See if opportunity knocks, then I'm on it
Keep it on the up and up but don't flaunt it
Wanted for tearin' the club up, rippin' the microphone
And merkin' any beat cuz I'm known as the strongest
Candidate to challenge the pecking order
Even when I'm not sober I'm still getting' over
Over and over again
It's a sobering trend cuz I'm always in it to win
And not get a chink in my armor
You meet me – it's a blessing and an honor
Other way around – that's farthest from the truth
And since I'm the truth, my reign is ab-so-lute
I check rappers and keep it on the up and up
Bless mics and keep it on the up and up
When I strut my stuff, peeps recognize I got the skills
To keep it on the up and up
I check rappers and keep it on the up and up
Bless mics and keep it on the up and up
When I strut my stuff, peeps recognize I got the skills
To keep it on the up and up
Recruit twenty rappers against me
I'm a San Jose Shark on a feeding frenzy
Thought provoking lyrically and never condescending
Never dumb you down don't you know you got plenty
Intelligence – don't abuse it, use it
The studying you've done is never futile or fruitless
Basically I got the ways and means
To make committees say that I'm way too clean
Still some rappers think I'm so placid
Then I go and burn 'em like sulfuric acid
Envious haters are everyday existence
So I stay shinin' and handle my bidness
Keep, keep, keepin' 'ya blinded by the realness
Droppin' bombs purposefully so you can feel this
Holla at 'ya boy –cuz I keep it on the up and up
Over this Schmick beat called Wanderlust
I check rappers and keep it on the up and up
Bless mics and keep it on the up and up
When I strut my stuff, peeps recognize I got the skills
To keep it on the up and up
I check rappers and keep it on the up and up
Bless mics and keep it on the up and up
When I strut my stuff, peeps recognize I got the skills
To keep it on the up and up
It's all good and y'all should take this in
De ja vu' – I went and did it again
Bringin' light to the populous
Droppin' bits of knowledge as I elevate your mental plane
Of understanding. Renowned throughout town
Break it down and bring you back up with a pound
Like yeah, we straight – straighter than a ruler
King of all I survey – Slick Vic the Ruler
Evaluate the elements of life and strike fear
In the hearts of the haters and the cowards in the atmosphere
Cuz it's clear that I reverberate greatness
And never slip, trip or regenerate fakeness
Everytime I rhyme you get the latest and the greatest
Save this for heavy rotation on your playlist
My rhymes? I always stay true to 'em
This for y'all, let's all ball in unison
I check rappers and keep it on the up and up
Bless mics and keep it on the up and up
When I strut my stuff, peeps recognize I got the skills
To keep it on the up and up
I check rappers and keep it on the up and up
Bless mics and keep it on the up and up
When I strut my stuff, peeps recognize I got the skills
To keep it on the up and up
Up and Up – Up and Up
Up, up and away – Up, up and away!
Up and Up – Up and Up
Up, up and away – Up, up and away!
