 No Great Pretender lyrics
 
 [Malik B]
 Check it out, one two
 M-illi-tant
 I be the, alias Malik B
 Internationale rationale
 All the people up 68th Ave.
 and across Broad Street
 or Silk Lane in South Philly
 And on, et cetera
 Check it out, check it out
 
 Chorus: The Roots
 
 Here on this agenda, there is no pretenders
 So when we begin to assassinate your cast members
 Here on this agenda, there is no pretenders
 So when we begin to assassinate your cast members
 
 Verse One: Malik B
 
 Dig it, cool calm collect in my perspective
 Search the premises, I leave no clues for detectives
 My verbal impact across your back slap
 You talk about you see me, but your vision's full of cataract
 It don't matter that, your glass house I shatter that
 Bad luck I walk under now show me where the ladder at
 Pull up the urinal organs up in your bladder cat
 Approachin you with shriller rhetoric, as if you had a sac
 Now crews down for it, your gas pedal floor it
 with ammo and artillery and stash spots to keep and store it
 I used the banner of a slant with a zort
 Change your strategic plan, my man's getting bored
 Your vocal chord is fraudulent, and not the true porcelain
 I bring the fire, earth, and the source of wind
 The force of sin will endorse the pen
 We all search for sanity, but I think that it was lost again
 Now which stick of artists, can be the smartest
 My beam of sunlight shines the brightest in the forest
 Regardless, artists dislike because I'm ?
 Control the temper, makin MC's whimper
 I tilt the Earth from off the axis in the center
 Next I'm in the womb like a placenta
 M-Illi-Tant the city ninja, uplift
 cause I'm the soul avenger, remember I'm no great pretender
 
 Chorus 2X
 
 Verse Two: Black Thought
 
 Strategis, I bet y'all niggaz can't believe this
 I read you like a whole avenue that's filled with meters
 parked, fuck your back talk, I watch how niggaz cat-walk
 over my pit of venom and send em to the asphault
 For inquisitives, who wanna try to test me
 What protects me, will make you shake like epilipsy
 Plague your neighborhood with lyrical le-prosy
 Stimulate more than Ecstasy y'all niggaz check my recipe
 Dig it, I must observe it, analyze when I'm chillin
 Peep out who's the villain then make your whole pavillion
 of a Sicilian, excuse the greed don't want a mill'
 I want a zillion - stacks of Franklins to the ceiling
 I counts stacks imported, fuck the yacht and the mansion
 I want Pluto and Jupiter, political, universal expansion
 Buy out Tommy and Halle Hanson
 Kidnap America, ? you hold it for ransom
 Pass it down to my grandson, I got no time to be romancin
 Only time's for mental food and advancement
 This game of Life is strictly chancein - get to know
 the nature before I get know the nigga while I'm glancing
 Enhancing, is my mental - I play in the midst
 a squad a team most crews is not in the halfs of rentals
 My utensils, display a whole variety
 Even when in the cut niggaz can't cut they anxiety
 Peep, I fill your brain with suspicion, pay attention
 like you paid tuition, and stop all your bull-ishin
 The rap chemist in the lab to the finish
 The mic is my apprentice, cause I can't stand
 courts or tennis, my pigmentation is the menace
 That's why the system's always tryin to pursue with a blemish
 Pale asses, think a nigga in this
 My flow's tremendous, for the meal you can't replenish
 The question you ask me, situation get worse
 Fam I won't befriend ya, cause I'm no great pretender
 
 Chorus 2X
 
 [Malik B]
 It's like that, one time for your mind
 Fifth Dynasty, interwine and combine
 M-Illi-Tant
 The Bad Lieuten-ant
 One hundred X, Bahamadia
 Minds and souls, like that
 Fifth Dynast', my man ?, P.R. Star
 My man Slick Looka
 Check it out, one time like that
 Feel the Fifth
 The One-Fifth attack
 Your backbone and spine
 Check it out
 Brother Q.U.E.S.T.
 South Philly, ?
