[Intro: Subroc]

Peace! This is the one Subroc

Chillin' here, with my partners

And they're about to do "The Gas Face" rebuttal

Yeah, quite subtle

His name is Zev Love X (Yeah, yeah!)

He's gonna kick it next

(And I'ma kick it like this!) Uh-huh


[Verse 1: Zev Love X]

A Gas Face, can either be a smile or a smirk

When appears, a monkey wrench to quirk one's clockwork

A jerk threw a wrench, I thought it missed

Made me so pissed, I felt to ball up my fist

To try to place a blister on that certain mister

That's one more on my list of scrubs lined up to kiss

The very X on my Swatch watch, tickin'

Every second on the second, I kick a rhyme to wreck it

Every minute, cat's in the bag, I'm finna skin it

One of the more than one ways it pays to stay in it to win it

Mic is rented, think I'm gonna pay my bill still?

On your grill, you gets a Gasface Refill

Ill! I hit and bend, what's up to style

But on the other hand, I never ran a mile

In your shoes, singing blues with the so-called Jews

You claim no news if you choose to snooze

You're just another Gasface victim


[Break: Subroc]

Yeah, who's next? My man

Yo he's gonna kick it

His name is Onyx

(And I'ma bust it like this)


[Verse 2: Onyx the Birthstone Kid (Zev Love X)]

Well, if the face fits, take it, eventually you'll have to make it

'Cause some state their word is bond and then break it

See, my word is bond that I shall never dye my hair blonde

'Cause of my culture, am I fond

It's not the goal to give the Gas Face

The goal is to uplift the whole soul race

But if you step to this brother, thinkin' punk is to peace

It's a sad one (Uh-uhh, you catch a bad one!)

Check yourself, keep a Gas Mask handy (Uh!)

Then shall you dig, you'll find it dandy

So never leave home without it 'cause there's not a doubt about it

That you'll end up short in this sport, so resort

To a wise way of thinkin', never sleep, not even blinkin'

Never start sinkin' in the old man's quicksand

And if you fight, for other than the cause

Then the Gas Face is truly yours


[Interlude: Subroc, (Zev Love X)]

Yeah, signed and sealed! (Word, Birthstone Kid)

Yeah, I like that (One more time...)

(I'll tell you what, one more time...) Like this


[Verse 3: Zev Love X]

Set up correct with the effect

The second of two episodes, I recollect

'Twas not to dismiss a myth, with the stamp of approval

And the super common blue eyes respect, what the heck?

In the steps of the King Solomon who used the jinn

To clear his whole temple from within

Does make my head spin, when one dares to question

How one learns a lesson, you guess in terms of...


[Verse 4: Onyx the Birthstone Kid]

A smile to a frown, from a smirk to a chuckle

Knowledge of self's a Gas Mask with the verbal

Here I declare this land's a Gas Chamber

Here to threaten and bring sweat to the stranger

That old serpent had the gall

Saying that he knew how I felt, yet and still, he's living tall

Yeah, that's a laugh, but surely, we'll trick him

Flip the coin, make him a Gas Face victim!


[Outro: KMD]

Yeah, once again

That's how we kicks it, for 80-deca

Yeah, guess the B-Side wins it, y'knahmsayin?

Yeah, but who gets the Gas Face this time?

No Gas Face for SD-50

No Gas Face for Plugs Won, Two and Three

No Gas Face for Michael and Peter

No Gas Face for the Brand Nubians

Preacher Porkchop? {*"Another Gas Face victim"*}

For all the Uncle Toms? {*"Another Gas Face victim"*}

What about the New York cabbies? {*"Another Gas Face victim"*}

Yo, what about J Quest the weird boy? {*"Another Gas Face victim"*}

No Gas Face for the Ansars on the Ave

No Gas Face for Frukwan the God

Yeahhh no Gas Face for Sheck and the S.O.I

No Gas Face for my man D-Black

No Gas Face for the engineer Gams

No Gas Face for the Nubian Nation (Nation!)

Yeah, but uhh, what about that dude Keir Worthy? (Keir, you know?)

Ehh... {*"Another Gas Face victim"*}

{*Gas Face sounds*}
