Yo Imma take it back to the old school like Red Dawn

And blow the fuck up like Lebanon

You ain?t my first or my second, you my thousandth born

And I put you on all that shit you on

The originator, kid, look what you done did

Snitched, told a fib, sent feds to the crib

I ain?t under arrest, I?m David Koresh

Bring a strap and a vest, send your mother my best

Bring all your big guns and your funeral clothes

Cause my rap?s gonna feel like six Wacos

Make a new set of laws and we?ll still break those

Get a new list of drugs, we will take those

Standing on the block in my b-boy pose

Nike sneakers on my feet and my wrist stay froze

Chilling on the corner in a b-boy stance

With a gun in my pants and some blood on my hands

(Slaine)

Once upon a time not too far in the past

When people said what they meant and lived life fast

There was a young man who was misled

By another motherfucker, this is what he said

Once upon a time less recently

I had to walk around with the piece with me

There was a young man who was misled

So I put the gun to his head, this is what I said

(Ill Bill)

Dance with the Devil, conquer the planet with God

Swim with the sharks and transcend unbearable odds

Wrestle alligators, man-eaters, snakes, and gorillas

I catch a bullet in my teeth and spit it back you killer

I painted cathedrals with Michelangelo

Decorated the face of a nasty hoe while the camcorder rolls

I?m a certified stunner surrounded by murderers

Tech 9 runners and pistol-packing homicide gunners

Coka Nostradamus, holy rollers exploding martyrs

We heat the block up hotter than molten lava

Realer than rock stars dying in bathtubs choking on vomit

I?m like a psychedelic drug that you open your mind with

My logo incite riots, cause oppressed nations to rise in defiance

Overthrowing any tyrant, any war machine, any shadow government structure

On a grassy knoll my guns and ammo will touch ya, fucka

Once upon a time not too far in the past

When people said what they meant and lived life fast

There was a young man who was misled

By another motherfucker, this is what he said

Once upon a time less recently

I had to walk around with the piece with me

There was a young man who was misled

So I put the gun to his head, this is what I said

(Slaine)

This is LCN, we ain?t for the faint of heart

We rearrange your teeth, leave your cheeks maimed with scars

C?mon man, you know your grind ain?t the same as ours

The only time you held nines was in a game of cards

And your crew is full of fags like a gang at Oz

I roll with strictly underdogs who overcame the odds

Pushers, villains, rap legends, hookers, and killers

This is for the lost angels and the Brooklyn guerillas

Boston stranglers, con artists, scammers, and thieves

We fuck porn stars right down to amateur freaks

I need a grand in my sneaks, gram of the leak, hand on my piece

Anything else is only bringing sand to the beach

I?m a bad motherfucker, that?s why I rose above you

When you?re like me everybody loathes to love you

Say I might be the next one OD?d in a room

With an unreleased album and a seed in the womb

Once upon a time not too far in the past

When people said what they meant and lived life fast

There was a young man who was misled

By another motherfucker, this is what he said

Once upon a time less recently

I had to walk around with the piece with me

There was a young man who was misled

So I put the gun to his head, this is what I said
