[nas escobar]

You ever dance with the devil under the pale moonlight? 

Desperadostravellin

What the fuck's up son? 

We could do this word upwe could do this



Chrous: the firm



Spend too many nights on the henny gettin right

Breakin big face benniesbettin against the friendly dice

I can't call itit's goin too good to spoil it

Tell it like it isthe raw shit never recorded

(repeat 2x)



[canibus]

At a thousand degree celsius I make mc's melt

Fuck my record label I appear courtesy of myself

Let me explain how I maintain thresholds to pain

I walk across the sun barefoot lookin for shade

I rearrange your rib cage like a twelve gauge at close range

And change the position of your brain

My hard raps penetrate through your hardhats and all that

Niggaget ya wig peeled back

I scalp you like the indians on horseback

Running bull will hit you harder than runningback

Stunning man with brave and cunning rap

Swiftly running laps around 48 tracks

Like uncut crack you fiends keep coming back

Heads is flippin like acrobats on gym mats

From wax to analog tapes to digital dat's

It's critical blackthat canibus is ill like that

In fact perhaps you should quit rapinstead of always

Tryin to diss backcause niggaz keep tellin you that your shit's wack

I rip rapshardcore raps rushin you to the floor mat

Put you in the figure fourbreak your thorax

Jump off the top turnbuckle and land on your back

Til I hear it snap or cracklethe ref says chill black

You get clapped bringin the wrong raps to combat

Like bringin a paint gun to a shoot out with real gats

Y'all niggaz is wackrappin over microphone feedback

My intelligence begins where yours peaks at

From fox boogie in the see-through brasierreto nasty nas here

My nigga nature'll explain it further if it's not clear



[nas and foxy brown]

Millionaire look at the sky make sure it's still there

Ice grill stares and my jewelry is in every year

Pierre cardan back in a dapper dan time

Now flexangle wrecksfoxy rock van klein



[nas escobar]

Initiated to the firm shitreal thugs learn quick

Sit back and feel the ultimate hit

Initiated to the firm shitreal thugs learn quick

Sit back and feel the ultimate hit



[az the visualiza]

Yo lock indo the knowledgefollow the doctrine

Betcha tiredbitch ass niggaz need to be caged up

So raise up fuck the playinI'm sick of layin

Snatched upin supreme courteyes half shut

Co-defendant caught a life sentenceseem him crack up

Nigga cool still bet I'll be home before the news will

Blast fuse and leave purple frank matthews

Perhaps you confuse the concept blackcash rules

Incog-gedanother had more deez involved

Known freeze condo seize seven keys dissolved

Daily routinespeakin up for niggaz who sling

Hand to hand on them street corners claimin you king

It's time to lock thisjoin with uslet your glock spit

Guzzle the toxiconly fake niggaz drop snitch

Get your guns outit don't take much for me to dumb out

Play one routelay ya shit down and run south

Deeper than the laws of physicsmalibu sandthe gorgeous bitches

A true desperadoone that never choose sides

And show sympathyjust qban entity

Stock exchangetop of the gamewatch you mention me

Image is nothin just obey your thirst

I blaze the purple hazesit in a dazethen display your birth

For those concerned or just eager to learn

I speak for the firmwas told to keep the cheeba to burn

Stashin my richespast traditionslike olympics

Pass the torch flip shit so y'all could picture my thoughtsI'm driftin

It's type ill wakin up lookin like filth

Twenty years younger same hunger same ice grill

Genetically form grade a pedigree

Born to carve rhymesa swift tongue helped to set it free

Theoretically peep how we bless thisyoung and restless

Guns and westinslearnin to connect through lessons

From cool feats to campsniggaz shoot back

It's a proven factnine-seven's miney'all niggaz move back
