Others write your rhymes while I write my own
I don't create a character when I'm on the microphone
I am myself, no games to be played
No script to be written, no scene to be made

Wit, confidence and craft lead this page, on 2 of the 11 lines each. Ten are lyrics and one is an interview line. Several come from the album Eyes on This (including Shut the Eff Up! (Hoe), three lines) and Lyte as a Rock (including 10% Dis). Not everything is combat. Poor Georgie is a warning to say you love someone while you can, and 10% Dis insists on writing your own rhymes and not creating a character on the microphone.
The grace as I ease across the stage
Bars around the audience, sort of like a cage
They laugh, 'cause they assume I'm in prison
But in reality, they're locked in
If you love someone, you should say it often
You'll never know when they'll be layin' in a coffin
Wake up, it's important that you know that
No one on Earth is promised tomorrow...
Do not say shit till you write your own rhymes

Thirty days a month your mood is rude
We know the cause of your bloody attitude

My competition, you'll find them in the hospital
It’s amazing what a kid can learn in the company of adults and just listening to them talk.
If a rap can paint a thousand words, then I can paint a million
Wait, Lyte is capable of painting a bazillion raps
'Cause I hate when one attempts to analyze
In fact, I despise those who even try
To look into my eyes to see what I am thinking
That dream is over, your yacht is sinking

You get around like a cab, now that's too bad
Everyone has been in you, isn't that sad?
Bodily you're vivacious? Don't make me laugh
Weight Watchers is waiting, here's a free pass
In 10% I popped your head in a microwave
I'm into blenders now, so you better behave
