Highway robbery

[GZA]

An MC stepped to me, lying about one

Kid that rolled with him who died in the outcome

Thinking he could get with me, gain victory

When the season's all on his beef was hickory

The situation at hand still remained critical

The check analytical, reaction was pitiful

He pushed his pawn up, yo that's a wrong move

A hog move, some rap cat on dog food

Microphone competition we devour

You pull plugs but take no source of power

Cause then in MCing, the contours of the land

Intricate architects that's linked to a plan

The W U hyphen T A N G

My rap flow automatic and never empty

Don't tempt me, quick to bust off another

Flee in that direction you could get it from my brother

At least then you know that you up against G-O-D

So when we throw those grenades you better be

Ready, not iced out and petty

Neckful couldn't match one oil drop from Getty

That's ran by the icon who just left Exxon

And spilled oil so he could cash checks on

The strength cause local niggas be hating

But the sound still travels from state to state and

No dress code, boot, hats and all metal

Strictly hip hop underground and all ghetto

So catch it, throw it on your plate and scratch it

Mix that [shit], y'all niggas can't do [shit]

[Chorus 2X: Governor Two's]

Stick it up like it's a highway robbery

True gangstas we run New York City

We come fi takeover the industry



Cause you know them have fi too 'fraid of we

[GZA]

How come so much rap [shit] sound so similar

Is it confusing for you to remember the

Originator, paint sprayer, crafts innovators

Quick close ups of the artform's life savors

From tapes to decks, beats with raps, streets with gats

Speaking of tracks, I've ran plenty laps

The crates were packed, Farms were Phat

Thieves would chat to stab my back, detect many traps

Hazardous enterprise, the youths energized

Not seeing the truth till it's in your eyes

Burning, you learning to power your rhyme

Exert maximum damage in minimum time

Road L's are lit, my spears start to hit

Strange translation of words of wit

Through the cable transmit' and once the shoe fit

Unlock the secret of prophecies and that's it

Stay submerged deep as we cruise the seas

Beneath the Surface just like Adidas and Lee's

Or a croke head that used to walked the length

From Brooklyn to get a beat on 43rd and 10th

And that's just a short trip to flip without a whip

Tried to shop this most extravagant gift

To a cat who wasn't hemped and never opened doors

Till he accidently seen it on the shelves of stores

That's more frightning than strikes of lightning

Tearing up the storm in your average college dorm

So think about it when you trying to flow

When you wanna step to us I think you should know

[Chorus 4X]
