[Scratch intro]
Chorus [Black Thought and Scratch] 2x
Once again ‘gain
Once again ‘gain
Once again ‘gain ‘gain ladies and gentlemen
Once again ‘gain
Once again ‘gain
Once again ‘gain ‘gain
Yo, Adrenaline
[Black Thought]
Yo I’m in the eye of the storm, where the pressure’s on
And MC’s is dressed funny like a leprechuan
I chop rappers up like chicken seczuan
Sells a squads off like a slave auction
Aiyyo my zodiac sign read caution
On stage, I make your seed to an or-phan
Yo, my age an algebraic equation
Niggas want some? I hit em wit a portion
Son, The Fifth foursome, armed at the door son
M-illi-tilla, Dice Raw, quick draw son
You don’t want no more son? That’s when more come
And drag a nigga Eerie Avenue to Oregon, you’re all done
Ladies and gentlemen
Select the weapon at the gate upon entering, The Roots instrumentaling
Spark shit, them niggas try to talk shit
We hit em like the L at 60th and Market
South Philly clip a hold into a nigga park it
Take sneaks, chains and rings and bracelets
Split back this like we the therapist
Adrenaline, Fifth mic terrorist, once again
Chorus
[Malik B]
Zigga zigga zigga tryin to get a grip but still slip, so lift me up
Ever since I was a pup I was designed to errupt
You get to know me, you poke me slowly, when caught puzzin
Some niggas thought they was, when of course they wasn’t
Punked em wit a dozen of pellets all in they skelet
Transform, from the norm, start to brainstorm
Yeah Malik B from The Roots, he ain’t gone
I took the wrong exit, the sign said Langhorne
I’m trapped up in about five worlds wit live pearls
Shouts to Armour Akquan who’s name is Jalil
The moat is deep water so let your hand expand it
Demandin, takin you back like Knotts Landing
I’m Ralph Cramdon, we out, you’ll see in Hampton
Yo what the what the what the, what the what the what the
Pivot on this concrete earth until I rot
Didn’t figure how to conquer it yet but still I plot, once again
Chorus
[Dice Raw]
Beans passed the mack and we held em, like hostages
Rappers see me, hide they face like ostriches
Dice’ll grind your brain into little sausages
Underwater rap, you know who the bosses is
North Philly baby, that’s where that Raw shit is
You’ll get blown out the sky once you get talkative
A-D devise rise, I fathered it
So when you see me on the street, don’t bother kid
Just be on your merry way, or you might get slit
Ask around, wonderin what Dice Raw did
Lay you on floors like ya gettin carpeted
You need a special kind of mic for retarded kids
Me against you’s like Kane verse the Partridges
You wanna battle, change your name to The Forfeiters
Cuz that’s what you do, face to face wit raw niggas
I give you a bad case of the fucked-up jitters, once again
Chorus
