No Retreat (feat. B-Real)

(Tell the enemy, no surrender and no retreat)

(No surrender and no retreat)

(No surrender and no retreat)

(No sur-surrender, no, no surrend')

(No surrender and no retreat)

(No surrender and no retreat)

(No surrender, no, no surrender and)

(No surrender and no retreat)

(And no retreat)

(Y'all ready?) Yo, ayo, potent

Straight-up with the force to keep fightin'

Samson, Atlas, Colossus, Titan

In the dark night, the torch steady lightens

I'm strong, cast iron heart of the lion

A mighty foundation to a tower of power

With the energy needed to turn the seed into a flower

Fortified type, sturdy sound constructions make rappers duck down

Like I'm Boogie Down Productions

(Buck, buck, buck, buck)

I can tell they're weak, delicate

It ain't hard to sell when I speak

Over rock hard breaks, never brittle, little beats

See me on Rap City, BET, spit graffiti

Present a full spectrum of flavors that's robust

Dilated Peoples, my brother, we gon' crush

Leave up support, insulate your stage

I got self control, but can't hold the rage

Many a products, gimmicks with time limits

I give you what you want, plus put my mind in it

Rakaa Iriscience, trained to go the length

I'm an all-terrain think tank to full strength

(Tell the, the, the e', the enemy, no surrender and no retreat)

Stand my ground, dig in with both feet

No surrender, no turnin' no cheek, no retreat

Stand my ground, dig in with both feet

No surrender, no turnin' no cheek, no retreat

Stand my ground, dig in with both feet

No surrender, no turning no cheek, no retreat

Stand my ground, dig in with both feet

(No surrender and no retreat)

(Uh, uh, yo, worldwide)

From great heights, we take Paris by night

Yeah, L.A. by day, in sonic dual delay, SP tight

Twelve hundred, TEC me, chop cuttin' free

Detonate the drums, heat the plastique

That's a dangerous man, who can speak with his hands

Watered-down lyrics on dirty tracks turned to sand

To sink in, better watch the X that you're inking

Or on, who disrespect and step on my lawn

Pass the gate, insulate till sound deadens

1210 in debt, never met Chapter 11

My fam's my strength, my pops, I got my aim from

Ready any cues and T-Ray bangs I'm writin' from

Once for breath, the rest, as you feel it

Fuck what you've done, you've got skills, reveal it

Team with Iriscience, pro's to flows (No retreat)

I risk my life on flights for hype shows

Rest assured, vaccines are far from cures

Implant some new shit that hit me two weeks into tour

But I'll adapt, guaranteed make it through

Evidence (Iriscience), and my man, Babu

(Worldwide)

(Dilated)

(Told all these corny mother fuckers what a no retreat sounds like)

Stand my ground, dig in with both feet

No surrender, no turnin' no cheek, no retreat

Stand my ground, dig in with both feet

No surrender, no turnin' no cheek, no retreat (That's right)

Stand my ground, dig in with both feet

No surrender, no turnin' no cheek, no retreat

Stand my ground, dig in with both feet

(No surrender and no retreat)

Never givin' up, never givin' in, never holdin' back, never runnin'

No cowardly acts jumpin', no retreat

Constantly movin' ahead, and ain't the same

The psychological, diabolical scheme for later

They're itchin' now, my haters

The flavor is gone, cater to those

Lyrics are bomb, savor the shows, wait for the pros

Beats made it with flows hated by foes

Never surrender your soul and roll with the cold

Others are makin' but sadly mistakin' the straight broke

In the end with no cheddar or bacon that's left poked

Pictures afloat over remote notes and potent mics

Break you up, put you in the pipe, light you up

Into the night, shadows are running around, people step out of bounds

Creep and step outta bounds, you watch a **** get put to sleep

But never recover, never surrender, I know you hate it

Quitters get eliminated fuckin' with Dilated

(To the enemy, no surrender and no retreat)

(No surrender and no retreat)

(And, and, and no retreat)

(No surrender and no retreat)

(No, no, and no retreat)

(No, no, no surrender and no retreat)

(No, and no retreat)

(No surrender and no retreat)

(No, no, no sur', and no retreat)

(It's Dilated, y'all, ha)

(Ha, ha, ha, ha)
