GZA — Feel the Pain

[Verse 1] Yes, yes y'all I feel I'm a threat to high-powered MCs 'Cause when I roll up on their live shows they kinda freeze From being approached by the Genius of rap Whose poetry makes hands on a clock clap You see, I be coming with strong rhymes galore That even a stubborn MC can't ignore That trying to defeat me brings about danger Like a child speaking to a stranger Soft MCs, I see more and more With an ancient style, the prehistoric bore Yes, they scream and roar 'til your throat get sore Now you're running to the neighborhood drug store To buy the cough drop, for what? The wrong hip hop Now you swear you're on the good ship lollipop But it's a sweet trip to the candy shop Blaow! Now it's a six foot drop For stealin' rhymes which is incorrect Biting was the cause, death was the effect 'Cause the action affects the reaction There's more like you, yo, you just the fraction Of those who speak on how others are weak You wanna sneak peek of the hype technique? Don't make me run up and start flipping like I'm insane Or you'll feel the pain [Hook] You'll feel the pain Feel the pain Feel the pain [Verse 2] I appreciate your compliments of my creation Your standing up followed by your standing ovation Your kindliness to listen to the true MC Those who know me make me number one 'cause they agree I rock on and on past the break of the dawn Ask Rakeem, Unique Ason or even Melquan 'Cause I be flowing, at the same time showing Hard headed individuals who don't be knowing That I wrecked it, 'cause my style is perfected And injected into a dope beat selected By who? Easy Mo Bee, the engineer But don't forget the hypest in the Northern Hemisphere The G, the- the G, the- the Genius From Earth, not Mercury or Venus Or Mars, 'cause then I'll be a Martian But even in that world I'll still be squashin' Brothers who feel they have the heart To battle me, then I'll just rip them apart Don't make me run up and start flippin' like I'm insane 'Cause you'll feel the pain [Hook] You'll feel the pain Feel the pain Feel the pain
