Shadow Government - It's Specs lyrics
rate me[Intro: Bill the Butcher from 'Gangs of New York' sample (Specman)]You know how I stayed alive this long, all these years? Fear.The spectacle of fearsome acts. Someone steals from me, I cut off his hands.He offends me, I cut out his tongue.He rises against me, I cut off his head, and stick it on a pike.Raise it high up, so all on the streets can see.That's what preserves the order of things. Fear.(Yo Fantom, straight up and down, dogI'mma start smacking muthafuckas)[Specman]Pictures bloodplots, sex off, from a bloody blockThat we blessed techs on, from another blockHide in the mess hall, brained all fucked upDid a stretch ya'll, county bid, four months in, I can't rest ya'llWalk around, thinking you down, I don't respect ya'llSing Sing, step in the ring, I go to wreck ya'llFags who be washing my drawers, in a sec, ya'llFishskill North, ya'll ask about Specs, ya'llBrought the name back to the hood, so we can rep ya'llStronged out, more wild, we gon' bang to the death, ya'llYes son, I hear you talking but you ain't seen your breathNow you don't even got my box time in yet, ya'llI got seventeen stabbings out there, ya'llRep ya'll, serving up eighteen, whose next ya'll?D-Block, crimestock, have you even met, ya'll?[Choru: Specman]My crime, my pain, my woes, my reignMy brain is stained, my time is changedMy code and how I changed the gameIt made me who I am, my name is Specs[Specman]You don't like me? Fuck you!Buck me 'fore I buck youMy click come through, run throughBare knuckle boxer on pay per viewLot of MC's pop shit but what you gon' do?Populace, split ya shit like one-twoWho you gon' run to?

Where's the rap sheet to coincide?[Chorus][Specman]Most say, 'yo Specs you're gone'I disagree, I say they wrongMove like a king, they be moving like a pawnStarted with the Surrah and the Holy Qu'ranAdd on and on, and build back to bornBut the death came here, so I gotta move onAllah U Akbar, cuz I made it this longStand strong in the storm, I'm protectedPeople ask why, I shot Howard, if I meant itNo, I guess not, I meant to shoot the other guyBut he was in the wrong spot, life's like a card gameGotta work with what you got, I was working with not alotAnd made it pop, and now look who can't be stoppedShot up, Specman, on top
