Verse one: ruck



Heltah skeltah start stormin

Ya up for dreamin it's morninI'm warnin

People who jeal my name ring bells like a doorman

A warrantfor the arrest of a militant menace

Who serve heads like tennis with words that diminish

Bust the scrimmageI call the high post play

Dish off to the center fo' da quick lay

Slayanybody come in my lane

Gets blown out the frame by the flipster and lameslook

Who is this gettin swift with this pugilist

Equipped with the lyrical gift to flip scripts

People duck sick (what? ) don't wanna touch with that ruff [shit]

That ruck kickbreak boys bones like roy jones

Decoys roambut they can't mess with my people

Hey you stepped to the ruckus recognize that I be lethal

My gats spits at wack [niggaz] blacks gettactics

Make it hard for any infiltrator to attack this
