Shocklee - sadler - ridenhourI got so much trouble on my mindI refuse to loseHeres your ticketHear the drummer get wickedThe crew to you to push the back to blackAttack so I sat and jappedThen slapped the mac(intosh)Now Im ready to mike it(you know I like it) huhHear my favoritism roll ohNever be a brother like to go soloLazer, anastasia, maze yaWays to blaze your brain and train yaThe way Im livin, forgivenWhat Im givin upX on the flex hit me nowI dont know about laterAs for now I know how to avoid the paranoidMan Ive had it up to hereGear I wear got em goin in fearRhetoric saidRead just a bit agoNot quittin thoughSigned the hard rhymerWork to keep from gettin jerkedChangin some waysTo way back in the better daysRaw metaphysically boldNever followed a codeStill dropped a loadNever question what I am God knowsCause its comin from the heartWhat I got better get some(get on up) hustler of cultureSnakebittenBeen spit in the faceBut the rhymes keep fittinRespects been givin hows ya livinNow I cant protect a pad off defectCheck the recordAn reckon an intentional wreckPlayed off as some intellectMade the call, took the fallBroke the lawsNot my fault theyre fallin offKnown as fair squareThroughout my yearsSo I growl at the livin foulBlack to the bone my home is your homeSo welcome to the terrordomeSubordinate terrorKickin off an eraCold deliverin painMy 98 was 87 on a record yoSo now I go broncoCrucifixion aint no fictionSo called chosen frozenApology made to who ever pleasesStill they got me like jesusI rather sing, bring, think reminiscebout a brother while Im in syncEvery brother aint a brother cause a colorJust as well could be undercoverBackstabbed, grabbed a flagFrom the back of the labTold a rab get off the ragSad to say I got sold down the riverStill some quiver when I deliverNever to say I never know or had a clueWord was heard, plus hard on the boulevardLies, scandalizin, basinTraits of hate whos celebratin wit satan?I rope a dope the evil with righteousBobbin and weavin and let the good get evenCmon downAnd welcome to the terrordome.Caught in the race against timeThe pit and the pendulumCheck the rhythm and rhymesWhile Im bendin emSnakes blowin up the lines of designTryin to blind the science Im snedin emHow to fight the powerCannot run and hideBut it shouldnt be suicideIn a game a fool without the rulesGot a hell of a nerve to just criticizeEvery brother aint a brotherCause a black handSqueezed on malcom x the manThe shootin of huey newtonFrom a hand of a nigger who pulled the triggerIts weak to speak and blame somebody elseWhen you destroy yourselfFirst nothings worse than a mothers painOf a son slain in bensonhurstCant wait for the state to decide the fateSo this jam I dedicatePlaces with racist facesJust an example of one of many casesThe greek weekend speech I speakFrom a lesson learned in virginia (beach)I dont smile in the line of fireI go wildinBut its on bass and drums even violinsWatcha do gitcha head readyInstead of gettin physically sweatyWhen I get madI put it down on a padGive ya somethin that cha never had controllinFear of high rollinGod bless your soul and keep livinNever allowed, kickin it loudDroppin a bombBrain game intellectual vietnamMove as a teamNever move aloneButWelcome to the terrordome
