[00:01.11]Yo, where the freaks at, lookin’ at me?
[00:19.60]You wanna see Black? Then jump on it
[00:21.82]And to the chumps who think they might want it
[00:24.09]I might spot your ride and dump on it
[00:26.16]And send a couple of boys to that corner of yours
[00:28.22]And role out with a nigga slumped on it
[00:30.43]You see Black fall back son
[00:32.05]Me and Shock up in a Black Regal no insurance
[00:34.70]We like DEA serving warrants
[00:37.01]So tell the freaks you know to stop whorin’
[00:39.14]We gon’ grab the mics and get ’em off the wall
[00:41.50]So e’rybody in here can stop snorin’
[00:43.44]Yo where the safe money unlock it, pull it out your pocket
[00:46.22]Ben Banniker Bay with the Al Morrocan
[00:48.27]Black thought on capitals like the sovereign
[00:50.61]Girls get your eyes back up out the sockets
[00:52.83]Focus, flawless, New York to Europe
[00:55.02]To lands where my feet ain’t even touch the soil yet
[00:57.03]What a movement, the rap solution
[00:58.71]It thumps so hard we got ’em world wide usin’ them
[01:01.24]Tracks from Black for satisfaction
[01:03.08]The role of captain played by Samuel L. Jackson
[01:05.50]Yo ill insanity that’s cold and morbid
[01:07.68]But when I’m in your orbit, your soul absorb it
[01:10.08]A real raw nigga won’t fold or forfeit
[01:12.05]A thorough bred gonna enforce it
[01:13.85]Tariq’s where the beats at
[01:15.29]And where the people out their seats at
[01:16.64]For what? ‘Cause y’all on it
[01:18.42]I’m like Aqua man and Brown Hornet
[01:20.59]I’m like Imhotep but don’t flaunt it
[01:22.75]Dog, reintroducing Master Thespian
[01:24.82]Ho-telling-est, elin-est, emceein
[01:27.22]Fuck getting money for real, get freedom
[01:29.54]Black on the grind from A.M to the P.M
[01:31.78]Splash up crash up the X-5 B.M
[01:33.74]Motive entertainment the Philly Mob we in
[01:36.08]Weak hearts, yo we not them
[01:37.74]Waddup nigga T3 nigga Bahtem
[01:39.84]When the M-ill get home we’re gonna win
[01:41.99]First one to fall cats with no chin
[01:44.39]The mic the Black hold remain smokin’
[01:46.15]And ladies up in the place is wide open
[01:48.14]For real you know what I’m talking about
