Lyrics

Come to grips with my bag of tricks
Rabbit with the cereal
Coming for your kids
Sweet sugar on my lips
I'm a cartoon
Push your grocery cart through
Mouth full of blood from the candy-colored harpoon
Click boom
Truth when I write these rhymes
Prepared to die for it every time
You know they hate when I integrate
The power of God to change my fate
Ain't my fault that they ain't shit
I refuse to hold back if I hold the line with every rhyme
Trench coat like Columbine
I'm in a panic though
Rhythm is the antidote
Calvin drop the beat
Make it fat. Make them booties go bounce.
Like them breaks you emcees throwin up. Bounce.
Off the rim, you never showin' up.
Hold up. Are you ready for a little fun?
Shut up. Let me show you this is how it's done.
Blow up. Like the chamber of a loaded gun.
I am duty. I am death.
I'm the noose around your neck
I will bludgeon you and suffocate your dreams without regret
I'm the mind killer. Gorilla Dilla.
A.k.a. Young Ginger
Come on and get your fill of this
I said please just come listen to me
'Cuz you know I'm king in this land
Rolling like stone
I'm without a home
Fighting for righteous cause
Not just my own
If you the one dare not take heed
Then you dead and gone
Hold up. Are you ready for a little fun?
Shut up. Let me show you this is how it's done.
Blow up. Like the chamber of a loaded gun.
Hold up. Put 'em up. Stick 'em up.
When I rap on the beat don't interrupt
Blowing up the spot and shut 'em up
When the single drops, we double up, ugh
Nothing but the flyest
Move in silence like hybrids
You all know what the vibe is
U.R.P. We the livest
Brass and bars and beats. Pardon me but that's hard to beat.
Mobbing deep, the whole squad’s unique
U.R.P. Yeah, that's all you need.
Show up. Glow up. Blow up.
Money rolling up. Hold up.
Just pay us what you owe us
We make the whole crowd go nuts
Lifting off. It's the boss. Lyrics pop off like Kalashnikovs.
He's a good guy 'til you piss him off. Breaking glass. No mazel tov.
Hazardous, like splashing a can full of gas and a match is lit
Leave the XLR with ash in it
Wrap on the track like I mastered it
Hold up. Are you ready for a little fun?
Shut up. Let me show you this is how it's done.
Blow up. Like the chamber of a loaded gun.
