SHOUT OUT TO MY DISCIPLES DANTE AND VEE
MILTON: YOU CAN SUCK A SATYR DAWG
HEY D.J., PLAY THOSE LYRES, YEAH YOU KNOW WHERE IT'S AT

SING, SING, SING, O HEAVENLY MUSE
CUS THE ORIGINAL G 'BOUT TO BLOW UP LIKE A FUSE
BRINGIN' THE REVELATION THAT NONE CAN REFUSE
THAT I INVENTED THE FORM THAT YOU MAY ONLY ABUSE

SCATTER, RUN, GO HIDE BEHIND YOUR MOM
MY PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE NUCLEAR BOMB
MY BOYS FOUGHT IN EPICS, YOUR DAD CRIES ABOUT 'NAM

CALM DOWN, BITCH, I ONLY TOY
MY SWAG LAUNCHED MORE SHIPS THAN HELEN OF TROY
SO COME NOW, LISTEN CLOSELY TO THE RHYMES I DEPLOY

-BREAK IT DOWN-

I'M IN YOUR DICTIONARIES, DEFINITION OF EPIC:
DACTYLIC HEXAMETER, YEAH YOU BETTER RESPECT IT

ALL OF YOU LESSER POETS EACH BELONG TO A NATION
BUT MOTHERFUCKER I INVENTED WESTERN CIVILIZATION

WHILE YOU DELIVER THE WORLD PEON AFTER PEON
I BROUGHT HEAVEN TO EARTH AND GAVE IT THE PANTHEON

QUAKE BEFORE THE WORK THAT IS TRULY OVERPOWERIN'
KNOW WHY DANTE ALIGHIERI HAD TO HAIL ME SOVEREIGN

GO HOME KIDS, REST, INDULGE IN YOUR LITERARY FAD
KNOW THIS: THE GAME'S HASN'T BEEN AS REAL SINCE THE MOTHERFUCKING ILIAD.

ON YOUR WAY OUT BLUSH, WAVE AND GIVE ME A CURTSEY,
LITERATURE'S THE JOURNEY THAT BEGAN WITH THE ODYSSEY

DEAD AT FIFTY FIVE. ALIVE FOR MILLENIA.
