Lyrics Investigative Reports - GZA the Genius feat. Chef Raekwon, Ghostface Killah & U-God
Here
we
go,
come
on
"A
battle-A
battle
was
fought,
in
Brooklyn..."
"Hessian
Soldiers
killed
3,
000
men;
much
of
the
fighting
took
place
in
what
is
nowProspect
Park
in
Green-Wood
Cemeteryas
well
as
the
Park
Slope
and
Gowanusneighborhoods."
"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
trying
me
Gun
slingers,
dead
ringers
Yo,
my
slang′s
out
of
this
world
Mix
collaboration
man,
little
man
and
his
girl
Way
of
life
got
me
thinking,
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
Guyanese
Word
up,
hold
your
head
before
you
fall
out
The
morgue
route,
the
devil
want
that
Let's
get
my
niggas
locked
all
out
Change
for
better,
that
be
my
only
vendetta
With
life,
feed
your
seed
right,
he's
breathing
indeed
right
Chef,
remarkable,
sparkable,
raps
and
tackable
gats
Never
get
jacked,
see
ya
then
move
black
Paradise
trife,
plush
with
much
ice
Getting
nice,
laying
back,
sleep
all
my
life;
word
up!
"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
the
children,
investigative
reports!
Calling
all
cars,
calling
all
cars!
Ghetto
Psychos,
armed
and
dangerous,
leaving
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
ends
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
from
Spofford
Rolling
like
Kaufman,
and
laid
that
ass
out
like
carpet
Stop
the
stuttering
boy,
save
complaints
for
the
five-oh
Then
praise
the
God
– chk-a-chk
POW!
They
release
shots
and
premeditate
to
grab
And
then
they
jet
back
to
the
lab
And
then
remain
in
Shaolin,
an
endangered
island
Where
shorties
lose
blood
by
the
gallons
"Have
integrated
a
number
of
corrupt
cops,
judges
...into
high-level
positions,
to
insure
the
continued
Success
of
the
drug
smuggling
and
money
laundering
operations"
Crack
patients,
dime
smokers
Vial
carriers,
mocha
tokers
Burnt
buildings,
brothers
building
Save
the
children,
investigative
reports!
Yo,
I
grab
the
pen
for
revenge
and
let
loose,
see
Like
Muslims,
standing
on
the
block,
rocking
a
kufi
The
hundred-dollar
kick
rocking
kid's
back
for
more
Starting
gun
wars,
with
black
Reeboks
and
Velours
Jungle
way
of
life,
living
villain
Packed
with
visions,
copywritten
Throwing
bread
to
pigeons,
Christ
has
risen
King
Elegant,
slang
master,
jack
expensive
noodle
hats
In
sixty-nine,
old
timers
time
that
brothers
shot
craps
The
baggy
blue
Guess
jeans,
pull
strings
off
in
Palm
Springs
I′m
locked
in
the
bing,
Rocky
ring
labelled
rap
king
The
corner
emperor
– the
golden
thieves
play
the
benches
Rednecks
be
hanging
big
niggas
down
in
Memphis
Back
in
Now-Y,
hit
the
bull's
eye
with
loaded
nines
Life
is
like
Tarzan,
swinging
from
a
thin
vine
Shatter
dreams,
then
mirrors
don′t
need
a
press
spirals
Aim
at
the
white
shadows
with
big
barrels
Of
Moet-ers,
the
bald
headers,
milk
and
Armarettas
Who
fear
none,
crushing
all
personal
vendettas,
yo
They
use
guns
while
we
angrily
shot
arrows
You
better
keep
your
eye
on
the
sparrow
Rugged
rhymsters,
crooked
crimesters
Dime
droppers,
Twenty-five-to-lifers
Backstabbers,
low
blowers
Illegal...
cocaine
growers
Starvation,
profanity
Anxiety,
brothers
trying
me
Gun
slingers,
dead
ringers
