Self Defense

This is self defense. x2

This ain't no threat man, this is a disclaimer

This is self defense

Ain't no tough guy talk,

we're just doing how we do it, ya know?

[Verse 1 - Iriscience]

I think ya better let it go

You need attention? I send medical

Basically you're trying to harm me, you're crazy

Musically, I'm blazin'. Physically, I'm gracy

Triangle choke ya

And what the fuck could have provoked ya?

We don't know eachother kid, and I did not insult ya

Don't make me feed the fish, feed the trees, or feed the vultures

I don't throw stones, I throw statues and sculptures

I block flows with strikes and strikes with blows

I slice flows with my mic at shows

I counterattack and turn the tables in an instant

Move out of range and step into close distance

Resistance, relax with less friction

Leverage and technique bring chokes and submissions

You got heart, you plan to make it happen

But none of my family are chumps or never have been

Respect mine, protect myself at all times

Build twice next time before you cross the line

I guess this is what you call a turn of events

And the best offense is a good defense

[Chorus]

Yo, you wanna hit us? We can hit back

If you talk that talk, you got's to live that. (This is self defense)

Whenever you put out, you gonna get back. (This is self defense)

Self Defense, you wish you never did that. (This is self defense)

[Chorus]

[Verse 2 - Evidence]

Yo, stay ready for the worst

Paranoid, straight

smart enemies hit ya where you think you're safe. (Self Defense)

I cut my fingerprints with razor blades

I'm in the cut, the kind you don't recognize with shades

Tattoos, none to trace

only thing between me and the border's a straight face

Answers to questions, full eye contact

this confrontation ain't physical, but still combat

Leave ya'self left with options to choose

The last line of defense of my crew, don't lose

Psychic, precise, right and exact for songs

Only time we've been wrong is when we thought we were wrong

The science are format's own conclusive, but peace first and war, last.

These words are crucial

Conflict resolved, but to those that want to brawl:

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional

Also, dropping the ball ain't reccommended

when life or death decisions are made within seconds

Of course we make the right ones, strategically through

Self defense, but not by myself. Babu

[Chorus]
