Welcome To The Terrordome

This is a journey

Journey through sound

Would you join me, please, in welcome-in-ing—

I got so much trouble on my mind

Refuse to lose

Here's your ticket

Hear the drummer get wicked

The crew to you to push the back-to-Black attack

So I sack and jack and slap the mack

Now I'm ready to mic it

(You know I like it), huh

Hear my favoritism roll, oh

Never be a brother like, "Me go solo"

Laser, anesthesia, maze ya

Ways to blaze your brain and train ya

The way I'm livin', forgiven, what I'm givin' up

X on the flex, hear me now

I don't know about later

As for now, I know how to avoid the paranoid

Man, I've had it up to here

Gear I wear got 'em goin' in fear

Rhetoric said and read just a bit ago

Not quittin', though, signed the hard rhymer

Work to keep from getting jerked, checkin' some ways (Ways)

To way back in the better days

Raw, metaphysically bold, never followed a code

Still dropped a load

Never question what I am, God knows, huh

'Cause it's comin' from the heart

What I got, better get some

Get on up, hustler of culture

Snake bitten, been spit in the face, huh

But the rhymes keep fittin'

Respect's been given, how's ya livin'?

Now I can't protect a paid-off defect

Check the record and reckon an intentional wreck

Played off as some intellect

Made the call, took the fall, broke the laws

Not my fault that they're fallin' off

Known as fair and square throughout my years

So I growl at the livin' foul

Black to the bone, my home is your home

But welcome to the Terrordome

Come on down (Get down)

(Come on, you can get it, get it, get it)

Come on down (Get down)

(Come on, you can get it, get it, get it)

Come on down (Get down)

(Come on, you can get it, get it, get it)

Come on down (Get down, would you join me please in welcome-in-ing)

(Come on, you can get it, get it, get it)

So long now, have a good trip

Yo, yo, who put this thing together, huh? Me

Me, that's who

Who I trust? Who I trust?

Me, that's who (Would you join me please in welcome-in-ing)

Yo, who you trust, man?

Subordinate terror, kickin' off an era

Cold deliverin' pain

My '98 was '87 on a record, yo

So now I go Bronco

Oh, Chuck, they out to get us, man

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, Chuck, they out to get us, man

Yo, we gotta dust these boys off

Crucifixion ain't no fiction

So-called chosen frozen

Apology made to whoever pleases

Still they got me like Jesus

I'd rather sing, bring, think, reminisce

'Bout a brother while I'm in sync

Every brother ain't a brother 'cause a color

Just as well could be undercover

Backstabbed, grabbed a flag from the back of the lab

Told a Rab get off the rag

Sad to say, I got sold down the river

Still some quiver when I deliver

Never to say I never knew or had a clue

Word was Herb, plus hard on the boulevard

Lies, scandalizin', basin'

Traits of hate who's celebratin' with Satan

I rope-a-dope the evil with righteous bobbin' and weavin'

And let the good get even

Come on down (Come on)

But welcome to the Terrordome

Come on down (Get down)

(Come on, you can get it, get it, get it)

Come on down (Get down, Yo, PE, 1990, you know, all that, all that)

(Come on, you can get it, get it, get it)

Caught in the race against time, the pit and the pendulum

Check the rhythm and rhymes while I'm bendin' 'em

Snakes blowin' up the lines of design (Would you join me please in welcome-in-ing)

Tryin' to blind the science I'm sendin' 'em

How to fight the power, cannot run and hide

But it shouldn't be suicide

In a game, a fool without the rules

Got a hell of a nerve to just criticize

Every brother ain't a brother

'Cause a Black hand squeezed on Malcolm X the man

The shootin' of Huey Newton

From the hand of a nig' who pulled the trig'

Come on down

Come on down (Get down, would you join me please in welcome-in-ing)

(Come on, you can get it, get it, get it)

It's weak to speak and blame somebody else

When you destroy yourself

First, nothin' worse

Than a mother's pain of a son slain in Bensonhurst

Can't wait for the state to decide the fate

So this jam, I dedicate

Places with the racist faces

Example, one of many places

Greek, weekend, speech, I speak

From a lesson learned in Virginia

I don't smile in the line of fire, I go wildin'

But it's on bass and drums, even violins

Whatcha do? Getcha head ready

Instead of gettin' physically sweaty

When I get mad, I put it down on a pad, huh

Give you somethin' that you never had

Controllin', fear of high rollin'

God bless your soul and keep livin'

Never allowed, kickin' it loud

Droppin' a bomb, brain game, intellectual Vietnam

Move as a team, never move alone

But welcome to the Terrordome

Haha

Yo, look at you, look at you now

You ain't wanna listen to me

Now look at you

Diddly-doo-doo-brr-boo-boo-boo-bing

Wow, hahaha

Boing
