Silverbacks Lyrics by Masta Killa

...No Said Date (Mixtape)

2004

[Intro: Inspectah Deck]
One, two, one, two, the High Chief
Yeah... yo... so alone... baby

[Pre-Verse: Inspectah Deck]
I'm just lookin' out of the window
Watchin' the gunshots blow
Thinkin' how we all was turnin' out
Keepin' my head above water
Got to make a weight when I can ('cause I can)

[Verse 1: Inspectah Deck]
Temporary lay off, cop pay offs, daily rip offs
Informer tip off, clips lick off
The judge got hit off, boss got knocked off
Worker made a come off, cash got dropped off
Buildings got burnt out, sisters got turned out
Work out of the yard up North, tryna burst out
Pissy elevators, dirty cop favors
Tongues hiding razors, minors turn majors
Wave the bigger tools, shootout inside the school yard
The game ain't' changed, niggas done made their own rules
They buildin' plans, let's pull a million dollar scam
Watch for taped conversations, Jakes and dollar vans
The black market, labelled the movin' target
Dwellin' in the heartless projects
Evil eyes hawkin', the BBS rims flossin'
The beat walk in, harassin' the street walkin'
They keep talkin', like the Rebel might slow up
They set me up to go up, the witness didn't show up

[Pre-Verse: Masta Killa]
They got their drugs on em (slippin')
Bare approach the look out

[Verse 2: Masta Killa]
Be off the block by ten, the kite was sent
Then all those who dare to oppose were sent back
Chained to the train track, protect your jaw
These silverback niggas eat their oatmeal raw
Cee Allah sawed the shotti, Preme went down for a body
He killed Poppy, dusted in the lobby
Toxy off shocky, cops be harassin'
Tryna stop cash in the episodes pass
I flash back to guns and crack stashed in grass
You movin' savage
Please warn him of his ways and actions before I blast him
Then the homicide was justified when I arrive
Black tints on the glass with the stocking cap mask
It's all official, steel pistol style whip you to the gristle
While my team be stomping you out after the whistle

[Verse 3: GZA]
I went from the slums of Hell to paradise in Heaven
From a slingshot to a wall of MAC-11's
I drank with the Devil and ate with the Reverend
We talked numbers and I told 'em that mine was seven
The total amount of hits behind the collapsed building
That had exploded in a frenzy of killings
Bodies lay near tons of twisted metal
Of a structure and atomic force, it leveled
From the tale of the tape, the product failed in comparison
The weight, the height, the reach was not a year within
Sight, the significant, difference was the ammo
Wrecking y'all individuals in the nano
Second by second, heat blazed through the night
Leaving a dazzling array of neon lights
The primary reason of mission for them spitting
The fire that kept hitting them ducks that kept sitting
But the informants x-rays gave off electrons
Within a few next days, entire sets gone
Clinical precision's used to remove the eyelids
Those responsible for my brothers with high bids
Life in the hood is an award winning film
Lived out by savages who can't escape the realm
A place where the young meet and greet with guns
In the park they interrupt the pure innocent fun
