[Intro: Havoc]

No doubt


[Verse 1: Havoc]

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Stainless steel gats, that never rust, fin' to bust

You get touched, blessed with the real side of life

Just enough, you couldn't fight it with your strongest mic

Laid down, nigga eyes visualize bad reception

Major interference to your upper-body section

I travel like a two-two bullet

Throughout your body, repped to the fullest

Queensbridge representin'

Presentin' the hollow tip crew

Loose lips sink ships, you talk shit — I follow through

Once the kite is sent, I might get bent, but still plan it

No second thoughts, 'cause my conscience is demandin'

From all the bloodshed (Bloodshed), I leave that mug red (Mug red)

I'm like cancer, can't catch me 'cause I done spread (Done spread)

Doorknob dead, enough said, from the scene I fled

With the paranoid thoughts runnin' 'round my head

It's like that! War — project niggas strike back

It's on! What the fuck you said? I'll be right back!

With the gat, and terror, end your motherfuckin' era

Your shorty set you up, you better dead her

Hunger for the cheddar, big Benz or better

Amaretto sours, alcohol consumption

While you runnin', we thumpin'

Due to the fact The Infamous is bumpin'

Ice grill, son, you frontin'!


[Chorus: Havoc]

It's like that! War — project niggas strike back

It's on! What the fuck you say? I'll be right back

It's like that! War — project niggas strike back

It's on! What the fuck you say? I'll be right back

It's like that! War — project niggas strike back

It's on! What the fuck you say? I'll be right back

It's like that! War — project niggas strike back

It's on! What the fuck you say? I'll be right back


[Verse 2: Prodigy]

Welcome to the fact that.. here, take that

Right back at you, I'm goin at Duke, I already ran through

Wasn't hard to capture, what is it that you goin' after?

(What is it? What is it?) My forty-fifth'll make your clothes damper

Put in the hamper, the fabulous Infamous movin' stainless

Crimes heinous, to all my niggas — hold your bangers

Live in action, if you were dapped then relax then

The fuck you say? I'll be right back with MAC's then

Blastin', tearin' up your FILA fashion

Give him what he askin', fill you in on what happened

Back at the cabin, be at the round table plannin'

To spread team across planet, expand shit

Slap a nigga open handedly style, somethin' foul

For tryin' to slow down, my cash pile a hundred miles (So what?)

I can recall the days, juvenile, crime pay

Fourteen years old, shorty from 'round way

Brick-ass cold, still pump from night to day

But why did my life have to be this way?

I rock Velour suits, flavors like mixed fruits, my loot get recouped

Razors in my shoe 'case they try to troop me to the Island

I'm known for start wildin'

Back in New York, my soldiers got the cash piled and

Peep this, throwin' blows on some nose-and-teeth shit

So much drama, who the fuck knows we got beef with?

Lift you up off your feet like ski lift

Pull back the big fifth for niggas who riff, them niggas you with

Then I'm on the next flight, gettin' bent in the clouds

On my way down South for international crowds


[Interlude: Prodigy]

Word up, word up, son

We gotta get this motherfuckin' money, kid

Knahmsayin'? What up, kid? Fuck that, son


[Chorus: Havoc]

A-yo, it's like that! War — project niggas strike back

It's on! What the fuck you say? I'll be right back!

It's like that! War — project niggas strike back

(Fuck that, yo! Word to mother, yo)

It's on! What the fuck you say? I'll be right back!

It's like that! War — project niggas strike back (Infamous, nigga)

It's on! What the fuck you say? I'll be right back! (Infamous)


[Outro: Prodigy]

Black Mac, word up, word up

Yo, the mad action, gun relaxin', pump, yo!

Check it out, son, word up!

Project niggas strike back, it's like that!
