Infectious, I'm passed on like a parasite (ha)

I've seen the Eiffel Tower and all the Paris sites
|
But comin back home, there ain't no comparin, right?
|
It's time to play ball and it's a big inning, I mean the beginning's here
|
And the picture is clear
|
Your whole team's played out like a pitcher's career
|
While we home celebratin with a pitcher of beer
|
And yeah I do this rap thing but don't say that I sing
|
That's just me spreadin the icing (icing)
|
Huh, I'm goin end to end like hockey icing (yeah)
|
Fuck up the flow, so you don't know if I'm wrong or writing
|
I've been here, holdin down base (base)
|
Blowin out the speakers, turnin up the bass (bass)
|
Back to the basics, basically I do this shit faithfully
|
And no one is replacin me, take a seat

[Verse 2: Classified]
|
Uh, yeah, now back in the day makin diss tracks on your tape deck (yeah)
|
You could get your face decked with a skate deck (bap)
|
You might want protection like safe sex (ha)
|
Or you'll get robbed for your cash and the safe's next (gimme that)
|
I ain't the thug type (nah), nah it just don't suit me
|
But I'm never clean cut, no dress shoes or suit please
|
I chop it up like Bruce Lee, I'm too sweet
|
And gettin groupies like honeymoon suite (ha)

And all these MC's want a piece of me
|
But ya, playin yourself like reality TV
|
All in syndication, shit you a repeat
|
Talkin bullshit, other words you a feces-ces-ces-ces...
|
And I'm a drug like morphine (yeah)

Yeah, uh, yeah, aiyyo, I coast through the east coast, ridin with the
|
Crew (crew)
|
Sunday afternoon, with the car on cruise (cruise)
|
Try not to breath when we smell Seaweed
|
But we love to breath in the smell when we see weed (huh)
|
And I don't rap with a Bronx accent (nah)
|
But shit sometimes it slips out by accident (yes y'all)
|
Yeah I'm infleunced, the birthplace of hip hop music
|
Got a hold of me the first time I rocked to it (ha)
|
I learned how to converse with flow (yeah)
|
And took off the Converses, got the shell toes (yeah)

'Cause they don't ever look at the con versus the pros
