[Will Smith] 
Original - a first form from which varities arise 
An authentic work of art as opposed to an imitation, or reproduction 

[Verse One: Will Smith] 
Why should I try to sound like y'all sound? 
That's what's wrong with the rap game right now 
Man it's like a circus with a bunch of clowns 
With a bunch of cliques I'll probably rap circles around 
I spit heat rock, and I ain't talkin rollin 
Soon as the beat knock I'm crown controllin 
When I hear y'all that's an awful sound 
I don't ride beats, I take 'em off the ground 
Land 'em somewhere, show 'em the town 
Even on foreign ground let 'em know I'm around 
I don't follow e'rybody when it's time to rap 
At one time e'rybody thought the world was flat 
Sounds like you? That was my intention 
I paid dues, now dudes pay attention 
I live for it, even though the flicks is hittin 
Crib's sick, you can see the booth from the kitchen 
Speak on it, cause I saw it happen 
This is hip-hop, dawg I ain't just rappin 
Y'all lookin at a real MC man 
You couldn't check a mic from me 
 [bad word]  Will Smith] 
Why should I try to sound like y'all sound? 
That's what's wrong with the rap game right now 
Why should I try to flow, the way y'all flow 
or do a show like y'all show, nah that ain't where my head at now 
Y'all in the hip-hop lost and found 
That's what's wrong with the rap game right now 
Man it's like a circus with a bunch of clowns 
With a bunch of cliques I'll probably rap circles around 

[Verse Two: Will Smith] 
Let's talk about rhyme capability 
Let's talk about hip-hop versatility 
Let's talk about takin the game beyond 
How the [bad word] we gon' have a battle of wits? Trick you unarmed 
Let's talk about love for the game 
I mean real love, back before there was fame 
I'm real with it, I ain't claimin to reign 
But when y'all talk about rap, y'all gon' start sayin my name 
F'real though, I ain't playin 
Plenty of y'all love a brother, just scared to say it 
Yo, first ever rap Grammy 
Let's talk about the only reason yo' [bad word] went to Miami - yup!  [bad word] with rims - check; throwback jersey - check 
Champagne bottles - check; lots of models - [bad word]  
That's the list for 90% of y'all videos and songs 
I WRONG?! 
 [bad word]  

[Verse Three: Will Smith] 
Lost - when you a slave to the biz 
With no care for the cost of what you sayin to kids 
Found is when your lyrics are a test of time 
And your mind hear that your spirit is blessed divine 
Lost is when you rhyme 'til your throat gets sore 
But you don't even believe what you say no more 
Found is when you bleed heart into the mic 
And the pain you sustain it could change a life 
Lost is when you hide behind the freedom of speech 
Well sure you're free to do it, but what it mean to do it 
Did you mean to do it? Did you need to do it? 
Did you take time to think about the seed [bad word]  (HUH?) 
Found as Esco did, Pres and them 
Found Islam and Hill, found is Rakim 
Found can be you if you felt the message 
And ask yourself this question
