Cuz I m the host with the most.

Knowledge. When the mind accept facts
On this plane of livin, knowledge be the key, black

Phife:
Analyze. That s what I do to MCs
That be talkin bout they this and that, money please
Ego. I m on my own jock skill
Cuz if I don t say I m the best, tell me who the hell will
