[Interlude 1: Akrobatik]

Yeah.  Uh.  I see a shorty in the back, excuse my language.  Yeah, yo.  This is big Akro repping Beantown.  I’m bringing it back Midnight Marauder style, yo (Yeah), and repping for my peoples: Mek and Unknown.  As usual (Y’all emcees), we’re doing the New England thing, yo.  (Emcees, listen) Bust it

[Verse 1: Akrobatik]

The human wrecking ball is back (Back) with one thing

On my mind: y’all is wack.  And while these idiots

Knock down buildings and kill innocent children

I’m keeping all my peoples on The Underground filled in

‘Cause nothing really ever run by the majority (Nope)

It’s always a few heads with fucked-up priorities

If I can’t change that, I’ll at least change rap, so if

You phony, then don’t even try to exchange dap

I’m money like Kobe and Shaq on a fast break

Inform y’all niggas, plus Akro make the ass shake

I’ll lock it down and I knock it down, and if

You biting, nigga, then I’m in your pockets, clown (Word)

‘Cause y’all circus-ass niggas with your trapeze tactics

Can’t get enough practice to swing with Akroba-a-tik

Balance, nigga.  I could tiptoe on a tightrope

I’ll make my living ‘cause I’ll rip flows and I’m quite dope

If I do say so myself, that is.  Yo, Mek, pass

The blizz, let me show these niggas what time it is

I’m sending motherfuckers straight back to the laboratory

I’m not impressed—why don’t you go make something fatter for me?

Yo, these styles young—can’t fuck with it.  That’s sta-

-tutory.  Watch your girl before I make a chicken catch a Tory

Or freak a seed.  Either way, I’ll make niggas see

That I’ma kick some shit that’s gonna go down in history, yo

Mek and Unknown coming through

With Akrobatik ripping up the damn microphone.  Every

Single time I touch it, I keep this shit wiling

Peace to all my peoples, Beantown to Long Island

[Hook: Akrobatik] (x2)

The night is on the mind

The, the night is on the mind

Yo, you know the Sun’ll still shine

Uh, uh, the night is on the mind
