Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You ever dance with the Devil under the pale moonlight?
Desperados, traveling
What the fuck's up, son?
Do this, word up, we do this
[Verse 2]
Spend too many nights on the Henny, getting right
Breaking big face bennies, betting against the friendly type
I can't call it, it's going too good to spoil it
Tell it like it is, the raw should never be boarded
[Verse 3]
Too many nights on the Henny, getting right
Breaking big face bennies, betting against the friendly type
I can't call it, it's going too good to spoil it
Tell it like it is, the raw should never be boarded
[Verse 4]
At a 1000 degree celsius I make MC's melt
Fuck my record label, I appear courtesy of myself
Let me explain how I maintain thresholds to pain
I walk across the sun barefoot lookin' for shade
I rearrange your rib cage like a 12 gauge at close range
And change the position of your brain
Me hards raps penetrate through your hardhats and all that
****, get ya wig peeled back
I scalp you like the Indians on horseback
Running bull will hit you harder than running back
Stunning man with brave and cunning rap
Swiftly running laps around 48 tracks
Like uncut crack, you fiends keep coming back
Heads is flipping like acrobats on gym mats
From wax to analog tapes to digital DATs
It's critical black, that Canibus is ill like that
[Verse 5]
In fact, perhaps you should quit rap, instead if always tryna to diss back
'Cause **** keep telling you that your shit's wack
I rip raps, hardcore raps rushing you to the floor mat
Put you in the figure four, break your thorax
Jump off the top turnbuckle and land on your back
Till I hear it snap or crackle, the ref says chill black
You get clapped bringing the wrong raps to combat
Like bringing a paint gun to a shoot out with real gats
You all **** is wack, rapping over microphone feedback
My intelligence begins where yours peaks at
From fox boogie in the see-through brassiere, to nasty Nas here
My **** nature'll explain it further if it's not clear
[Verse 6]
Millionaire look at the sky make sure it's still there
Ice grill stares and my jewelry is in every year
Pierre Cardin back in a dapper Dan time
Now flex, game of wrecks, fox trot, Van Klein
[Verse 7]
Initiated to the firm shit, real thugs learn quick
Sit back and feel the ultimate hit
Initiated to the firm shit, real thugs learn quick
Sit back and feel the ultimate hit
[Verse 8]
Yo lock in, do the knowledge, follow the doctrine
We clockin', on your airwaves, keepin' it rockin'
Blaze up, big fire, light your purple haze up
Betcha tired bitch ass **** need to be caged up
So raise up fuck the playin', I'm sick of layin'
I can picture sprayin' off an SK, shells ricocheting
Snatched up, in supreme court, eyes half shut
Co-defendant caught a life sentence seem him crack up
[Verse 9]
React what? Who will? Bail to mill
**** cool, still bet I'll be home before the news will
Blast fuse and leave purple Frank Matthews
Perhaps you confuse the concept black, cash rules
Incog-ged, another had more deez involved
Know freeze condo seize seven keys dissolved
Daily routine, speakin' up for **** who sling
Hand to hand on them street corners claiming you king
It's time to lock this, join with us, let your Glock spit
Guzzle the toxic, only fake **** drop snitch
Get your guns out, it don't take much for me to dumb out
Play one route, lay ya shit down and run south
[Verse 10]
What's the cause of this shit? More statistics
Deeper than the law of physics, Malibu sand and gorgeous bitches
Weed from 1-2-5, my whole crew live
A true desperado, one that never choose sides
And show sympathy, just QB, an entity
Stock exchange, top of the game, watch you mention me
Image is nothing just obey you thirst
I blaze the purple haze sit in a daze, then display your birth
[Verse 11]
For those concerned or just eager to learn
I speak for the firm, was zoned and keep the Cheeba to burn
Stashing my riches, past traditions, like olympics
Pass the torch, flip shit so y'all could picture my thoughts, I'm drifting
It's type ill waking up, looking like filth
20 years younger, same hunger, same ice grill
Genetically form grade A pedigree
Born to carve rhymes, a swift tongue helped to set it free
Theoretically, peep how we bless this, young and restless
Guns and Westins, leaning to connect through lessons
From cool feats to camps, **** shoot back
It's a proven fact, nine-seven's mine, y'all **** move back
[Verse 12]
Too many nights on the Henny, getting right
Breaking big face bennies, betting against the friendly type
I can't call it, it's going too good to spoil it
Tell it like it is, the raw should never be boarded
[Verse 13]
Too many nights on the Henny, getting right
Breaking big face bennies, betting against the friendly type
I can't call it, it's going too good to spoil it
Tell it like it is, the raw should never be boarded
