1
[Premier scratch: "This mic in my hand, I'm rulin!"]
2
[Verse One: Guru]
3
Stupid, you know it's time to sit and think, before we hit the brink
4
Lockerroom, at a prize fight, before he hit the ring
5
Like when I tell these corporate leeches they can't get a thing
6
Or when I tell relentless rappers they had better sing
7
The position that anyone holds could be up to grabs
8
I'm waitin up the ave to see if anyone folds
9
Since I was twenty-one years old and legal
10
I knew the difference between gimmicky gangsters and powerful people
11
I'm the reason, why the game is flipped
12
I'm the reason, why your aim is missed
13
I'm the reason why you're mad I only sprained my wrist
14
The reason my mindframe is trained in this
15
You like gunfire? Better acquire the taste
16
Cuz youf walk aroun' with full pounds by dem waist
17
Deface property, they be laced properly
18
Rules are rules, fools are fools, I react logically
19
Ain't no way, so come, make my day
20
Like Tom Hanks I earn long bank and +Cast+ you +Away+
21
[Premier scratching]
22
"This mic in my hand, I'm rulin!"
23
"I repeat, this is not a question"
24
[Chorus: Guru] + (Krumbsnatcha)
25
Oh you brag about the ki's you flipped and who you done up
26
Nigga whattup? (Put up or shut up!)
27
Poppin shit about the chicks and the whips you got
28
You think you hot? (Uh-uh, man - you put up or shut up!)
29
Always talkin bout your dough and your wealth and fame
30
Youse a lame (Get out of here - put up or shut up!)
31
You got hot beats and kids that can spit mad fire?
32
Youse a liar! (That's whack - put up or shut up!)
33
[Premier sample: "This mic in my hand, I'm rulin!"]
34
[Verse Two: Guru]
35
Aiyyo I've seen the toughest of tough guys, the roughest of guys
36
Get reduced of their juice against the wall like small fries
37
All rise, it's time to do the damn thing
38
I'm all wise, my mind exercise like handsprings
39
Crazy degrees of difficulties
40
Remain mackin chicks, O.G. shit, the ten prixs(?)
41
Please, you know my peoples want a lot, the corner's hot
42
We gettin love on y'all block
43
And that's gangsta, but a lot of shit ain't
44
Believe me it ain't easy like you sleazy niggaz think
45
Uneasy niggaz blink, when I step to the stage
46
And don't flinch, don't move a inch, I'm bout to empty the gauge
47
I've witnessed the bad shit, sickness and sadness
48
Always dreamed about what I would do, if I had shit
49
Drop jewels infinite for the blind deaf and dumb
50
Down with M.O.P. and Bumpy plus I just left Krumb
51
[Verse Three: Krumbsnatcha]
52
But I'm back.. ha, fresh out of the max
53
And I'm gettin at you cats
54
Aiyyo popped out the beast, met The Ownerz with the lease
55
Soldifyin contracts over dope beats
56
Learned a whole lot up in these streets
57
Like when to talk, when to spark, and when not to speak
58
I do the one before a gun come out
59
Plus y'all don't really wanna see Krumb dumb out
60
A ghetto doctrine to watch every pistol pop
61
And then while you watchin examine all options
62
Young bodies in the coffin more often
63
It stay the same from Brooklyn to Boston
64
Every interstate, more youth with the inner hate
65
Deep in the struggle, puttin food on they dinner plate
66
Hungry W.O.L.V.E.S. that roll thick in packs
67
And pray on you cats with the gangstafied raps
68
Extortion, only gettin left with abortion
69
Pullin out tools on them fools who be flossin
70
[Chorus]
