Lyrics
0:20Yea we gettin' ready to break y'all it's winner take all
0:23The game is locked we down to the eight ball
0:25The time is now it ain't nothin' to wait for
0:28I'm a king by blood a soldier by nature
0:30I'm somethin' like a threat to y'all space cadets
0:33'Cause you never met brother nothin' like me yet
0:36So push another slice into your toast and tighten your vests
0:39Cause it's a warrior you seein' here tonight in the flesh
0:42I give you somethin' high voltage double dosage
0:44Runnin' with these vultures givin' me ulcers
0:46Which one of these hustlers bringin' the thunder
0:49Riq geez not another man takin' us under
0:51Ni**a please which philly cat doin' his own thing
0:54Might say black my give you a code name
0:57Round my neck see the microphone hang
0:59Have your lady lips singin' like on soul train
1:02The niggaz that's a problem is minimal margin
1:04The colonel captain lieutenant general sergeant
1:07Black one man army move in on your squadron
1:09You sittin' still you know you a target
1:11You heard you better duck down
1:13See me comin' better tuck those chains
1:15Cause you don't wanna feel them thangs
1:17If you want it you can get it baby
1:20You know you need to get low
1:22Duck down duck down
1:24See me comin' better tuck those chains
1:25Cause you don't wanna feel them thangs
1:28If you want it you can get it baby
1:30You know you need to get low
1:32Duck down duck down
1:33Yea we gettin' set to get rid of y'all that's what it's headin' for
1:36The underdog knuckle and brawl with the bigger ball
1:38I spit what your wig absorb sicker than sycamore
1:41I'm creatin' a circumstance that you a victim of
1:43The rebel or the renegade out on the quest
1:46The super black man runnin' wit a s on his chest
1:49And stand for the straight struggle to escape the stress
1:51You think it's sweet tryin' to eat you ain't taste this yet
1:54So make y'all steps precautious into the darkness
1:57Thoughts cold and heartless makin' me nauseous
1:59Gettin' more remorses for what I done
2:01If the lawyers and courts wonder what I run
2:04You see the liberty is free but just for some
2:06How you a gangster and you scared to bust your gun
2:09For the call trust your fam' and trust nobody at all
2:12Seein' brothers gettin' struck down
2:14You better duck down
2:15See me comin' better tuck those chains
2:17Cause you don't wanna feel them thangs
2:19If you want it you can get it baby
2:22You know you need to get low
2:24Duck down duck down
2:26See me comin' better tuck those chains
2:28Cause you don't wanna feel them thangs
2:30If you want it you can get it baby
2:33You know you need to get low
2:35Duck down duck down
2:36I can feel somethin' for sure I've been up in here before
2:39A gladiator in a colliseum ready for war
2:41That old timer holdin' his revolver set to blow
2:43Just like a gladiator at whoever stick his head in the door
2:46And one who been through it all anything go
2:48Rather give it to you straight 'stead of speakin' in codes
2:51'Cause man that b******t can get you riddled with holes
2:53If you ain't insured than the hospitals is close
2:55You got to go up town while ya leakin' on the ground
2:58In cases like these you need to duck down
3:00You're five dollar toys I'm a million dollar man
3:04Esquire 'riq geez go according to plan
3:06I'm thinkin' outside the box off the blocks
3:08An outside your concept of time off the clocks for real
3:11Well it's black thought your boss dj
3:13However you brothers weigh that's what ya gonna pay
3:16See me comin' better tuck those chains
3:19Cause you don't wanna feel them thangs
3:21If you want it you can get it baby
3:24You know you need to get low
3:26Duck down duck down
3:28See me comin' better tuck those chains
3:30Cause you don't wanna feel them thangs
3:32If you want it you can get it baby
3:35You know you need to get low
3:37Duck down duck down You better duck down
