intro:
Now
this
one
is
dedicated
to
the
good
the
bad
and
the
desolated.
and
the
Roots
crew
you
know
them
lyrically
orientated
program
you
lose
in
life
Instantly?
we're
like
acid
we
burn
you.
watch
a
rude
bwoy
now.
Black
thought:
Yo
you
should
see
some
of
these
cats
that
vocalize
They
get
props
from
they
local
guys
and
try
to
raise
Speaching
through
the
mic
like
yo
I
apologize
They
blind
and
wasn't
as
wise
and
fail
to
realize
the
com-
Plectual
sexual
side
of
the
rhyme
When
I
make
love
to
the
mic
the
crowd
respond
Your
promoter
love
the
vocal
over
dub
when
I
control
the
club
So
throw
your
hands
up
in
the
air
show
your
love
We
waste
not
the
bangingest
beats
but
make
use
The
roots
get
you
open
like
parachutes
Yo
who
in
the
house
only
deal
with
hip
hop
that's
authentic?
Back
to
renovate
your
state
of
mind
for
a
minute
It's
i,
bad
lieutenant
represent
fine
lye
Delphia
empire
fifth
dynasty
Your
third
eye
couldn't
wait
for
you
to
relate
to
what
I
activate
While
the
fake
spectate
I'm
less
then
immpressive
for
beyond
stressin'
And
battle
as
a
reveloutionary
adolescent
But
now
in
the
present
with
fake
masters
of
ceremonies
yo
that's
phoney
You'll
get
capped
with
colonial
force
that
of
a
cannon
Examinin
the
compact
disc
to
start
rammin'
To
put
the
diagram
in
effect
and
get
fly
On
immature
mc's
who
try
Wake
'em
up
outta
they
high
school
high

Yo

look?
I
mash
up
the
scene
Malik
b
(m-illa-tant):
I
blast
off
the
roof
to
prove
she
lay
in
there
blazed
Enslaved
by
the
soundwaves
as
the
skills
amaze
Insight

type
annalitic
cause
I
live
it
My?
brow
pivot
over
your
style
like
give
it
The
lyricism
I'm
contemplatinng
your
neighborhood
or
legion
Brutalize
your
section
stalk
your
whole
region
When
you
blink
it's
hell
then
you
drink
sifendale
You
wonder
what's
goin'
inside
of
my
thinkin'
cells
We
bomb
like
militias
I'm
trying
to
stack
riches
Look
first
comes
the
money
the
power
then
the
(?)
They
all
will
bring
you
down
but
I
milliant
the
sound
With
a
bargaid
of
pirate
raps
that's
running
through
your
town
Surrounded
by
a
wise
dome
my
ledge
knows
horizons
I
keep
at
a
distance
confused
and
feel
cyclones
You
know
I'm
trying
to
make
it
because
I
probably
take
it
Hustlin'
stickin'
pickin'
it
or
scrape
it
Tracks
appeal
that's
why
I'm
trying
to
mack
a
mil
I
stay
sedated
worth
a
zantac
that's
a
pill
It
gets
hectic
that's
why
niggas
try
to
exit
Stress
relates
to
those
who
walk
around
protected

outroduction
Go
ask
your
girl
inside
my
world
is
the
duction
No
frontin'
finger
on
the
button
of
destruction
Play
nice
like
entice
and
keep
your
styles
on
the
hush
and
Step
inside
the
illafifth
dungeon
Where
it
smells
of
pungent
The
underwater
the
brotherly
lovin'
Where
crabs
get
knocked
out
respect
from
Brought
back
to
the
lab
were
the
scientist
will
dissect
'em
The
old
heads
sniffin'
start
bitchin'
when
we
testin'
Interupting
my
class
when
my
class
is
in
session
Was
when
I
manifestin'
or
come
to
teach
a
lesson
What's
inside
of
my
dome
I'll
have
all
you
clones
guessin'
Lets
begin
as
the
color
gets
tossed
in
with
the
pen
It
feels
good
that's
when
you
know
it's
a
sin
Everytime
I
rhyme
I
might
get
charged
for
murder
Slicing
your
back
with
rap
turn
a
brain
into
burger
Lyrically
I
shot
with
radioactive
waves
Like
kolby
and
big
kev
on
fridays
Your
styles
older
than
dolo
we
on
the
top
of?
Claim
to
gettin'
over
but
you
ain't
makin'
quota
