In The Music - The Roots
Malik B, Porn)
[Black Thought]
Yeah, I'm from the illest part of the Western Hemisphere
So if you into sight seein don't visit there
It's somewhere between Jersey and Delaware
Philly never scared and them n_ggaz ain't timid there
Them young triggers lose lives by the minute there
It might start but the fight never finish there
They all f_cked up tryin to get the gingerbread
A few stacks be the price for a n_gga's head
Cops and robbers, cowboys and indians
Clips and revolvers and George's and Benjamin's
A celebration of the loss of your innocence
To you old self you've lost any resemblance
They say the city make a dark impression
The youth just lost and they want direction
But they don't get the police, they get the protection
And walk around with heat like Charlton Heston, man
[Chorus 2X]
It's in the music, turn it up let it knock
Let it bang on the block 'til the neighbors call the cops
The cops gone come but they ain't gone do sh_t
They don't want no problems, what are y'all stupid
It's all in the music [6X]
[Malik B]
It's kinda ill how we grip these b_tches in the Bonneville
It's kind of a thrill, my mind it will spill, my nine it will kill
Of course bro like crossbow, I bring the force though
Hittin your guts splittin your torso
It's colder than the North Pole livin unlawful
I'm giving you a jawful Of somethin awful
Yo my theoretic is leaded, Will come and set it
The sh_t bang and leave you diabetic for paramedics
I spit flames and get dames to get change
With pitbull bark and lock the shock
Don't bother me Och, don't you dare lie to me Och
I don't know, who's this n_gga that you try to be Och
Benefit of doubt had me think you in it for clout
Big sh_t, send it for route and finish him out
Joints stiff from rigor mortis
While we swimmin in waters, women with daughters
Will have us n_ggaz sinnin with orders
[Chorus 2X]
