Favorite Things

[Blueprint] My favorite things include hip-hop crowds that ain't biased Seein heads participate in real rhyme cyphers Open mics with nobody spittin a written Original MC's that love being different [Illogic] My favorite things include, open minds to open mics and when I get open from rhymes that strike Creativity's a plus, plus an MC that can crush without a cuss and it's nice when a DOPE chick bust [Blueprint] My favorite is be -girls that pop and lock They're able to rock the spot, passers by that stop and jock Cats that come to a hip-hop spot without feelin the need to cop a glock and lick shots [Illogic] When a true MC spits raps composed of delicate prose on tracks and when it's felt by the masses Platinum respect lackin blunt ashes Battle clashes from the top to drop any approachin amateur When a challenger's up to caliber [Blueprint] MC's that shine without boastin MC's that rhyme with the motion Elevation without the high-postin MC's that never lose touch and do they own street promotion [Illogic] When an MC's spirituality is the point focal Minds bi-coastal, expandin beyond the local And when I'm chillin with the pen and pad, fillin the lab with vocals of melodic tunes that, reak of the underground perfume [Blueprint] When somebody I don't know gives me compliments Seeing humbleness replace overconfidence Hearin MC's that rap about the consequence instead of glorifyin a lifestyle that lacks any type of common sense [Illogic] The lack of wack rhyme writin, and rhyme bitin The ignitin of flames that fuel innovation Tappin into the realm of concentration to where the listener feels he's hopped dimension Lyrics to make aliens stop and listen [Blueprint] The absence of yellin on my mixtapes Any additional loops in my milk crates Record shops where I cop all my beat breaks Recordin every one of my verses on the very first take [Illogic] When the loop speed doesn't exceed 90 And to catch a line an MC must rewind me To know my mom's behind me That I make this my art, my culture, my release My outlet by means through which I reveal the beast [Blueprint] When my EPS doesn't overheat Rebootin and not lose an entire beat When somebody want to diss or underrate me I know this sounds strange, but it motivates me [Illogic] Stereo-stereotypes crushed, the shatter of grey matter Clutch the mic 'til it rust When an +Unforeseen+ kid bust In wild styles to thrust thoughts like rapids to rush [**both**] These are a few of our favorite things in hip-hop And there's a lot more where those came from, don't play dumb You know they're some of yours too And if not, jot some, serve 'em, and do your best to preserve 'em Our favorite things in hip-hop And there's a lot more where those came from, don't play dumb You know they're some of yours too And if not, jot some, serve 'em, and do your best to preserve 'em {*repeats in background: "These are a few of our favorite things.."*} [I] Yeah, yo, Blueprint and Illogic, yo (like this) [I] These are a few of my favorite things [B] These are a few of my favorite things [I] Yo, these are a few of my favorite things [B] These are a few of my favorite things [I] Nah nah, these are a few of my favorite things [B] Nah, nah nah these are a few of my favorite things [I] Nah Blueprint, these is a few of my favorite things [B] MAN!
