[Verse 2: Dice Raw] Ayo, I'm dancin' on the edge of insanity And rhymin' like its the end of humanity Still people from the old neighborhood can't stand to see me Turn around and tell girls we like family What up with all that jokin', and calamity Behind the laughter, they thinkin' about jammin' me But they don't know, I got somethin' for them But I ain't with that negative vibe, so fuck all that I've earned a lot from this game, and sacrificed more Stand here a new man but I'm still the old boy They claimin' they sell but I'm still the old boss Sometimes wings get clipped, we all hit the floor But today though, its Black Thought, Kweli, and Raw You can be sure that we got our eyes on y'all Watchin' different artists rise and fall Motherfuckers jumpin' ship like we came to rob at y'all [Chorus: Black Thought + Dice Raw & Talib Kweli] Ayo, when I say, "Pump that," y'all say, "Shit up" Pump that!

[Verse 3: Talib Kweli] Kweli, sittin back in the cut like Res In a constant peace, call me fantastic like I cut the grease Baracudas movin and canoein sippin amaretto I'm a ruler of my temple, what I do to instrumentals Instrumentals is the development of these niggas mentals Tears in your eyes like this moment is sentimental Your fundamentally floored, philosophically bored Disturbed like the eighth floor of your hospital ward You've GOT to appoint niggas to raise the bar Muslims praise Allah, Christians praise the God Rastas, they say Jah They find a way to rhyme with the pallet like fine wine And make you say ahhh Guess who's back? The game needed improvement Can't spit the bullshit no more, you sound stupid I'm a shark in the water with constant movement Influenced by music since a truant yo This is how we do it yo [Chorus: Black Thought + Dice Raw & Talib Kweli] Ayo, when I say, "Pump that," y'all say, "Shit up" Pump that! Shit up! Pump that! Shit up! When I say, "Stand up," y'all say, "Get up" Stand up! Get up! Stand up! Get up! When I say, "Rise up," y'all say, "Now" Rise up! Now! Rise up! Now! When I say, "Lick a shot," say, "Blaow" Lick a shot! Blaow! Lick a shot! Blaow! Ayo, when I say, "Pump that," y'all say, "Shit up" Pump that! Shit up! Pump that! Shit up!
