|
Yeah, you know my crew is thick |
|
Makin chicks go buckwild and act a lunatic |
|
I'm not a fugitive, hit me on my voodoo bip |
|
On the Hiero bus, smokin out the hookah wit |
|
Hydro bazooka shit, blowin out your mucus membrane |
|
Yeah, you can spit game, but who can explain |
|
How your woman in Spain with Miguel? |
|
Well his real life don't match the stories he tell |
|
Pedallin propaganda, wearer of the handcuffs |
|
In a plastic cell, look straight for the camera |
|
From Atlanta to Havana, they broadcastin "Channel Zero" |
|
I'm in your ear though, sort of like a black antenna |
|
I throw my hand up, body electric |
|
Receive God's blessings how I stay protected |
|
[cut and scratched] |
|
[Professor X] "This is protected!" |
|
[Opio] |
|
Nowadays young boys have to handle the fifth |
|
Like John Hannibal Smith, put the ammo in the clip |
|
Catch you in a alleyway, blam you in the rear |
|
Run up in your crib, go gorilla on your family |
|
And it ain't about a rap song, they do it for the cash homes.. |
|
.. what comes around goes around |
|
You might catch one if you own this town |
|
And that's well known so hold it down |
|
When you try to blame hip-hop, for who gets shot |
|
I point my finger at the President, it's his fault |
|
No amount of Harvard slick talk can pick apart that one |
|
Delinquents on the ave know what's happenin (uh) |
|
I throw my hand up, body electric |
|
Receive God's blessings how I stay protected, protected, protected |
|
[cut and scratched] |
|
[Professor X] "This is protected!" |
|
[Opio] |
|
Resistin as a seminal for centuries and evermore |
|
Spit it in a metaphor, get it at your record store |
|
Let's make it crystal clear, listen here |
|
Blood spilled on the battlefield or shed in a tear |
|
Recharge, reshape, then reappear |
|
Then reformulate before we commandeer |
|
It's the renaissance, from Port-au-Prince, to in the Bronx |
|
And back to Oakland, the wheels in motion |
|
We coastin - thunderfoot like a Clydesdale |
|
Rumble, young man rumble, I'll put your lights out |
|
Opio be groovin like Manchito and the Afro Cubans |
|
And that's cool then, T. Mass power movin |
|
I throw my hand up, body electric |
|
Receive God's blessings how I stay protected, protected, protected |
|
[cut and scratched] |
|
[Professor X] "This is protected!" |
|
[Opio] |
|
I expand like the verbal supercluster, so who could muster |
|
The force of impact, from my point of attack |
|
Live third rail on the subway track |
|
I'm in the tunnel like the Moleman, with mo' plans, to go back |
|
To flows that expose "Acknickulous" skill |
|
Not mass appeal, or abs of steel |
|
Or apple bottom like the ass on Beverly Peel |
|
I appreciate celebrity status it's all real |
|
But it's mo' about the cats in the lab and with no deal |
|
Who keep the fully-auto verses single-action ideal |
|
Yeah Hiero oh they straight, culture merchants we kill |
|
So throw your hands in the air, let the truth be revealed |
|
Yeah, body electric, protected, protected |
|
[cut and scratched] |
|
[Professor X] "This is protected!" |
