[Lupe talking followed by Pen Writing][Verse 1]Before I start, like to make sure I’m smartGather my composure, rather my swagger and my culturePivot my fitted, then begin to rivet, with a change of lyricIn other words, I reposition how I sit it,Then make u feel it Like I mispronounced Filet,On second thought, I can't make u fill itLike u diggin’ ya own grave, 'less u can Kill Bill itA night of the living passed the waitCan u dig it? Why Emcee? Hey,I do it for my village-The pennin’ is John Lennon, the beat; is the BeatlesGo together like Lennon and the peopleIn some fresh linens and some John Lennon’s fresh outta Seagle'sThe pen and the needles...[Writing and mumbling upcoming verse][Verse 2]I'm back at cha, and I Pac' like cap backwardsLike a hat's backwards, you know, when the bats backwardsYeah, like a bat catchersThe law gotta long arm like a back scratcherBut before I leave mine at homeLike a bad catcher, I think about my zoneWhere pimps make scratch off the track like a DJEasy, that’s my zone rappersIt's my deck...And if I catch u set trippin’ wit my cassette sittin’ in a zone rappers:It's not a threat,Cuz it'll span ya where I roam rappers, where I hone my skillsThey wanna send me back home the devil, is on my heelsThe wreckingness thing like in a sequences police, i repeatWe go together like the Beauty and the BeastWriting is in my veins;The ink is the diesel, the pen and the needles…[Writing and mumbling upcoming verse]The word is mightier than the swordAnd my serve is tightier than yoursLike year in St. Louis ya whole flowI fear I sank through it...It all became clear,Like a paramedic with an electric chest kit, YEAHThe gravity of the vocabulary is a caliber equal to ExcaliburSwung wit the grace of Agassi in his amateurs, THEREThere was a deeper depth, don't know how I got hereI also had a hole in my flow,It appears I sank to it...My swing, it couldn’t be seenI apply some paint to it, the invisible manWrapped in bandages, in critical, CLEARThe scriptin' of Scorsese the score is Count BasieWe go together like, the original and the sequelThis is the end of the trilogy, ya feelin’ me?The pen and the needles...
