[Intro: Pat Juba]
Yo, man
I don't even be knowing what be going on these days
You know, niggas just want to hop in the car and get they cruise on, you know
Without taking a 101 course
End up smashing and crashing
Ain't dealing with justice, they've been a slave from birth
They don't even value rebellion, you know?
I can't even understand that shit, man
Fuck's going on these days, yo?
[Verse 1: Pat Juba]
I deal with tenets of this culture
Militant, non-apologetic pillars of structure
Eat, sleep to rupture
Tenants of militant tenement buildings
Generals, foot soldiers who peddle metal artillery, chivalry
Parallel my zone to Monk or Mingus when I embrace
Facing a malice rugged as moon patrol
Graceful, violent imperial, break the status quo
Studio EKG, mic's ignite with volatile insight
Delight and disturb, corrupted children, Pits of pitch black enlighten
Lighting your spectrum clearly, crystal official CD
Vinyl be blazing freely
You leg buy in thus in lust
Tree of life, losing life, bruising mic's, living trife
Balance right, over the pitfalls, central force, mental force
Intercourse, no remorse, killing'em
Drilling'em, invisible entities peeling'em
Science applies to many things, fill helium
Fearing this, skills go back like step pyramids
Going up hills with anvils, never backslid
Struggling, juggling, jugular veins be flying
Burning your zone like sniffing lines of red cayenne
[Chorus: Sept Sev Sev Two]
Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils
Tell them, within the spectrum the passion is Tenfold
Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils
Tell them, within the spectrum the passion is Tenfold
Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils
Tell them, within the spectrum the passion is Tenfold
Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils
Welcome
[Verse 2: Gene Poole]
I've lost jobs, girlfriends, even some squabs
Like the time my white friend yelled GD in front of some slobs
We got clobbered
Why should I have to wear a collar to get dollars?
By the power of the almighty father
I walk in bothered, and ask my boss for extra hours
Would I be a coward If I jumped from the 30th floor of the tower?
You damn right
I've scoured streets on the quest for fresh beats
Made B-boys some of my best peeps
Word to Cess, rest in peace
'Cuz my niggas may be elite, and I made my niggas
Wait 'til after winter when we're partying on the river
Give a brother a little bit of freedom of mindstate
Fuck a rave, we'll be out on the lake jumping waves
I think of something real grave when I see one of those rappers
And leap from the rafter like a viscous raptor, and go for the capture
No need to wait until after the math is done
Niggas diss me, I heat up at the tip like a freshly blasted gun
Rolling with this cast is fun, 'cuz we in this flick together
So we stick together, unlike bitches who switch up with the weather
My way is better, I think logically
You're too emotional with your choreography
Get the fuck from in front of me
[Chorus: Sept Sev Sev Two]
Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils
Tell them, within the spectrum the passion's Tenfold
Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils
Tell them, within the spectrum the passion's Tenfold
Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils
Tell them, within the spectrum the passion's Tenfold
Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils... Welcome

[Verse 3: Sept Sev Sev Two] **20th Anniversary Remastered**
Extractions, separate your fluid from the matter
What's the matter? release your beasts out to the pasture
Golden Aster, Egyptophilia, Symbolization
Death passed you far away and I ain't feeling ya
Seeping the gasses, filling glasses
With liquid soul capsules, actions, laced with craft
It's the pleasure, diversion, submerged in MC perversion
Caving in the urges and disturbances
Turkish blends, UPC encoded 2-for-1 explosions
Frozen lids, involuntary eyes open
Styrofoam in microphone, I never liked your tone of voice
When you address me, plus you don't impress me
Tell a friend, if Charlton Heston can play the mexican
I guess you can play the Darth Vader sayer, hater
I'll tell you what, here's a post it note
So you can go list all of your MC achievements in chronological order
You'll take a walk-walk, too many sparks fought
But all you really do is talk-talk, that's what i thought-thought
You ought not exaggerate the stamina
Face the camera so I can catch a before and an after
[Chorus: Sept Sev Sev Two] **20th Anniversary Remastered**
Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils
Tell them, within the spectrum the passion's Tenfold
Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils
Tell them, within the spectrum the passion's Tenfold
Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils
Tell them, within the spectrum the passion's Tenfold
Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils...
Welcome to where pride is broken
[Outro: Sept Sev Sev Two] **20th Anniversary Remastered**
Yo, I think you're hungry because you're starving for flavor
Flavor most, put it on your toast
Eat it, and chew it, and swallow it down
And follow the sound, and swallow your pride
612, Mineappolis, Southside
