[Hook:]
2
Somebody's gotta be there when it gets ugly
3
Somebody's gotta be there when it gets bloody
4
Somebody's gotta get their hands dirty
5
Yo, it's a fucked up job but somebody's gotta do it
6
Somebody's gotta come up with a plan
7
And be there when the shit hits the fan
8
I hope ya'll out there understand
9
Look man it's a fucked up job, but somebody's gotta do it
10
[Riq Gees:]
11
Yeah ya'll, ideal for a lyrical perfectionist
12
Raw, that's what every soldier in my collective is
13
Thought, control level is that of a gold medalist
14
My level headedness make it come off so effortless
15
The rebel is a opposite extreme of devilish
16
Back setting it with the answer to your deficit
17
My track record is hot shit, consecutive
18
Smug, I got game just like a record executive
19
A kiss to the feminine girls loving a gentlemen
20
A genius slash gangsta with a skill for swindling
21
Bet on Black
22
Bet these cats that's all gelatin
23
Will fall back spittin' them raps that's unintelligent
24
Raps that cap, rabid rattlin' out the gattlin'
25
Crippling rhymes whistlin' past, blow you back in
26
Smellin' your blood now I'm huntin'
27
Blowin' your front in for frontin' what up cousin?
28
Oh, now it's nothin'
29
Yo, you can't go beyond a point of no returning
30
I flip like my name Turner
31
That's for certain nigga, Ted Turner, Nat Turner, nigga Ike Turner
32
The raw sojourner for truth
33
The mic burner
34
[Repeat Hook]
35
[Jean Grae:]
36
Mic malevolence defies violence I inherited
37
Others just rentin' it like rooms at the Sheraton
38
I gotta jones like Vanessa in the devil in-
39
And y'all cold like a show in the Netherlands
40
Cold shoulders and frozen aortic valves -
41
So I don't form pals - conform to norms - morals different
42
Gifted - use it to shift shit a mutant shape shifter when I spit it I'm liquid
43
You could lick a million shots at the character of the body shell
44
They'll just richochette nigga aura's hard as hell
45
Before there was ain't hard to tell
46
The mic's cycle coincided right with mine as well
47
Since a minor I walked with the spine upstraight
48
I learned to rhyme to feed the dinner plate
49
I scraped barrel - even dined up on wine and steaks
50
Cuz in the bone same marrow that apartheid chased
51
The narrow margin with the haves and the have nots
52
Will get smaller as I approach - so watch your stash box
53
Fox logo if your fave is local
54
Get bruised till you're the color of the Laker's logo
55
This is work niggas
56
[Repeat Hook]
57
[Mac:]
58
I made it - ain't nobody believe in me
59
But this rap game is like selling coke legally
60
Ain't no innovations - that takes concentration
61
Nigga's celebrating not knowing the time they wasting
62
Killin' mics is one of my aesthetics
63
Rip very live so I'm an entertainer like Cedric
64
Shit they play on radio's now give me a headache
65
Can't slow me down I know where I'm headed
66
The profit on kill if you let it
67
Nigga's feeling energetic
68
Wanna rumble - guns will come out
69
Here come the paramedics
70
I'm just trying to live like I've Devin
71
Tired of my people failin'
72
We all sin - the devil, what di I tell em
73
Somebody gotta get their hands dirty and shoes muddy
74
I see things vividly, ya'll vision is blurry
75
Even if you hate - through my music you gone love
76
Everybody with me and they was with me when it was ugly
77
[Repeat Hook]
