mind 
Eatin MC's with ease like it's lunchtime 
or crunchtime, when they get done without warning 
I'll bust that butt from nighttime til morning 
Your song's boring, and so I'm scoring 
much points cause when it's time to throw joints 
I cause havoc, the mic I grab is like savage 
I invade the stage, and make you get off 
The force is like a three-eight, blowin your head off 
And that's just in case you might be wearin a vest 
Cause you're simply a pest in this mess I suggest you 
"Take a rest" 
"If this meaning doesn't manifest, put it to rest" --> KRS-One
