[Verse 1]

Yo, the bare facts make 'em take Flight like Air Max

Hyperdermix raps, share it and you'll both have tracks

Dope man supply fire to wax, push your wigs back

Hit ya like a tall cat, make you relapse

Never before have you ever heard this level of raw

My metaphors touch down like the hammer of Thor

Knee deep into the war, sirens and gats roar

Livin' life, Raging Bull, life's the matador

I soar Above the Law, branded illegal

They still rush my door 'cause I'm power to the people

Sharp as a eagle's claw, certified lethal

Keanu Reaves can't match the Speed I exceed to

Crash the party, make 'em jump like Knievel

I take cash in advance and blast off on retrieval

[Chorus: Ghostface Killah sample]

"Check the bangin' sounds that I invent, marvelous...

Check—check, marvelous...

Check the bangin'—the bangin' sounds that I invent"

[Verse 2]

Yo, yo, I can't, won't, don't stop rockin' to the rhythm

Droppin' wisdom for my niggas locked in prison

For those on the streets, rock it in your system

One's restin' in piece, in my heart you're livin'

Representin' all those who ain't got a pot to piss in

Went from small timer to a top position

I'm not kiddin', so what? Radio's not mixin'

While shots lickin', niggas on my block listen

To the Uncontrolled, mentally hold you P.O.W

Comin' through, up to no good, ain't no love for you

Chameleons play the wrong side of the fence

Switchin' like Clark Kent when the drama commence

Ladies and gents, my poetry's beyond intense

Find me in the trench while you hold your spot on the bench

Best invest in me, favored heavenly

INS — address me as Your Excellency

Successfully defendin' my belt with first rounders

Where close friends get treated the same as outta-towners

[Chorus: Ghostface Killah sample]

"Check—check—check—check the bangin' sounds that I invent

Check—check—check—check—check—check

Check the bangin'—the bangin'—the bangin'

The bangin' sounds—sounds that I invent"

[Verse 3]

Yo, Jurassic insides, I rise above the norm

Urban icon, ridin' on the eye of the storm

Veteran form, spaz like memories of 'nam

Duckin' bombs on the rendezvous with Miss Saigon

Calm assassin, showin' my face so they can know

When on Beatstreet, I paint a picture like Raymo

On the lay-low, makin' dough, aimin' to blow

Got a way to go, so I'm just takin' it slow

From the Shao' borough, throwin' the thoroughbred flow

Echoin' from the ghetto, throughout the metro

'Bout to let it go, give me some room to elbow

Watch bitches stick to a nigga like VELCRO

Yo, the plan is to grab what I can within my reach

Expand like the crystal white sands that fill a beach

With my hand on the piece, one eye is on the Beast

Through the rhyme I teach history class and move the mass

[Chorus: Inspectah Deck]

I can't, won't, don't stop rockin' to the rhythm

Droppin' wisdom for my niggas locked in prison

For those on the streets, rock it in your system

Once restin' in piece, in my heart ya livin', livin'

I can't, won't, don't stop rockin' to the rhythm

Droppin' wisdom for my niggas locked in prison

For those on the streets, rock it in your system

Once restin' in piece, in my heart ya livin', livin'

[Outro]

"The names and the faces have changed, but the game is still the same

Understand it, brothers and sisters

We need a man to open our eyes

We need a man to make us hear again

We need a man to make us live again

And I'm telling you that black men is in America today

Look at us, dunn

We are made a victim of cruelty

And he is destroyed us!

So forgive us for our ignorance

Forgive us for our shortcomings

But reach your hand out to us as a brother

As we reach our hands up to you as a brother

And let's unite the black man"
