[Verse 1]
Yo, the bare facts make 'em take Flight like Air Max
Hyperdermix raps, share it and you'll both have tracks
Dope man supply fire to wax, push your wigs back
Hit ya like a tall cat, make ya relapse
Never before have ya ever heard this level of raw
My metaphors touch down like the hammer of Thor
Knee deep into the war, sirens and gats roar
Livin life, ragin bull, life's the matador
I soar Above the Law, branded illegal
They still rush my door cuz I'm power to the people
Sharp as an eagle's claw, certified lethal
Keanu Reaves can't match the Speed I exceed to
Crash the party, make 'em jump like KenEvil
I take cash in advance and blast off on retrieval
[Chorus: Ghostface Killah sample]
"Check the bangin sounds that I invent, marvelous...
Check--check, marvelous...
Check the bangin--the bangin sounds that I invent" - Ghostface Killah
[Verse 2]
Yo, yo, I can't, won't, don't stop rocking to the rhythm
Dropping wisdom for my niggas locked in prison
For those on the streets, rock it in your system
One's resting in piece, in my heart you're livin'
Representing all those who ain't got a pot to piss in
Went from small timer to a top position
I'm not kidding, so what? Radio's not mixin
While shots lickin, niggas on my block listen
To the Uncontrolled, mentally hold you P.O.W
Coming through, up to no good, ain't no love for you
Chameleons play the wrong side of the fence
Switching like Clark Kent when the drama commence
Ladies and gent's, my poetry's beyond intense
Find me in the trench, while you hold your spot on the bench
Best invest in me, favored heavenly
INS, address me, as your excellency
Successfully defending my belt with first rounders
Where close friends get treated the same as out-of-towners
[Chorus: Ghostface Killah]
"Check--check--check--check the bangin sounds that I invent...
Check--check--check--check--check--check...
Check the bangin--the bangin--the bangin...
The banging sounds--sounds that I invent" - Ghostface Killah
[Verse 3]
Yo, Jurassic insides, I rise above the norm'
Urban icon, riding on the eye of the storm
Veteran form, spaz like memories of 'nam
Duckin bombs on the rendezvous with Miss Saigon
Calm assassin, showing my face so they can know
When on Beatstreet, I paint a picture like Raymo
On the lay-low, making dough, aiming to blow
Got a way to go, so I'm just taking it slow
From the Shao' borough, throwing the thoroughbred flow
Echoin from the ghetto, throughout the metro
'Bout to let it go, give me some room to elbow
Watch bitches stick to a nigga like velcro
Yo, the plan is to grab what I can within my reach
Expand like the crystal white sands that fill the beach
With my hand on the piece, one eye is on the beast
Through the rhyme I teach history class and move the mass
[Chorus]
I can't, won't, don't stop rockin to the rhythm
Dropping wisdom, for my niggas locked in prison
For those on the streets, rock it in your system
Once restin in piece, in my heart ya livin, livin'
I can't, won't, don't stop rockin to the rhythm
Dropping wisdom for my niggas locked in prison
For those on the streets, rock it in your system
Once restin in piece, in my heart ya livin, livin'
[Outro]
The names and the faces have changed, but the game is still the same. Understand it brothers and sisters. We need a man to open our eyes. We need a man to make us hear again. We need a man to make us live again and I'm telling you that black men is in America today. Look at us, dun
We are making them victims of a cruelty. And he is destroyed us. So forgive us for our ignorance. Well, give us Christ coming, but reach your hand out to us as a brother as we reach our hands up to you as a brother and let's unite the black man
