[Intro]

(The police set up barricades, there was a scuffle)

(This turned into a riot and it spread through Central Park)

(Negros threw bottles at the police)

(Orders to disperse were ignored

And huge crowds swarmed through the streets)

The Bomb!


[Verse 1]

It's like a holocaust to the boss when I toss

Too much knowledge kicked, then you're lost

In a shuffle of feet, Jinx the fiddler

And I control your mind like Hitler

You bow and vow to authority

See now, a sucker with a style just boring me

So I show K-N-O-W

L-E-D-G-E, it might trouble you

Then I transform like a Decepticon

With a mic as a bomb

In my right palm

But I don't stay calm

So panic

Others can't flow, so they go schizophrenic

You thought I dropped a dud in your face

Until you taste the blood of the bass

Then you faint, or better yet, pass out

When I'm on the mic, believe it's ass out

You think you're raw, so we draw

You lose, you're hung, you bite your tongue

The whole town saw in awe as you strangle

A noose on your neck, and you dangle

From side to side in the blazing heat

You're beat, you're dead, the boots fell off your feet

You're turning red, it's said

That your head burst

And this is only the first verse

Of "The Bomb"


[Break]


[Verse 2]

Don't break up the fight, let them rumble

Over the years, I've watched some go super-bad quick

Now the smell of the pen has got them sick to the stomach

Now ask yourself, who's stupid?

I take funky, funky beats and I loop it

And pimp slap you in the face with the bass

And the boom from the bomb that I drop

Stop

You have a flat-top as a fashion

I love Black women with a passion

But when they gotta go and show their ass in

I gotta clown the hoes, yeah

You gotta watch the ones with the big derrieres

They'll steer you wrong

Ice Cube's got it going on, hit me

For the gangster boogie, two times for the gangster rhymes

And since i ain't wholesome

They want to put a young brother in Folsom

They'd rather see me on lockdown

But I come up foul, then they get knocked out, word

To the brother that rolls the herb

Everybody else getting knocked to the curb, like that

Jinx got the gat, and it's a fact

He'll kick a funky beat to peel your cap

Now who's the mack?

Who's the ho?

Who's the trick?

I got many, many styles, won't you take a pick?

But don't be alarmed

When I trip and stumble and fumble

And drop the (rewind)

Drop the bomb


[Break]


[Verse 3]

I'm solo, you ask how I'm living

Still dropping more shit than a pigeon

With the L, the E, the N, the C, the H

The M, the O, the B, the great

Lyrics that make the beat swing and I gotcha

It's the hip-hopper that don't like coppers

And if you try to upset the pot, son

You get kicked in the chest like a shotgun

I make the beats, I make the breaks

I make the rhymes that make you shake

Make you find; Ice Cube never caught in the middle

I make stuff to kick you in the ass a little

And still never hesitate to stutter step

Or bust a repitition on the mic

Still dissing all the hype

From left to right

How many left to fight?

So what that Lench Mob like?
