[Note: all versions of this song released to date have been the Clean version, with some edits being easier to make out than others]

[Intro: Kazi]
Ha, ha, ha-ha, ha, ha..
Best beware... ha... best beware... ha
Here to warn you
'Bout the last coming
Better beware... yo... yo... yo...

[Verse 1: Kazi]
I stand firm, with the mic in my hand
Calling out you phony n[---]s that be bitin' my man
Keep it up, you know I'm fed up, now it's time to go head up
I guess I was born, naturally born, to leave you [-----]s gone
Calling out the Kaz', you best go get a refund
Don't try to innovate - wait! (Wait!)
You still won't sound great
Talking 'bout you got a new style as you dig in my crates
Well uh, I'm here to tell you that I'm busting your bubble
You in some hot water, or should I say some lyrical trouble
There's the door, see your way out, talkin' 'bout you playin' p[--]sy
Time after time, I caught your bluff you need to quit
Just, chill - come on, I know your next move
When my troops get together it's like "Grand Groove"
I prove a point, make some stands in this hip-hop clan
Staying true to the roots, four elements to comprehend
You still don't get it, reality is a must
[Chorus: Kazi & scratches by Madlib]
[Defari] "How many like you must MC, when you're far below A.V.E.R.A.G.E.?"
It's like n[---]s ain't hungry no more
What's the deal? Keep it ill
[O.C.] "Who will use wits to be a remainder?"
[Defari] "How many like you must MC, when you're far below A.V.E.R.A.G.E.?"
It's like n[---]s ain't hungry no more
Get it together, 'cause sooner or later...
[O.C.] "Who will use wits to be a remainder?"

[Verse 2: Kazi]
Aiyyo, my suicidal team use prevent defense
I'm in your area causin' pain, repent (What?)
Can't stand MCs that don't equal to nothin'
Come on, you're frontin', rhyme against us? It's like [---] whoopin'
I stay blunted, while my rhymes get charged
While your b[---]es out there frontin', giving up the dyin' cause
Get off that! That tip you livin' mad foul
With ya phony-ass rendition on how you freestyle, yo
No [-------] skills, you lack the definition
I've risen, threw out that wack sh[--] that you giving (What else?)
[-----] do your vocals, your delivery be so-so
A verbal chokehold upon your crew because you're awful
Or change your folk because we're coming for your throat
Erase what you wrote, 'cause mentally you can't cope (Nah)
Wastin' time with no motivation
Scared to bust the microphone with innovation
I know your type, you're strictly out for the cash
In this underground industry, you just won't last
Ha... I said, you just won't last (Why? Because ya wack)
[Chorus: Kazi & scratches by Madlib]
[Defari] "How many like you must MC, when you're far below A.V.E.R.A.G.E.?"
It's like n[---]s ain't hungry no more
What's the deal? Keep it ill
[O.C.] "Who will use wits to be a remainder?"
[Defari] "How many like you must MC, when you're far below A.V.E.R.A.G.E.?"
It's like n[---]s ain't hungry no more
Get it together, 'cause sooner or later...
[O.C.] "Who will use wits to be a remainder?"

[Outro 1: Madlib scratches the last two syllables of O.C. saying "remainder" to instead sound like "made-up"]

[Outro 2: bonus beat]
