[length: 03:29]
[00:24.81]Look, my squad half-Mandrill, half-Mandela
[00:27.21]My band ’bout seventy strong just like Fela
[00:29.98]Yeah, part Melle-Mel, part Van Halen
[00:32.40]And we represent Illadel, where they still rebellin’
[00:34.95]Hey yo, Sicko show like Mike Moore
[00:37.35]My city ain’t nothin’ like yours
[00:39.05]Slippin’ into darkness like war
[00:40.66]Nightcrawl with the lights off
[00:42.58]You see a lot of life lost for the white horse
[00:45.12]Regardless, the charges makin’ us all targets
[00:47.52]All on the red carpet, guns from the black market
[00:50.23]Eh, who got the politicians in they back pocket?
[00:52.98]Pimp slap, pump that, give me that profit
[00:55.43]When you make contact, give me that gossip
[00:57.90]If you break contract, you’ll be that hostage
[01:00.62]They gettin’ busy and the city is raw
[01:02.63]Better dead bolt the door, it ain’t safe no more
[01:05.88]Southside get busy y’all
[01:08.27]Northside get busy y’all
[01:10.75]Westside get busy y’all
[01:13.29]Worldwide get busy y’all
[01:16.43]Get busy y’all
[01:19.07]Get busy y’all
[01:22.26]Get busy y’all
[01:24.85]Get busy y’all
[01:25.53]Approach with caution, be cautious, when talkin’ to bosses
[01:28.85]I feel I’ve been through a metamorphis
[01:30.64]I’m mutated by unknown forces, the feelin’ of course is
[01:33.70]Somethin’ that’s hard to describe
[01:35.86]I’m half-dead, never felt more alive
[01:38.07]Reborn, remove the gold coins from my eyes
[01:40.91]I’ve been down but now I’m back up
[01:43.58]I’m ’bout to act up, boy you better back up
[01:46.25]When you see me set up shop, know to pack up
[01:48.51]’Cause I crack up when a rapper get slapped up
[01:51.23]Number one reason y’all should give rap up
[01:53.41]Dice, it’s mines, I got it all wrapped up
[01:56.37]I’m kinda like W.E.B. DuBois
[01:58.49]Meets Heavy D And The Boyz, smooth as a Rolls Royce
[02:00.99]Built like a tank, smokin’ on dank
[02:03.29]Walkin’ through the Guggenheim, Raw Life, Black Ink

[02:28.16]Go cop everythin’ you ever heard by Peed Crakk
[02:30.52]Dice Raw and Black, fuck the Internet
[02:33.21]Buy a baseball bat, break a bootlegger leg
[02:35.52]All I listen to is vets, you’re fresh off the step
[02:38.39]I’ll come directly at your OG neck
[02:40.97]I’m used to the 1, 2 check, not the 1, 2 step
[02:43.66]I’m strapped, I’ll leave every cat among you wet
[02:46.24]Now let’s go, you know I’m politically incorrect
[02:49.11]At the show, I start it with a can I get a hoe?
[02:51.25]And the hoe’s go retarded
[02:52.70]The po-po tape off the stage for caution
[02:55.78]It’s bad lands, North Philly get it in
[02:58.46]It’s Crakk man, used to back spin
[02:59.88]Now I spend stacks and stacks
[03:01.44]And Uncle Sam tryin’ to tax all my hard earned raps
[03:04.08]Damn, we makin’ Yens, Pesos, Euros, we representin’
