[Verse 1: Problemz and Black Attack]

Ayyo

Allow me to break it down and explain why they call me Problemz

My lyrical techniques is complex, no one can solve ‘em. Ayyo, they call me

The B-L-A-C-K A-T-double-A-C-K holding it down

And always representative around your way. It’s Problemz

And Black Attack—don’t get this shit misunderstood—coming

Through your hood. If you could, you would, but I think you should

Play the back—why?—‘cause my man Black Attack attack the track, cock ill

MACs back, shit I kick more addictive than crack

Puffing fat sacks of lethalness, son, I represent it

Open tracks up like coroners to leave you niggas deaded with sound that shook

Tect’s. As far as mic texts, I play competitors like

Dutchmasters, unravel your techniques, then blast you with the

Buck 50 banger right down the middle and pull your

Heart out, pull the lye out—let’s get lyed out

Our motherfucking minds, spark dimes on a regular basis, run through

Tracks like tiger Asics. I could take six

And kick it acapella and Roc-A-Fella like Shawn Carter

Probz and Black Attack coming, dudes’ll die harder. Ayyo, when it be time to rip

A track, I flip it back and forth acrobatically

Add up my lyrical styles, start to rhyme mathematically

Erratically wild like John Starks throwing up, but there’s

No way that you could ever touch my style, nigga. You could

Bring the drama. I’ll make your clique take a pause, spark

The scama, rewind it back, pause, add a comma

While niggas talk shit, I’ma sit back and spark this buddha

Somebody’s coming next to me unexpectedly—intruder!

Coming through the rear, but I got “No Fear” like O.G.C

Worldwide like BMG, putting it down for A and B

I’m strictly for the dough. Yo, Probz. Yo, Black. Yo, you got my back?

I got your back, nigga. No doubt. Like that, what?

[Hook: Al’ Tariq, Black Attack, and Sample] (x2)

Who got that most outstanding verbal attack? Problemz

And Black Attack like that! “Can you dig it?”

Problemz and Black Attack got that most outstanding

Verbal attack like that! “Can you dig it?”


[Verse 2: Black Attack]

Yo, pick

A target from anywhere, watch me lock on. Blunted

Forever, Problemz and Black Attack rock on. Niggas get

Illy whenever we under the influence of choke. Fake thugs

Quit the jokes or get cut up like coke. Six-foot

Beanie-headed, weighing in at two and change

Bigger nigga hide out, my brain’s hopping out the Range, all

Black, tints mad dark, so you can’t notice

These low eyes scheming and ready to get you, then reload this

Prepare for style, baby. Black Attack’ll leave ‘em leaking

Lyrical, sort of like missiles, they’re heat-seeking

900-Double-R like CBR, shifting it up

Bugging out like I was on Third Ave, lifting it up. Fuck

Cutting grams. I invest in stocks like Killa Cam

Chickenheads coming to see me from France on Pan Am. Run up

In your chest like Bam-Bam Morris before the lethals took control

Represent my peoples when it’s time to roll


[Verse 3: Problemz]

Ayyo, the Ghetto

Triology. Welcome to my world, Chapter 1, a day in the life

Filled with Problemz, the aim is not to solve ‘em

As odd as that might sound, this lesson is a blessing in disguise

The key is to understand, visualize, watch how

Time flies. Back to the topic and hand, son

Problemz. Stop trying to solve him, understand him

Pushing fat whips and stay dipped in Marc Buchanan

Pelle Pelle, roll up on niggas like Pirellis

Been in it to win it ever since I was a rugrat

When niggas be falling off like hubcaps, I be like, “Fuck that”

And stick to the rough raps, get ‘nough claps for my clever raps

Picture a nigga like Probz falling off? Never that, son

I got the remedy for this overcrowded industry

Do away with all these pussy niggas I hear pretending to be

Hardcore, faking all their jacks over wack tracks

With wack raps, fronting like they got gats in their knapsacks

Hold up. Just the other day, you wanna be abstract

But now you’re writing raps about smoking blunts and busting caps

I’m way past that, on some next shit, ready to wreck this

Going all-out like an emergency exit when I flex this

[Hook: Al’ Tariq, Black Attack, and Sample] (x2)
