See if opportunity knocks, then I’m on it

Keep it on the up and up but don’t flaunt it

Wanted for tearin’ the club up, rippin’ the microphone

and merkin’ any beat cuz I’m known as the strongest

candidate to challenge the pecking order

even when I’m not sober I’m still getting’ over

Over and over again

it’s a sobering trend cuz I’m always in it to win

and not get a chink in my armor

you meet me – it’s a blessing and an honor

other way around – that’s farthest from the truth

and since I’m the truth, my reign is ab-so-lute

I check rappers and keep it on the up and up

Bless mics and keep it on the up and up

When I strut my stuff, peeps recognize I got the skills

to keep it on the up and up

I check rappers and keep it on the up and up

Bless mics and keep it on the up and up

When I strut my stuff, peeps recognize I got the skills

to keep it on the up and up

Recruit twenty rappers against me

I’m a San Jose Shark on a feeding frenzy

Thought provoking lyrically and never condescending

never dumb you down don’t you know you got plenty

intelligence – don’t abuse it, use it

The studying you’ve done is never futile or fruitless

Basically I got the ways and means

to make committees say that I’m way too clean

still some rappers think I’m so placid

then I go and burn ‘em like sulfuric acid

envious haters are everyday existence

so I stay shinin’  and handle my bidness

Keep, keep, keepin’ ‘ya blinded by the realness

Droppin’ bombs purposefully so you can feel this

Holla at ‘ya boy –cuz I keep it on the up and up

over this Schmick beat called Wanderlust

I check rappers and keep it on the up and up

Bless mics and keep it on the up and up

When I strut my stuff, peeps recognize I got the skills

to keep it on the up and up

I check rappers and keep it on the up and up

Bless mics and keep it on the up and up

When I strut my stuff, peeps recognize I got the skills

to keep it on the up and up

It’s all good and y’all should take this in

De ja vu’ – I went and did it again

Bringin’ light to the populous

Droppin’ bits of knowledge as I elevate your mental plane

Of understanding.  Renowned throughout town

Break it down and bring you back up with a pound

Like yeah, we straight – straighter than a ruler

King of all I survey – Slick Vic the Ruler

Evaluate the elements of life and strike fear

In the hearts of the haters and the cowards in the atmosphere

Cuz it’s clear that I reverberate greatness

And never slip, trip or regenerate fakeness

Everytime I rhyme you get the latest and the greatest

Save this for heavy rotation on your playlist

My rhymes?  I always stay true to ‘em

This for y’all, let’s all ball in unison

I check rappers and keep it on the up and up

Bless mics and keep it on the up and up

When I strut my stuff, peeps recognize I got the skills

to keep it on the up and up

I check rappers and keep it on the up and up

Bless mics and keep it on the up and up

When I strut my stuff, peeps recognize I got the skills

to keep it on the up and up

Up and Up – Up and Up

Up, up and away – Up, up and away!

Up and Up – Up and Up

Up, up and away – Up, up and away!
