Your rating:
Dcq: On urban terrain, i strive to maintain Stress and strain with a whole heap of pain Alot of fucking games that i can't seem to win I'm living in the land of sin I close my eyes and i count to ten thousand Shit is still fucked up down at public housing Turn in the tv just to see my man on the news No job but he had to pay a hundred dollar shoes So i get my head ready cuz i know where i'm at I got good sense and now i need thousand gats Cuz timess in america is all out of order U gotta pay just to get good drinking water They going bucknuts and i ain't trying to hear it The ??? is hear I stay cool in the babylon swelter Bout to build a house with a fucking bomb shelter Cuz it's a lot of smaller faces out here and i don't trust em Mutherfuckers make a wrong move and imma bust em I'm sleeping on the floor with my nines by the door War ain't fair it's war Frontline, mutherfucka Mos(talking): U can never underestimate your enemy. U gotta realize there's people who wake up 6 am in the morning to jog Running for they life cuz they don't underestimate your enemy. Ces: Shit in here's getting kinda warm Mutherfuckas' didn't know that i had this form I'm spitting buckshots and u could all get dropped Mutherfucka best i'm taking all head shot It's the great beat breaker brakalak jacker Dominant g, son, it gets no blacker U scared bitch asses with the style u lack I'm having reoccurring dreams of blowing out your back So take that and that and that and that I'm as hard as it gets u can't sit where i sat Role with an I'll crew pack a big ?? juel I ain't the bitch steady trying to get a new hair doo(ooooo) Look u ain't gotta like it cuz shit is real Imma say it feel the truth must be revealed Your eyes wide open and u still can't see Steady smoking blunts talking bout 'i'm free' Spend all your time sleeping with the enemy Doing dumb shit that u seen on the tv Can't get caught up in the hocus pocus Times is so hopeless i gotta keep focus And imma do whatever it takes Cuz shit ain't easy but that's the breaks Times is too wil' to smile I'm ready to get it on, son, you know my style Can't clam cuz i'm here for mine From now to 99, frontline motherfucka! Mos(talking): There's no room for fear. we're giving these heads the respect and credit that They don't deserve. You know what i'm saying? that's why they don't respect us. When we start to realize who we are, then we can clearly see who they are. Mos(rapping): Originallity is now a ??yummy sound bite?? Everything sound ??type of trife but don't sound right?? Treading over urban terrrain is a great source of pain But that's the path i chose so i can't complain If i get honory pardon me gems and jets I'm on a mission in a very fucking literal sense If heads don't understand there's no consequence Cuz now everyones worthy to hold my confidence In a world so ?? i stand frontline Could capture this motion and mad explosion The vision decension and mass attention Strifiling congestion and no progression I try to keep on looking at the prize But i'm stready wiping blood out my eyes Mr charlie could u ??pop some record mother?? And we fucking turn around and shoot each other Run for cover well that ain't a fucking option I'm coming thru head first i ain't stopping Suckas wont speak cuz i speak on these topics But don't sleep i'm keeping heat like the tropics A full clip and my hand on my dick I'm like a motherfucking elephent i don't forget shit From megaevers down to ?? Black bodies swinging from trees outlining american hills Talk all that racism shit if u want to But white man i don't trust u and i will bust you Even if u try to act trife It's the M O S all loked out for life A hundred years ago you brought the rah rah Now it's recycle and kumbaya And i ain't going out like a punk You say ?? you could call it what you want No sipping i gotta stay aware I'm too prepared to be stepping out scared Brothers eyes are watching can't go out like a sucka Mos def is sending another frontline, motherfuckas Mos(talking: Vctory is your only choice. there's no other alternative for victory. And the only way to vbe victorious is to understand your enemey. You gotta understand they're fighting to survive and we're fighting to live. They're fightng for something totally different and the differences are great. And we have to realize tat they're times is up. And if they're desperate then the desperate enemy should not be hard pressed Because has nothing to lose. He will take him to hell with him. So you either fight to win or fight to die. Fight to win or fight to die.
