"Uh. And it weights a ton/ 'riq geez motherfuckers I'm a son of a gun. Black master of any trade under the sun/ Talk sharp like a razor blade under the tongue. clear my path and come get your captain hung/ Trying to breath like black'll collapse your lungs. Young chump you could choke off the web I spun/ I done cleared 'em out from the threat I brung. You done heard about what set I'm from/ My nigga, word-a-mouth little rule-a-thumb. Y'all better bow down when the ruler come/ I'm a real hood nigga not a hood-a-lum."

"Focus, flawless. New York to Europe/ To lands where my feet ain't even touch the soil yet. What a movement, the rap solution/ It thumps so hard, we got 'em world wide usin them. Tracks from Black for satisfaction/ The role of captain played by Samuel L. Jackson."
