Self Defense |
This is self defense. |
x2 |
This ain’t no threat man, ??? |
This is self defense |
Ain’t no tough guy talk, |
we’re just doing what we have to I think ya better let it go You need attention? |
I send medical |
Basically you’re trying to harm me, you’re crazy |
Musically, I’m blazin'. |
Physically, I’m gracy |
Triangle choke ya And what the fuck could have provoked ya? |
We don’t know eachother kid, and I did not insult ya Don’t make me feed the fish, feed the trees, or feed the vultures |
I don’t know stones, I throw statues and sculptures |
I block flows with strikes and strikes with blows |
I slice flows with my mic (get showns)? |
I counterattack and turn the tables in an instant |
Move out of range and step into close distance |
Resistance, relax with less friction |
Leverage and technique bring jokes and submissions |
You got heart, you plan to make it happen |
But none of my family are chumps or never have been |
Respect mine, protect myself at all times |
Build twice next time before you cross the line |
I guess this is what you call a turn of events |
And the best offense is a good defense |
Yo, you wanna hit us? |
We can hit back |
If you talk that talk, you got’s to live that. |
(This is self defense) |
Whenever you front out, you gonna get back. |
(This is self defense) |
Self Defense, you wish you never did that. |
(This is self defense) |
Yo, stay ready for the worst |
Paranoid, straight, smart |
enemies hit ya where you think you’re safe. |
(Self Defense) |
I cut my fingerprints with razor blades |
I’m in the cut, the kind you don’t recognize with shades |
Tattoos, learn two tricks |
only thing between me and the borders and the straight face |
Answers to questions, four eye contact |
this confrontation ain’t physical, but still combat |
Leave ya’self left with options to choose |
The last line of defense of my crew, (dope rules?) |
Psychic, precise, right and exact for songs |
Only time we’ve been wrong is when we thought we were wrong |
The science are format’s own conclusive, but peace first and war, last. |
These words are crucial |
Conflict resolved, but to those that want to brawl: |
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional |
Also, dropping the ball ain’t reccommended |
when life or death decisions are made within seconds |
Of course we make the right ones, strategically through |
Self defense, but not by myself. |
