Long Time Coming (1998 Unreleased Album)

0

[Intro: Sample Quote from The Godfather Part III (1974)]
Michael Corleone: Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in
[Hook: K.A. the Verbal Shogun and (Oddbrawl the Lyrical Juggernaut)] (x2)
(I got your back). Got yours. Shots is poured
Around-the-way beef, worldwide wars. Biters
Get bagged, we gain ground iron-clad
Enemies surrender, wave the white flag
[Verse 1: Oddbrawl the Lyrical Juggernaut (AKA Kev)]
No surrender, no retreat (No retreat), but word to those
That creep hand-to-heat. Me and my peeps played for keeps
On the street, keep the chrome (Keep the chrome) around the way and far
From home. On my own, got the shit to crack your dome to y’all
Foes trying to rush, face caught flush
Nickel nine, I’ll bust. Asses turn
To ashes, dust to dusk to dawn, we get it on—be gone
Shutdown from the corner that warned ya
Next step for those who slept is the foreign NBs that
Play no more, no longer delaying the war, blazing
Your door—ass better be playing the floor
TEC-9 on some blind shit (On some blind shit)—fuck who’s behind it
Ricochet off a flower pot, leave you and your moms hit
[Hook: K.A. the Verbal Shogun and (Oddbrawl the Lyrical Juggernaut)]
(I got your back). Got yours. Shots is poured
Around-the-way beef, worldwide wars. Biters
Get bagged, we gain ground iron-clad
Enemies surrender, wave the white flag
[Verse 2: K.A. the Verbal Shogun]
It be
The technician—name given ‘cause I be TEC-spitting
Moving-target-hitting, accurate precision. Thugs
Rearing their ugly heads duck down, here come the Feds—dash
Not fashion, but photograph, now they know your staff
Do the math in daze. Baby on your ass
Kick in your door, now you’re rushing to flush the raw—too late
Get on the floor, could spark the four-four—make a decision
Took long, so they tackled you. Tried to act a fool
Got your arm bent up before they shackled you, then made
A spectacle, kicking trash receptacles into the testicles
I’d have smacked you and said, “Act professional.” Took to
The station, cell-pacing, heart racing, still basing
Join our nation, a dark day is what you’re facing
(Dark day is what you’re facing)
[Hook: K.A. the Verbal Shogun and (Oddbrawl the Lyrical Juggernaut)]
(I got your back). Got yours. Shots is poured
Around-the-way beef, worldwide wars. Biters
Get bagged, we gain ground iron-clad
Enemies surrender, wave the white flag
[Verse 3: Oddbrawl the Lyrical Juggernaut (AKA Kev)]
Together on this quest (On this quest), holding me down like Smith
And Wess’, enemy’s taking a bullet to his chest. Suggest:
If you ain’t got the same frame of mind
Walk a straighter line, it could save the time
As long as it keeps ticking, I’m loading up these clips in
For slips of the lips and enemies—listen, we here/hear
The pop of the Glock, ready to rock, ready to drop hints
To go against Nightbreed, might bleed
We’re flipping
[Interlude: K.A. the Verbal Shogun]
(We’re straight like) death and dollars, death and dollars (What?)
[Verse 4: K.A. the Verbal Shogun]
Death and dollars go hand-in-hand in this land of corruption
Enemies I stay busting, now cops’ll say nothing
Life’s hard. Living on the brink of beef, I don’t think, move on instinct
Prove this battleship’s hard to sink. Y’all niggas
Plummet. We gon’ come with the slum shit
NBs’ll be around long as our name’s on our stomach
[Hook: K.A. the Verbal Shogun and (Oddbrawl the Lyrical Juggernaut)] (x2)
(I got your back). Got yours. Shots is poured
Around-the-way beef, worldwide wars. Biters
Get bagged, we gain ground iron-clad
Enemies surrender, wave the white flag
