| Merry fifth-mas ‘til you get your trees up
|
| Black Thought spit like a firearm — lickin' your knees up
|
| Fifth militia crowd please alight Nate Wally
|
| Worldwide — civilized when it speak ollie
|
| Courage under fire — Thought, the wire-walkin' SP
|
| Smooth-talkin' rap Attila — the hundred-spliff skilla
|
| So travel the globe, there’s none iller
|
| Come blows in the spine — tell her why the rhyme killer
|
| Clone grafted on sweat that I shed — somethin' I said
|
| Rock a fifth insignia all up on his head
|
| My black lung regiment can’t relate with fake shit
|
| I’m swimmin' with up inside the snake pit
|
| Makeshift niggas is lost out there — the turn the mics off
|
| Y’all MCs should duck down
|
| We comin' with this well-wrapped sound from Philly-town
|
| Shatter your crown — what the people want now
|
| Now all these chickens runnin' round with they head cut off
|
| And if you ever caught me sleepin', it was after I got my nut off
|
| You like shinin'? |
| It’s gettin' shut off
|
| We keep ones like strippers who shake they butt off
|
| A lot of y’all can’t pay back advances
|
| I get my grind on just like lap dances
|
| We in the last days, the last chances
|
| No storybook romances — me and Thought got the answers
|
| If we wylin' or chillin' growin' up in bloody streets
|
| Or even in bleedin' buildings — this rap thing feedin' millions
|
| You on a mission to shine and glisten
|
| ‘Cause money talks, and when it talks, motherfuckers listen
|
| Now, ‘cause your ish flop
|
| That don’t apply to me when my ish drop
|
| I love hip-hop, and love Roxbury
|
| Niggas be breakin' when I rock steady
|
| But y’all ain’t ready for Eddie — c’mon
|
| My team can only do the best that we can
|
| And will never let a chicken make us less than a man
|
| Breathe every breath that you can — I’ll be the life of the party
|
| You’ll be the death of your man with your weapon in hand
|
| Yo, I’m liable to let loose on my rival
|
| On my arrival, I spit verses like the Bible
|
| In a language that’s tribal to ensure my survival
|
| Up in the clouds off the hydro
|
| When I pass you, don’t get salted like a cashew
|
| I do what I want to, and you do what you have to
|
| Ed O.G. |
| — and none of y’all ahead of me
|
| On point is what you better be — dog, check the pedigree |
