Lyrics
0:05Yeah to all the Jim Carrey a** large co op
0:09What I'm saying large co op what the f**k
0:13To the clones we bless the domes
0:17Blow the vial you know my style large co op
0:21Freestyle all the way son
0:22Dice
0:24First of all let's talk about these ill capers
0:26And fly a** fronting b**ches that now caught vapors
0:29Niggaz run up on you with guns snatching papers
0:32Outlined body chalk is how they would scrape ya
0:34From off the pavement I hate getting locked up
0:37Cause that upstate bus reminds me of the slave ships
0:39But then the bible never saved sh*t
0:42I guess that's why every juvenile is in the same predicament
0:45You wanna slang crack or hold tecs and do the concept
0:48You can't make loot when your moms is smoking up the product
0:50I try to tell ya don't let these streets f**king fail ya
0:53The way niggaz be getting clapped sh*t'll f**king scare ya
0:56But in the dark we ran wild so we killing em
0:58Niggaz scared can't stand still like f**king helium
1:01Fake niggaz they don't go platinum they go aluminum
1:03Got em cloned the f**k up son that's why we losing em
1:06I'm looking at this niggaz longevity
1:08To make a big play but then it might be a mistake
1:12Cuz if I get sent to d c I'm sending dice to de
1:14With three p's so when I get out he can see me
1:17For real cuz the streets is filled with snakes and rats
1:19The snake will be that b**ch and that rat will be that cool cat
1:22With swollen pockets we gonna take you back home
1:24Master allah rule savior never clone
1:37Yo I use the mic to slap you in the face and erase your taste
1:40Disgrace your date put your title to waste
1:43Dominant lyrical grace from a place called wild
1:46Illadelph isle pensy that's the residency
1:48Consist in currency my pockets never empty
1:51Some cats believe they MC but we know they all fraud
1:54Do a show in philly niggaz wouldn't applaud
1:56Nobody know your record nor who you opening for
1:59Can tell your squad's artificial while approaching the door
2:01So you should prepare for lyrical terror that's pure
2:04Step up to the reservoir of the soul proprietor style
2:07Messiah or the higher law down with dice raw
2:10The matador shorty conniseur
2:12Stomping whatever you build to the floor
2:14Similar to that of a dinosaur
2:16I told you I'm the rap predator
2:18You insist to imitate what for
2:20Superstar niggaz is ten percent real ninety percent invented
2:23For a f**king record deal
2:25Coming with something veterans can't feel
2:27I hit you like a steel anvil
2:28Because you grafted off the next man's skill
2:30But still I remain mellow seeing the theatrics of Othello
2:34Run over tactics of the
2:36C l o n e s fess
2:39The phoniest cats is felonious word
2:52Dice raw the juvenile lyricist corner store terrorist
2:55Block trooper conniseur of fine cannabis
2:57Focus never weak blow up the spot like plastique
3:00Leave a ni**a shook to the point he won't speak
3:02Never half assed always live and direct
3:05On b**ches try to punk smell the panty and raw sex
3:08Mad lights I had to black out when fake niggaz act out
3:11Or step out of place they get slapped in they face
3:13All y'all niggaz is fake trying to emulate my style
3:15What grown man in this game to me you're a child
3:18I trained wack MC's in camps like ex marines
3:21Why the f**k you think you went home and had bad dreams
3:23Of horrifying things that your a** never seen before
3:27You traveled to the realm of dice raw
3:29Where clones get they dome blown with chrome microphones
3:32It's not your fault black just the fact you wasn't shown
3:34You'll come through this like a smurf
3:36I got you rolling stop off the earth
3:37Represent while I been like this since birth
3:39And I won't be the last but I definitely was the first
3:42Dice raw big car Logan's isle sol dier
3:56Don't come across that line or pay a cost
3:58Knuckle games and hammer cocked ain't nothing sweet or soft
4:01Win lose or draw to the jaw take one
4:04Deranger lyrical launcher or station
4:06No conversation is needed my task completed
4:09Read a ni**a up and down in the cut where I'm seated
4:11Snatch you from your cloud of cannabis you ignoramuses
4:14You laid on your lap when I attack your glamorous
4:17Lifestyle I banged your head up with the white fowl
4:20My character a product of this two one fifth trife style
4:22I breeze through areas niggaz would fear to walk in
4:25Balance the talking that galactic style as of a falcon
4:28Your star trek a** will wrinkle
4:29Spill these words and form into a sprinkle
4:31Cap you're brought up and the name of twinkle
4:33My insight will crack the windpipe of y'all niggaz
4:35Whether small middle sized or tall niggaz
4:38Just tie your name next when I start to x
4:41Giving out flex pains of death so f**k a rain check
4:44The insane vet whether you ganked the brain wet
4:46You proceed to lame check the opposite of same sex
4:49I annihilate your type if you violate
4:51Making your blood rush you post never a higher rate
