Intro

This city is a war zone. These people… they’re just waiting for someone to step up and take control

Now listen up, none of you hoes don’t want it come I’m so sinister

The quickest one to finish ya. Send you to the minister

Where I’m from, we don’t show no mercy for a visitor

The Illest Lyricist, the biggest menace to the senator

Hot enough to set off the fire detectors and the smoke alarms

Ready to do some damage. Load up your weapons and do these hoes some harm

Anyone acting reckless, I’m leaving ya neckless like a broken charm

‘Cause Heaven is ready and willing to grant acceptance with some open arms

Rest In Peace Squad, keep them tools on the belt like Bruce Wayne

My hands ain’t got enough fingers to count these dudes I’ll melt with this blue flame

Haiku’s known to induce pain. Get your crew slain for loose change

And any survivors leaving with red all over their shirt like juice stains

These b****es be running their lips that’s why these guns catch bodies like Clark Kent

And their heart skips when I pull up ‘cause they can’t see the other side of these dark tents

I tuck blades and spark clips at weak mother f***ers that start s***

The Legion of Lyricists, you bet against this, your money ain’t smart spent

Chorus

You don’t wanna step in this ring with me. I love to play this blood sport

Giving it all you got, but I guarantee that you gon’ come short

Anyone standing in front of me knows I’m finna be sending them up north

Toe to toe, blow for blow. I’m killing my foes with blunt force

You don’t wanna step in this ring with me. I love to play this blood sport

Giving it all you got, but I guarantee that you gon’ come short

Anyone standing in front of me knows I’m finna be sending them up north

Toe to toe, blow for blow. I’m killing my foes with blunt force

They say words will never hurt you, only sticks and stones will batter and bruise

But battle Haiku, and you rappers will lose. The choice is yours, which path will you choose?

Scatter or snooze? It really don’t make any difference. All that matters is who’s

The last one that’s still standing. Sitting back laughing as soon as your man is removed

Talking out of line, now that’s the reason the squad is attacking your crews

You yap about flashing the jewels and clapping the tools. You’re nothing but chattering fools

I live by the code of the streets. You shattered the rules and tried to master my moves

Can’t even do nothing but laugh at them dudes. You actors ain’t filling up half of my shoes

It’s plain to see that none of y’all ain’t what you claim to be

Trying to live the same as me, but rappers ain’t ready to pay that fee

‘Cause this s*** gets thicker than lion manes. Step in my lyrical firing range

You’ll die in vain. I already told you, authority figures, I drive insane

Family crying in pain, so watch what you say when you’re spitting your verse

This kind of game’s a gift and a curse. Shine and fame or a life in a hearse

Keep letting your mouth write checks your ass can’t cash

And I’ll send you closer to the stars like a backstage pass. It’s R.I.P. Squad


[Repeat Chorus]
