[Verse 1: Canibus]

I make your bitch crew shit stools!

I put a pistol in your mouth and pull, then I feed you to the pit bulls

Don't even talk about guns

The only 9 you got is a $5 bill and four one's

So I don't give a fuck what none of y'all niggas say

‘Cause anythin' that can't penetrate ricochets

Rhymin' with me on a record?

You might as well have died and went to Hell instead of Heaven

‘Cause my rhyme weapon is like a medieval torture method

Your four limbs tied to four horses all pullin' in different directions

In this profession, I get busy without a question

Seein' me is like seein' a vampire's reflection

Fast and slow flows connect like electrodes

I make cassette tape decks blow when I'm in wreck mode

Explode! Leavin' areas abandoned

With more radiation behind than spots UFO's landed in

[Break: Pras, Canibus & (Free)]

Is that all, soldier?

Yes, sir!

Is there anything you need?

No, sir!

Report back to me before the briefing, at ease!

Are you a Navy SEAL?

(Yes, sir!)

Then say it like you mean it!

Tell 'em who Free from the Navy Seal team is!


[Verse 2: Free]

Free be the one rockin' shit

Special operatives specializin' in weapons diagnostics

My survival tactics be drastic

Like Rambo, I'm stranglin' niggas with my bow and arrow elastic

Whoever said you couldn't be five-feet and thoroughbred

Never witnessed the cerebral cortex in my head

How many gigabytes does your hard-drive hold?

Or does your hard-drive fold once the signal hits the node?

Beyond mission control, the theory behind your thought

Marie Antoinette behead me, I still rock!

While you chokin', suffocatin' off your own testosterone

I'm known for breakin' levels down to the values unknown

A specimen with extraterrestrial estrogen

Kick your intestines in, sell your testicles to Mexicans

I bring the force like a nutcracker

Annihilate rhyme hackers, Navy Seal linebacker

The last Oedipus remains unclaimed, so if you buck against Free

You better tattoo your name on your teeth

I disintegrate those that oppose

Disintegrate hoes with they assholes in they nose

I suppose you wanna run your mouth like castanet

I put bitch niggas to rest in a bitch bassinet!

[Break: Canibus & Free]

Is that all, soldier?

Yes, sir!

Is there anything you need?

No, sir!

Report back to me before the briefing, at ease!

Are you a patriot?

Sir! Yes, sir!

Then say it like you mean it!

Tell 'em who Canibus from the Navy SEAL Team is!


[Verse 3: Canibus]

I'm the meanest motherfucker on this whole Navy Seal team

And I can kill anythin' if it bleeds or breathes

Yo! Callin' all bitch-ass niggas and bitch-ass bitches

I got a Howitzer bigger than any .45th is

Rappin' is a raw business

But as an individual, I'm as different as anybody's fingerprint is

If borin' is the norm, I'm the antonym

Put me in the same category you would put Marilyn Manson in

Buggin' like a satanic evangelist

Joggin' butt-naked down Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles

Every MC in your crew will get ruined and wounded

You talk the bullshit and be too scared to do shit

I'm the type of nigga that'll prove it, produce shit!

Spent so much time in the studio, I had to move in

A soldier who practices West Indian Obeah

I can drink the poison from a king cobra

‘Cause long after y'all are dead and gone

I'll survive the nuclear holocaust like a roach arthropod

[Outro: Pras & Canibus]

Is that all, soldier?

Sir! Yes, sir!

Is there anything you need?

Sir! No, sir!
