Song by Eve<br /><br>

Eve of destruction rocks the nation<br>

Eve of destruction rocks the nation<br>

<br>

[scratches and beat comes in]<br>

<br>

You niggaz capitalize on lies, surprise open your eyes<br>

Baby girl from Illadel' hear to enhance your lives<br>

Doubted my skills, bet you mad now, shoulda snatched me up<br>

I'm in L.A. now with Dre now, ain't comin back cuz I'm stuck<br>

Had enough of all the bullshit of sellin me dreams<br>

Had enough of fake cats tryin to shine off these schemes<br>

But I'm laughin last, down to get this cash with the Aftermath<br>

You happy being local superstar showin ya ass<br>

You talk the most shit, how you politickin moves an'<br>

I crept to the top, shouldn't-a let me catch you snoozin<br>

Me and my management team, laughin' at you while we cruisin<br>

Cause we ain't got nuttin to do none of the choices you be choosin<br>

<br>

[CHORUS 2X]<br>

It's the eve of destruction, tracks I be fuckin<br>

Cats be fascinated by the styles I be bustin<br>

Got you niggaz open, got you niggaz lustin<br>

Knockin emcees on they backs causin lyrical concussions<br>

<br>

[reggae melody]<br>

I wonder who, which one a dem a carry news<br>

An' a gwan like set, they wan dis-dis ya crew <br>

But the lie, other emcees dem ready die<br>

When we grab the microphone and praise his like Selassie<br>

<br>

[Eve]<br>

Me say me walk like walk like a champion, talk like a champion<br>

Emcees try fi test but dem no ready fi di outcome<br>

Guard your windows, close your doors<br>

Fuck that, hide your pens and lock your jaws<br>

Dig that? My verbal skills should be against the laws<br>

You wit that? Now light a spliff for the hip-hop cause<br>

Lemme hit that, smell the fear, you made me attack<br>

You caused your own extermination not knowing how to act<br>

I thought I warned you not to make me mad you just wouldn't listen<br>

Now you hidin and duckin, prolongin your hip-hop lynchin<br>

Talkin shit got in too deep and huh...<br>

Caught you niggaz sleepin huh?<br>

Feelin real fucked up cuz you couldn't catch me creepin huh?<br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

<br>

[Eve]<br>

You little bustas make me sick wit the dumb shit<br>

Spreadin rumors like bitches<br>

Can't turn my back on none a ya'll, probably wind up in stitches<br>

Jealous itches y'all can't scratch, irritate your existence<br>

Tryin to cheat your way in this race, knowin you can't go the distance<br>

Runnin up against the thoroughbred outlastin you all<br>

No matter, how long you train gon' set your self up to fall<br>

Cause I got stamina, I go as long as you need<br>

Coulda seen a million bitches rhyme but you'll remember me<br>

I be the... new choice of the rap generation<br>

You know my name nigga, basically you my creation<br>

Not greater than the average man but I'm top choice<br>

Kill competition when they listen just by the sound of my voice<br>

<br>

[CHORUS to fade out]<br>

<br>
