BE ILL

Be now, be ill, be down, be real

Yo, (be) they used to always ask me

What I wanted to be when I grew up

I said yo (be now, be ill, be down, be real)

A fashion dripper, Carhartt, Timberlands, contests

Opps flop, I stomp from gimmickless

Average spitter, the response, my competition get them all next

You're blessed like when the Fonz'll twist his lip

Lab hitter, progress, the God's magnificent

Patterns differ, context, my compositions hit

Fathom quicker, conquest, a conscious lyricist

Atom splitter, complex, it's quantum physics

Since they put my melody on, I cleverly form

My celebrity's still legacy and gevity long

Design flows in binary codes, no matrix

Light-speeds, time could be froze, no spaceships

Walkin' paradox, I made them all believers

Ship the paradigm, even time, alter features

On the mic, it's either too three or not too three

In life, it's either to be or not to be

"I'm-I'm-I'm in the zone (this is what it's all about)

Be ill ('I-I-I'll be flooded with ice')

Be ready to reveal ('I'm-I'm-I'm in the zone')

B-e-be all I can be, and more" (it will be finishin' touch)

Be boys and girls (be now, be ill, be down, be real)

My abilities, to create mass delusion

Headaches, heartaches and mass confusion

Contusions, I give out for free

Five at a time, one for two and two for three (for three)

Confucius, verbally abusive

Intuitive, a gift I give (I give)

Look what I'm givin', the voice of the unforgivin'

In time, I might get forgiven for my crimes (crimes)

Lay the body down and lace 'em with lime

You throw the beat on and I'ma lace 'em with rhymes

Helter skelter, this pure love bizarre

Masta Killa said we gon' rock with the R (with the R)

You are who you are and we shine like the stars (like the stars)

Sharp as a thumbtack, you jump in my car, let's go

"I'm-I'm-I'm in the zone" ('This is what it's all about')

Be ill ('I-I-I'll be flooded with ice')

Be ready to reveal be ('I'm-I'm-I'm in the zone')

B-b-"be all I can be, and more" ('It will finishin' touch')

Be now, be ill, be down, be real (be)

I walked on the sea of existence

And stepped on the shore on the moment

The father of civilization, I own it

The maker of my daughter, creation

One nation under a groove

Before the two virtues of seamless scriptures

Woven with the threads of wisdom

This picture of my life intelligence, stimulates life and matter

So eloquent, a thought so delicate

Yet weighs more than elephants, strokes of excellence

Extracted from the elements, a powerful calmness

I'm always armed and equipped with what I bomb with

A sweet flowin' river of mad facts, the actual

Calculated pressure applied, hits are tactical

Masterful mind

Catapult self beyond the measure of time

The resilience and brilliance of Kurupt Young Gotti

Rakim the godbody with the wise Chief Jamel Irief when I speak

Raisin' Universal Flags up high, say peace (Peace)

"I'm-I'm-I'm in the zone" ('This is what it's all about')

Be ill ("I-I-I'll be flooded with ice")

Be ready to reveal ('I'm-I'm-I'm in the zone')

B-b-"be all I can be, and more" (be)
