Lyrics

[ human mix machine wise ]
My name is wise supreme and I don't eat pork
I reside in chilltown but came from east new york
From a time of bein broke to a life of luxury
Stay in the house or you won't see much of me
But when I'm out I go to brooklyn just to chill and max
And from my head to my toes I wear all black
No, I'm not a criminal, playin with my digital
Lay back in my chair while collectin my residuals
Cash that I made during winter, summer, fall, spring
But gettin dissed by a foe is just a small thing
Rememberin the time I was goin to a talent show
I saw my ex-partner who's now a foe, you know

Anyway, the brother said hi, cool
This took place in jefferson high school
I was here to observe all the talented acts
He was there to try to battle, here's the facts
Was sittin in my seat, the host grabs a mic
'Stet's human mix machine versus essence tonight'
I said, 'what? who set this up?'
The crowd started goin crazy as they start to erupt
Between every act of people doin their show
Essence got on the mic and said, 'wise, let's go'
I didn't wanna battle, why waste my time?
He got on stage, kicked beats while his mc started rhymin
