Yo, Momma said knock you out and rock the bells Puffin' chronic and growing up in juvenile hell It's the science of a man, who can I trust Visions of Gandhi, all we got is us Forgive my sins, my backs up against a wall I whirlwind through cities and learn to take a fall Silent weapons used for quiet wars Dressed to kill with a pair of liquid swords I'll become a trust master half man half amazing Back the fuck up it's the mad faced invasion Build your skills learn the code of the streets The streets are real, our reality is six feet deep It's survival of the fittest from the cradle to the grave The temperature's rising so I drink away the pain The basic instructions before leaving earth? I resurrected REAL hip hop with this verse

Yo, yo, all eyes on us - "The Lost Generation" The world goes round, electric relaxation Can it be that it was all so simple Used to love rocking over that "Cream" instrumental Another wasted night with nothin' to do I thought the taste of life meant, I've nothin to prove Got slapped by reality, confronted by truth Realized I was the way I was because of my youth And as for hip hop? I only fucked with a few Old school shit like Gangstarr and Jay Ru Organized, Confusion, Common, Afu KRS, Artifacts, Roots, just to name a few All had an influence on the emcee I became Violent by design, it's just one of those days My pops tried to explain pleasure and pain I knew from this point forward I would never be the same

Yo, Between a rock and a hard place - I'm still at it It was written from the wrong side of the track, I'm steelmatic And I'm hopin' one day it'll all make sense Can I borrow a dollar? Nope here's fifty cent Everything remains raw, do it to death WOOHAA! We got you all in check I'm focused daily and I never lose touch The choice is yours, its not right if its not rough (Bring the pain) Bring the pain, I get my thing in action Fear not of man, got the heart of an assassin There's no escaping this, the revenge of the prophets Stakes is high, things fall apart, you can't stop it Truepocalypse now, and I'm ready to die Trading war stories as I journey through the darkside On a... world tour with a mic in my hand Life goes on, ONLY god can judge this man
