Facing Jared Bridgeman is like facing the 54th Regiment Your rap battalion’ll get injured coming in Like battle cats. See Ak’ and then they’re leaving like [?] The lyrical, African, star-throwing street ninja Got you glamourous niggas stranded like ginger Hip hop needs a new Avenger. Yes, my name Is Jared, but I’m not no pretender. Nerve-bender Emcees who want to bring calamity: chill. I’ll bring The horror like Amityville. And, from my quill, comes An arrow in the form of a rhyme to pierce your bone Marrow while informing your mind. And when you’re looking for The culprit, it’s too late. I’ve been gone with The Akrobatik steez like Lynn Swann, the human Steel Curtain giving emcees a real hurting Who want to test the skills but they don’t feel certain (Live, live, live, live) [Hook 1: Samples with Scratches by DJ Sense] “Come on, y’all” - Sample from Mos Def on De La Soul - "Big Brother Beat" “Akrobatik” - Sample from Akrobatik - “[?]” “Get live” - Sample from Mos Def on De La Soul - "Big Brother Beat" “Come on, y’all.

Akrobatik’s in the vicinity Along with me is hip hop’s holy trinity: beats, rhymes And life. Coming to extract the trife And slice like a knife through all your rhyme cyphs Encasing feeble souls in bronze, experimenting on Their brains to find out why they turn to pimps, hoes, and Johns (What?) Break their intellectual bonds and shit Is cool like The Fonz, bygones is bygones My style swarms like Hornets, but not from Charlotte The emcee is Ak’, the reaction is: aww shit! Coming with the force of fifty thousand mosh pits Waving my index like Mutombo when I toss shit Live (Live, live, live). I get live. I will survive Akrobatik never taking no dive—that ain’t no jive, yo [Bridge 1: Akrobatik] (Live, live, live) Yo, Mr. Akrobatik gets (Live, live) I refuse to not get (Live, live, live) Yo, yo, yo, we’re getting (Live, live) Yo, yo, we bring the [Hook 1 (Overlapped with Hook 2): Samples with Scratches by DJ Sense] “Get live” - Sample from Mos Def on De La Soul - "Big Brother Beat" (x4) [Hook 2 (Overlapped with Hook 1): Akrobatik] (x4) (Skills) 2, 3, 4 [Verse 3: Akrobatik] Yo, I’ll push through like the date of my birth Constantly on the rise like the state of my worth Rotating like the weight of the Earth on its axis You want the recipe, so you sent emails and faxes But you’re denied access—it’s classified Anybody said that Ak’ came wack? Their ass is lying That goes for college professors, lovers, rappers, and crowds I ripped through every one of them and left without a shroud Of evidence. My shit thumps through ghetto residence I see you backing up and I can understand your hesitance It’s only natural to feel some apprehension Because I got a master’s degree in wack prevention (What?) And if you need to reach me, let me mention It’s 1-8-8-8-TRUESKILL—here’s my extension 24/7 365—that’s The time that Akrobatik gets (Live, live, live, live) [Hook 1: Samples with Scratches by DJ Sense] “Come on, y’all.
