Welcome To The Terrordome

Lyrics

I got so much trouble on my mind
 I refuse to lose
 Here's your ticket
 Hear the drummer get wicked
 The crew to you to push the back to Black
 Attack so I sat and japped
 Then slapped the Mac(Intosh)
 Now I'm ready to mike it
 (You know I like it) huh
 Hear my favoritism roll "Oh"
 Never be a brother like to go solo
 Lazer, anastasia, maze ya
 Ways to blaze your brain and train ya
 The way I'm livin', forgiven'
 What I'm givin' up
 X on the flex hit me now
 I don't know about later
 As for now I know how to avoid the paranoid
 Man I've had it up to here
 Gear I wear got 'em goin' in fear
 Rhetoric said
 Read just a bit ago
 Not quittin' though
 Signed the hard rhymer
 Work to keep from gettin' jerked
 Changin' some ways
 To way back in the better days
 Raw metaphysically bold
 Never followed a code
 Still dropped a load
 Never question what I am God knows
 Cause it's comin' from the heart
 What I got better get some
 (Get on up) hustler of culture
 Snakebitten
 Been spit in the face
 But the rhymes keep fittin'
 Respects been givin' how's ya livin'
 Now I can't protect a pad off defect
 Check the record
 An reckon an intentional wreck
 Played off as some intellect
 Made the call, took the fall
 Broke the laws
 Not my fault they're fallin' off
 Known as fair square
 Throughout my years
 So I growl at the livin' foul
 Black to the bone my home is your home
 So welcome to the Terrordome
 ♪
 Subordinate terror
 Kickin' off an era
 Cold deliverin' pain
 My 98 was 87 on a record yo
 So now I go Bronco
 ♪
 Crucifixion ain't no fiction
 So called chosen frozen
 Apology made to who ever pleases
 Still they got me like Jesus
 I rather sing, bring, think reminisce
 'Bout a brother while I'm in sync
 Every brother ain't a brother cause a color
 Just as well could be undercover
 Backstabbed, grabbed a flag
 From the back of the lab
 Told a Rab get off the rag
 Sad to say I got sold down the river
 Still some quiver when I deliver
 Never to say I never know or had a clue
 Word was heard, plus hard on the boulevard
 Lies, scandalizin', basin'
 Traits of hate who's celebratin' wit satan?
 I rope a dope the evil with righteous
 Bobbin' and weavin' and let the good get even
 C'mon down
 And welcome to the Terrordome.
 Caught in the race against time
 The pit and the pendulum
 Check the rhythm and rhymes
 While I'm bendin' 'em
 Snakes blowin' up the lines of design
 Tryin' to blind the science I'm snedin' 'em
 How to fight the power
 Cannot run and hide
 But it shouldn't be suicide
 In a game a fool without the rules
 Got a hell of a nerve to just criticize
 Every brother ain't a brother
 Cause a Black hand
 Squeezed on Malcom X the man
 The shootin' of Huey Newton
 From a hand of a Nigger who pulled the trigger
 ♪
 It's weak to speak and blame somebody else
 When you destroy yourself
 First nothing's worse than a mother's pain
 Of a son slain in Bensonhurst
 Can't wait for the state to decide the fate
 So this jam I dedicate
 Places with racist faces
 Just an example of one of many cases
 The Greek weekend speech I speak
 From a lesson learned in Virginia (Beach)
 I don't smile in the line of fire
 I go wildin'
 But it's on bass and drums even violins
 Watcha do gitcha head ready
 Instead of gettin' physically sweaty
 When I get mad
 I put it down on a pad
 Give ya somethin' that cha never had controllin'
 Fear of high rollin'
 God bless your soul and keep livin'
 Never allowed, kickin' it loud
 Droppin' a bomb
 Brain game intellectual Vietnam
 Move as a team
 Never move alone
 But
 Welcome to the Terrordome
