[KRS-One:]
Yeah, HUT HUT HUT HUT!
I know we ain't gettin soft, HUT HUT HUT HUT!
I know we ain't gettin soft, listen
FIYAH!
[Chorus: KRS-One]
When you advertise in New York
You best to beware, oh yes
When you advertise in New York, you best to beware
Cause the bling bling, and de sex t'ing
Dem no care, oh no, you best to beware
Oh no, yo you best to beware, oh no noooo
[KRS-One:]
This is how they do it kid, I thought you knew it kid
This is how they set us up listen I can prove it kid
Many don't understand, you see it's all a plan
To keep the black man a child like he's Peter Pan
You'll never see a man, a real black man
Until you see a man with control of his hands
And to control your hands means you control your mind
And to control your mind means you ain't commitin crimes
Man you smarter than that, goin to prison is whack
Even the people in prison know I'm spittin the facts
I'm gettin open, open the class up
Don't smoke crack it'll tear yo' ass up
[Chorus]
[KRS-One:]
Listen! We got our own problems here in the States
So you know I'm not pointin the finger BUT WAIT
This is somethin y'all got to see
Even the UN knows violence begins with poverty
When you ain't got no money, it's quicker to kill
It's human nature that's way the jails are filled
And the MILITARY? From the time you sign up
To kill your neighbor man it's a SIN already
And SIN meaning Selfish Inconsiderate Needs
Gimme what I want! I don't care who bleeds
These days people ready to steal and rob
All in the name of I'm DOING MY JOB~!
But what about doing your work, what's your purpose?
No human being is worthless
Think about this before you pull the trigger
And you call your sister a bitch and your brother a - WHOA
[Chorus]
[KRS-One:]
Knowledge Reigns Supreme again, ignorance is weakenin
Truth is what I'm speakin when I'm reachin and teachin my friends
Life is more than just cars and lust
Unity is a must, we need to build trust
Open up your mind to this, raisin up your consciousness
Whether you a pessimist, strategist or optimist
My synopsis is knowledge ain't where college is
Knowledge is for leaders and wisdom is for philosophers
Now I'm hearin London gettin violence like Brooklyn was
Brothers gettin shot just for lookin cause?
I thought we deaded that, we need to be headed back
Yo France, you need to be coverin your brother's back
Bring the lovin back, cause the government don't love you
They into murder, money, and stayin above you
They want you all in prison
So before you kill your sister or brother stop and listen
You should know (by now) really
That this could end, really
You should know I could never make it work
Wake up
Let's pretend, really
Really
Babe
Do you like the way the water tastes
Like gunfire
And you knew but you could never say
Then come forth 'cause it's coming round
Round the water
Beware the water
You should know
Babe
At least pretend you did know why
It's not like you watch so go on take a drink
Really
Babe
Do you like the way the water tastes
Like gunfire
You knew but it was never safe
Take one more 'cause it's coming round
Round the water
Beware the water
Beware the water
Teeth are dry
From wind blows
If you come drinking
There you go
Beware the water
Beware the water
Beware the water
Do you like the way the water tastes
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man?
Didn't I give you everything that a woman possibly can?
Oh, but the longer love I give you it's never enough
And I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough
So come on, come on, come on, come on
And take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break it, break another little piece of my heart now, honey
Honey, have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good
(If it makes you feel good)
You're out on the street looking good
Oh, you know, you deep down in your heart that it ain't right
You never ever hear me, you never hear me when I, when I cry at night
Oh, but each time I tell myself I just can't stand the pain
(I can't stand)
But when you hold me in your arms I've seen [Incomprehensible]
Again and again, and again
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break it, break another little bit of my heart now, honey
Honey, have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good
Take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break it, break another little piece of my heart now, honey
Honey, have another little piece of my heart now, baby
(feat. Fat Mike of NOFX)
Beware of the songs I'm singing
Beware of these words I speak
Beware of the way I'm living my life
Beware of the things I do
Beware of my friends too
Beware of the way I'm spending my time
If you don't want your babies to grow up to be punk rockers
If you don't want your babies to grow up to be a punk rocker
Just like me
Beware of the friends I keep
Beware of the nights without sleep
Beware of venereal diseases
Beware of the hearing loss
Beware of liver gland cost
Beware of the trays of bread and cheeses
If you don't want your babies to grow up to be punk rockers
If you don't want your babies to grow up to be a punk rocker
If you don't want your babies to spend their time
with their best friends in the band
If you don't want them to see the world
through a window in a van
If you don't want them to live their dreams
maybe dreams don't matter that much
If you want them to bourgeoisie
like doctors and lawyers and such
If you don't want your babies to grow up to be punk rockers
If you don't want your babies to grow up to be punk rockers
If you don't want your babies to grow up to be punk rockers
If you don't want your babies to grow up to be punk
If you don't want your babies to grow up to be punk
If you don't want your babies to grow up to be punk
If you don't want your babies to grow up to be punk rockers
Chorus: Mystikal Making Noise
First Verse:
BEWARE!
The man with the braids done walked in
Mild mannered like Clark Kent
I'M rougher and tougher than dead shark skin
This man gonna be have you flippin' like the pages of (?)
Evil like Cruella
Five minutes later I'ma still be hard as an armadillo
Roll like an eighteen wheeler
Shinin' like the slipper
Of Cinderella
And bad weather
And acapella
THIS FELLA
TOP SELLER!
Gonna be that way til' I'm old as Mandela
STILL GETTIN' BETTER!
Writin' rhymes I'm best of 'em
I'm the arrester, I'm the professor
I'm the nigga that keep his picture on your girlfriend's dresser
Now really
Tell me what you muthafuckas know about gettin' ROWDY
Tell your whole Sunday gang bout it
BITCH I BEEN BOUT IT!
Now, I kick the rest of you into HASH
BOW GRASSHOPPER, BOW TO THE MAN!
Chorus
Second Verse:
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Bet'cha runnin'
I bet'cha, bet'cha I'm best that I'm better
Run with a letter
Swift as a jet or keep up with the pace setter
Sparkle like glitter
HARD HITTER
HOE GO-GETTER
SIDE STEPPIN' FROM NO NIGGA!
Whenever you bitches decide you gonna get too big for your britches
Leavin' you stitches
Diggin' ditches
Sufferin' hickeys, cuts, scrapes, bruises, welts
Don't fuck with the RHYMIN' BLACK BELT
WATCH YOURSELF!
BOOM! HERE I GO!
BOOM BOOM! I KNOW!
Y'all niggas can't fuck with the man with two tongues, cuz that's the way I flow
Cuz I can get hot like fire
And you can't put it out, it's like tip-toein' on top of barbed wire
For instance, persistance
No resistance, stay your distance
Is vital to your existance
You leave it to me to show you the way out
I'm never gonna play ya
I'LL TAKE YOUR OLD LADY
EVEN IF I TOOK MY BRAIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDS OUT!
Chorus
Third Verse:
And I'm uh, ready, and it looks like ALL you bitches are rusty
Y'all can't buss me, don't cuss me
Hit'cha, so much muthafuckin' we gone leave this bitch musty
You disgust me
Trust me
When Mystikal hits the door, you bitches be SCREAMIN' to touch me
I'm the invisible man you can't see me
I'm mackin' illusions and confusion
I'm abusin', your conclusion, and contusions, from the bruises
Issuin' these muthafuckas with the style that them bitches want
FIVE FOOT ELEVEN, screamin' to heaven
I say FUCK SHIT GOD DAMN
Bitch respect me like a reverend, and...
Congregation say "Amen"
(Amen)
Come through this muthafucka swingin' like a CAAAAVEEMAAAN
And you against me, you better not say it go back in the water
Come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come
UP JUMP THE SHIT STORM!
From the rats
Rollin' out
Since you wanna BOW muthafucka
BOW to the master!
Step right on up, take a good good look
at the latest pie that fate could cook
this is no phenom, so supermarket guru
just a revelation from me to you
So don't believe a thing that you might hear
at least from the last 30 - 40 years
cause it wasn't long ago just before the reign of Nero
we had no concept of zero
So beware, children beware, the devil may care
six little soldiers with stripes on their shoulders
never with a thought to dare
So take aim, children take aim
the drill sergeant sang
with ample perspiration ordered
stop your respiration
and end the flow of oxygen to the brain
So wake up sleepyheads, listen what I have to say
as you near your independence day
just keep in mind, in time your find so few
so few have your best interests in mind
so don't believe a thing you might hear
at least from the last 3 - 4,000 years
'cause is wasn't long ago just before the reign of Nero
we had no concept of zero
so beware, children beware
the devil may care...
I love your style
And i love your smile
I love the way you talk
It's so exiting the way you walk
Beauty is in high when i hold you baby
And i want you to know that all i see is you
And what i see, i like
Girl listen, you're in my life, so: "
Beware, i'm gonna keep you
Take care, i can't resist you (your touch)
I love you too much
Better beware
I need you, and want you to know dear
I swear i do
I really do dear (your touch)
I love you too much
So beware
I'm not a king on a thrown, no more
No treasures to my own
But if i had your love
I know i'd be
The richest man in history
So beware
I'm gonna keep you so take care
Cause i can't resist you (your touch)
I want you too much
So beware
I'm not a king on a thrown, no more
No treasures to my own
But if i had your love
I know i'd be
The richest man in history
So beware
I'm gonna keep you so take care
Cause i can't resist you (your touch)
I love you too much
I want you to know
That i love you so
The way people smile and say,
Using me in every way
It's ok
Times are changing
Life is upside down
No reason to cry now
Oh no reason to cry now
Beware of who you listen to
Beware of what you believe
Ain't nothing i can do to you
To make you love me
Friends are the reason
For so many breakups and breakdowns, round town
So many people think that life is so much fun
We've only just begun
Begun to have some fun
Beware of who you listen to
Beware of who you believe
Ain't nothing i cn do to you
To make you love me
Beware of who you listen to
Beware of what you believe
Ain't nothing i can do to you
To make you love me
I dress myself in black
In black from head to heels
I take my promise back
Cause you don't know how it feels
No, you don't take me as I am
No, you don't want to know at all
Who is the face behind the mask
I'll be the one who'll make you fall
Beware! Beware! I'll be the one
The one to take you under
Beware!
I hate the light of day
I'm happy when it rains
The stars shine on my way
But the memory remains
No, you don't take me as I am...
Beware! Beware! I'll be the one...
I am the night's revenge
I've got a soul to sell
And yet a fist to clench
So wait for me in hell
Beware! Beware! I'll be the one...
Wait for me in hell
[Mr. Shadow]
I be blowing up like land mines going across the world and major plains
Hearing you people yell my name makin the money fuck the fame
Them lame ass rappers claimin to be some fucking stars
Save that drama for your mama, just remember who you are
Ain't no need to fake the funk talking you're this and that
I've been a thug tryin to be somebody and it stays like that
I was borned raised to resign in the ghettos
Unlike all you phony imposters claimin to be at another level
Like the Devil in my mental, feel your passion for disasters
Fuckin up them happy homes, stoppin the heartbeats of these bastards
I'm the master of them shadow right behind you day and night
Double cross me be the cause and watch your casper catch a flight
To the land of no tomorrow leavin your hated ones in pain
Mothafuck what they be goin through, my hard is dark just like my name
I frame a mothafucka for their actions
Try to act a fool and watch below away your ashes
I clashes with foes intentually, permently I abuse their ass mentaly
Makin sure this putos remember me
Cause Shadow be, driving mothafuckas in the box
If you want to meet the facts that I'll meet you at the docks punk
You stare when you see The Shdaow comin
Beware mothafuckas start runnin
Death makes a mothafucka shiver
You best keep your shit up on the trigger
You stare when you see The Shdaow comin
Beware mothafuckas start runnin
Death makes a mothafucka shiver
You best keep your shit up on the trigger
[Mr. Shadow]
Walls colapse on top of the fake
mothafuckas it's no mistake
So you want it be a fluke
now you're walking the skies like luke
You better beware like I was eclipse
I'm come equipted with clips that be rippin your lips
I think you're one of the infamous Sisco Kid
I leave your mysterious unsolved if you get into shit like this
When I clutch my fist I dismiss mothfuckas of my list
Through the mist of the evening fog I'm the hog that's causing the riots
Leavin mothafuckas frozen like that computer virus, like cirus
I'll light those sirens and body bags on tops of stretchers
Mothafuckas I'll never forgive never the less will I forgetcha
If you owe then you pay me in my world there is no maybe
Fool you're acting like a lady might as well just have a baby
Let me remind you, but you can hide but I'm gon find you
Since the day you were born til this day I still behind you
I blind you like eclipse, bring you hell like triple 6's
got you fiendin for my music like those shooters fiend for fixes
If you ever break my record it's like breakin a fuckin mirror
7 years of getting your ass kick causin enternal bleeding to your liver
I am the sickest and the quickest in this business
You think that you're a player but I'm the one that's pokin your mistress
[Chorus]
[Mr. Shadow]
I'm rarely unforgiven syko driven out of my mind
I be more blunt then the sincre so mothafuck don't waste my time
Step into these kamakazi, you'll never see tomorrow
Skip Moheny and The Casuals, cause where ever you go I'll follow
The Shadow be stalking all the rivals like Ramirez
When you hear this you fear this and in a minute flies your spirt
I tax a mothafucka like the government the punishment be brutal
I let the body rot like there was bruno
Like Pluto you're the smallest in the universe you'll never reach my status
Better kiss and say good bye like The Manhattens
Dramatic's about to reign Mr. Shadow brings the pain
Enemies I touch with reign with the lyrics from my brain
Substain or get stained like it was the time of the month for you
Either play the fuckin game or the game will play you like a fool
Breakin em off like fuckin branches, makin em fall like avelanches
Those who be actin like biatches be pushin up daises like them snatches
Better learn or get taught cause off the map I wipe them all
Stoppin pulse of imposter hittin em up just like a call
Spook you in the night like if I was Gladice watch you fall
I'm loved by a few... hated by most... respect by all Ha Ha Ha
CHORUS:
I gave you fair warning, beware...beware...beware... (2x)
--Mobb Deep sample--
Yo...what you thought punk, shit was sweet, now you can't sleep
Gotta keep ya eyes open wide and hide ya face from the streets
I'm like the beast with a warrant, far from alarmin'
Gave you fair warnin' now you on the stairs swallin'
I'm callin' out any rapper that I doubt, smack 'em in the mouth
Throw 'em in the yoke, BOOM!, then I knock 'em out
No doubt, Freddie Foxxx files 20-shot auto glock, BLAAOW!
Benny blind Puerto Rock style
Wit' a twist of black in the brow, twist ya cap and I'm out
Sleep wit' the fish-dips for yappin' too loud
What's happenin' now? Niggaz is hard as hell but they Gargamels
Pickin' on the smallest victim gives 'em heart to kill
My squad is real and holds it down the hardest regardless
Besides of the largest, we polish the floor
with the rawest hardcore artists
Flawless victory you niggaz can't do shit to me
Physically lyrically hypothetically realistically
I'm the epitome of catchin' wreck, catch you when you cash your check
Smash you when you pass then jack you for your fuckin' Lex
Nothin' less than the best if the squad did it
Hard-headed niggaz better beware and fear like God said it
CHORUS (4x)
Ay-yo I warned you, now all niggaz could do is mourn you
I'm born to kill and still thrilled, I put it on you
There's no regrets, remorse, only results and loneliness
Only the strong survivors strive through life as warriors
All of us die, some of us kill, even massacred
Who wanna try? Punisher will if you ask for it
I'm hazardous for your health and hell's your next stop
For real my shit's cocked the world has just stopped...
(pause)
I'm not the one you should be underestimatin'
Come test your fate an' I guarantee I'll be under investigation
You can't handle the whole, I'll slam you on your skull
Or we can go blow for blow like Evander and Bowe, ya never know
However tho' I still hold the title
When all my rivals the chance to dance who missed the homicidal
Hand on the bible I swear to defend my crown
I've been around since forever and never let it touch the ground
Don't fuck around and catch a rude awakenin'
My crew's basically waitin' patiently for you to move your patrons in
Then we'll surround you, form Desert Storm and pound you
Look around you, Terror Squad's everywhere like Soundview
The Boogie Down do it like nobody, who are we?
The foundation, you're facin' a whole army...
CHORUS (2x)

======
Bless my cotton socks I'm in the news
The king sits on his face but it's all assumed
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
They can't have it
You can't have it
I can't have it too
Until I learn to accept my reward
Prisoners stand in queues and stand in queues
Live in solitude like Howard Hughes
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
Silence has it
Arrogance has it
I can't have it ooh
Until I learn to accept my reward
Suddenly it struck me very clear
Suddenly it struck me very clean
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
They can't have it
You can't have it
I can't have it too
Until I learn to accept my reward
(RPT)
Always around but your never gonna see me
Looking at you from way up in a tree
Your eyes are bright and your hair is pretty
I breathe you in when your close to me
I watch you sleep and bathe alone
When your at work I'm in your home
If you breathing or maybe a moan
It's me on your telephone
Beware, I'm there
I can smell you in the air
Beware, I'm there
Can't you feel my prying eyes
Beware, I'm there
I will never leave your side
Times are tough and baby lately
I've been feeling so lonely
I've been picked apart because your parts deceive me
Now I'm in my own fantasy
And if my life goes as planned
I will have the upper hand
I'm not one to make demands
If I can't have you no one can
Beware, I'm there
I can smell you in the air
Beware, I'm there
Can't you feel my prying eyes
Beware, I'm there
I will never leave your side
Beware, I'm there
I can smell you in the air
Beware, I'm there
Can't you feel my prying eyes
Beware, I'm there
I will never leave your side
Cut the engine when I'm all revved up, pull the rug beneath my feet
Pull the trigger when I'm wound up, then you turn your back on me
Then you say that I'm taking too much, that I'm talking to myself
And whether you like it or not you'll never ask for help
Breathing for you
Can't be all in my head
Changing scares you
This is all in your head
Beware, I swear, I will be waiting there
Draw the battlelines and back me down to the corner with such ease
Turn the knife til I'm so worked up all I do is aim to please
The power balance is now upside down with a sudden change of gears
Every single word is now washed up by your crocodile tears
The setting sun crumbles in the distance
Feeble words meeting new resistance
Tired games do they make a difference
Honey, sugar - you better beware
Willing to betcha
Mmm, I'm gonna getcha
I got my eyes on you - you better beware
Baby, baby - you're looking so fine
You're my desire
Mmm, my heart's on fire
I got my eyes on you - you better beware
No use ignoring my come hither glance
One of these days you're gonna stumble and fall,
And I'll get my chance, because
Honey, sugar - when I look at you
I get that feeling
Mmm, my head goes reeling
I got my eyes on you - you better beware
How hard to move away from these ascending years
No bitter pill was swallowed without pain
But love lies deeper when it fails to shed a tear
And how I worry for your happiness again
Beware, as we wander through the years
Beware, that you keep your heart from fears
Take care my love
To share your love
And though the roads be long
I'll say goodbye and I was wrong
And I've been loving you too long
But now I love you more than ever
So beware
So hard to be alone with these forgotten dreams
No bitterness could drive away the tears
No other one will take the place you have inside
I know the memories will last a million years
Beware and I know your heart will sing
Beware for I wish you everything
Take care, my love
To share your love
And though the roads be long
I'll say goodbye and I was wrong
And I've been loving you too long
But now I love you more than ever
Step right on up, take a good good look
At the latest pie that fate could cook
This is no phenom, so supermarket guru
Just a revelation from me to you
So don't believe a thing that you might hear
At least from the last 30-40 years
'Cause it wasn't long ago just before the reign of Nero
We had no concept of zero
So beware, children beware, the devil may care
Six little soldiers with stripes on their shoulders
Never with a thought to dare
So take aim, children take aim
The drill sergeant sang with ample perspiration ordered

So wake up, sleepyheads, listen what I have to say
As you near your Independence Day
Just keep in mind, in time your find so few
So few have your best interests in mind

'Cause is wasn't long ago just before the reign of Nero
We had no concept of zero
So beware, children beware
The devil may care
It was about midnight,
my body was falling apart.
I could feel it spread all over the place.
It was like a ghost in my veins.
My blood was boiling, the heat was cruel.
Got to get out from my place.
Got to escape from this case.
While I was running my feeling was taken away.
I received a message from my mind:
"Prepare yourself for the journey
which you are going to do,
the journey into your soul."
The ground started to tremble,
suddenly he was there.
Pointing the finger he said:
"Now you be ware.
Welcome to my cave, just follow me.
I've got something for you I want you to see..."
I trembled in shock,
tried to keep awake.
But it was taking over all my mind
about the thing that poisoned me.
Still he was nowhere to be found.
The ground started to tremble.
Suddenly he was there,
pointing the finger he said:
"Now you be ware.
Welcome to my cave, just follow me.
If you sing my song
And the dead rise all around me
I can make the darkness
Weep and fall
If you sing my song
Lie upon me, all surround me
Ragged roads of distance
Long lost souls
If you sing my song
And the dead cry all around me
I'll blanket you with wings
When you're not strong
Creature calls
Sick angels fall around me
If you're scared

[Storyteller]
I close my eyes and seize it
I clench my fists and beat it
I light my torch and burn it
I am the beast I worship...
And I know soon come my time
For in mine void a pale horse burns
But I fear not the time I'm taken
Past the point of no return
Wage war like no tomorrow
Cuz no hell there won't be one
For all who deny the struggle
The triumphant overcomeme
Trips to where, few have been
Out of thin air, upon high winds
Rites begin when the sun descends
Have felt what few will ever know
Have seen the truth beneath the glow
Of the ebb and flow, where roots of all mysteries grow
I am below, so far below
The bottom line
Transmitting live, transmissions rise
From the depths out of controlled by
Suspended glance of an unblinking eyes
Imminent gaze cast 'pon the path that winds
'Pon the path I find, and claim as mine
To ride the waves, of unrest
Made to make me shine as a testament
To why the ways of the blind will never get
Shit but shanked by my disrespect
Dismiss this life, worship death
Cold blood night of serpent's breath
Exhaled like spells from the endlessness
In the bottomless wells of emptiness
Channeled to invoke what we represent
Secret order
Elitist horde of
Creeping fire
Seizing power
Riders of the lupus hour
Sacrifice to rise beyond
Deep inside the violent calm
To glorify and for life adorn
With all that dies to become unborn
I close my eyes and seize it
I clench my fists and beat it
I light my torch and burn it
I am the beast I worship...
I am the beast I worship
In the time before time eyes 'bove which horns
Curve like psychotropic scythes
And smell of torn flesh bled dry
By hell swarms of pestis flies
Vomiting forth flames lit by
An older than ancient force
That slays this life with no remorse
Feel my vessel go up in flames
Flesh torch lit by thee unnamed
Direct connection to the source
Vestment of unnatural force
Forever burning black torch
Wisdom of the old and true
Possessed by the chosen few
Shining to reveal the ways
Of a darkness that pervades
All that is and ever was
Inferno of witches blood
Worship is not on bended knee
Nature knows not of mercy
To pray is to accept defeat
Power pisses on the weak
Bow and beheaded by the beast
Beggar on a bitches leash
Scum is desperate for relief
Worship is the way I ride
Witching currents through the eye
Of storms that force the false to die
Worship the flames with which I rise
Into apocalyptic skies
Harsh winds flay mine flesh to bone
In splintered skeleton I roam
Wastelands with not to call my own
But the path I walk alone
The hunger burns, within my gut
As my bones turn into dust
And I know soon come my time
For in mine void a pale horse burns
But I fear not the time I'm taken
Past the point of no return
Wage war like no tomorrow, know well there won't we one
For all who deny the struggle
The triumphant overcome ...
I close my eyes and seize it
I clench my fists and beat it
I light my torch and burn it
I am the beast I worship...
[INTRO:]
Beware for the Shottas dem strap
rastaman ah tell di youths dem fill low di block
Beware who di cops start heart attach and dem nuh care(no ooo)
Its ashame to see brothers killing themselves
Wasting energy, should be uplifting themselves
Whos di enemy putting shots on the shelf
What we need is brain, food and belly full for our health
So dont get caught up in a fety passion
Be careful of dem guns and ammunition
And let us make a change in meditation
Cause we could use the strength for cultivation(my lord!)
[Chorus:]

So dont get caught up in a fety passion

And let us make a change in meditation
I snagged myself on your barbed defences
And my chainmail unravelled as if woven from wool
And so to lead by example I had to get out before I was trampled
So heed my warning and steer well clear
Beware, please beware
If you're gonna get involved with her then tread with care
'Cause that girl is trouble, take it from me
My flesh was scored by your thorny branches
Now the patch work I'm tailored from is ripped at the seams
And the thread-less warning flags waved as though the wind was mad
But I chose not to notice and got caught in your snare
Beware, please beware
If you're gonna get involved with him then tread with care
'Cause that guy is trouble, take it from me
And you've left your mark girl, a blot on my page
I would tippex you out but that only hides the pain
Well you've left your mark boy, you've bulldozed my walls
I could build them up brick by brick but they never stand quite as tall
Beware, please beware
If you're gonna get involved with her/him then tread with care
'Cause that girl/guy is trouble, take it from me
Beware/yeah
Beware/yeah
Beware/yeah
Beware
You might have a lot to say.
There might be a price to pay.
Just beware.
They might smile and nod their heads,
while they wish that you were dead.
Just beware.
Your friends might not be what they seem.
Take it from me,
if you're not careful
you might get hurt one last time.
It's just a warning,
beware.
Don't get caught off your guard.
Evil lurks in all our hearts.
Just beware.
You won't last very long,
even if you are strong.
Just beware.
Don't trust anyone.
They might be your enemy.
If you're not careful,
you might get hurt one last time.
It's just a warning,
beware,
beware,
Hey little darlin', you better beware
If you find yourself creepin' in your lover's head
You'll find some secrets your lover left
In the dusty floorboards and the dusty shelves
Waaaaooooooooo
Waaaaooooooooo
Hey there creases, you folded hole
Fifty percent and you're still unknown
Your eyes are dark, but your hair is gold
I'm gonna' break you from crown to sole
Waaaaooooooooo
Waaaaooooooooo
Leave that liquor, your boys and bones
Bright red capsule, your sticks and stones
The final chapter, you'll write alone
In the shiny bathtub of your tiny home
Waaaaooooooooo
He'll lead you on, with his words
He'll rob you of your world
And he'll sweep you off your feet
He'll give you character like an actor in a play
And you'll never see him, huh
When he makes his getaway so beware
Take precaution for protection
When steppin' through the night
Your midsection'll get stiff like erections
And in peace you'll be restin'
Don't waste my time on no foes
Sportin' fat clothes is the code
Waitin' on this new low the scheme unfolds
Cream, breakin' open the seams of my Jabot jeans
Dreams of my team, blowin' up the uptown scene
My dome piece is intact got my mind on one issue
To make dough and foes gettin' wet up like a tissue
Is y'all wid us?, then let us, sit back and meditate
And think of new plans to stand and watch our dough elevate
We tote heat like guerillas for fellas that's jealous
No need to worry for the stash pot it's in the cellar
Wid the right production brain start to function I feel percussion
Memory banks overload which leads to combustion
My cavalry watches me constantly
Therefore I have to spit shit that's more catchin' than an allergy
Follow me, I bleed to get my point across
I need Gs to succeed sellin' weed
And bring forth a little seed envy me
Ain't no need but if you have to
I'll put a slug in that ass and leave ya stiff like a statue
S-A, N-T-O, D-O-M-I, N-G-O and puerto blacka on the red eye
I'm sick and tired of not being that number one nigga in this
Fightin' full scale wars to the finish
But I believe in God backwards, to the dog catchers
I roll playin' leap frogs and snacth ya
There ain't no place for me here so I gotta split
This is the last learnt lesson that I gotta get
You can hate me now, yeh
But ya better off dressin' in drag to take me out
Go to the mil man march as Klansmen and make it out
Disguised as Bushes at the White House stakin' out
I laugh at those foes that claim that they can't get disposed of
Like torn clothes, believe it son, yeh
I got jackets that got hatchet compartments
Back watched automatic for dramatic departments
I'm a Prodigy who don't need Havoc to rock it
My Mobb's Deep quick to plead insanity on it
A pack of wild Dominicans who give they life to get the point across
A bullet proof for when enterin' oblivions
S-A, N-T-O, D-O-M-I, N-G-O and puerto blacka on the red eye
You know how that go, say no more...
You know, this is that Washington Heights theme song man
This is that New York theme song
Say no more... I mean you know how that go
As far as growin' up in the streets
Everybody done been there and back
When it comes to New York knawhat I mean?
Deadly midnight hour
Noone is in sight
Dark demonic powers
Make you step inside
Once you might have taken
Slightly different turn
Know where you end up
Soon you'll have to learn
Chorus:
His insane cry
Terrifies
You inside
Holy voice of heaven!
Where are you?
Where the hell are you?!
So beware!
He is everywhere
So beware!
I'll tell you the end of it some other day
Can't see in the darkness
Don't know where to turn
Wrapped in total silence
You're the chosen one
It's for you to go
Forward to survive
Want to see tomorrow
Want to see daylight
Chorus:
His insane cry
Terrifies
You inside
Holy voice of heaven!
Where are you?
Where the hell are you?!
So beware!
He is everywhere
So beware!
I'll tell you the end of it some other day
You'll hear him shout
Gonna kill you
