Never Missin' a Beat

Listen up, learn, you'll get your turn

I'm sendin' this out to all it may concern

The party master Everlast is here

Before we begin I'm gonna make this clear

I don't take no short cuts, Bilal adds dope cuts

If girls were around I'd grab and grope butts

And if she got a man and he tries to step up

It's ashes to ashes and dust gets swept up

Tryin' to step to me, boy, you must be sick

Got a nine in my pocket, takin' heads out quick

I make my music loud, my parents proud

There's not an artist alive drawing a better crowd

Than the Everlasting operator droppin' a groove

To make you get up and dance while I bust this move

And talk about myself, I don't need a partner

Bilal has the cuts then I'll help start the show

Let a lyric flow and you'll know

I make you jump up out your seats, scream and say, "Ho"

You fall back down completely exhausted

Once you had the sound but now it seems you lost it

You're worn out, you can't take no more

Since Everlast and Bilal took control of the floor

So jump out your seat, move your feet

'Cause the beat's complete, I'm never missin' a beat

Never missin' a beat, never missin' a beat

Never missin' a beat, never missin' a beat

There's no need for askin', I'm the Everlastin'

My mind is a poll and I'm gonna cast in

The ocean of words and pull out a new rhyme

And if it feels good then I'll do it two times

Or maybe three, four, or even five times

When I'm done Bilal cuts up my rhyme

He's my partner, not a stand-in

On a 'Highway to Heaven' just like Mike Landon

And when it comes to battles my boy's a sure win

He's been in more scandals than J.R. Ewing

Busted up more parties than five-o

When it comes to a fight my boy's good to go

So step on stage, we duke it out like men

I beat you down with every word that flows out my pen

[Incomprehensible]

And I was the Green Hornet Bilal'd be Kato

Right by my side kickin' up dust

And if a sucker acts stupid, grab my gat and bust

You can't run away 'cause my clip holds ten rhymes

If you been beaten once, I'll beat you ten times

Worse than you ever been beaten before

I don't drop my mic unless my throat gets sore

And that don't happen because when I'm rappin'

My rhymes'd beat Gregory Hines if they was tappin'

So jump our your seat, move your feet

'Cause the beat's complete, I'm never missin' a beat

Never missin' a beat, never missin' a beat

Never missin' a beat, never missin' a beat

Never missin' a beat, never, never missin' a beat, never

Ain't it funky, ain't it funky

Lyrical and linguistic, somewhat artistic

Some call me a devil, others call me

Mystical like a crystal ball

And if you step to me you'll take a fall

Just like the Roman Empire

Feel the wrath of a devil's hellfire

Callin' me a devil, some think it's a diss

To me it's just a name, it's not stones and sticks

You can't hurt me, I got a positive outlook

Readin' my good book or maybe some philosophy

Like Socrates and Plato

Step to me with drugs I just say no

But I'll drink some lemonade if it's wilder

I'm down with DLC and the Styler

The Div Einstein of rhyme is down with me

'Cause he knows that I'm on my way

I will not stray

From the path of knowledge that'll earn my pay

I think for myself, I take advice

And if I did it wrong once then I do it twice

I check my steps, make sure they're correct

And that's why me and DLC get respect

So jump our your seat, move your feet

'Cause the beat's complete, I'm never missin' a beat

Never missin' a beat, never missin' a beat

Never missin' a beat, never missin' a beat
