lyrics

WELL YOU KNOW WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU THEY GUNNA BRING A BASE BALL BAT


SHARPEN THE KATANA GET IN CHECK WHEN I BUST A FREE
CYPHER ON THE FOOTPATH HIT THE LAB AND SLAY THE BEAT
KNOW FOR CERTAIN I AINT EVER ONE TO FAKE IT
STAKE MY LIFE ON IT WHAT YA HEARINGS DONE IN ONE TAKE I
PLOT A PATH LIKE A SAILOR CIRCUMNAVIGATES
PILOT MY VESSEL WEAVING IN AND OUTTA CONSCIOUS STATE
CAN'T FATHOM A FRACTION WHAT I CONJURE UP
IN THIS CRANIUM SUSTAINING THOUGHTS OF HATE AND LOVE
I SIT ALONE AND LET THE VOICES KEEP ME COMPANY
THEY CAN BE DECEIVING LIKE WHEN TV CLAIMS REALITY - I
PLAY THE POSTIE DELIVER THE MESSAGE
FUNDAMENTAL LESSONS BASED UPON THE FOUR ELEMENTS
LIKE THE COPPERS WHEN THEY KICKIN DOWN A FRONT DOOR
I SPIT IT LOUD TELL EM IM THE ONE WHO'S STANDIN STAUNCH
STILL STANDIN EVEN WHEN THEY SAY TO HIT THE FLOOR
BROKEN BONES AINT NOTHIN IF ITS TRULY WHAT YOU FIGHTING FOR

WELL YOU KNOW WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU THEY GUNNA BRING A BASE BALL BAT


WE’LL SEE WHO’S LAUGHIN NOW WHEN I STUFF IT DOWN YA FUCKIN MOUTH
WHERE YA GUNNA BE 5 YEARS FROM NOW
CANT IMAGINE EVER BEING PUSHED ABOUT
NOW I STRIKE FIRST AND FAST TAKE THE ENEMY OUT
AND IF IM EVER IN DOUBT OF EVER LOSING A STOUSH
ILL COP IT ON THE CHIN INSTEAD OF RUNNIN MY MOUTH
I AINT PO-THETIC DUMB KIDDIES YOU DON'T GET IT
THIS IS FUCKIN BURN CITY MYSTIC TIPPYS CHURNING OUT THE PROJECTS
THAT’S MY PART TO PLAY BEFORE I FADE AWAY
DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY EVERY DAY
LIVIN IT UP LIKE A WISE MAN SHOWED ME NEVER DROP TO MY KNEES ILL GO BOLDLY
INTO THE NIGHT I CHEAT DEATH BECOME THE WATCHMAN
ROCK - THAT GRAND FATHER CLOCK KEEPS TICKIN ON
AINT STOPPIN EVEN IF THAT FAT BITCH SINGS
DON'T BELIEVE IN HEARSAY I TRUST INSTINCT

WELL YOU KNOW WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU THEY GUNNA BRING A BASE BALL BAT
