[Emcee(s): Tee Black, Chocolate Tye, Rambo, and Reverend Al]
[Producer(s): Rich Blak]
[Scratches: Rich Blak]
[Intro: Sample from [?]]
(*Evil laugh*) Haven’t you learned anything then from the mistakes of the past yet?
[Verse 1: Tee Black]
I stay strapped for some lyrical combat
Rap’s most wanted, they got my microphone tapped (Tapped!)
That’s why they got me under pressure, walking streets
With a vest under my leather, now my motto’s “whatever’s clever”
[Verse 2: Chocolate Tye]
Meanwhile
Tye shit on rappers like asses, fuck you and your status
Shadez will go classic before all you bastards
Some artists should have sold zinc, most talk before they think
Undercover pretties that be faking shit like lip-sync
[Verse 3: Rambo]
Boom! Rock-a-Glock, rock-a-cop knot, boom!
Position is assumed, Brooklyn Shadez in the room
Rotate like axis, maverick tactics that ain’t practiced
Bushwick fat shit get your cap split backwards
[Verse 4: Reverend Al]
As I’m doing lifetime, on the wake is mankind
I’ll write the murder shit that make the legend list of my time
Flipping instrumentals, putting current evidentials
Hijacking airwaves, the sound travels continental
[Verse 5: Rambo]
Hmm
Serpent subtitle, one strike is vital
You’re mad going through idle—blast that ass off your motorcycle
With deadly chemistry for brothers, who am I?
The S.O.B. for the way we build on society
Check these lyrical lunatics from Bushwick
Word is bond, on the norm, my crew gets mad sick
[Verse 6: Chocolate Tye]
For real, niggs never know what Shadez has concealed, so peep
The ordeal of skills we reveal towards your grill (Blow!)
[Hook: All] (x4)
This is the time of survival wars
You’re sure to get wet ‘cause, when it rains, it pours (‘Cause when it rains, it rains, it rains)
[Verse 7: Reverend Al]
A chemical reaction hit the corners like a cracked shin
Got Blacks and the Latins fighting for the fashion
It’s hectic, but, in the streets, I’ve learned to accept it
Although it’s fucked up when I see a brother ‘rested
[Verse 8: Rambo]
What up, boy?!? Approach and get schmoked with this mad boy
Deploy the android. Overjoyed? Now you’re unemployed
I’m all about the action and the reel/real of things, I chain-
-bang, gangbang, slang, come back like a boomerang
[Verse 9: Chocolate Tye]
“Status: the baddest”—come on, yo, that’s just that rap shit
Chocolate Tye flat your crews—watch ‘em miss like faggots
Out of sight, out of mind. Fall off, get left behind
Shadez shine, mangle rap artists like fucking K-9’s
[Verse 10: Tee Black]
Tee Black is lyrical rhyme child. Who would waste
This rap trial? They got shits locked down like Rikers Isle
It’s deadly plans once this mic’s in my hands
Poetical, incredible, capable to touch any man
[Verse 11: Chocolate Tye]
What?
Never on the humble. Don`t stutter, no mumble
Don`t “Love H.E.R.”—crumble your title, smoke it in the front of you
[Verse 12: Rambo]
While blunts got you open, can’t pass—your arms are broken
Never soft-spoken, I’ll leave your motherfucking chest smoking
[Verse 13: Reverend Al]
You better check your man with the evilistic plan
’96, no tricks, I’ll blow the bricks in the ‘SCAM
So take precautions—duplication is a warrant
I catch you snoring, front cover blown like spy informants
[Hook: All] (x4)
This is the time of survival wars
You’re sure to get wet ‘cause, when it rains, it pours (‘Cause when it rains, it rains, it rains)
[Outro: Sample from [?]]
And I’ll kill anyone who dares to go against me
