Immortal Technique, Poison Pen<br>

Swave Sevah motherfucker (get 'em right now!)<br>

<br>

I leave government spies and murderers<br>

wrapped in plastic like Dominican furniture<br>

I put the iron in you, like the center of Earth's curvature<br>

And make your block turn into the, border of Serbia<br>

My flow's dirtier than juiced-up players in baseball<br>

And beat you in the head like a sock with an 8-ball<br>

You got Stockholm Syndrome, and that's why I hate y'all<br>

Cause you be biggin up the industry while they rape y'all<br>

<br>

<i>[Poison Pen]</i><br>

Yeah, I spaz out (spaz out) and beat the shit out niggaz<br>

You fag out (fag out) and beat the jizz out niggaz<br>

Gloves (check) ski mask (check) duct tape (check)<br>

Get a ducat and lost and recovered and break neck<br>

Bed-Stuy, BestBuy, clique and rush the {?}<br>

Rip up the pavement, throw the whole block on you<br>

Pop up, you gotta get it<br>

Like Ricky in "Boyz N the Hood," stoppin to scratch a lotto ticket<br>

<br>

<i>[Swave Sevah]</i><br>

Yo, I feel the sudden surge given me the urge to speak (yo what up?)<br>

Scream somethin that's absurd and disturb the peace (fuck y'all!)<br>

Quick to throw a hot verse to beats<br>

You see the music I'm a prisoner, hip-hop is my work release<br>

I'm not the same Swave you knew, I'm a whole new person<br>

More assertive and aggressive, my attitude worsened<br>

I raise hell on this earth<br>

Your rap is over, you Casanova's gon' end up like Gerald Levert, bitch!<br>

<br>

<i>[Chorus: Immortal Technique, Poison Pen, Swave Sevah]</i><br>

<i>[I.T.]</i> Stronghold tighten the grip, on the underground<br>

<i>[P.P.]</i> I fight back-to-back holdin my brothers down<br>

<i>[S.S.]</i> You done started, with the wrong motherfucker now<br>

<i>[I.T.]</i> Married to the cause and we loyal, we don't fuck around<br>

<i>[P.P.]</i> Stronghold overthrow the whole fuckin underground<br>

<i>[I.T.]</i> Secretly run, by commercial motherfuckers now<br>

<i>[S.S.]</i> So while you little step-and-fetch niggaz run around<br>

<i>[all]</i> Controlled demolition, we bringin the structure down!<br>

<br>

<i>[Immortal Technique]</i><br>

Immortal Technique nigga, I'm the type to flip<br>

Cause me and my dogs fight to the death like Michael Vick's<br>

And I don't hit women so I'm not gonna mangle your wiz<br>

A prostitute with an AIDS race'll handle the biz<br>

<br>

<i>[Poison Pen]</i><br>

Hit the block with a pen and glock, a ox and rocks, a devil spray<br>

If that's a K, play yo' punk-ass infected with leprosy<br>

Leave you half-murdered beyond, recognition beat and indecent<br>

Leave you with your plastic surgeon for a remix<br>

<br>

<i>[Swave Sevah]</i><br>

Yo, aiyyo I'm hard-bodied with it<br>

And these scars, contusions, concussions, fractures <br>

and pains you suffer from; I probably did it<br>

You ain't worth spit, I put a hit out on your mother<br>

Then fuck up you and your four brothers<br>

<br>

<i>[Immortal Technique]</i><br>

You play Scarface when a microphone's in the room<br>

But you more like Pacino in "Dog Day Afternoon"<br>

<br>

<i>[Poison Pen]</i><br>

ASCAP clappin 'em, all this rap traps<br>

Snatch that diamonds off your neck, worth 50 dead Africans<br>

<br>

<i>[Swave Sevah]</i><br>

Yo, this dude is truly a joke<br>

That stuff got you feelin tough, must be sniffin +Peruvian Coke+<br>

<br>

<i>[I.T.]</i> We spit Cold War syndrome, it shatters the bones<br>

<i>[P.P.]</i> Spray my dependance on your bitch face when it splatters you on<br>

<i>[S.S.]</i> Thrown in submission holds and choked 'til you tap out<br>

<i>[I.T.]</i> And shut down your party like Whitney Houston's crackhouse<br>

<i>[P.P.]</i> Stronghold, live and direct up in your set<br>

<i>[S.S.]</i> The habitual line steppers - Swave, Pen and Tech<br>

<br>

<i>[Chorus]</i><br>

<br>

<i>[ad libs to the end]</i><br>

<BR><BR>
