[Remedy]
Like the calm before the storm and it came without warning
An ordinary day in New York, Tuesday morning
9 1 1 in 2001, the greatest act of terrorism done with no gun
No who ever thought that we'd ever get caught
With our noses in the air and no real support
Right here in America I was taught
That things ain't always what you think you thought
Yo attack on America, mass hysteria
And scarier, worldwide watch your area
For everything you see, there's a price and a fee
In the land of the brave and the home of the free
It only took one look with no sign of the crook
Forever in the books, the day the Earth shook
Us against them, forever no til then
[Remedy]
I seen it all from the great channel wall
While we brawl, babies crawl to the leaky-leak down fall
Many of men die for the get high
And why blatant bloody murders with twenty for alibi
Natural disasters, the real hidden masters
Open road, lives got grazed in green pastures
High priced to low portfolios with no clothes
In bungalo's dealing with some cons and pros
Open flows, the show, go and blows a-stray
Licking shots at the beaken like in JFK
Crazy thousands of faces, a few car chases
In places, power moves mad with no traces
Welcome home embraces in families of racist
I hate this, still yet I hide from the faceless
Some tape thier flow guns thinking that they're shoguns
Say, "Yea, we'll produce ya, but ain't fucking no ones"
Hybrid, subtiva, big bud grabs his skunk
Number one flying high on my way to the sun
[Chorus: Remedy]
I seen it, freeped it, lived it, peeped it
Fucked up gangsters, jokesters and prankers
I seen it, freeped it, lived it, peeped it
The backstabbers, the click, smash and grabbers
I seen it, freeped it, lived it, peeped it
Blowing out of speakers, hundred dollar sneakers
I seen it, freeped it, lived it, peeped it
Keep your ears and eyes open
[Remedy]
Master lock-picks, cess, candy-apple corvettes
Crazy gambling, debts, bets on the internet
Trances, day-to-day chances, catching glances
Hard rocks in stance, three hundred g advances
Disease through injection to spread the infection
Protection, stay aware, we're the masters of deception
Moving like the French Connect', change like seasons
Tales of high treason for unknown reasons
Made men turning over, playing dead like rover
Seen the fiend in the boulder, yo, look over your shoulder
Look into the life of the white Isrealite
Fish scale, crysatlite, thief in the night
I seen the light behind the white picket fences
The battle commences, defenses are useless
Your stripped of your senses
Chemical imbalance, high off lithium
Seen g's overseas and money stashed in Switzerland
Countless divorces, grown men on pail horses
US armed forces been took to the sources
I seen it all through my crystal
Quick, grab my pistol
[Chorus]
[Outro: Remedy]
[Intro]
(Yeah. Yo. What's up yo?)
What's up? (You got that shit right?)
Yeah. I got it. (Good let's go then.)
*police siren* Ah fuck!
[Remedy]
Check your mirror the scence couldn't get no clearer
Exhaling you with intentions of nailing you
They heard about canary rap sung through word of mouth
Blow your engine out beyond regional doubt
The stash house next crash house
The thirty six z's for a brick in the smash house
Sealing his pump jacks, release the pressure vac'
Pressed the powder pack, craving gets that
Cock my hammer back, what the fuck you looking at?
With your hat turned back, dipped down in black
These twenty two CI's like you and me, street guys
The eyes of the yellow man disguised in lies
They got the okay to make buys, slaughter the flies
On the rise, planning my dimise
Lucky if you see the next day, never dawned on you
Sun rise, open up your eyes, yo, thier on to you
[Chorus: Remedy]
Sunlight shines on my steel, everything is real
What I see, what I feel
Face the fears, yo, what's the deal?
We must conceal, take a spin on life's wheel
[Remedy]
I'm on the lane with a package of raw 'cane
And I'm waiting for a pick-up, carrying like stick-up
Licking my lips out, fast flips, dips for action
Cash rules, my only attraction
My man selling point, v'fer grams off his beeper
Let it be, come see me, I've got the same shit cheaper
Check the spot, the whole shit's hot
It's dead on the block 'cause somebody talks a lot
Yo, forget me not, two kids shot, in future not
Knew the plot, blew the spot, never forgot
>From South Beach to Springville in big body benzes
Through New York to the landfill and we're making no menzes
Level four vests and zoom lenses
The bully all high and them Shaolin Island kids profiling
It take place, no discrimination of race
What a waste for the spotlight just to get a taste
[Chorus]
[Remedy]
Maybe the kid you're running with's and informant
He got a fat file with the DA that just lay dormant
Inditments for quigles, convictions followed appeals
And dismissals got you thundering, can't help but wondering
The club scene, a hundred books of acid and who's on exstacy
Who sniffs shit and who's right next to me?
Big John's on a cycle of steroids
Him and his boys got behind, we've gotta go kill the noise
Put my life in my man's, hitting speed
On one fifty, one fifty-five, closing in on one sixty
A pound a month habit, son, I can't stop smoking
No joking, you never know, I'll probably die choking
Smoking weed and leaves with Albanian thieves
Together plotting up schemes that we all believe
Mad tricks up the sleave and
We know when you're coming and leaving
and we gotta get even
Sunlight shines on my steel, everything is real
Pray and kneal, take a spin on life's wheel
[man praying in Hebrew during intro]
[Intro: Remedy]
Feel this,
To all those races, colors, and creeds, every man bleeds for the
countless victims and all their families of
the murdered, tortured and slaved, raped, robbed and persecuted
Never Again, To the men, women, and children.
Who died in their struggle to survive, never to be forgotten.
Reuven Ben Menachum, yo..
[Remedy]
Yo my own blood, dragged through the mud
Perished in my heart still cherished and loved
Stripped of our pride, everything we lived for
Families cried, there's no where to run to, no where to hide
Tossed to the side, Access denied
6 million died for what? Yo a man shot dead in his back
Helpless women and children under constant attack
For no reason, till the next season, and we still bleeding
Yo it's freezing, And men burn in hell, some for squeezing
No hope for a remedy, nothing to believe
Moving targets who walk with the star in their sleeve
Forever marked wit a number, tattooed to your body
Late night, eyes closed, clutched to my shotty
Having visions, flashes of death camps and prisons, no provisions
Deceived by the devils decisions, forced into a slave
Death before dishonour for those men who were brave
Shot and sent to their grave, can't awaken, it's too late
Everything's been taken, I'm shaken, family, history, the making
[Chorus: Remedy w/ Israel's anthem]
Never again shall we march like sheep to the slaughter
Never again shall we sit and take orders
Stripped of our culture, robbed of our name
Raped of our freedom and thrown into the flames
Forced from our families, taken from our homes
Moved from our God then burned of our bones
Never again, never again, shall we march like sheep to the slaughter
Leave our sons and daughters, stripped of our culture
Robbed of our name
Raped of our freedom and thrown into the flames
Forced from our families, taken from our homes
Moved from our God and everything we own
[Remedy]
Some fled through the rumors of wars
But most left were dead, few escaped to the shores
With just one loaf of bread, banished, hold in for questioning
And vanished, Never to be seen again, I can't express the pain
That was felt in the train to Auschwitz, tears poured down like rain
Naked face to face, with the master race, Hatred blood and David
My heart belongs to God and stay sacred
Rabbi's and priests, Disabled individuals
The poor, the scholars all labeled common criminals
Mass extermination, total annihilation
Shipped into the ghetto and prepared for liquidation
Tortured and starved, innocent experiments
Stripped down and carved up or gassed to death
The last hour, I smelled the flowers
Flashbacks of family then sent to the showers
Powerless undressed, women with babies clumped tight to their chest
Crying, who would've guessed -- dying, another life lost
Count the cost, another body gas burned and tossed in the holocaust
[Chorus]
[Outro: Remedy]
Never Again, Never Again
The final solution is now retribution
Remedy, Wu-Tang..

FIRE!
[Radio Announcer]
Explosions in the Israeli town of Yafo
in central Israel near the Ben-Gurion International Airport
This first blast, uh, occurred about 1 and a half hours ago
that's about half past eight in the morning Israeli time
A second blast occurred 10 minutes later in another vehicle
parked a couple hundred meters away from the first blast
[Cilvaringz]
Defeat your enemies with violence, not culture refinements
Right? And show your love diamonds that's blinding
Under the eyelids of men, women and children of all color and religion
I guess building underneath the ceiling of a universal temple is essential
To break through the iron fists of war and swinging damn swords
See, Remedy and I, we swarm as one colony to make you wonder what you die for
But why you murdering our kids?
When all we've got to defend ourselves with our bricks
And stones, can't you hear us moan?
We all out on the streets 'cause you destroyed our home
Nah, you took our food, shelter, and clothing and left us naked
Only to cover ourselves with black seeds of hatred
But right now, whoever's right or wrong
I wonder if we'll ever get along as brothers from different mothers
[Remedy]
I heard a boy crying, two kids dying
Young Israelis, they said the Palestinians were lying
Who's to blame? We set fire to your flame
They withheld the names of the Jews held in vain
Jump into a tank in the far West Bank
There's violence on the Gaza Strip, who's to thank?
Listen! Babies crying
Life lost, Holocaust style, bodies flying
Surprise and surround you, we run rings around you
Silver with the blue and white stars-who we are
We unite, people alike
Strength comes in numbers, all ready to fight
Humanity's song for peace
There's war going on in the Middle East
Build, destroy, build the beast
Sharon and Arafat, Remedy, counter-attack
What's The Cure? Yo, RZA, where you at?
[RZA]
Positive education: always correcting errors
You can never gain peace by inflicting terror
And strapping bombs to arms
Running up inside buildings killing little children and moms
Instead of trying to take land, y'all should shake hands
And give respect to the great father Abraham
You've been fighting over Palestine since Saladin
Have you learned what the word 'non-violent' mean?
Or turn the other cheek? You burn your brother cheap
When ten grip came home we gave his brother sheep
RZA used to be recruiting troops and shooting fruit
When you both be seeds from the same root
Even when young Moses was lost in the desert
He was taught wisdom from an Arabian Shepard
My pen is mightier than CNN
Right now I teach you how to C (see), N, N
Close your eyes silently, breathing deep
Inhale this air all the way to your feet
Then exhale slowly through your nostril
Combine the Torah, Qu'ran, with the Gospel
With your mind open and eyes shut
You can't tell the difference of who's who and what's what
Please educate Allah's children everyday
[Remedy]
Armed and dangerous, the man renames nameless
The face though is famous
Movin' shadows, cut you up though, somethin' shameless
Knife dallaba, white horse gallaba
Gold plated, swingin' with the double-edge sword, excalibur
The fiery-red, seven head blue-eyed devil
Hollow be thy name on the sixty-sixth level
My hands bare lambs blood, marked on my door step
Your first born swept, while your snake ass slept
Words to Live By, the human eye, can't identify
Can't lie, die before the day I rat and testify
Never talk, or you can chop my head, with the tomahawk
Damned if I can't fuck you, let my man a walk
Took an oath for you and me both
Sworn to secrecy, the plan is to expand like growth
So, remember that, can't turn your back on the pact
True fact, so what's your next plan of attack, now?
[Chorus x2: sampled singer]
Whatcha gonna do
When time's caught up with you
[Remedy]
Yea..
What I live for is what I'll die for
Revolutionary Third World War, got guns galore
Master Southpaw, right hand jammed to the jaw
Last thing that he saw, was a left at the floor
I always tell my old man pops, I'm goin' out gunnin'
Turn our asses into liquids, and we're off and runnin'
Prepare for what's comin' and that's it
Takin' one shot and gettin' hit in this world of shit
My roots stem straight from Bethlehem
Starring three wise men, Heavensent, livin' Old Testament
Mosaic, poetic, Judaic by genetics
Those who speak don't know, and all semetics
God forbid, me as a kid just caught in the mid
Of the code we live, eye for eye and tooth for tooth
Regroup the youth, stare them down and teach them the truth
Organized revolution, yeah I got proof
Now what?
[Chorus x2]
[Remedy]
Whatcha gonna do? It's on you..
Time's tickin', the plot thickens
Yo, for this conversation, don't leave the phone
Don't speak to soon, meet the hand of your doom
It's on a need-to-know basis, watch out for two-faces
I know about some unsolved homicide cases
If it come down to it, what am I gonna do?
Put your life in my hands, I'll take a bullet for you
Brother-to-brother, in life and in death
Expand as the words of a mother are just poison as breasts
It's so funny, seen most sell their soul for money
In a land once filled with mad milk and honey
Human sacrifice, man's vice, fire and ice
Livin' person, every man's head has a price
Cut-throat, no suicide note, armor-plated under the coat
Level four is your antidote
Grown men you never know when your whole world could just come to an end
Keep the faith 'til then, though
[Chorus x2]
[Outro: Remedy]

Oh babe is such a tramp
Screamer creamer, a trick in the camp
You're sittin' on the fella's faces
Helpin' them live their wildest dreams
The seam in your jeans has disappeared
And I know where it's gone
Screamin' and dyin' deep inside
I know it's gone their alone
I know when you're wearin' a dress
You're not wearin' nothin' else
Except that cheeky smile on your face
Momma you got a certain sluttish grace
You're such a whore but your honesty glows
Like a badge you have won
You worn the boards right into the floor
You've only just begun
You're just a rag but you're not a bag
Indeed what makes me cry
Three hours later I'm a gammy leg, you're still waitin'
My balls are dry
The seam in your jeans has disappeared
And I know where it's gone
Screamin' and dyin' deep inside
I know it's gone their alone
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know
I know it's gone their alone
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know
I know it's gone their alone
Momma I'm a down
You got me down
Down on my knees and I'm screamin and dyin'
Down on my knees you got me screamin and cryin'
Ooh babe, Ooh babe
It ain't easy to take it mama

[Intro: Remedy (Clocka) {Sweetleaf}]
The warning y'all, this is a warning yo

Code red (Yea yea yea)
This is the code code red
(What?) Yo yo you've been warned
(Uh-huh) {This is a warning}
This a warning yo {Warning}
(War nigga) Code red
[Remedy]
Yo yo, I came to warn you, strike and swarm you
Inform you, knowledge born you
They're on you, cameras in corners
Men who take orders, closed quarters of slaughters
Tell ya sons and daughters
Behind the closed doors it's an old wise man
With the power of destruction at the palm of his hand
Understand, how it got there is this
Not a mark in his list, white face, data risk
Son he couldn't miss, his chance to pull the strings at his dance
Control the whole world through the power of trance
How you see it?
[Clocka]
From the outer circle runnin, I'm an inner circle gunner
Clocka, holdin my block down, dope beat, polite sound
Dump, you heard it through the track in the speed bump
You need somethin to rush off, here take this poem
Inject it in ya vein, real strong
Don't dumb out, there's more than three ways for you to come out
There's mental state, check the medallion plate
Myself know what time it is, release, I got somethin to give
Are you driven? Are you strickened? Yo it's sickenin
I hear it too much, control the Dutch, clutch my hand in a ball
All I need to know is when it's time to brawl
Before you walk you gotta crawl 'fore you stand too tall
Feel ya own height, seen you stagger through the scene on nights
Don't understand ya kind, this just a warning, a warning
[Chorus: Remedy (Sweetleaf)]
Yo this a warning, I look and see a new day dawnin (Warning)
This a warning to every man born and sworn in (This is a warning)
The Remedy, I look and see a new day dawnin (Warning)
[Remedy (Sweetleaf)]
Watch this catch like a wildfire, burn in the blaze
Release those of you, most of you were caught in the maze
We got six million ways to shine like sun's rays
So do what we do to get through the last days (the last days)
[Clocka (Sweetleaf)]
Try to listen to the science of life
Anythin but that mean you don't give a fuck about your's
Until ya door's kicked in by Mac-eleven machine men
Army green men but not the ones that's toys boy
That's for sure, if not in case you've been warned
I roll with a Clan that swear they raise they right hand
And smash ya with they left, appear an injustice, it's right there
Get sent back to the essence, kid you wildin like an adolescense
In c-seventy culture, get hung like a wanted poster
Trust me, and Rem-D, ain't the ones to contest G (This is a warning)
You totally desobeyed the first one, break you and fire at you, I know it
hurt done
[Remedy (Clocka)]
Follow instructions, the black gun pulls like suction
Evil minds plot destruction, corruption
+Az the World Turnz+, born into a system of third degree burns
With no knowledge there's no wisdom, we all fall victim
Sign of the times, society's lost, controlled, read between the lines
(Warning)
Yo it's late night, come up in ya bank
Computer flippin, microchippin
Insert the disk in, see who's worth a million
They come for the killin, we know where you livin
Come kick ya shit in
Comes the door and three or four men pour in
Yo you upstairs snorin, we in the safe, panel floorin
Come and go like we tourin, bottomline is we scorin
Half way across the country by the mornin
The Remedy with the Clocka quest
Through ya treasure chest, comin up in anybody's rest
Yo peace and God bless, warning yo
This is a warning yo, this is a warning yo, this is a warning..
[Chorus 2X]
[Remedy]
Code red warning, yo, code red, code red
[Solomon Childs]
I'm all in it for the beef, save the barkin for the real dogs
[Remedy (Sweetleaf)]
Born and sworn in, this is a warning, yo..
This is a warning.. (Warning)
Uh-huh, you've been warned
Come to warning (This is a warning)
[Solomon Childs]
Lyrics spit like shots to ya police
Killa Bamz, the best thing since yeast
Don't have the gold why you cats is brass?
Solo kids you talk to fast, I peal with math
WTC, world war predicate law, hundred percent raw
Rock the universal crown, all Wu-Wear down
Nobody jokin, lyrics leave ya camp backbones broken
Broken..
[Sweetleaf]
This is a warning [x5]
Remedy, the Remedy
[Intro: Remedy (JoJo Pellegrino)]
Yeah (Rem?) Yo (Yo, you hear me, kid?)
Joe, what up? (Yo, you got that for me, man?) Uh-huh
(You got me more than one) Yeah I got you 3 tickets to the game
(How's the seats) Definitely not nose bleed
(Good) Box seats, guaranteed (perfect, perfect)
(So what, same as usual then, kid) Yup
(Alright, then I see you when I see you, say no more, say no more) Sounds good
[JoJo Pellegrino (Remedy):]
We had to learn the trip so well (took it a thousand times)
Knew the ins and outs of the route (pushing through county lines)
Hustle, risking chance, occupation is ducking swine (yo, fuck the middle man)
Box the cake in like Duncan Hines (let's get this over fast)
Through my nose in grams, took a sample blast
This the shit (slid the cash across the table glass)
Flood the street like backed up sewers (stack funds foolish)
Raps much losers (jacked up whores) steaks and Peter lugers
(Texas Hold 'Em in the clubhouse) minimum bet (t-bone)
Toasting bottles to the neighborhood mobsters that soon to be home
(Break bread) Break the code of silence (break legs)
Every man eating (every man happy) well fed, plus said
(Speed limit) Route 66 (discrete whip)
With more than one set of keys in it (pack coffee beans with it)
Hand trucks, thousand pound safes weight (a NASA tour with big apes)
Pump jacks (cylinders) cakes
(Whipping through states) We sacrifice it all and bleed for that bargain price
(Cash up) Only thing receive on the arms of stripes
(Wire taps and bugs) informants get wrapped in rugs
(Local thugs) behind beer mugs (and social clubs)
Rolling dubs (that's 2 grand) the out of state connect I run
(The size of Christmas trees) purplish fuzz (yo, hit your cause)
Three hundred fifty pound bails (digital scales that weigh whales)
Compound buckets and garbage pails
(20 clip sales) priority mail (Canada trail)
Never stale to fail product banging (like hammers and nails)
My man from Rose Bank (wild Albanian dude) holds rank (drove tanks)
Busted ATM's out of closed banks
(Home invasion) adrenaline rush, the thought of scoring
(Boom goes the door in, 3 or 4 men pouring)
This extortion (101) black mask (gloves and gun)
Reach for the stars and you done (rob you for fun)
Call it a shakedown (beasting it) yo, fuck the police and shit
(A nickel back sold in the park) we want a piece of it
(Nation wide distribution) like Caroline and Koch
(Arizonas) no pimples (thirty pound blocks)
Federal agents watch (rubberband knots) burial plots
Who gave un gats (million dollar yachts, pull out the dots)
Supply and demand (supply and demand) give up the greens
(Set up the team) this is the American dream
[Chorus x2: Remedy (JoJo Pellegrino)]
Yo, this is real live transporting (something like a movie)
With no film edits or credits (from yours truly)
Network for net worth (clockworks, spin like the Earth)
[Intro: Killah Priest w/ Heart adlibs]
Yeah... Supreme Hebrew Intellect, Rem-D
Killah Priest, Iron Shiek from the Middle East
A/K/A Masada, 'Lipps, let me feel you
This is the Testimony... The Testimony is here!
[Chorus:]
[Killah Priest:]
As it is written, my life, love, uh-huh
The present, man, they taught me
Words of a tortured soul, it is the weather
[Heart:]
This is my... this is my Testimony
Brought around, I feel his presence on me
The demons often told me, these problems often crossed me
And I, I, I...
[Killah Priest:]
My poems, my cribs, my money, my wiz
My accounts, all the expenses, all my amounts
Means nothing, from my eyes, I've seen thy coming
I sleep when I dream, I see kingdoms crumbling
Ask my pastor, visit rabbies, even got baptized
Six times, on the sixth day
I sit and pray, Bibles, Torah, send 'em my way
This tortured filled with me rage, these loyals buildin' for days
Open up the graves, givin' hope for the slaves
Like the Shuyah, Tribes of Judah, my life's the future
The past is in my notepad, you read it like the forecast
Revolution: warpath, execution, I wore rags
My head up, I talk to the clouds
Lords of Laws, please walk with your child
Cause if they try to kill me, bring the jury
And the whole court will come down
Fuck these pagans, workers for Satan
Disguised through your lies, came through poor education
The world's lookin' for a leader, he's the head of the nations
Read it in revelations, believe it, if you're weeded
They final destination, will be their devastation
I could just picture wings comin' out of our backs
Open up the flap, the whole sky turns black
The economy, collapse, and that's that, this is my testimony
[Chorus]
[Remedy:]
Yo, I was made in the grounds, way beneath the streets
Wrapped up in Hebrew sheets, resurrected
Supreme Hebrew Intellect, what you expected?
I inject you, you've now been infected
In search of a rabbi, I found Killah Priest
Lakihim, merushuliam, you pray, facin' East
In a land, soaked sacred, rebel for common error
Blood, sweat, tears, terror
Lost souls, angels, the dead sea scrolls
Hidden in holes, barefooted, walkin' on coals
Behold, I'm at the lion's gate, controllin' my fate
This is I and don't hate, Heaven skies could wait
The most high, most try to get close by
This is it, Words to Live By, voices cry
Now or never, do or die, thou shall not tell a lie
I'm a fly, livin' that live, testify
[GUNSHOT]
[WOMAN SCREAMS]
[Movie sample during intro]
Everyone wants that ambush
Everybody got killed in that ambush
You've got nowhere to come but this way
The only one thing they see is God
You could go in between and feel the fire
Then buckle up!
[Intro: Cappadonna (Solomon Childs)]
The Ambush.. it be The Ambush
What? It be The Ambush
What? The Pillage
(Yo, yo, Killa Bees)
[Remedy (Cappadonna)]
Yo.. Ambush, bag 'im, hands behind the back style, gag 'im
Grab 'im by his head, start to drag 'im
Kick 'im while he's down, fast first in the ground
My thirsty bloodhounds surround your compound
We want all we want when we want it
The rules of this rap game, MC's come to be hunted
We're like oxen, and this be the anti-toxin
Corrective, here to put you back in perspective
Gun check, Remedy, +Protect Ya Neck+
Bring the swords up, hit the deck, disconnect
One glance and it's evident, the war's begun
Brave men wield their swords and their shields in the sun
Some MC's clash, some fall to the ground
Some stand and talk, and get severed apart
Smell of death, burnt flesh
Son, you get what you get when you mess with the Killa Bees nest
Invaders, real life hip-hop crusaders
Clash of the blade, Tomb Raiders, ya saviors
+Judgment Day+ is now, son, there's no more pretend (take money)
God's callin', stand tall, fight to the end
[Chorus: Cappadonna]
In The Ambush these thoughts are caput
In The Ambush y'all cats is Big Foots
In The Ambush you get your face mushed
In The Ambush these thoughts caput
[Solomon Childs (Cappadonna)]
Lyin' in the huddle, my team ready to Ambush
Maria's Child, youngest boy, ain't the one to be pushed
What? Do the knowledge to The Ambush
Flashin' my understandin', your style I stay romancin'
Blood like video games, unlock the base
All up in your face, like Papa Dukes talkin'
You must reveal, you never built nothin'
Shorty frontin' like you said somethin'
Never had a Remedy, blaze like Mark on Belly
The God Cappadonna helped me walk my dogs (Take money)
Tell respect, pay less, respect Catalog
It's fucked up, the nigga stay writin'
Solomon Childs, location Body Brighton
[Chorus: Cappadonna]
In The Ambush you get your face mushed (BLAP!)
In The Ambush these thoughts is Big Foots
Yo! In The Ambush get ya face mushed
[Cappadona]
I move crews like I'm pushin, you just cushion
And real petty, your mind can't hold it
It's too heavy, Rem-D slash Big Donna
Was all ready, tanks came in
My niggas'll keep aimin', assault the fake rappers
It be The Ambush, motorcyclist MC's can't ride with the Hill-billies
Fuck 'em, Pillage, deaf until we get off the stage
Run for the nine-one-one wishin'
Break a reign from the rainbow coalition
Popped off, Ambush, the graveyard shift
Niggas'll take it off, be the ambush
The whole Pillage is Big Foots, be The Ambush
[Outro: Cappadonna (Solomon Childs)]
In The Ambush, take money
In The Ambush, these thoughts are Big Foots
In The Ambush, in The Ambush, you get your face mushed
Take money, in The Ambush (Ambush)
These thoughts have been pushed
In the Ambush, y'all thoughts is caput
(Uh.. uh) You get your face mushed
In The Ambush (Hold money) Take money
(Take money.. money) In The Ambush
Remedy.. (uh) slash C-A-P
In The Ambush, Pillage (We live y'all)
In The Ambush, the whole Pillage is Big Foots
(Killa Bees, Don Don, Rem-D, Solomon Childs)
Be The Ambush, you get your face mushed
Be The Ambush, it be The Ambush
It be The Ambush..

(Rose Tattoo)
My babe said she won't be home tonight
Says she's got a lover well...that's alright
Hey little schoolgirl, won't you come home with me
We'll drink some Coca Cola, and watch my color t.v.
Yeah, sing it ??
Hey babe I'm stuck on you
Hey babe I'm stuck like glue
Hey babe you know I'm stuck on you stuck on you
Like a Rose Tattoo
I had a colored parrot, but it made me cry
I just forgot to feed it, and the little bugger died
I had a fish named Sam, he lived in bowl
I heated up the water, so he wouldn't get cold
Now he's gone, now he's gone
Hey babe I'm stuck on you
And hey babe I'm stuck like glue
Hey babe I'm stuck on you stuck on you
Like a Rose Tattoo...yeah, yeah yeah
Oh babe, stuck on you
Oh babe, I'm stuck on stuck on you
??? I love you true
Hey babe, you know...
You know you got me stuck like glue
Stuck on, stuck on, stuck on you
(Anderson/Cichon)
Does destiny wait for me
Or is life just a charade
Are we beats from a single drum
Or jokers on parade
CHORUS
Some of us are winners
Some must lose
When you feel the power
It's time to choose
And say goodbye to your old ways
You won't need them
Goodbye to the old days
They won't be coming around
They won't be coming around
Again
CHORUS repeat
Goodbye to the old days
They won't be coming around
They won't be coming around
[Intro: RZA (Remedy)]
Yo, yo, yo..
BOODOODOODOODOODOO
Yo, yo, yo, yo..
(Block 'em)
'Bout to give y'all the Remedy for ya sickness
For y'all 501 +Whiteboy+ hip-hop baloons
My nigga Remedy's the ones we choose son
Let 'em go, yo..
+Spazzola+, yo..
[Remedy]
Yo, eh-yo, fuck that, the Remedy'll counter-attack
I throw the match on ya hate-stack, actual fact
My life's a trial, government name is on file
B-LOAW! We came outta exile, for miles
I see past the immediate and gaze on the ultimate
Conquered it, Wu affiliate and proud conglomerate
My pen hates all y'all fake rap infiltrates
Terminates, back with a force like angry inmates
We kill tracks East to West, Barracks and back
Pillagin with the Cap, we mix white with black
Concotin the Shaolin deadly toxin
Return of the Killa Bee Swarm in Chessboxin
[Chorus x4: Remedy]
Reuven Ben Menachum, block 'em, block 'em
[Remedy]
+Never Again+, +Never Again+, it's us against them
Uh, peace to Yad Vashem
Now +I Declare War+ on MC's, a rush to the forearm
We form the figure-four and broad-arm
Sulfur solution, Rem-D, six-hundred proofin
Jump into the booth, let off my contribution
Freeze ya, leave ya mouth cotton
Kill you in ya sleep with the seizure
Have you for forgotten?
Fatigue ya, Rem-D spoil ya plans rotten
Leave ya wit amnesia, ya can't hold steady
It's too heavy to you, ain't ready
Reuven Ben Menachum, we +Calm But Deadly+
Block 'em!
[Chorus x4]
[Remedy]
Any time in this presence
I strike an image that bears resemblance
No questions, sixty-six new lessons
Rules of engagement, snake fucks fall to the pavement
These fake fucks suck life through mental enslavement
God once told me, "Get to know me, behold me"
Created me in the image of he
Now it's evident, disinfect your regiment
The sediment, Remedy, twenty-first century
The fruit of justice is peace, lust destroyed by the beast
Kosher pa reave, the +12 Jewel+ feast
My life ain't complete, no surrender, no retreat
Long walks, hot sand and bare feet
Now we're ageless and timeless, ya hopes are mindless
Rewind this, eighty-fives stay stuck in the blindness
Swallow me, fight for equality
Follow me, Remedy, born child prodigy
Stand up for your rights, don't give up the fight
Accept that the time is right, out dated laws we've got to fight
And not just support the cause, gotta change the law
Time to support the cause
Gotta realise, gotta legalise
Gotta change the law
Gotta legalise, gotta realise
We're not children anymore
In '79 the time is right, earth's children must unite
To give our weekend fight, what is our human right
Support is what we need, to keep the movement free
Support is what we need, to keep the movement free
Gotta realise, gotta legalise
Gotta change our thought
Gotta legalise, gotta reaalise
We're not children anymore, not anymore
Gotta realise, gotta legalise
Gotta realise, gotta legalise
Gotta change our thought
Gotta realise, and we gotta legalise
We gotta keep the movement free yeah
Gotta set the children free yeah
Gotta legalise, gotta realise
We gotta keep the movement free yeah
We gotta keep the movement free
We gotta keep the movement free
[Intro: Remedy (children)]
"This is worldwide!"
Life... and what does it really all mean ("this is worldwide!")
Reflect on that (R-E-M-E, D-Y) check it out, though
[Remedy]
I caught my first half brick in '87
I thought I knew it all, few years past eleven
Middle class kid, who grew up fast, kid
Sharp as glass, skin'll crush like a large mouth bass
In a world movin' fast, can't live in the past
Momma said that the best things in life don't last
Another chapter in the storybook, one more sung
And it's so true, only the good die young
This great country has gone to hell
Nobody listened til the Trade Center fell
Everything that once was good, has just turned back
Happiness has faded to sad
This is just what the industry ordered
Come and get your therapy, Remedy, my own worst enemy
The hits come free, straight from the M.C.
The R-E-M D, now, that's me
[Chorus: Remedy (children)]
If you down on your luck and your just gettin' by (R-E-M-E, D-Y)
If every fuckin' day you love to get high (R-E-M-E, D-Y)
If life really sucks and you just want to die (R-E-M-E, D-Y)
Show no weakness and never let them see you cry (R-E-M-E, D-Y)
[Remedy]
Now I retired from the drug game
Self preservation on my family name
I got into this music game, with thoughts about fortune and fame
To find the music and drug game were two in the same
We got dealers turned artists and artists turned dealers
Squealers, pro stealers and big four wheelers
Iced out chains and platinum frames
And big big guns and big big names and
Hollywood's burnin', it must be the music
You can ask E. Sermon (do-do-do-do-doo)
We got, club promoters who turned label owners
Yo feed the homeless, man, we need blood donors
Here's an M.C. advisory, nothin' about the industry's clean
The only thing that matters is green
It is what it is and exactly what how it seems
Cash Rules Everything Me, C.R.E.A.M.
[Chorus: Remedy (children)]
When you see me on the street and just walk on by (R-E-M-E, D-Y)
If every time speak can't help but to lie (R-E-M-E, D-Y)
If you stuck in the kitchen and got fish to fry (R-E-M-E, D-Y)
Now reach, reach up and touch the sky (R-E-M-E, D-Y)
[Remedy]
Now I looked the major labels straight dead in their face
And I told 'em, "yeah ya'll, thanks but no thanks"
They wanna throw a few hundred g's in my face
Like I ain't already have g's in the bank
They wanna sell me fame but I don't wanna buy it
My name in the game is enough, keep quiet
They got live bait and they wheelin' in fish
So all you fuckin' artists best to make one wish
There is no difference between us and them
I was doin' this before now til then
Now everybody wanna sign the next white rapper
Don't make me have to, be the one to slap ya
[Chorus: Remedy (children)]
Suicide, it's a suicide (R-E-M-E, D-Y)
Who, what, where, when, how and why (R-E-M-E, D-Y)
Suicide, it's a suicide (R-E-M-E, D-Y)
Who, what, where, when, how and why (R-E-M-E, D-Y)
[Outro: Children]
This is worldwide (R-E-M-E, D-Y, R-E-M-E, D-Y)
This is worldwide, if you don't know, now you know
Remedy! (R-E-M-E, D-Y) 2002, come through, yeah (R-E-M-E, D-Y)
(Rose Tattoo)
She hit town a rose in bloom
Smell the sweet, sweet perfume
The color faded and the petals died
Down in the city no one cried
And in the streets the garbage lies
Protected by a million flies
With roaches so big they got bones
They moved in and made themselves at home
I say nice boys...don't play rock'n'roll
Nice boys...don't play rock'n'roll
I'm not a nice boy!
Sweet sixteen she was fresh and clean
Wanted so bad to be part of the scene
She met the man and she did the smack
And now, she pays the price layin' down on her back
Want so bad just to please the boys
Ended up bein' just a toy
Played so hard burned her life away
Lies were told no promises made
Nice boys...don't play rock'n'roll
Nice boys...don't play rock'n'roll
I'm not a nice boy...and I never was
Young and fresh when she hit town
Hot for kicks just to get around
And now she lays in a filthy room
She kills the pain with a flick and a spoon
And in the streets the garbage lies
protected by a million flies
With roaches so big they got bones
They moved in and made a tenement home
Nice boys...don't play rock'n'roll
Nice boys...don't play rock'n'roll
Nice boys...don't play rock'n'roll
Nice boys...don't play rock'n'roll
Nice boys...don't play rock'n'roll
Nice boys...don't play rock'n'roll
Nice boys...don't play rock'n'roll
(Rose Tattoo)
They were so damn glad when I left school
Said I was crazy 'cause I broke the rules
Time to start livin' my teenage dream
Out on the streets it was rough and mean
That's why...they call me one of the boys
Got tattooed arms and rings in my ears
Never gonna suffer a straight man's fears
Better have a drink, crankin' with the mates
Movin' fast I'm gonna make the grade
That's why...they call me one of the boys
That's why...they call me one of the boys
I'm pushin' it hard, I'm pushin' it fast
Gotta work it over, I gotta make it last
What you need is mates, staunch and true
Hold out your back they're gonna see you through
I don't look for trouble but I won't hide
I'll jump on you if you don't step aside
That's why...they call me one of the boys
There's one thing I've learned
And I know it's so true
Bad girls love bad boys but
Good girls love 'em too
I was young and wild, so much to learn
A fierce bright flame and hot to burn
Can't turn back 'cause the die is cast
I die young, from livin' fast
That's why...they call me one of the boys
That's why...they call me one of the boys
That's why...they call me one of the boys
Ah yeah...I'm just one of, I'm just one of
I'm just one of the boys
I'm just one of, I'm just one of
I'm just one of just one of the boys
I'm just one of just one of the boys
(Anderson/Meyer)
Are you believing what they tell ya
Are you swallowing their lies
They say you should be happy
Deep inside you cry
They are deceiving, when they tell ya
Things'll always work out fine
They hope you are not able
To see between the lines
You must believe, you must believe, you must believe it
There are no secrets anymore
There are no secrets anymore
What's that you're hearing, there on the phone
Is it something strange you hear
Does it sound like someone's listening
Does silence bring fear
Have you been frightened, by that feeling
That some stranger knows your mind
They say we live in freedom
Are we so blind
We must believe, you must believe, you must believe it
There are no secrets anymore
There are no secrets anymore
And it's a sad day
(Anderson/Meyer)
Michael O'Reilly he's a desperate man
Fighting for his liberty
Michael O'Reilly he's a dangerous man
Fighting for his family
Michael O'Reilly he's a peaceful man
He's not a man too shy
Michael O'Reilly he believes in life
So he's not afraid to die
CHORUS
Hey Hey Hey
Don't be sad today
The people always win in the end
There'll come a day
The guns rust away
And Ireland will be free again
Michael O'Reilly truly loves his land
He loves it with his heart and soul
To his family he's a patriot
A rebel by the law he is called
There is only so far you can beat a dog
Before he turns around to bite
There's only so long you'll abuse a man
Before he stands up to fight
CHORUS X2 Repeat
CHORUS X2 Repeat
Sing it
Hey Hey Hey
[Girl1] I got into another fuckin fight with my nigga today
[Girl2] See what I'm sayin? Niggaz ain't shit
Especially them project niggaz
[Girl1] For real, peep those niggaz right there
[Girl2] What you mean?
[Girl1] That nigga right there, that six foot night right there
Tossin his fuckin nines like he's the Don
[Girl2] Nah, nah, nah, shorty right there
[Cappadonna]
Girlfriend, what you did was wrong
Baby my love is still strong
on some King Kong ding-dong
Never celebate, never souflan
poppi kin, poppi wardrobe king
Suck her G-spot, and you know she so hot
She said she love me a lot
Remedy, she told me she drop
Fuck her so hard, all outdoors
Pussy is mines and plus yours
Didn't mean to turnin em out, turnin em on
Stetched out in front the next girl house
BB dick out, Remedy, slash Cappadon'
Slash pardon me for turnin you on
Turnin you on
[Chorus: Cappadonna]
Girlfriend
BB conduct, BB conduct, BB conduct
Didn't mean to turn you on
BB conduct, BB conduct, BB conduct
[Remedy]
Check that yo, fuck what he thinks
You know the pussy bleeds and stinks
Buy ya tranked out, blanked out, all crazy in pink
I seen the pussy kill the best of men and take down kings
Fuck material things, fuck ya phat diamonds rings
Men do lifetime bids for this, 2 lips hit the clitoris
Inconspicous, hit with Syphilis, ridiculous
One gash, came between the man and the stash
Half his cash, sucker for love ass
Souflan, no doubt, was never in the plan
Ball-and-chain, pussywhipped man can't understand
It's like the Cappadon said
MCF means you thinkin with ya head
If you thinkin with ya dick son, ya might get sick
Cuz when it comes to the piece son, ain't shit for free
Either pay for every piece of it or start a family
Now all rise and eyes on the prize of this song
And if I did I never meant the girl to turn you on
[Cappadonna]
Sellin ya gold, sellin ya soul
You crossed out, and crossed over
Gold digga and Hilfiger, booster and strippa
Flip on a nigga too quicka
Projects, is what I deal wit
Cold-hearted chicks catch on fast
Twist they ass, take more cash, and more crack
Tishy on the block, like bitches never do that
I protect females that fuck me on the first night
Bitin my spray nozzel, see Goines
Turnin y'all ladies, off and on, popcorn
Freddy Kruger, thoughts of how I'm gon' do ya
Ya mind all screwed up, BB conduct
All of y'all girls are outta luck
Takin too long, givin ya shit up
BB conduct, BB conduct, BB conduct, BB conduct
[Chorus to fade w/ variations]
[Outro: Remedy]
Turn you on..
(Rose Tattoo)
Well, I was just a young man when they took me across the sea
Dressed me up in jungle green just to fight for democracy
I was just an Aussie boy in the jungle for the war
From all around the world we came not really knowing more
And you're a long way from home
Oh yes a long way from home
When you're all alone
War's got a way of making strangers into friends
I met three sons of the south and they became closer than kin
Thank god the orders came to bring the war to an end
With tears in my eyes I said goodbye to my best friends
Bobby and Bear, Sailor Bill and me
We was fightin' for democracy
Bobby and Bear, Sailor Bill and me
Us good old boys just got to be free, yeah
Now I know I'll probably never see those sons of the south again
To this Australian boy they'll always be closer than kin
And so I raise my glass to you, Bobby Bear and Bill
And though we're worlds apart, I'm thinking of you still
And men will be men wherever they may be
Deep in my heart you're the only friends of me
Bobby and Bear, Sailor Bill and me
They were fightin' sons of the confederacy
Bobby and Bear, Sailor Bill and me
Us good old boys just got a right to be free
Bobby and Bear, Sailor Bill and me
Us good old boys just gotta be free
(Anderson/Cichon/Beamish)
I was never the one to go
Looking for love
Threw it to the wind
Trusting heaven above
Heartache and pain
I didn't need it again
But as time goes by
I find that I'm
CHORUS
Falling
Falling into your love
Now I'm calling
Cause it's never enough
When I make love with you
I find that it's true
I'm past the point of no return
I lived by the rule
That I'm safer alone
Cause love hurts so bad
When it's time to let go
Heartache and pain
I didn't need it again
But as time goes by
I find that I am
CHORUS repeat
Now as time goes by
I find that I'm
CHORUS repeat
Falling
Can't you hear me calling
Now that I'm falling
Do you hear me calling
Do you see me I'm falling
[children screaming]
[bell rings]
[Man over P.A. system]
I need your attention now kids
Due to the recent events that have occured
Effective immediately, all classes are suspended
Until further notice
[children cheering]
[Remedy]
Black and white notebooks and ball-point pens
The first day of school, might make some new friends
From the 103, dreams to me was a Benz
Or the 3 o'clock bell that sounds when school ends
Lunch room status, we used to roll dice
Bang beats on the tables to see who was nice
Swore we knew it all, didn't want no advice
How unfortunate, some paid the ultimate price
We used to cut class all day, roam around the hallways
With little wooden passes
I remember 6th grade, assembly, shirt with tie
The young little Remedy, wonderin why
I did what I was told to get to junior high
Cuz at that point in time I believed I could fly
Big blue binders, young designer finders
Livin in the world with no rules, high school
Language arts, I sat and wrote darts
My mind ran wild and free like +Young Hearts+
Mathematics, where I based my foundation
Fall to the nation on wack Education
[Chorus: Children of the World (Remedy)]
We don't need no Education
We don't need no thought control
(What we need?)
What we need is information
Teach us, leave those kids alone
[RZA]
Yo, yo, sit in the back of the class with my hand up
2 wild security guards just grabbed my man up (HEY!)
Threw him in detention for 5 days suspension
Cuz sunset, the teacher was lyin about the Indians
Tryin to tell much of the story of Columbus
Tryin to brain-numb us, when all you see, that came from us
They copy-carvin, I learned about Gods and
Taggin Wu logos on the corner in my book margin
Phat shoe laces and tri-colored sneakers
I stood up like a man then I questioned the teacher
"How did Europeans black out in dark ages?
And when it got light did they white-wash the pages?
Why is it average college kids stuck with low wages?
You wonder why these students walk around with 12 gauges?"
Intense like a New York riot, she stood quiet
And said, "Mr. Diggs, may I please speak to you in private?"
[Chorus]
[Remedy]
"Put away your things, pop quiz"
Yo who he thing he is though messin with them kids?
All he ever did in my 9 to 3 bid yo
We don't really need no, won't you let us live
Misinformation straight from the board of education
Percential government issue number 2 pencils
Scantron sheets, gettin mark incompletes
Yo, "Keep still", "Get up on the wall", "Fire drill"
Routine line-up, snitch how you do us
Try and fool us with the big yellow school bus
But nonsense, parent/teacher conference
The system's invincible, go see the principal
[Chorus]
[Remedy (Children of the World)]
Put a freeze on the nation, board of Education
(Hey teachers! Leave those kids alone!)
Try and fool us with the big yellow school bus
(All in all we're just another brick in the wall)
Diploma or not, got to use what you got
(All in all we're just another brick in the wall)
Even if you drop out, there is no cop out
(All in all we're just another brick in the wall)
Bunch of preachers, so-called teachers
[Chorus]

36 crazy fists, Baby Chris
Kept a tray eighty, slip down near his ass split
Quick to spit, maybe hit
Anybody on the block by, he talk fly
Hawkeye, chalk lie on blocks, nobody's drop
Like hopscotch, boxes being drawn by cops
Maybe Chris, iller dealer will splat the skully box
Big head and his little seed Yaqub, terrible
So black he was blue, knew, when he grew
That he would study math, and learn to draw devil
And speak three toga, learn sheik yoga
Think with the force of Yoda
70 percent satisfied, 30 percent dissatisfied
So they fraternized and scatter lies
And build a brotherhood, with black hoods
We stack goods, livin' in backwards
Rollin' weed up in back woods
[Remedy]
Baby Chris got a cousin named Abe, he got the mind of a slave
Generous but the heart that's brave
Said he gave his whole life, came to save the kids
From the cradle to the grave, for what you think they did
On his praise to The Abbott, said he'd kill for the Wu
Started learning jujitsu, and kung fu too
Mastered and traits on how to rush gates
Learn to DJ and how to put explosives in crates
Now a few years past, wow, some learned fast
How to blast, quick dash, run and gun for the cash
Nothin' else mattered, paid his dues killin' crews that ratted
He was bruised and battered
With 2 twenty two's in his shoes, it's where he kept shit cookin'
Waitin' for his time to attack, who wasn't lookin'
36 crazy fists, cousin' Abe, Baby Chris
That and this, nobody gave two shits
[Lounge-Lo]
Aiyo, I clapped with the best of the clappers
Rapped with the best of the rappers
And I snapped with the best of the snappers
Hold on dog, let me tell you how I be heglin' hackers
Fuck the machine, I rock jeans, can't fuck with slackers
Know them lame ass niggas label, pickers and packers
I'd rather stay in the game with them, stickers and stackers
The kid fuck with building attackers, coke pushers
Dope felons, weed smokers and heat holders
Underworld street rollers, you know the rig
Throw a rock at the heads, who thought the beef was over
See the life, but the streets are colder
Momma love, got to watch her back, because niggas heats don't know her
But if it's indirected, it's gonna pop off in one second
And for the record, dog, best to start settin' it
[Solomon Childs]
My voice box of a thousand
And use for promotional use, for thugs who rep housin'
They can't name me, free Tommy Gunns, we pitbulls is arson
Body Brighton, the black mask, I blend in the dark wind
It becomes a new line cinema
With preaches of a project minister
Cuz of the bloodshed, he made movies
Wifies with attitudes, look, we talk groupies
Bust our guns at the storm like big web
And made an offer to the rev
That by any means necessary, I'mma die for the bread
Front page criminal, startin' a clean spread
Until you faggots, see you muthafuckas at the crossroads
With your heart wounds from me tossin' crossbows
And I ain't sendin' no cross codes
Believe when I tell you that
I got cats that'll hit you with the forty and open up your torso
These permanent red stains on your body like up North Pole
Reign supreme like I'm sittin' on Egyptian throne
[Outro: sample scratched up (Solomon Childs)]

They tried to put me away
But I'm back and I'm here to stay
Nothin can stand in my way
'Cause I'm dead set and I'm ready to play
Dead set about playin', I'm dead set gonna try
I'm dead set about winnin'
I'm gonna be first over the line
I'm sick and tired of bein' second best
I'm sick of hearin' the lies
I'm dead set about winnin'
I'm gonna be first over the line
They thought I was a monkey, dancin' on a string
But I'm more like a scorpion
And I'm mad as hell and I'm a-ready to sting
Dead set about playin', I'm dead set gonna try
I'm dead set about winnin'
I'm gonna be first over the line
I'm sick and tired of bein' second best
I'm sick of hearin' the lies
I'm dead set about winnin'
I'm gonna be first over the line
I'm gonna be first
They used me like a fool, they treated me like dirt
Just because I didn't moan, don't mean it didn't hurt
They tried to put me away, but I'm back and I'm here to stay
And nothin' can stand in my way
'Cause I'm dead set and I'm ready to play
Dead set about playin', I'm dead set gonna try
I'm dead set about winnin'
I'm gonna be first over the line
I'm sick and tired of bein' second best
I'm sick of hearin' the lies
I'm dead set about playin'
I'm gonna be first, I'm gonna be first, I'm gonna be first

I got professional dancehall status than the average
Known to +Tear Da Club Up+, 16 shot semi-automatic
Let go through metro politics
Left big holes and shit, blood on ya outfit
[Remedy]
Turn up the bass, check out my melody and doubt it's the God
I'm lettin knowledge be born and my name's the R
E-M-E-D-Y sent from a-far, a Wu Killa Bee on a 6-sided star
Yes we can can
[Chorus 2X: Lounge Mode]
Everythin is love in the clubs, we sell drugs
(Yes we can can, yes we can can)
Shots and slugs, one time buck shots for thugs
(Yes we can can, yes we can can)
[Lounge Mode]
Yo what's the low budget dust in the Dutch that got me fucked up
and twisted, you better believe I got the biscuit
Othorized slash Rem-D slash +Pillage+
I'ma kill it, soon as you talk I'm in ya skillet
[Remedy]
From the concentration camp we went straight to the ramp
Put my face in the stamp, '88 BB champ (BBC!)
Rem-D find me in the H buildin but don't waste ya time lookin
I keep shit cookin
[Lounge Mode]
I'm at the midtown and tellin 'em, "About to get down"
and how it went down when me and Clocka Dot, we had to spit rounds
Broke the car and jumped out, jetted then we pumped out
Every last round in the clip and left 'em slumped out
[Remedy]
You wack like a mob contract, catch a body
Like Tommy Ballotti, 4-5ths to Louisvilles
+Shoot to Kill+, still never ran, never will
The Remedy gets you open like them pigs in the Pill'
(Yes we can can, yes we can can) [x4]
[Lounge Mode]
The word from the WB, they said it's actin
These bouncers frontin at +The Tunnel+, on to Staten
Killa Bamz spit out, Bobby all Diged out
Wild Baneen Method Man night, I got kicked out
[Remedy]
Yo just when you thought it was safe to make records
We right dead smack in ya face in 10 seconds (Yes we can can)
Slingers and guns, ain't nothin funny
Reformulate, build with the Queen and drill honey
[Lounge Mode]
I walked off like I'm Lucky Hands
Yo who the fuck wanna touch my man?
Twin guns in the sand hidden
God forbid it, if you fuck around you lay around
Red infrared light was on point and spittin
[Remedy]
Now to the know, the free man banned and understanded (Yes we can can)
Everythin's love up in the club man
The green Bud man on some American Bandstand (Yes we can can)
I'm in the club, come show me some love man
(Yes we can can, yes we can can) [x20]
[Outro: Lounge Mode]
Yea nigga, word nigga

Rem-D slash Othorized slash +Pillage+
Midtown went to get down
Yo WB, East Barracks
Nahmean? Shaolin baby

If you cut out my heart I could go on living
I sold my soul for borrowed time
Things not meant for the mind of man
Secret dark shadows deep in his mind
Just look in my eyes and you'll see it
There's something in mine you ain't got
If there's something you want that's worth havin'
Don't settle for less, take the lot
If you're the devil's daughter
I'm the devil's son
Well fuse with so full passion
Incest will be done
Sister...I'm the devil's son
Black cats and priests won't cross my path
Where I spit, no grass will grow
You never ever met anyone like me
That's all you need to know
I've been a sinner for far too long
To ever wanna be a saint
If Satan wants me, he can come and get me
I don't give nothin' away
If you're the devil's daughter
I'm the devil's son
Well fuse with so full passion
Incest will be done
Oh, Sister...shake hands with the devil's son
The devil in you is only in my head
Lucifer lives in my soul
I made a bargain for glory and riches
Paid the same price as days of old
I heard all about divinity
But angels don't turn me on
They say life's for livin' so live it
Find a Highway To Hell and lead on
If you're the devil's daughter
I'm the devil's son
Well fuse with so full passion
Incest will be done
Look at me, sister...you're lookin' at the devil's son
Sister, brother, sister, mmm lover
I'm your brother, I'm you're lover
I'll be your lover, sister
Ooh sister
Hey sister! Ooh, here I come!
Ooh sister, here I come!
I'm the devil's son, sister!
Ow sister! Ow sister!
Ooh, Ow sister, sister, sister!
Here I come, sister!
Sister, Aaaahh!
If you're the devil's daughter
Look at me I'm the devil's son
Well make love with so full passion
Incest will be done
Oh sister, look at me I'm the devil's son
I'm you're brother, ooh sister
Ooh yeah, look at me sister
Look at me sister
Look at me sister
I'm the devil's son
I'm the devil's son

Laboratory tested and foolproof, inspected
You've just been infected son the dart's been injected
Straight ahead slowly but surely keep steady
My everyday medley is +Calm But+ stay +Deadly+
Rap potions, free-willed controlled emotions
Earth, wind, fire, air, land, sea and ocean
The rap disease global, blow trees
with the noblest MC's, Wu-Tang Killa Bees
How High? Mass multiply, proven Wu ally
Bobby blessed me with +The W+ and the power to fly
Now I skyscrape it, landscape it
Masquerade, hover above and watch these real cats fake it
[Solomon Childs]
Godfather spit lightenin
Wu-Tang rookie of the year from Body Brighton
Mastermind Killa Bee manhunts, Amsterdam blunts
Legendary dart raves, for live renegades
Bleed for green paper, repair miz
My Killa Bee Swarm split wigs, break ribs
Eighty-eight stick-up kids
High drama, harpoon expert
You see the God, you throw ya shine in ya sweatshirt
Death before over-darted
Me and the microphone barred, never departed
Solomon be retarted, cold hearted
Now you shook but you never, should have started
[Chorus: Remedy (Solomon Childs)]
Eh-yo, where you gonna run to? There's nowhere to hide
(On some real live manhunt, take it in stride)
We spit nothin but the real shit you bound to get hit

Eh-yo, where you gonna run to? (There's nowhere to hide)
On some real live manhunt (Take it in stride)
We spit nothin but the real shit (You bound to get hit)
Takin off the with the torch (Once it's passed and lit)

General warfare manhunt for real
What the deal? Hold more steal than kids under the stairs
Move for thirty-six years, knowledge throughout my foundation
Me and Remedy transport the devastation
World war, comin for ya neck, body ya soul
Upcome and behold, full control
End the situation, figure ya fold
Solomon Childs got this rap shit sold
You wanna battle? Stop speakin in codes
Highest level, ain't nobody gettin above me
QBin on the Wu robbery
Wildin like an HDM predicate with cuffs, G
You don't want no problem
[Remedy]
Collaborate, Solomon style, thoughts elaborate
Grown men congregate and come for ya magistrate
Break through enemy lines, land up mines, levitate
Quick son, motivate, no time to hesitate
One wish, me and CO team six back in Auschwichz
Table switch, US concentration camps exist
We move in disguise, from Shaolin to Mount Siahnide
Drama seconds, I blond remix from cyanide
I seen it at the pyramid of Geezer, fear type Ceaser
+CREAM+ resembles the Scrooge of Ebenezer
The rich get richer, we use words to paint pictures
You want the truth? +Words to Live By+, run and get ya scriptures
[Chorus: Remedy (Solomon Childs)]
(Eh-yo, where you gon' run to? There's nowhere to hide)
On some real live manhunt, take it in stride

Takin off the with the torch once it's passed and lit
(Eh-yo, where you gon' run to?) There's nowhere to hide
(On some real live manhunt) Take it in stride
(We spit nothin but the real shit) You bound to get hit

The charge was assault & battery
The judge said there'd be no bail
The charge was assault & battery
They dragged me off to jail
I did no crime she was no friend of mine
Vengeance and justice went hand in hand
But there's a law for the rich, and a law for the poor
And I'm just a workin' man, I'm just a workin' man
They took no notice of her tears
But they were gettin' drunk on her fear
I arrived in time to spare her fate
That little girl would feel no shame
I did no crime she was no friend of mine
Vengeance and justice went hand in hand
There's a law for the rich, and a law for the poor
I'm just a workin' man, I'm just a workin' man
The charge was assault & battery
The judge said there'd be no bail
The charge was assault & battery
And they dragged me off to jail
They turned on me mad, crazy and mean
I stole 'em the cake, they were gonna cream
They leapt on me like a pack of dogs
Pullin' me down, they wanted me flogged
Punchin' and fightin' I got to my feet
Determined to leave their blood on the street
If I went down now they'd kick me to death
That sweet little girl would be left a wreck
I did no crime she was no friend of mine
Vengeance and justice went hand in hand
There's a law for the rich, and a law for the poor
I've been a workin' man, I've always been a workin' man
Their waitin' on me when I got out
And they stabbed me full of holes
It's now a case of kill or be killed
Unwritten jungle law
I did no crime she was no friend of mine
Vengeance and justice went hand in hand
There's a law for the rich, and a law for the poor
I'm just a simple workin' man, I'm just a simple workin' man
The charge was assault & battery
The judge said there'd be no bail
The charge was assault & battery
Three years in the stinkin' jail
The charge was assault & battery
The charge was assault & battery

There's anthrax in the air, it ain't safe to breathe
You could come but you might not leave
You could stay, but you might be dead
When spontaneous combustion fills up ya head
Radiation from ya cell phone, layers off the ozone
Introducin' the first human clone
Ya hear me, it's the stem cell theory
Replacement parts, livers, lungs, brains and hearts
Dioxribonuceaic acid
Gobots, high tech, humanized robots
Microchip, six million mega bits
All types of shit, virtual reality, age of the Internet
Evolution, hazardous, waste pollution
The scare of chemical warfare
Gas masked up, not givin' a fuck, armed and dangerous
The first order, is don't drink the water
[Chorus x2: Remedy]

Stop, look, listen, read

Chronologically, ancient technology
Primitive ancestors, modern archeology
A caveman's manifestation, space exploration
Extinction, over population
Star Wars defense systems, state of alert
Level 5, Code Red, yo, you might get hurt
Mother Nature takes course, natural disaster
Parallel force, then the day after
Napalm bombs now no one's left
Electric funeral, life to death
Fire in the sky, now what's the plan?
And is there a God, and who made man?
Adam and Eve or the Big Bang Theory?
Who ever said the Sabbath day was Sunday?
How could you worship a mystery God?
And life's not fair now, times are hard
[Chorus x2]

The P.D., F.B.I., C.I.A. to the President
NASA, the government, levels of embezzlement
Secret society's, spyin' me, watchin' me
Eyein' me, waitin' impatiently tryin' me
Pass the present, older to younger
Slavery, genocide, disease and hunger
Full of wickedness, viruses and sicknesses
Black plague, small pox and AIDS
The war machine's turnin', ashes, bodies left burnin'
Box of destruction, build and destroy
Deaths construction, the great depression, inflation, recession
This is a warning, worldwide global warming
Beginning of the next new ice age forming
California sinkin', Waterworld's comin'
The shit goes down, ain't no one runnin'
(Rose Tattoo)
Thirty days in the county jail
Let me out and I just wanted to wail
Some fool tried to hold me down
I got drunk and I ripped up the town
I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
Well I...I went around just to see my chick
I found her room and it was candle lit
She's makin' love to another man
I shot 'em both and they locked me in the slam
I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
Mmm bad...so bad
Well I...I heard the the weather was a local break
It was a chance I just had to take
I jumped the wall and I was on the run
They came after me with a thousand guns
'Cause I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
Yeah I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
Yeah I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
Honey I'm bad...thirty years mama
(G. Anderson/J.P. Young/W. Morgan)
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
I wait for Tracy, and she waits for me
Outside my window making eyes at me
She's in the bedroom, gonna set me free
An old girlfriend dropped in for a cup of tea
I let her in, we made it three
And All Hell Broke Loose
All Hell Broke Loose
All Hell Broke Loose
All Hell Broke Loose
All Hell Broke Loose
All Hell Broke Loose
Between heaven and this side of hell
I was born a lover, and I do it well
She was younger than her looks would tell
With a little style they carry well
Teenage daughters Eloise and Annabelle
Four of us swinging, ringing like a bell
And All Hell Broke Loose
All Hell Broke Loose
All Hell Broke Loose
All Hell Broke Loose
All Hell Broke Loose
All Hell Broke Loose
Swinging, ringing like a bell
Look out, hell's breaking loose
All Hell Broke Loose, ringing like a bell
All Hell Broke Loose, Hells
All Hell Broke Loose, breaking loose
All Hell Broke Loose

Yeah, word...
Godfather shit... you know?
Take your mind off it (yeah, what?)
[Solomon Childs]
My projects, this the funeral homes and Laundromats
Hall of fame, for niggas who hit off gats
Late comer, ain't turned ghetto since fourteen
In the hood it's only money that the drop bring
Solomon King, and when the toast ring
You know I know, you yellow back niggas'll run
Talkin' shit, is like walkin' wet on the third rail
My fault for hurtin' ya'll sales
About to party like I'm Bobby Rail
Cop grams off a Dominican in the well
Fifth borough, marquise, livin' New York soap operas
I see more drug dealers than doctors
Neglect, hold a ratchet, but to Allah I'm still innocent
I keep correspondin', wit thugs who needs witnesses
Uncle Wise, 21st century
[Chorus x2: Solomon Childs]
Ghetto celebrities, penitentiary bars
Jealousy, guns, jigga spot number runs
Criminals and deceased stars
Look around you, son, who wouldn't get high
[Remedy]
We make music, til the wee hours of morn'
These grays in my beard grow as time goes on
Nothin' like the feeling, when you're hearin' our song
The best things in life just don't last long
Can't believe it, even little Barbara's gone
Wifey cries everyday, but tries to be strong
We all do things we no is dead wrong
Can't get it where you fit in, if you don't belong
Wait for no man, make moves for delf
You can't understand, I write songs for self
Seen misery and company, along with wealth
The real jewel is happiness and good health
Know cats that had money and now they're dead broke
Straight up clean kids, who now smoke coke
Smokin' up cigarettes and died of a stroke
What used to be respected, now is a joke
[Chorus]
[Remedy]
21st century, my suggestion to you is to Remedy
If you don't know your enemy, then you're already dead
Rest in peace, God bless, the realest shit said (life)

Last intermission, Body Brighton thrill-ogy
Stressed out momma, Stephanie Mills
Project black house, sell crack to pay bills
New York crime scene, narcotic crime kings
Chicks with the Chinese doobies, gold diggers wit the tight cooties
Searchin' up the candy wit the big booties
Draw part headed, hard headed growin' up
And hard head will make a soft ass
Rock pool old sneakers to class
Introductions, the building of a plateau
Playin' dominoes wit the beer hoes
I thought Pink and B.D., be here forever
I thought Sandy Brock would play basketball forever
I thought Storm Fields would always give the weather
Momma said "never say never"
[Chorus x2]
[Outro: Solomon Childs]
Life, and that's the way it is
Solemnly swear, to always tell the truth
Tell you what I see...

Did you know I was a danger, did you know I was a threat
I might even be a killer, but they ain't pushed me that far yet
I've been branded, branded
I wear the mark of the slave on my head
Branded, branded
I know the feeling of the yoke on my neck
Branded, branded
I bear the scars of the lash on my back
Branded, branded
I've had enough and now I'm gonna fight back
Gonna fight back
Did you know I was a rebel, yes I've always been one out
And though they tried so hard to kill me, you will always hear me shout
I've been branded, branded
I wear the mark of the slave on my head
Branded, branded
I know the feeling of the yoke on my neck
Branded, branded
I bear the scars of the lash on my back
Branded, branded
I've had enough and now I'm gonna fight back
Because I need to fight back
Yes...fight back
Did you know I was a danger, did you know I was a threat
I might even be a killer, but they ain't pushed me that far yet
Did you know I was a rebel, yes I've always been one out
And though they tried so hard to kill me, you will always hear me shout
'Cause I've been branded, branded
I wear the mark of the slave on my head
Branded, branded
I know the feeling of the yoke on my neck
Branded, branded
I bear the scars of the lash on my back
Branded, branded
I've had enough, I'm gonna fight back
I'm gonna fight back
Yes, 'cause they branded me
They hunted me, they ??? me
They hunted me like an animal
They branded me a slave
They invaded my home
They put a yoke around my neck
They made me work...they beat me
Like an animal
They made me, they made me want to kill
Just to be free
They beat me, they took away my freedom
They took away my dignity
They tried to destroy my soul by breakin' my heart
They tried to change what I believed
By breakin' my very will to live
Drove me, they hounded me
I was beaten, I was driven
I was thrown in jail for the things that I said
I got a million thoughts runnin' in my head
I got a million words, that my mouth has just got to say
I gotta speak out, I gotta speak out
I'm gonna reach out and touch your heart
Before they tear us...tear us apart
I gotta tell you about the lies
(Anderson/Cocks)
I was a rough boy babe I was a tough boy babe
I really made you bleed
I used you babe and I abused you babe
Now tell me what more do you need
What more do you need
Don't turn the other cheek
Unless you want it beaten in
Fight violence with violence
It's the only way to win
All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn...burn 'em
All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn...gonna burn 'em
Leave me alone, don't talk to me
'Cause I got nothin' to say
Oh Leave me alone don't tell me the rules
'Cause I don't want to play
I don't want to play
Don't turn the other cheek
Unless you want it beaten in
Fight violence with violence
It's the only way to win
All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn
All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn...burn 'em
Ow! Gonna burn!
Don't kiss me babe, don't miss me babe
I won't remember your name
Don't hold me babe I told you babe
For me it's just a game
It's just a game
Don't turn the other cheek
Unless you want it beaten in
Fight violence with violence
It's the only way to win
All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn...burn 'em

The laws of physics keep us ground to the solar
The soul controller, secondary to the power of polar
Magnetic tendencies with mobile independancies
Essentially balls in energy, mankind yearns for Remedy
Rival countries declare war for control of the land
Money and power, man, proceeds to kill man
By the hour, daily mixtures, predictions by biblical scriptures
Yo life's a nonfiction, that's your picture that hits ya
Vision quest, the true test of fruits, the nature's temptations
Where man meets the devil and the greed of the nation
There's no excuse for the iducin, of Lucifer seducin' ya
Abuse of the mental's defusin ya, confusin ya
Inconclusiveness, thought can't be taught with no nucleus
There's truth in this, truth master, self-exclusiveness
For glory, the blood of a million spilled, a long stories
It suits ya, Remedy forever givin knowledge for the future
[Beretta 9]
There's no devil without the God, no time's without the hard
No struggle without the strive, we all fight to stay alive
In this wilderness, who missin off, my nigga's soul leak with the safety off
I observed through the corner of my eye, pull the five, most is blind
Falling victim to the time, there's no shit without the crime
My silent weapon is my mind, soldiers come forth and shine
Together as one mind, united we stand, so let us all combine
Together as one mind, for once scrape the nine
Then culturally refine, make notes to waste no time, niggaz

Mr. Miraculous, super spectaculous
With more gun blade then Bronx Tale, so you can call the kid Sonny
You little nigga, mad, cause you gettin' slow money
Brace yourself, as be Wisdom Allah Rule
Megas chew through, gorillas on the move
Reflect when I react, fifty caliber, kept slumped on
I'm takin' it all, from your team and your bottom fronts
It's music for niggas who drive drunk...
You a duck, standing in front of your cell
Holdin' your C.R.E.A.M. cuff, what will you lose?
Cash, and you ain't even gettin' high
Runnin' to the bubble and the pressure applies
Sing' ain't lie, glitter like showcase emeralds
All generals are soldiers, but all soldiers ain't generals
Stand close enough to smell the espionage, God
With shells that solve like Capri's on homicide cases
I could see it in your eyes, you all up in the wrong places
[Chorus]
[ShoGun Assason]
Yo, yo, I sling war slang like cocaine
Verbal dope that numbs your brain, like a shot of Novocain
In your death you will feel no pain
I should teach you with my sword, and the tip was poisonous
Snakes speak lies and their words is venomous, Wu hits come continuos
So I don't give a fuck about '97, ain't feelin this
See what I'm revealin is the truth, and actual facts be the proof
The youth be the fruits, and the elders be the roots
I stand solid, on the firmament, this black man be the dominant intelligence
These be the word's from my testament
[Remedy]
Yo, yo, against the odds, devil with the gods
Fertilize the eggs, spread and plant new pods
The savior, three sixty degrees from the alpha to omega
Walks with the blue light saber, Remedy know the enemy
Ancient mathematics from the mentally headstrong
Physically and mentally, mind in meditation
Constant elevation, resistin temptation
Hidden master plans of world domination

I want to be a pirate
Sail the seven seas
A vagabond a buccaneer
Nobody badder than me
A parrot on my shoulder
A rolling deck 'neath my feat
Coloured tattoos 'n' golden rings
A pirate's life can't be beat
I wanna sail the seven seas
Just to live a life that is free
Sailing, the bounding main
Playing, a pirate's game
Sailing, the bounding main
Playing, a pirate's game
I gotta be a pirate
Sail the seven seas
A vagabond a buccaneer
Nobody badder than me
I'll fly the jolly roger
I'll live without a care
Wanna be a lovable rogue
Dashing and debonair
I wanna sail the seven seas
I've got to live a life that is free
Sailing, the bounding main
Playing, a pirate's game
Sailing, the bounding main
Playing, a pirate's game
I wanna sail the seven seas
Just to live a life that is free
Sailing, on the bounding main
Playing, a pirate's game

I've been a battler all my life
Every step I take I earn
I done wrong and I've done right
But I'm always willing to learn
Cool chics, good smoke, bourbon that's eight years old
You cannot say you ain't been told
'Cause I like pretty young girls, good smoking drugs
Bourbon that's eight years old
I was wild when I was a kid
My flame was burning bright
I was in love with being alive
I was a lover in the night
Cool chics, good smoke, bourbon that's eight years old
You cannot say you ain't been told
'Cause I like pretty young girls, good smoking drugs
Bourbon that's eight years old
You cannot say you ain't been told
Cool chics, good smoke, bourbon that's eight years old
You cannot say you ain't been told
Well I'm a lover not a fighter
I want the softer things in life
Good cigars 'n' good whiskey
They never bring me strife
Cool chics, good smoke, bourbon that's eight years old
You cannot say you ain't been told
Well I like pretty young girls, good smoking drugs
Bourbon that's eight years old
You cannot say you ain't been told
I like pretty young girls, good smoking drugs

You don't know me (you don't know me)
And you never will (never will, never will)
All you want (what you want?)

So what, we smoke blunts together
Maybe shot guns, together
So what, we might've once run together
Sold a few pounds, so what, we might've once been down
Or maybe even cool right now
So what, we from the same block and sold the same rocks
We love Biggie, we both love Pac
So what, we from the same hood, and up to no good
I suggest ya'll knock on wood
Wanna smile in my face, then go talkin' that trash
At the end of the day, yo, I still got cash
I got money to burn, to see what's real, and who's fake
Yo I'm very well learned, know a man from a snake
Enemies are friends, and friends become enemies
These are just a few of my guaranteed remedies
You can trust me about as far as you can throw me
For the record, S.M.D., you don't know me

What up sweetheart? You wanna taste my dart
And at the end of the day, maybe steal ya heart
Nah, don't say nothin', girl, play your part
And where the finish line, you don't know from the start
Yo, don't think about marryin', or baby you'll be carryin'
I'm not ya average Joe, Moe, Tom, Dick or Harry in
It's bout a buck, or a quick simple fuck
Maybe babies just start talkin' shit outta luck
Maybe one night stand, maybe jump in the van
You don't know me, but ready yet to cheat on ya man
What you don't understand, bitch, you don't know me
And that goes for all of ya'll bitches, you could blow me

Congratulations, I heard you got the deal
Take a number and welcome to the game, it's for real
Surprise it's all recoupable, everything they gave you
Nobody said nothin', but the paper wasn't stapled
Sign on the X, maybe buy you a Lex'
Maybe get you some sex, move you out in the jets
You never know what's next, best Protect Ya Necks
Ain't a damn thing changed, show the game respect
Well oiled machines, and money hungry fiends
You can sell your soul and be a part of the team
You're a number in a stack, like a player in his back
If you don't make hits, it's a wrap, it's a wrap...
What kinda sales are you seein'? They don't care about ya well bein'
Or how's ya crew and how's ya family doin'
Yo, labels look at artists like they just another number
Sell ya dreams and tell you anything, just to take you under
[Chorus]
[Outro: Remedy]
Ya'll don't know me
(Anderson/Meyer/Cichon/Beamish)
Winnie Mandela born a princess
She's a prisoner in her own land
Her only crime was to fall in love
With a strong and honest man
Her only crime was she fell in love
Winnie Mandela knows of heartache
She's married but seldom a wife
She found the strength to rise above
The pain the trouble and strife
Oh yes she rose above the pain the trouble and strife
CHORUS
Winnie Mandela fuelled by the love of her land
Winnie Mandela lives for the love of her man
Her only crime was she fell in love
Winnie Mandela lives with real pain
Keeps it hidden until the night
For 20 years she has slept alone
Tears can never put that right
For 20 long years she's slept alone
(Anderson/Wells)
Who's got the gold, left someone cold
Done something so bold, who's got the gold
Who's made of crime, stepped out of line
Done something sublime, who's made of crime
Stepping out in the cold and rain
I've seen it before and it still looks the same
Who's got the cash, who's got the cash
Who's got the cash, who's got the cash
Tell me (who's got it)
Who's made a deal, been out to steal
Done something unreal, who's made a deal
Who's been out late, to prowl and rake
Did not hesitate, who's been out late
Stepping out in the cold and rain
I've seen it before and it still looks the same
Who's got the cash, who's got the cash
Sure ain't me!
Who's got the cash, who's got the cash
Tell me (who's got it)
Stepping out in the cold and rain
I've seen it before and it still looks the same
Who's got the cash, who's got the cash
Who's got the cash, who's got the cash
I wanna know who's got it
I wanna know who's got it
I know it's not me who's got it (who's got it)
And I know it's not you who's got it (who's got it)
Somebody, somebody's got it (who's got it)
Someone's got the gold (who's got it)
Someone's got the gold
Who's got the cash
Who's got the cash

Whiteboy, whiteboy
[Remedy]
A man and his word, and two big balls
Just knows who and when to call
Just knows what to do when he coming for you
Look out this is gangsta y'all
Building the way and no way out
You know just what I'm talking about
You can hope and pray, no matter what they say
That's just stand up and shout
Whiteboy, whiteboy, yeah, born original sinner
Whiteboy, whiteboy, yo, be home for Sunday dinner
Now some white kids they wanna be black
Some white kids don't know how to act
Some turned rap and take the stand
Cause the lines were straight up fact
This whiteboy knows how to jump
This whiteboy could fucking hump
Murder-ass verse with the beats that pump
Don't cop no shit, don't talk no junk
Maybe you should, maybe you should
Maybe you could, or maybe you could
Known to eat that pussy good
Maybe you would, maybe you would
[Chorus x2: Remedy]
Whiteboy, Caucazoid
Hard-headed b-boy
He's not a decoy
Puffed up and paranoid
[Hook x2]
[Remedy]
Play that funky music whiteboy, that's what they're
saying
Play that funky music whiteboy, yYou keep on playing
We don't give a fuck (Right) You don't give a fuck
(Right)
I can smell a fight
Looks like somebody might lose their life tonight
(That's right)
So sad, that's how it goes
Nobody's safe and nobody knows
Each and everyday, the size of it grows
Remedy Ross don't overdose
[Chorus]
[Remedy]
Budweiser 12-pack, always got that murder sack
Shoot at me and I'll shoot right back
Remedy Ross counterattack
Brown hair, blue eyes

True lies, apple pies
Surprise, surprise, we need alibi's
Pale redish white skin
Thundering white lightening
Heard too much, just say when
Know what's up, aight then
[Chorus]
[Remedy]
Budweiser 12-pack
Always got that murder sack
Shoot at me and I'll shoot right back

If ya wanna be in my gang, stand up with me
We'll start a revolution and make the streets free
We'll never weaken, we'll give it our best
Can't be defeated, we're better than the rest
Shoulder to shoulder, we're gonna stand
We're gonna fight to the very last man
Can't be defeated, don't know the word
Shoulder to shoulder, we'll fight the world
We can't be beaten, what'll we tell 'em boys
We can't be beaten
There comes a time, when every man must fight
When he believes in justice and right
He'll take so much till he'll take no more
They'll hear us coming when they hear the mighty roar
Shoulder to shoulder, we're gonna stand
We're gonna fight to the very last man
Can't be defeated, don't know the word
Shoulder to shoulder, we'll fight the world
We can't be beaten, Let me hear ya
We can't be beaten, Sing it out loud
We can't be beaten, We'll tell the world
We can't be beaten
Now listen, everybody out there that really cares
You gotta realize that you're the real power
We can rule the streets
It's just up to you and me
Can't be defeated, don't know the word
Shoulder to shoulder, we'll fight the world
'Cause
We can't be beaten, hey hey
We can't be beaten, you gotta believe it
We can't be beaten, they'll soon find out
We can't be beaten, no

We can't be beaten, when they hear our voice
We can't be beaten, they'll hear us comin'
[Movie Sample]
All that shit right? Right back to the television, right?
Conversations over?
You don't ever disrespect me the way you did tonight!
You understand me? This is my house, alright?!
I paid for all of this shit.
(Get the fuck outta here
Don't you dare! Don't you dare!)
Shut your mouth, Shut up!
[Intro: Sweetleaf]
U Don't Care, U Don't Care, U Don't Care, U Don't Care
[Chorus: Sweetleaf]
U Don't Care, only stop and stare
When I'm over here, you're always over there
When I'm over there, you're always over here
When I'm far then you're near
When I'm near then you're far
Out drivin' in your car, U Don't Care
Going to the bar, U Don't Care
Swearing you're a star, and thinkin' who you are
What am I to do, is it me is it you?
[Remedy]
Yeah, yeah, but I do, you never get a clue (never)
I tried to do us, but it's all about you
Yeah, U Don't Care bitch? Well go and do your hair bitch
You wanna be rich bitch? Well I'm the one that got you shit
Judging our relationship, always out comparin' it
Bitch start carin', and all the wear and tear that we share
Wouldn't be so hard on a heart left scarred
If you don't get your way (way), another cloudy day (day)
Everything is real love, check it, from the first day we met
Until the day I made this record (U Don't Care)
You was always on the set
To my career you were second, to the rest, you was first (U Don't Care)
I love you (U Don't Care), you're my personal nurse
(U Don't Care, U Don't Care)
[Break: Sweetleaf (Remedy)]
Yeah, yeah, but I do
(U Don't Care, U Don't Care)
Nah love, that's not true
(U Don't Care, U Don't Care)
Huh, it's me and you
(U Don't Care, U Don't Care
Momma always told me life's not fair)
And poppa always told you girl be prepared
(You say you do but you don't, say you will but you won't
U Don't Care anymore, I'm packin' up my bags) Where you goin'?
(And I'm walkin' out the door)
What for, what for, what for, what for, what for?
(U Don't Care, U Don't Care)
[Remedy]
Yeah, Heaven's angel, I rock you like a bangle
Dream lover crushed you from all angles, star spangled
I brought you in, you with the family
Things were good, you always understanding me
Yeah, I turned your life into a fantasy
Did all that I could do with it, as far as true
I was always true with it, this is you and me, me and you
Just doin' it, you went and blew it
I love you, always thinking of you
Don't let the petty he said, she said ever get above you
What you mean that some silly chicken's cluckin'?
Talkin' who I'm fuckin'
[Chorus]
[Movie Sample]
You still fuckin my sister!?!
Get the fuck out my house!
Don't fuck with my sister!
Don't fuck my sister man!
I fuckin told you, you don't be fuckin lyin!
I'll fuckin kill ya ass [girl screaming]
[Remedy]
Mic check, I walk around the Shao'
Wit the jet black nine by my waistline, kickin' the hype shit
I never claimed to be the best white rapper
But have to, show these muthafuckas what I'm after
I'm after ya soul, and after that, ya album
Beef after to that, Lounger Lo packs the gat, son
Chka-bang-bang, yo bust a slang wit my name
It's the Rem-D, on the six train
Sike, you muthafuckin' right, tonight's the night
To do what I wanna do, to make you like, wanna fight
What you expected when the darts been injected
I huff and puff and blow ya shit down, make ya head split
Huh, pop a pill, smoke a blunt and don't front
On the izim, if you do, my man, we gettin' bizum
A weak addict, oh yes, puff the magic
And smoke it til it's true, yes, I do, gots to have it
I don't care about any fuckin' star
Cuz no matter who you are, you still catch a bullet scar
So listen up, or you'll bleed for what I'm sayin'
Cuz tonight's the night, and me and my people's ain't playin'
[Interlude: Lounge Lo]
Yo, ain't supposed to be playin' man
Aiyo, aiyo, what's that? That fat funky sting you're smellin'
[female singer] "I'mma give it to ya, give it to ya, give it tonight"
Piss and pee, for I takeover there, man
Word up, you see it, ya'll, for real
I be the calling, man, aiyo Slash, hit me off one more time, baby
[female singer] "Love me when you love you baby"
[Remedy]
You wanna see me act fool, please, save it for the breeze
Cuz my lyrics in tracks, blow backs and buckle knees
Fuck the bullshit, I get down wit the two clips
And do shit, I shoot more shit then the troops hit
But tonight's tonight, whether wrong or right
This type of shit, wit the flavor like raw spit
Smokin' out, and it figures, it figures
The peeps around me, keep their fingers on the triggers
I keep a shorty between my lap cool, and flyin' down the freeway
Coppin' a wop cuz it's "me-day"
Went over to pick my toys up, we make a lot of noise
Cuz, we can do that, cat, in my habitat
Yo, be nimble, I do the type of evil that men do
Like pissin' out my window on a bitch and her friend too
So turn the volume up a notch and let me in ya crotch
Bu-bump, I hit ya g-spot
That's the fuck, when I jump at nature
Like, hump, hump, hump, hump, hump, hump
But if you wanna see a dick gigantic, not romantic
More Slicker than my man Rick
You better check the White Pages, under Remedy
Cuz I ain't down wit no enemy
Distribution fucked up my first album
But this time I'mma let my fuckin' style run
[Interlude: Lounge Lo]
You, Jimmy Neutron, Frukwan
Hear another avalanche, huh, word up
"I'mma give it to ya, give it to ya, give it tonight"
I slip a mickey in ya bucket, push it up, real hard
Real hard, for sho', know what I mean
There's gonna be talkin'
[Remedy]
Wi-wi-wi-wiped by supply and demand
To expand my hand to the mic and let my mouth kick the phlim-phlam
I drink Bud, I drink Beck's, I gets mad drunk
I get a shorty in the forty, we go fuck, yo, you
[Outro: Remedy]
Aiyo take this shit off Charles man, aiyo, put the new record on, man
(Anderson/Meyer)
Growing up it take a lotta time
First you learn the music then you learn the rhyme
Melody is what you need when you're down
Harmony the world goes 'round and 'round
Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead
To my room I panicked and fled
It wrecked my mind and filled me with fright
Elvis, Chuck 'n' Jerry got me through the long, long night
Gotta pull on my jeans and my dancing shoes
I'm going out and sing some rhythm 'n' blues
Rock 'n' roll is the name of the game
And when it takes me over things ain't the same
Lotsa times we played for free
We had a taste we had a need
Twelve bar blues in four bar time
Beautiful words that just fell in rhyme
Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead
They're going insane they must be out of their head
Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead
But I don't care what the radio said
You will hear the banshee sing
The day you lose that shuffle 'n' swing
You will hear the death bell toll
The day you lose that rock 'n' roll
Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead
To my room I panicked and fled
It wrecked my mind and filled me with fright
Elvis, Chuck 'n' Jerry got me through the long, long night
Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead
They're going insane they must be out of their head
Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead
(Rose Tattoo)
It happened in the suburbs north of the river
Where the smokestacks scrape the air
And gangs of short haired boys roam the streets
Get out of there way, 'cause there out to get there share
Now Butcher, he was the leader
Had a reputation for being tough but fair
He knew life was just a gamble
So he lived from day to day without a care
Stick around and I'll tell ya
About Butcher and Fast Eddy
Across the river lived Fast Eddy
He was known to be treacherous, very mean
Even Eddy's sweet young sister out on the streets
Just a girl, barely fifteen
Now Fast Eddy, he led the rival gang
And he claimed he was better...than most
One day I'm gonna fix that Butcher
Always seemed to be this cocky braggart's boast
There's only the quick and the dead
I wanna know who's layin' down
Now, I'm gonna win this fight said Eddy
Yeah...'cause I'm gonna take a knife, and I'm gonna take a gun
But Butcher, he told his mates as they gathered 'round
I got two good fists, and you know I never...
Never ever ever been afraid of anyone
And it came the night, at last for their meeting
I can't lose said Eddy, 'cause I'm the best
But the cold light of morning found Eddy
His own switchblade knife...buried deep in his chest!
Yeah that's it all....Oh-WOW Butcher, and Fast Eddy
Yeah that's it all
And the law never did touch Butcher
And I'm so glad, 'cause I know so well
He was a born with a wild free spirit, and he never...
He never was the kind to live locked up in some dirty stinkin' cell
And the kids, they still talk about it
In the back streets and alleyways around town
They still talk about that cold, windy Saturday night
[Lounge Lo]
Ay-yo I talk what I talk, who gon' shut me up?
Why you think of blowin' me up, or blowin' the dutch
Keep a double 4 in the clutch
Staten Island, Lounge Lo
Park Hill Projects, and that's what's up!
Keep it commin', spit fire daddy
And ya'll niggaz is lame, before I go just remember the name
I'm in the hood where they shoot guns by the seconds
You in the hood where they shoot guns indirected
L.O.B.B. see TV, call B.I.
Tell him to tell D.I. to come see me
Wit' a bag of knuckle-head
And who am I to give a fuck about the next man?
Who care if he fuckin' dead
Me, right! Is gon' spaz on ya'll, spaz on ya'll
Got to get my cash on ya'll
I got a brick ta work, I said ya'll can't have none
Ya'll can't have none, plus I got a chick ta work
My score is nice, don't ask about me twice
Test 3 times, it'll cost ya life
Gotta stripper that'll give ya no ice
Nah'mean?? And the same bitch will clipper ya pipe
Fuck wit me!
Gotta strong circle that'll hurt you, from little babies grown-ups
Plus them outta town niggaz that'll murk you
[Chorus: Remedy]
That's what's happenin', you done had it
Everybody hood got people that ratted
That's what's happenin', ya'll done had it
Everybody hood got people that ratted
[Solomon Childs]
You cats is pink on the inside, like dispersement forms
We played the cell houses, ya'll played in dorms
Professional, international poster kid
Big crimes came wit' big biz
New York's wildest rookie, since Grandmaster Flash
Big boys here now
Slow down you might crash
We rule all cash, and I ain't listenin' to ya'll niggaz
Spit these lines for my niggaz
Stick up game ridiculous
I bust a vein in the microphone
Fell in love with the smell of the sweat on the poem
Blood on my blade, shit on my hands from my knife, humble
But cats don't listen, so why warn em?
Music will have you ?mourning extortem?
New York's divine leaders
I tell a story for em', perform bops
Bring forth wild brothers together in the forum
Spittin' with confidence
I thought I'd double up on em', I thought I'd double up on em'
[Chorus]
[Remedy]
There ain't many street kids left
I could say their names in about one breath
I could count your mans on about one hand
Take it from the words of a true man's man
The streets forever talkin', dead men walkin'
Window hawkin', yo the fiends come stalkin'
Ya'll cats had it
It was either him, her, or you
Or somebody you knew that done ratted
The Shaolin, everyone knows everything
It's scary, cut they tongue, shits hairy
The so called mans you got, wanna Lancelot you
And got you in a trance that locked you
Government informants, rat fuckin' bicthes
Tell'tale snitches, 6 foot ditches
Wanna talk about with who and where and what'cha do
And if they told on him, then they'll tell on you
