Feel the Pain

[Intro: The Genius]

Yes, yes y'all

[Verse 1: The Genius]

Yo, I feel I'm a threat to high-powered MCs

'Cause when I roll up on their live shows they kinda freeze

From being approached by the Genius of rap

Whose poetry makes hands on a clock clap

You see, I be coming with strong rhymes galore

That even a stubborn MC can't ignore

That trying to defeat me brings about danger

Like a child speaking to a stranger

Soft MCs, I see more and more

With an ancient style, the prehistoric bore

Yes, they scream and roar 'til your throat get sore

Now you're running to the neighborhood drug store

To buy the cough drop, for what? The wrong hip-hop

Now you swear you're on the good ship lollipop

But it's a sweet trip to the candy shop?

Blaow! No, it's a six foot drop

For stealin' rhymes which is incorrect

Biting was the cause, death was the effective

'Cause the action affects the reaction

There's more like you, yo, you just the fraction

Of those who speak on how others are weak

You wanna sneak peek of the hype technique?

Don't make me run up and start flipping like I'm insane

Or you'll feel the pain

[Chorus]

You'll feel the pain

Feel the pain

(Do you feel it) Feel the pain

[Verse 2: The Genius]

I appreciate your compliments of my creation

You're standing up followed by your standing ovation

Your kindliness to listen to the true MC

Those who know me make me number one 'cause they agree

I rock on and on past the break of the dawn

Ask Rakeem, Unique Ason or even Melquan

'Cause I be flowing, at the same time showin'

Hard headed individuals who don't be knowin'

That I wrecked it, 'cause my style is perfected

And injected into a dope beat selected

By who? Easy Mo Bee, the engineer

But don't forget the hypest in the Northern Hemisphere

The GZA, the- the GZA, the- the Genius

From Earth, not Mercury or Venus

Or Mars, 'cause then I'll be a Martian

But even in that world I'll still be squashin'

Brothers who feel they have the heart

To battle me, then I'll just rip them apart

Don't make me run up and start flippin' like I'm insane

'Cause you'll feel the pain

[Chorus]

(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)

You'll feel the pain

(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)

Feel the pain

(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)

Feel the pain

(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)

[Outro: Vocal samples]

(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)

(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)
