Bo! Boom bye bye, hip-hop will never die
Despite the fact that I'm fly I'm never dry
You could beat me, cheat me, when you meet me try to defeat me
But nevertheless you'll have stress, cause I don't rest

I forget that other rappers ain't true to this

That's right up and down, up and down we go
Beatminerz on the track

Reverse flow, you get wolf if you didn't know
Either way when I play I'm
A beast at the show
Like yeast I will grow, to the East I'mma go
And increase what I know
- You Must Learn
Just like I told you, you must learn
It's calm yet wild, the style that I speak
Just filled with facts
And you will never get weak in the heart
In fact you'll start to illuminate
Knowledge to others in a song
Let me demonstrate the force of knowledge
Knowledge reigned supreme
