| Homie you can call me hot furnace
|
| Ill Bill AKA Nocturnus
|
| Walk up to you at point blank range and pop burners
|
| Walk away like nothing happened
|
| Walking while I’m clapping, laughing while I’m talking
|
| Awesome with the Magnum, spasm with the four-fifth, caution with the asthma
|
| The OG kush we smoke will send your lungs into a spasm
|
| Live fast and we die young, a bunch of live guns
|
| Get your mind flung through space and time
|
| When we rhyme run for the hills Iron Maiden, die in pain
|
| Have your entire society rioting
|
| Flipping over cars violently then fiery
|
| The double gun salute, a hundred guns asking, «Who the fuck is you?»
|
| We the top tier, you could get your head popped here
|
| Stop there, we could earth you and nobody would care and that’s deeper than an
|
| unborn
|
| In the womb of a prawn at the bottom of the Indian Ocean in the calm
|
| What’s the worst thing you can imagine? |
| And they’ll tell me «a shotgun suicide.
|
| «I'll say, okay yeah shotgun suicide. |
| A person hadn’t been found for six weeks.
|
| They lived in filth, they were a junkie, they had an animal that was eating
|
| them for six weeks. |
| That animal died and then we get called
|
| I’ll go anywhere I want, I don’t have clearance
|
| Carnivore, don’t eat anything that don’t have parents
|
| I’m jihadist, I go to war with God-fearers
|
| Elohim, Rosicrucians, and cross-bearers
|
| I don’t sign up for war, it’s no enlistment papers
|
| My hands fast, they pyrotechnic initiators
|
| I don’t have any close friends, just distant neighbours
|
| Cause I don’t listen to Christians or crucifixion wavers
|
| I don’t listen to anyone that ain’t been to war
|
| I don’t listen to anyone if they ain’t been poor
|
| I ain’t ever going back to where I been before
|
| And I ain’t going fucking back to lose, win, or draw
|
| Tell your whole fucking fam Vinnie P a problem
|
| And my four-fifth sick, it got a sneezing problem
|
| It’s the Heavy Metal Kings, you know that we a problem
|
| And y’all ain’t saying shit, now y’all have a breathing problem, yeah
|
| Certainly no one wants to be overly-dramatic about it or glorify it,
|
| but to be a gang member is to be a soldier in a guerrilla war. |
| For those who
|
| fight it the war no less dangerous and bloody than World War 2 or Vietnam.
|
| There is no one enemy but several, and these enemies are not in some distant
|
| land or far-away stronghold. |
| They’re across the street, down the road,
|
| up the hill, around the corner, all around. |
| There are? |
| battles?
|
| combat with large forces darkened schoolyards, parks. |
| There’s night-time
|
| bushwhacking and ambushing. |
| The enemy streaking by in cars guns blazing or
|
| taking careful aim from some secure vantage point or leaping from hiding places
|
| with knives, boards, or shanks |
