[Emcee(s): Truth Universal, ML7102 (AKA Infinito 2017), Rakaa Iriscience, and Mr. Skurge]
[Producer(s): DJ WAHT (AKA Mr. Skurge)]
[Scratches: DJ WAHT (AKA Mr. Skurge)]

[Intro: Truth Universal and (Sample from [?] - “[?]” with Scratches by DJ WAHT (AKA Mr. Skurge))]
(Listen) If you ain’t ready, you got to get... (Get ready)

[Verse 1: Truth Universal]
For [?]
Rock the mic right, bold—no anonymous trial
Relevant but far left of the predominant crowd
Originality was staple, but they’re lacking it now
Labels push trash without even batting a brow (Uh)
The record spin, I’m black and I’m proud
Late nights [?] with the monitors loud
Catching contact from somebody cannabis cloud
Hip hop (Hahaha)

[Interlude 1: ML7102 (AKA Infinito 2017)]
ML7102

[Verse 2: ML7102 (AKA Infinito 2017)]
Awareness, appreciation, dangerous metaphors
Rappers sound the same, deranged folklore
They all do what he do, sound like her
Percentage of Five—that’s my Nation, remind
Rhymes is rhymes. Yours is lies
Kind of trying to be yourself, you have been denied
You fools lose doing drugs for sport
Dull on the angle, never you on point

[Hook: Truth Universal and (Sample from [?] - “[?]”)]
If you ain’t ready, you got to get ready
(Get ready) You got to get ready
(Come on) You got to get ready
(Get ready)
(Come on)
(Get ready) You got to get ready
(Come on) You got to get ready
(Get ready)

[Interlude 2: Rakaa Iriscience]
Uh, uh, uh, Iriscience

[Verse 3: Rakaa Iriscience]
I siesta with one eye on the scope, wake and focus on
Connecting blocks like Legos—it ain’t just showbiz
Dark world. Be the bridge, building freedom, fight, or shine
Others lack the courage, understand they couldn’t find the time
(Boo) We’re international, States’ side to worldwide
With natural polygraphs, we recognize the world’s lies
They say the truth’s heavy. Aim and shoot steady

[Bridge 1: Truth Universal and (Mr. Skurge)]
It may be full of thorns, but they never will usurp the crown
Supreme ruler status (and I ain’t even stepping down)

[Verse 4: Mr. Skurge]
Kings first, merciless melanated marauder
Slaughter by knife just to spite ([?]) paid dwellers
I stay cold—so does Chicago wind
Reveal the stop sign and keep my patience paper-thin
Southpaw grip when I spit that (“Come on”)
Rock the crowd back-and-forth like a old slave ship

[Hook: Truth Universal and (Sample from [?] - “[?]”)]
If you ain’t ready, you got to get ready
(Get ready) You got to get ready
(Come on) If you ain’t ready, you got to get ready
(Get ready) To get ready, you got to get ready
(Come on)
(Get ready) You got to get ready
(Come on) You got to get ready
(Get ready)

[Verse 5: Truth Universal]
For these rhymes that ain’t
Talking ‘bout the usual violence and sex
Diamonds on my neck or the zeroes on my check
Rap’s saturation give me dime like online sales
Rap dudes lack imagination [?]
Longtime trail, watching [?]
Mastering this Western Wilderness like an Eagle Scout
Time to bring the leaders out. What I’m leaving out?

[Verse 6: ML7102 (AKA Infinito 2017)]
Nah. We don’t like your blah
Black in real life, I’m myself all-time
Infinito 720, always the same voice
Never catch me drunk, trying to keep

[Verse 7: Rakaa Iriscience]
How come
You rock abroad and, in those countries, records sell?
Well, number one: my work ethic is unparalleled
And, number two: when you’re good at what you do
Your reputation tends to get out there in front of you
Preceding me, so I, in turn, supply demand
Microphone in hand, rocking in some foreign lands
With other dope emcees, and if you overseas
(Worldwide with it)

[Hook: Truth Universal and (Sample from [?] - “[?]”)]
Yo, if you ain’t ready, you got to get ready
(Get ready) You got to get ready
(Come on) If you ain’t ready, you got to get ready
(Get ready) To get ready, you got to get ready
(Come on)

[Outro: Truth Universal]
Rakaa Iriscience, Truth Universal. And the Truth is Universal. Hahahahaha
