Extra extra hear all the bad news
About the wacky-wack mcs and the ones like you
Because I've done everything that you have tried
And I've been accepted where you've been denied
I'm the m a r the q u I s
Here to run down a rhyme at your request
I'm the new york born who's sharp as a thorn
I came here tonight just to get it on
So listen up close and listen up well
Cause the brother marquis has a story to tell
This is a story about an m c
Who got real brave and challenged me
He thought that he was bad
He thought he was tough
Until I what until I called his bluff
And as the battle began his rhymes got weaker
You couldn't even hear his voice come out the speaker
And as he started to get ignored
The party people turned and walked off the floor
They did not applaud and they did not cheer
And homeboys just said
Get the fk outta here
So as I cracked a smile and started to laugh
I could see the sucka duck muthafka gettin mad
He had a frown on his face
He was hotter than fire
He wasn't competition but just a little biter
So as he turned and walked away
With his head to the ground and nothin' to say
Cause he was busted disgusted
And couldn't be trusted
He tried to battle me and found self-destruction

I met this girl named kisha
The daughter of a preacher
I met her in school and we did it on the bleachers
The kids were in gym as I went for a swim
I rocked her so good until she wanted it again
That was jet-set so soft and wet
Now kisha's on my tip
And that you can bet
Until one day I got caught in the act
With my girl named melissa from a few days back
Kisha done called me up and asked me to explain
She said I played with her heart like it was a game
She said why I couldn't deny
She said don't lie then she started to cry
But kisha was yearnin to be de-virgined
She told her father
And he preached her a sermon

My name is kid ice
Gemini is my sign
From the time I started rappin
Your title was mine
I started in the west
Brought back to the east
Got about my man luke who unleashed the beast
In me for oh so long
I was put down
Forced by others to listen to their sound
Til the time has come as
I proclaim to you
All you sucka duck rappers
Your era is through
You call yourselves kings
That is only a dream
You need style and ability to make a team
So ya better come hard
And come correct
Cause every weak rhyme ya bring I will reject
So go back home and learn to write
But don't come back 'til ya say it right
So while you're still there lookin stupid in the face
Ya better get lost with ya pat-pat bass
