[00:01.92] | Songs Title:run for cover |
[00:03.23] | |
[00:04.97] | |
[00:20.01] | Run for cover. |
[00:29.50] | Here I go again, ready to flow again. |
[00:31.91] | Better hope my mic dont blow again. |
[00:33.66] | Warned by alarms when the mic gets warm. |
[00:35.91] | Crowdll get critical, cant keep calm. |
[00:37.91] | Jet for the exit, why hang around? |
[00:40.34] | Words that I found make the mic melt down. |
[00:42.52] | If you stay, better cooperate, cuz I amputate, |
[00:44.77] | And whoever dont break, im-a suffocate. |
[00:47.58] | Leave em with asthma, you better pass the |
[00:49.33] | Mic to the massacre master who has the |
[00:50.70] | Power to build and destoy at the same time, |
[00:53.51] | So track the wack at the right, and exact could |
[00:56.18] | Shine. |
[00:56.50] | Meant to beat overheat, but I wont stop, |
[00:58.44] | So evacuate the spot when the mics hot. |
[01:00.81] | Switch it from one hand to another, |
[01:02.74] | And thats a hint, my brother, run for cover. |
[01:05.11] | Cuz Im armed, my brain contains a bomb, |
[01:07.10] | As if I escaped from vietnam. |
[01:08.41] | Some people label me lethal, lyrics I made then put |
[01:11.23] | Beats to. |
[01:11.67] | Format, collapse your lungs twist your tongues, |
[01:13.47] | You cant bump your gums off of none of the drums. |
[01:18.34] | Words that I madell create an iller scene, |
[01:20.21] | Eric b. is the fly human being on the guillotine. |
[01:23.21] | Hook em up to a respirator, cuz its the mista |
[01:25.64] | Suffocator. |
[01:25.83] | What I write is like shovin a mic down your |
[01:28.76] | Windpipe. |
[01:29.02] | Dont let him bite rhymes rakim write. |
[01:31.19] | No mic-to-mouth resuscitation is neccessary; |
[01:32.32] | No obituary, and nothing left to bury. |
[01:36.19] | As it strikes on the same mic twice and then, |
[01:38.75] | Cut it on, and im-a strike again. |
[01:40.68] | I meditate off the breaks, till the place shakes, |
[01:42.68] | Then I make rain, hail, snow and earthquakes. |
[01:44.23] | Speak the truth, tear the roof off the mother. |
[01:46.79] | The stage is stompin grounds -- run for cover. |
[01:49.17] | Evacuate the building, danger, cuz I came to |
[02:01.50] | Explain the |
[02:02.56] | Strategy thatll be tragic automatically, |
[02:03.87] | Havin me to cause another catastrophe. |
[02:07.62] | All you gotta do is give rakim the |
[02:09.74] | Microphone and the crowdll yell timber. |
[02:10.99] | Buildings collapsin, rappers gettin trapped in, |
[02:13.04] | Areas closed off, no one gets back in. |
[02:16.04] | So set up roadblocks, barricade the doors, |
[02:18.04] | Fade, put a detour sign on the stage. |
[02:20.59] | Hold my microphone as evidence, the weapon I use |
[02:23.28] | And been usin ever since |
[02:24.84] | The days in the park when, rap was an art then. |
[02:27.46] | Plus I was dominant, determined and dark-skinned. |
[02:29.09] | Makin it hard to walk the streets at night |
[02:31.71] | For those who talk the weak beats on the mic. |
[02:34.07] | Whoevers livin large better wear camouflage. |
[02:35.52] | Prepare to be bumrushed when I yell charge. |
[02:37.51] | Surround by sound of the beat-down another brother, |
[02:40.63] | This is stompin grounds, run for cover. |
[02:42.69] | Wheels or foot, better not stay put. |
[02:44.99] | Whole place shook till the mics unhooked. |
[02:46.62] | Then youve got seven minutes to vacate the |
[02:49.18] | Premises. |
[02:49.42] | Lyricsll echo soon as the break finishes. |
[02:51.24] | Dont act wild, single file to the door. |
[02:52.86] | No need for an encore, just clear the floor. |
[02:56.11] | Cuz my mics about to self destruct, |
[02:57.72] | The stagell blow up when my rhymes erupt. |
[03:00.78] | So make sure the place is cleared out and abandoned, |
[03:03.04] | Cuz minutes from now it wont be standin. |
[03:04.90] | Then send out and a.p.b.: all poets beware of a |
[03:08.40] | Brother like me. |
[03:09.52] | Now how many rhymes could your man manufacture? |
[03:11.40] | How many bitin mcs can I capture? |
[03:13.51] | Trap rappers who try to run off at the mouth; |
[03:16.26] | Take over their route, play em out like a cub |
[03:18.45] | Scout. |
[03:18.69] | So leave troopin for mcs at war, |
[03:20.32] | And if its a battle let the crowd keep score. |
[03:22.68] | Cuz me and the drummer make drama, and thats word |
[03:25.00] | To mother...run for cover. |
