Intro/Outro: U-God
|
|
[here we go, come on]
|
[A, A battle was fought, in Brooklyn...]
|
[Hessian Soldiers killed 3,000 men; much of the fighting
|
took place in what is now Prospect Park in Greenwood cemetary,
|
as well as the Park Slope and Gowanas neighborhoods.]
|
[This was the first battle, of America.]
|
|
Rugged rhymsters, crooked crimesters
|
Dime droppers, Twenty-five-to-lifers
|
Backstabbers, low blowers
|
Illegal... cocaine growers
|
Starvation, profanity
|
Anxiety, brothers tryin me
|
Gun slingers, dead ringers
|
|
Verse One: Raekwon the Chef
|
|
Yo, my slang's out of this world
|
Mix collaboration man, little man and his girl
|
Way of life got me thinkin, plus I'm analyzing young
|
youths on roofs, you know, three time felony brutes
|
Roll together, tropical trees puff, whatever
|
Yo, we could go run up on kids for leathers
|
What drug? Faculties bubble keys for G's
|
Cream flow like seven seas, hit chicks Guayanese
|
Word up, hold your head before you fall out
|
The morgue route, the devil want that
|
Let's get my niggaz locked all out
|
Change for better, that be my only vendetta
|
in life, feed your seed right, it's breathin indeed right
|
Chef, remarkable, sparkable, raps and tackable gats
|
Never get jacked, see ya then move, black
|
Paradise trife, plush with much ice
|
gettin nice, layin back, sleep all my life
|
Word up!
|
|
Chorus: U-God
|
|
[The battle of Brooklyn depicted was the bloodiest
|
clash of the American revolution. Soldiers killed
|
3,000 men, much of the fighting took place in what is now...]
|
|
Crack patients, dime smokers
|
Vial carriers, mocha tokers
|
Burnt buildings, brothers building
|
Save yo' children, investigative reports!
|
|
Verse Two: GZA
|
|
Callin all cars, callin all cars! Ghetto
|
Psychos, armed and dangerous, leavin mad scars on those
|
Who are found bound, gagged and shot when they blast the spot
|
Victims took off like astronauts
|
Get with this, even your best can't
|
come on down, you're the next contestant!
|
Get your pockets dug from all your Chemical Bank-ins
|
Caught him at the red light - on Putnam Avenue and Franklin
|
They used to heat up the cipher with a shot that was hyper
|
than your average JFK sniper
|
He just came home to spark it
|
Rolling like Kaufman, and lay that ass out like carpet
|
Stop the stuttering boy, save the planes for the five-oh
|
Then praise the God - chk-a-chk POW!
|
They be lick shots and premeditate to grab...
|
...and then they jet back to the lab
|
And then remain in Shaolin
|
An endangered island
|
Shorties lose blood by the gallon
|
|
Chorus
|
|
[Have integrate a number of corrupt cops, judges...
|
...into high-level positions, to insure the continued
|
success of the drug smuggling and money laundering operations]
|
|
Verse Three: Ghost Face Killer
|
|
Yo, I grab the pen for revenge and let loose, see
|
Like Muslims, standing on the block, rocking a khufi
|
The hundred-dollar kick rockin kid's back for more
|
startin gold wars, with black Reeboks and Velours
|
Jungle royal life, livin villain
|
Packed with visions, copywritten
|
Throwin bread to pigeons, Christ has risen, King Elegant
|
Slang-Master jackets, expensive noodle hats
|
In sixty-nine, old times was time that brothers shot craps
|
The baggy blue Guess jeans, pull strings off of callin springs
|
I'm locked in the thing, Rocky ring labelled rap king
|
The corner emperor - the golden thieves play the benches
|
Rednecks be hanging big niggaz down in Memphis
|
Back in Now-Y, hit the bull's eye with loaded nines
|
Life is like Tarzan, swingin from a thin vine
|
Shatter dreams, then mirrors don't need a press spirals
|
Aim at the white shadows with big barrels
|
of Moet-ahs, the bald headers, milk and Amarett-ahs
|
Who fear none, question all personal vendettas, yo
|
They use guns, while we angrily shot arrows
|
You better keep your eye on the sparrow!
|
