S.O.S. - Intellectual

[Intro: Inspectah Deck]

Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight

Another mission, Street Life, gun talk, Sir I

[Verse 1: Inspectah Deck]

Yo, don't push me, because I'm close to the edge

Living on this thin line, I know-the-ledge

Allegience I pledge strictly to my comittee

Way above the law, we soar the inner city

My crime pays, deep in the metro, nines blaze

Shorties watching, plus adopting my ways

In the PJs, the heat blaze, then beats raid

Can't see the cage but can't leave the Streets of Rage

[Verse 2: Street Life]

It's a shoot-on-sight affair, warfare prepared

Arm yourself, beware, hardware tear

Through your flesh and bones bear, witness stand clear

Flash a Wu sign to see if my comrades is in here

P.L.O. began this, '99 bananas Wu-extravaganza

Cop scanners and guns, a S.O.S

Prepare for the slug fest

Unusual suspect, disconnect your outfit, it's a dead end street

I play for keeps, release shots through your fleece

Retreat, delete you from the crime spree

[Chorus]

Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight

When you got beef with one time, S.O.S.

When you standin' on the front line, S.O.S.

Niggas wanna steal your sunshine, S.O.S.

Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight

When it comes time to do or die, S.O.S.

For the five-oh that brutalize, S.O.S.

Before you try suicide, S.O.S.

Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight

[Verse 3: Street Life]

Street chronicle, wise words by the abominable

High honourable rap quotables phenomenal

Seniority kid, I speak for the minority

Ghetto poverty, fuck the housing authority!

Not to be idolized, I deal with grand larceny

Money laundering, auto theft and armed robbery

99 Regiment torment your resident

Street intelligence child, Killah Hill pedestrian

Sucker for love-ass, niggas catch a gay-bash

SlimFast from the gun blast, burn a eyelash

The S-T-R-double-E-T own a Desert E

Keep it closely, I feed off envy and foul energy

Your best friend's your worst enemy

Thug therapy until they bury me

It's do or die tonight, shoot out a street light, bleak life

Aim at your windpipe, squeeze tight

[Verse 4: Inspectah Deck]

In the parking lot, parked in a dark spot

The specialist with one shot, been had the drop

Your Highness, I.N.S. darts catch your body

Feds got me on watch, with nothing yet to charge me

I strike quick, moving on the night shift

Rolling with those who bear the same likeness

Where I come from the blast make your ears go numb

Trust no one, 'cause murderers range old to young

And death don't discriminate, so choose your fate

Shot with hypodermic sword with the trey-eight

Gotta hold your weight, there's no escape from the mayhem

I'm living for now, but tryna make it to the A.M.

Creeping in the hallways, we always on paro

Calico crept close to hold the cash flow

The neighborhood watch, the skunks in my sock got me rocked

But keep my eyes on the shot clock

[Chorus]

When you got beef with one-time, S.O.S.

When you standin' on the front line, S.O.S.

Niggas wanna steal your sunshine, S.O.S.

Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight

When it comes time to do or die, S.O.S.

For the five-oh that brutalize, S.O.S.

Before you try suicide, S.O.S.

Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight

Shot 'em on sight
