The Last One

[Verse 1: Playdough]
Let's put the first last
Open up the door for you
Used to cover what you were saying but now they ignore ya'
It's hard to come terms, taking these learns
I'm used to be the illest, my skill is slow burn
Cause I been overshadowed on it
Every song, spat upon it
Everybody else is introspective, I just battle on it
But in a crew there always has to be the wack one
Know I am, Playdough, the first and last one

[Verse 2: manCHILD]
One up the competition like a two-point conversion
In a full season division classical baton excursion
It's person to person worsenin' with age and I can't
Feed my feeble presence, it's orchestrated and financed
People making comments, even dance spin for the [?] man
Falling far below the top ten, the spot where I been
Well, every crew I guess there has to be the wack one
Know I am, manCHILD, the first and last one

[Verse 3: Sev Statik]
Ayo, I rep the 518, upstate New York
Albany's point man when I begin to talk
I been in the front lines since '85
Rocking rhymes, killing raps
Written down, or off the top of the mind
From a culture abandoned, hip-hop flagship
Five-point citizen with PCM traffic
In a crew there always has to be the wack one
Know I am, Sev Statik, the first and last one

[Chorus: Playdough]
I saw the first and the last one too
Opened up the door, said I'll pass right through
But after you, cause humble stew
Keep me loving everybody how we 'spose to do
But after you, cause humble stew
Keep me loving everybody, show love everybody (body)
After you, cause humble stew
Keep me loving everybody how we 'spose to do

[Verse 4: Sivion]
Green or blue, take a double spoon of the humble stew
Cause I'm new and my crew carry suitcase for you
So initiation through but I'm still making dues
Deepspace5 emcee lose [?]
Give my microphone a boost
Never get respect in the booth
It's a wonder that I even have a clue
In a crew there always has to be the wack one
Know I am, Sivion, the first and last one

[Verse 5: Sintax.the.Terrific]
While they fiend for a champion ring, be little
When we scream at opposite extremes, be middle
Be little when everyone else is over-sized
Buying extra-strength products for new and improved vibes
Be little like a child stargazin' the sky
Or like a single sand bar bravin' an ocean of tide
In a crew there always has to be the wack one
Know I am, Sintax, the first and last one

[Verse 6: Listener]
I cut with an evil cleaver, not a reader, but a heater seeker
I'm an eager beaver, not a bleeder, but a leader needer
I'm a rapper and I've come to terms
You can give me a pound but don't give me no germs
I'ma do what it takes to swim in this lake
And wade around and say these nouns and get what I take (uh)
In a crew there always has to be the wack one
Know I am, Listener, the first and last one

[Chorus: Playdough & DJ Manwell]
I saw the first and the last one too
But after you, cause humble stew
After you, cause humble stew
Keep me loving everybody, show love everybody (body)
After you, cause humble stew
Keep me loving everybody how we 'spose to do

[Verse 7: Freddie Bruno]
I'm flippin' fables, waiting at the table, music is the hunger
Fred I wonder, what's that one thing that takes us under
It's probably our big mouth or our big talk
It don't match like pop stars that crip walk
Sketch chalk over that black top [?]
Overthink the link, flatten cakes and hip-hop
In a crew there always has to be the black one
Know I am, Fred B, the first and last one
