Step Into the Realm (Live)

[Intro: Black Thought]

Yeah yeah yeah

Check it out, emcees out there, they better stand clear

Roots crew'll be your world premiere

Illadelph straight stealth, son, watch yourself

The illest in the flesh, yo, guess who else?

MC's out there, y'all better stand clear

Roots crew'll be your world premiere

If you're feeling this, and if you're with me

Then throw your hands up, you don't gotta say nothin'

Just throw your hands up, come on

[Chorus]

Step into the realm, you're bound to get caught

And from this worldly life, you'll soon depart

Step into the realm, you're bound to get caught

And from this worldly life, you'll soon depart

Steppin' to the M-Ilitant and Black Thought

And from this worldly life, you'll soon depart

Steppin' to the M-Ilitant and Black Thought

And from this worldly life, you'll soon depart

Yo, check it out

[Verse 1: Black Thought rapping Malik B's verse]

Yo, I walk a-cross this, world that's deceptive

The beats are perfected, the ghetto's infested

With more destruction, my vocal eruption

Was speakin' 'bout corruption with no introduction

Approach me with caution 'cause I spark losses

M-Illatant the rap arson, marchin'

Leavin' niggas stiff like I'm starchin', departin'

Hollywood Sambos and jokes just like Martin

I'm the type of nigga that belongs in a ward

Hold a mic with a cord, and your head with a sword

Self proclaimed lames callin' theyselves Lord

All shall be flawed, when the claps applaud

If this a point of life, one I can't afford

I have to get sheist and I deal in fraud

Now back to the topic of, the rap philosopher

With more drama than a soap opera

Who stops the propaganda, the hot block commander

Puttin' a halt to all the bad talk and slander

Warning every challenger, about the silencer

Muzzle in your mouth for them days that's on the calendar

Come on

[Chorus]

Step into the realm, you're bound to get caught

And from this worldly life, you'll soon depart

Step into the realm, you're bound to get caught

And from this worldly life, you'll soon depart

Steppin' to the M-Ilitant and Black Thought

And from this worldly life, you'll soon depart

Steppin' to the M-Ilitant and Black Thought

And from this worldly life, you'll soon depart

[Black Thought]

Yo, I'm from the valley of the heavyheads, watch the ghetto pre-medical

Undergrads, and steady red faces of stone

Eyes are crevices, life like a double negative

Philly crimin-al, I rhyme my, dirt Tariq already did

Buildin' this, Fifth foundation in the wilderness

Thought-less, trespass and enter Thought's fortress

Limitless entrance, paid, to the order of the

Cypher slaughterer, my mic slappin' you senseless

Defenseless, niggas never movin' me inches

The beat Fifth, invisi-ble in the trenches

Afficiando, awesome hip-hop drug problem

Fuck stardom, and chickens in Gotham

Poltergeist, slit or choke the mic, til it scream to me

Stop that, cash we conveniently got that

I stroll through your scenery cocked back

Me and Hot Mack, the '99 subtle, pull it back, come on

[Chorus]

Step into the realm, you're bound to get caught

And from this worldly life, you'll soon depart

Step into the realm, you're bound to get caught

And from this worldly life, you'll soon depart

Steppin' to the M-Ilitant and Black Thought

And from this worldly life, you'll soon depart

Steppin' to the M-Ilitant and Black Thought

And from this worldly life, you'll soon depart
