Derelicts of Dialect

[Intro: Sample]
"The great will always soar, above, the mediocre; they create, while others destroy"

[Verse 1: Pete Nice]
Never had a wasted mind, had the time
Erectin' rhyme, I coins gifted lines
The flows I knows puts the papers in pockets
Swings of things, observed in my sockets
In ten spot I got stacks of LP wax
Corduroy slacks, loops and sales tax
On the racks but my label is Derelict
Spic-n-Span I slam, it's balls you lick
Ill missions, but doin' us ain't even simple
Stereotype the rhymer as a criminal
Subliminal, I put a noose on the necks
The sinister signs of my rhymes is sex

[Chorus: Samples]
"Menace to the neighborhood"
"Menace to the neighborhood"
"Menace to the neighborhood"
"Menace to the neighborhood"

[Verse 2: MC Serch]
Smooth, set-up so slick
As I set to move, all the great masses
Asses bounce to track that is all in
I'm droppin' my quarter, I'm placin' my call in
To my crew that's down with the street trends
Play around and you'll fall off the deep end
I heard your hooker she likes to do knee-bends
But I got a girl, so I called up three friends
And they called three friends (and I called three friends)
And so on, and so on, and so on..
So go on my path, and try to follow
But not step for step, 'cause I like to sidestep
You'll get swept like a broom, ay yo, make room for daddy
White boy in New York and I can't get a cab, G
So take me to my rest so I guess I'll get wrecked
'Cause I'm a derelict of dialect

[Chorus: Samples]
"Menace to the neighborhood"
"Menace to the neighborhood"

[Verse 3: Pete Nice]
Dialect spoken, in sectional lesson
The less you know, the more you gotta guess on
I press on point, some sweat my jizznoint
Playin' themselves with the fingers the point
I speak slow, I carry a fat stick
Get your kneepads and reapply your chapstick
Step to this, as the Derelict reanimates
No jim hat as my mouth ejaculates
I states mumbo, I speaks jumbo
Phonetics on phonograph'll prime your petro
Retroactive, my knot scale is tipped off
I rip the head off, the Derelict stepped off
And left to show this, to those who typecast
Ill the rhymer as trickster or outcast
Of intellect, I wreck shit with my own sect
The ace in the hole, I'm the Derelict of Dialect

[Chorus: Samples]
"Menace to the neighborhood"
"Menace to the neighborhood"

[Verse 4: MC Serch]
3rd Bass, but not a base for slidin'
Foundation, for a nation who's mind is
In motion, goin' in fluid
Who did you justice? Trust it's Serch and I'll crush this
Mental need for oppression
Oppressed and all vexed and just placed a suggestion
Lesson or loss enforce those in
Or spot who got your head frozen
Defrost the eye and spy on the serpent
On act two, he tried to close curtain
But intermission I glimpsed and I clock more
Derelicts watch act three and the encore

[Chorus: Samples]
"Menace to the neighborhood"
"Menace to the neighborhood"

[Outro: Sample]
"Individuals who are never satisfied with the static standards set by the masses—the masses have always been lethargic. They have always opposed greatness, for it is beyond them to even—comprehend greatness."
