Desperados

You ever dance with the Devil
Under the pale moonlight?
Desperados travelin'
What the fuck's up, son?
We could do this, word up, we could do this

Spent too many nights on the Henny
Gettin' right breakin' big face Bennies
Bettin' against the friendly dice
I can't call it
It's goin' too good to spoil it
Tell it like it is
The raw shit never recorded
Spent too many nights on the Henny
Gettin' right breakin' big face Bennies
Bettin' against the friendly dice
I can't call it
It's goin' too good to spoil it
Tell it like it is
The raw shit never recorded

At a thousand degrees Celsius
I make MC's melt fUCK my record label
I appear courtesy of myself
Let me explain how I
Maintain thresholds to pain
I walk across the Sun barefoot
Lookin' for shade
I rearrange your rib-cage like a
Twelve gauge at close range
And change the position of your brain
My hard raps penetrate through your
Hardhats and all that
Nigga, get ya wig peeled back
I scalp you like the Indians on horseback
Running Bull will hit you
Harder than running back
Stunnin' man with brave and cunnin' raps
Swiftly runnin' laps around 48 tracks
Like uncut crack, you fiends keep comin' back
Heads is flippin' like acrobats on gym mats
From wax to analogue tapes to
Digital DATs, it's critical, black
The Canibus is ill like that!
In fact, perhaps you should quit rap
Instead of always tryna diss back
If niggas keep tellin' you
That your shit's wack i rip raps
Hardcore raps wrestle you to the floor mat
Put you in the figure-four, break your thorax
Jump off the top turnbuckle and
Land on your back
'Til I hear it snap, or crack
Or the ref says "Chill, black!"
You get clapped bringin' the
Wrong raps to combat
Like bringin' a paint gun to a
Shoot out with real gats
Y'all niggas is wack
Rappin' over microphone feedback
My intelligence begins where yours peaks at
From Fox Boogie in the see-through
Brassiere to Nasty Nasir
My nigga Nature'll explain it further
If it's not clear

Millionaire look at the sky
Make sure it's still there
Ice grill stares and my jewellery
Is in every year
Pierre Cardin back in a Dapper Dan time
Now I flex Avirex, Foxy rock Anne Klein

Initiated to the Firm shit
Real thugs learn quick
Sit back and feel the ultimate hit
Initiated to the Firm shit
Real thugs learn quick
Sit back and feel the ultimate hit

Yo, lock in, do the knowledge
Follow the doctrine
We clockin', on your airwaves
Keepin' it rockin' blaze up, make fire
Light your Purple Haze up
Betcha tired bitch-ass niggas need
To be caged up so raze up! Fuck the playin'
I'm sick of layin'
I can picture sprayin' off an SK
Shells ricochetin'
Snatched up, in Supreme Court, eyes half-shut
Co-defendant caught a life sentence
See him crack up
React what? Who will bail two mill'?
Nigga, cool
Still bet I'll be home before the news will
Blast fuse and leave purple Frank Matthews
Perhaps you confuse the concept
Black cash rules!
Incog', another homo, D’s involved
Known freeze, condo seize
Seven keys dissolved daily routines
Speakin' up for niggas who sling
Hand-to hand on them street corners
Claimin' you king
It's time to lock this, join with us
Let your Glock spit
Guzzle the toxic, only fake niggas dry snitch
Get your guns out
It don't take much for me to dumb out
Play one route
Lay ya shit down and run south!

What's the cause of this
Shit? More statistics
Deeper than the laws of physics
Malibu sand and gorgeous bitches
Weed from 1-2-5, my whole crew live
A true Desperado, one that never choose sides
Or shows sympathy, just QB, an entity
Stock exchange, top of the game
Watch you mention me
Image is nothin', just obey your thirst
I blaze the Purple Haze
Sit in a daze then display a verse
For those concerned or just eager to learn
I speak for The Firm
When zonin', keep the cheeba to burn
Stashin' my riches
Pass traditions like Olympics pass the torch
Flip shit so y'all could picture my thoughts
I'm driftin', it's type ill wakin' up
Lookin' like Phil
Twenty years younger, same hunger
Same ice grill
Genetically, form grade A pedigree
Born to carve rhymes
A swift tongue helped to set it free
Theoretically, peep how we bless this
Young and restless guns and Westerns
Learnin' to connect through lessons
From Kufis to caps, niggas shoot back
It's a proven fact '97's mine
Y'all niggas move back!

Spent too many nights on the Henny
Gettin' right breakin' big face Bennies
Bettin' against the friendly dice
I can't call it
It's goin' too good to spoil it
Tell it like it is
The raw shit never recorded
