[Intro: Inspectah Deck]

It had to be this way (Had to be, for real)

Nobody said it would be easy

So let it be (Ooh), ayo


[Verse 1: Inspectah Deck]

S.I.N.Y., Killa Bee hive

East side, duckin' the five, roll with the live

Sweet Love scoop me in the bug eye, we 'bout to glide

Head fried, spittin' the scribe, move in disguise

Wan' test I? Access denied

I live and die by the motto "let none survive"

Livin' off my last cut, can't hold the sword up

You can have that for free before I take your best offer

Stalker, preparing for your sayonara

Torture, test my waters, I come like orca

Niggas need life supporters for bein' so weak

I speak as a veteran and lace the heads I've creased

And leave my footprints wherever I've blessed my presence

I.N.S. living legend 'til the essence

Given with no prescription, this is the medicine

Setting a new standard they fail measuring

Up to, they suck too, thorns in the hustle

Pawns in the struggle

Darts fly like C.I.s beyond the jungle

Trouble Man can't dance the Hollywood Shuffle

Knees buckle when the Killa Beez come through

All you heard was "one, two", then the gun blew

Question is, "From who?"

Numb you like a hundred CCs of morphine

Taken daily, keep out of reach of your offsprings


[Chorus: Shadii]

Too hot to handle (Yes, the streets is hot)

Too cold to hold (Oh, so cold)

Pumpin' that substance

That's uncontrolled (Uncontrolled, uncontrolled)

Too hot to handle (Yeah)

Too cold to hold (Too cold)

Pumpin' that substance

That's uncontrolled (Oh, so cold, oh, so cold)


[Verse 2: Inspectah Deck]

Too cold to hold, substance uncontrolled

Five-O said, "Tell it to the judge," I never told

Never fold, though some turn like fake gold

Young and old I lock down like parole holds

In the midst where the clips blow, I rip shows

Hit your zip code, my sick flow get dough

Soon to spread like Ebola, the autopsy showed the reports

Another John Doe overdoser

Overexposure, facin' the flame thrower

I hold ya hostage, code name's the Ayatollah

Mind controller, 2009 time quota

High roller, sting like a king cobra

Blow the whistle on kids who unofficial

Pistol pops, ceremony deep within the gristle

Nickel and dime, rhymes sign of the time, my lifeline

Bubble like a fine wine, dyin' for mines

The dope man deliver like the postman

Patrol man saw the hand-to-hand, did I run?

They know I got the teens strung, plus the fiends come

In abundance, lined up, spending hundreds

The substance provides continuous high

I'll give you one free for every five sides you buy

Getting high off my own supply, low in the ride

With the low eye, daybreak and making dough rise


[Chorus: Shadii]

Too hot to handle

Too cold to hold (Oh, so cold)

Pumpin' that substance

That's uncontrolled (Uncontrolled, uncontrolled)

Too hot to handle

Too cold to hold (Ooh, so cold)

Pumpin' that substance

That's uncontrolled


[Verse 3: Inspectah Deck]

My style's so underground, I write rhymes on fossils

Use as directed and wear protective goggles

Shaolin's the borough, rap Picasso

Blow like a hollow point, foes sure to follow

Pop a bottle, forever can't stop tomorrow

Chewing all food for thought, hard to swallow

Cold like Chicago winds, taps on my convo

El Diablo cross the Verrazano

P.L.O. Style, released while the beasts raid

And those who can't stand the heat, they seek shade

The rapture was told of how one man tackled the globe

It goes so deep it rattles your soul

I see many have come, but few are chose for the role

In this ritual, rhymes walking on hot coals

Quick to spot those who pose as friend and foes

Wind up violated like I was the P.O. 


[Pre-Chorus: Shadii]

Satisfaction or your money back

Guaranteed keep to make you come back

It's the best that you ever had

Got you fiending on the next bag


[Chorus: Shadii]

Too hot to handle (Much too hot)

Too cold to hold (Ooh, yeah)

You're pumpin' that substance

That's uncontrolled (Uncontrolled, uncontrolled)

Too hot to handle (Too hot)

Too cold to hold

You're pumpin' that substance

That's uncontrolled (Cold)
