'MC': Mad Child, 'Pre': Prevail >
( DJ Babu cuts up )
'Ventilate'
'Swollen Members'
'Dart-spittin'
MC> Man, I can't believe I have to go through all of this again
I gave you your position Pre> What, I thought we were friends?!
I didn't ask, you offered, you're short-tempered and demanding
It's my energy on stage that makes our show so outstanding
MC> Look, when we first hooked up, my first thought was you're a pansy
You couldn't rap on beat, you little four-eyed geek
Pre> Yeah? And at the club there's a reason we don't hang out that much
You're double-fisted with two Heinekens actin like a lush
MC> That's better than a leech, I tried to teach you to be tough
I guess it's hard to squeeze strength out of a cream puff
Pre> Oh you're rough? MC> Yeah, that's right Pre> Hey, let me pass you a pen
So you can fill an application at the Hair Club for Men
CHORUS (2X) >
MC> I meant everything I said Pre> Everything I said I meant
both> When there's much on the line, yo, there's times you gotta vent
'Ventilate'
both> We're magnificient together, it's a perfect combination
Pre> Man, you know how many times I've had to swallow my pride?
Put my feelings aside so that we wouldn't collide?
MC> I know I'm hard to get along with and much harder to work for
But I'm breakin my back while you're hangin out at the bookstore
Pre> Yeah, but when I'm there I'm readin Icarus, kinetics in English
So when we make songs at least our music sounds distinguished
MC> Come on man, I made this happen, you don't appreciate shit
Pre> Yeah? MC> I'm the one who hustled, yo, you never put in one cent
You're dead-set in your ways, your stubborness Pre> What?
MC> How you think we got this far, it didn't happen from luck
Pre> If I had a buck for every kid I battled and slayed
I'd had enough to start my own edited> record label anyway
CHORUS (2X) >
MC> I hope you realize these songs weren't made for free Pre> Man, I know
But once the cash comes back you can recoup your dough
MC> Yeah bro, but you ain't even signed a contract Pre> No, that's wack
MC> I could get stabbed in the back Pre> You should know better than that
MC> Well, it's frustrating to me, I got a lot on my plate
Pre> Well, you're the one who put it there, I thought we already ate
MC> Alright look, where was I back three years ago? Pre> Mininum wage?
MC> That's right, and where we at now? Pre> Yeah, different page
MC> OK, what's the significance of the point I'm tryin to make?
both> We sound magnificient together Pre> so let's drop this whole debate
(How many states?) MC> Not many (How many countries?) Pre> Plenty
(How old are both of y'all?) both> Let's just say we're in our twenties
(How'd you come up with the name Swollen Members?) both> Drunk at Denny's
(Any last words?) both> Step up and you'll get kicked to the curb
Pre> We're strippin your verse, we're rippin, you're a both> victim of words
both> We're both putting in work tryin to get what we deserve
CHORUS (2X)>
