Blows to the Temple

Lyrics

Check it
 We can go toe to toe with the blows to the temple (NOT)
 Not the Temple of Doom so make room
 for the Unamerican Caravan (who you down with?)
 The B Boys Immenslope Twilite Tone Derrick and then some
 I don't get rid of some faces
 while marks be lookin hard and they be beggin bases
 They have too many cases and now they got courage
 Sorta like Goldilocks tryin to take Pop's porridge
 But I got, the story straight
 Plus the name, I got rep, don't dare sleep
 Slept and got, crept
 An AC/DC spider went up the wall we mount
 Now came down the Common the Common Sense, and now the spider out
 (BOOM) A blackout, power failure
 I ain't the Burger King, but I got a whale of blows
 uppercuts jabs hits and hey niggaz
 Cause I'm weird they call me Lemonhead, but I'm a Jawbreaker
 and I break a Bean, but I'm not from Boston
 I'm stronger, and faster, than Steve Austin
 Common'll keep the camera movin -- I'm kinda fast!
 I'm from a town called FRESH OFF A NIGGAZ ASS
 And I'm about to go on like Stephanie Mills
 YOU MUST be poppin pills, tryin to step to me
 Cause to the left of me, WE got the U-A-C (whattup)
 And comin up to the right of me, WE got the U-A-C (come on)
 And in back of me, yo WE got the U-A-C
 And in front of me (BAW!) is a dead man G!
 We hit em hard!
 .
 Kick it
 A duck tried to buck, but the vic got vicked
 so I picked him, he's another victim of a circumstance
 He did a dance like Ali (SAY WHAT?)
 But he floated like a waterfly and stung like a C
 Ya see, I ain't out here, tryin to be a bully
 Nor am I pretendin to be a two-shoes goodie
 (WORD IS BOND) that I got big balls homes
 And if a player try to press me, I gotta break the zone
 Here to stage a, OOH SHIT, up in the sky
 You better watch out, I'm tellin you why
 Common Sense is breaking, marks down, ah-follow-me-now
 Yo Common Sense is breaking, marks down
 Uhh, check it, check it, check it
 I huff and I puff and I blow (WHAT?)
 the motherf**kin house down, I guess you didn't know!
 Homeskillet, WHERE YA BEEN? Are you the boy in the plastic bubble?
 Ooh you in trouble!
 A tisket a tasket, you're gonna get your ass kicked
 You better know what's in my jacket, f**k the basket
 Oh, God damn CHILD, I mean it's drastic
 You end up on a stretched cause I stretch you like Plastikman
 F**k with me ("you end up the in the cas-ket")
 You flow ass pussy nigga, sucker duck bastard
 (Yo Common calm down, you gots to calm down!)
 This Grape tried to step to me, with his arms down
 Lesson number one - when you're ready to throw
 never step up talkin - that's like tryin to pitch, but you're balkin
 And I'ma steal first, hide the base, but you base
 You can call me Pencil Petey cause the marks I ERASE
 In case of emergency, it's urgent see, that you see a doctor
 You tried to Gamble, but I'm the Proctor
 I knock that ass, bringin it down and then slash
 Tried to play me with a skit, but now you got a gash
 you character, for ya inherit a, neck brace
 Makin ya thousand deaths times worser than a Screwface
 But they call me Screwneck and I do wreck shit
 So next time he push up in the jam, BOY YOU BETTER EXIT
 Late Show in the house
 U-A-C in the house
 7-D in the house
 R-T-A in the house
 True B-Boys in the house
 Dem Dere Dyslexics in the house
 And we gonna f**kin blow the house down
 Check it, hit em with a
 Blood clot boy, you get bucked, tryin to f**k with the
 Mario, Super Super Brothers like Mario
 Here the Common, sucker clucks (what we do?)
 Mission upon the loves, gettin kisses, and hugs
 but then we runnin to a scrub that tried to bug
 He's out to get some what they call em stunts because we bunt
 (WHAT?) But I don't bug, I just slide her, and hit her
 Some be rumpy chump, with the chat chat chitter
 Yo we did her but I betcha know I'm better on it
 Now you got a 100 percent beef, it's just a beatdown
 (UH UH AHH!) Too late to try to be down
 Brother your best bet, is to cover your eyes, like Dee Brown
 (Cause it's a bum bum bum, bum-rush)
 And if I ask who popped shit, the Caravan gotta bus
 Sing it ("on that defense")
 But our bumrush is well done, not medium rare
 It's rare to see, an enemy within play
 True indeed a lot of shit, is over he say she say
 Me say, Warriors come out and play
 And I'ma tear shit up and leave it like the day, after
 And after we go around, and you hit the ground
 then you know I'm down with the Blows to the Temple
