Lyrics:
[Verse]
I'm the one-man army, Ason
I never been tooken out, I keep MC's looking out
I drop science like Cosby dropping babies
Enough to make a nigga go crazy
In the G-Building, taking all types of medicines
Your ass thought you were better than
A-son, I keep planets in orbit
While I be coming with deeper and more shit
Enough to make you break and shake your ass
As I create rhymes good as a Tastykake makes
This style, I'm mastered in
Niggas catching headaches, what? What? You need Aspirin?
This type of pain, you couldn't even kill with Midol
Fuck around, get sprayed with Lysol
In your face like a can of mace, baby
Is it burning? Well, fuck it, now you're learning
How I don't even like your motherfucking profile
Give me my fucking shit: CH-CH-BLAOW!
Last seen and heard, no-one knows
You forget: niggas be quiet as kept
Now you know nothing
Before you knew a whole fucking lot
Your ass don't wanna get shot
A lot of MC's came to my showdown
And watched me put your fucking ass low down
As you can go, below zero
Without a doubt I never been tooken out
By a nigga, who couldn't figure
Yo by a nigga, who couldn't figure
Yo by a nigga, who couldn't figure (Brooklyn Zoo)
How to pull a fucking gun trigger
I said "Get the fuck outta here!"
Nigga wanna get too close, to the utmost
But I got stacks that'll attack any wack host
Introducing - yo fuck that nigga's name
My Hip Hop drops on your head like rain
And when it rains it pours, cause my rhymes hardcore
That's why I give you more of the raw
Talent that I got will r-iz-ock the spot
MCs I'll be burning, burning hot
Whoa-hoa-hoa! Let me like slow up with the flow
If I move too quick, oh, you just won't know
I'm homicidal when you enter the target
Nigga get up, act like a pig trying to hog shit
So I take yo ass out quick
The mics, I've had it my nigga, you can suck my dick
If you wanna step to my motherfucking rep
CH-CH-BLOAW! BLOAW! BLOAW! Blown to death
You got shot 'cause you knock knock knock
"Who's there?" Another motherfucking hardrock
Slacking on your macking 'cause raw's what you lack
You wanna react? Bring it on back
[Hook]

[@pre8209]

Joel Johnson Alright fair bro I see so many people complain when a white person says something which is barely racist and a joke and people take it so seriously so when I saw u say that it pissed me off because no one cares when it’s someone saying something about white people. I guess ur not one of those people though so my response is retarded.

[@pre8209]

Joel Johnson What u actually said doesn’t piss me off it’s not offensive in the slightest but it’s just how people react differently depending on who says it

[@pre8209]

Joel Johnson Yh I agree people are so sensitive now, I feel the n word shouldn’t be a big deal if it’s not used with intent to hurt someone. Like if someone accidentally slips up and says it, everyone goes crazy even though it isn’t harming anyone. It’s kind of pathetic and it just ruins a lot of fun having everyone being so sensitive.

[@pre8209]

Joel Johnson having all these different privileges on being able to say shit just because of our race actually separates us even more, we’re all humans and if race really doesn’t matter like it shouldn’t, then we should be able to say the same things as long as it’s nothing intentionally harmful.

[@eazy-cheez-e8033]

Because it’s a different environment, different mentality, social media didn’t exist, the generation were a lot more different attitude and more mature and ruthless then the Gen today, i mean back in them days, a lot more teens be smoking everywhere or drinking outside, more rebellious tough slacker attitude, loitering in the streets, graffiti everywhere, police didn’t give a shit about the bad neighbours, people didn’t record shit and they minded their business even if they saw petty crimes or shit going on. I mean these days you could see the biggest hardcore nigga but he get offended as soon as u say the wrong pronoun or these days everyone be recording everything to social media, nobody keeps it between themselves lol. Not to mention crime was high asf back then. Not saying it was great but the high crime and urban decay before gentrification and social media is what made rap so gritty and badass because rappers reflected on the environment, most rappers today rarely leave this lifestyle, I mean not even street gangs are that violent or powerful like they were doing the 70s although the mid 90s
