[Verse 1]

Rap Mafia, I'm the godfather

Hell of a gigolo so go hide your daughter

King is a Henchman with the dopey program

Asiatic from Asia I'm educated in the motherland

Mic in my right hand, an educated Blackman

Spending many nights studying the Koran

Lord of the underground, head of the black market

Rolled up in the caddy and made ya daddy park it

The Rap Mafia


[Refrain]

Drop bombs when it's time to roll

It’s time it’s time

Drop bombs when it's time to roll


[Verse 2]

Smuggling information, [?] my congregation

And then you are faced the back to black invasion

Like the days of Marcus Garvey, King, and Malcolm X

Farrakhan and [?] and now Movement X

I’mma flex like a muscle, tricep to bicep

I kick science before brothers kick nonsense

Get a lot of flack for the way that I rap

I follow by car, what lies is a trap

A white jeep drove up and cut off my route

King said (let's do it) and pulled his pistol out

Be sure it was men he blast the window shield

My king was shootin', jump 'hind the steering wheel

Put it in reverse and we heard the cops

I stuck my head out the window and fired the last shot

Just a mere obstacle 'cause we're unstoppable

(Who do ya’ think did it?) The government’s responsible

Because ya rule is weak and I'm making it hard for ya

Consider Movement X the rap mafia


[Refrain]

Drop bombs when it's time to roll

Drop drop drop bombs bombs

And it’s time to roll


[Bridge]

DJ King: Yo god, we got that meeting coming up and the devils are closing in

Mustafa: Hmm, is everything approved?

DJ King: Indeed

Mustafa: Then continue as planned


[Verse 3]

Brothers coming for a secret meeting of the underground

A little hideaway that can't be found

You hear the knock on the door

The password is given

You are searched by the F.O.I, allowed to enter

And I reach the stage to the right is my queen

Plus I share the floor with the members of the now kings

Greeting me with peaces as I reach the palladium

As I see their faces unaware to what I’m sayin’ to em'

Exclude the dudes, the rappers that blow bubbles

Cause they take the [?] they cause real trouble

Not in a negative sense but our intent is to educate

To teach and elevate and bring full-blown understanding

In this day by any means necessary

We're the Rap Mafia


[Refrain]

Drop drop drop drop

Drop bombs when it's time to roll

Drop drop drop drop

Drop bombs when it's time to roll


[Verse 4]

As I continue my lecture and it’s coming to an ending

The meeting is disturbed by an attack on the building

Who could it be?

What could it be?

Who would even try?

The door is bombed over by the clan FBI

The rat-tat-tat of a weapon

People start steppin'

Kings start lettin' loose with a .38

Hmmmmmm

Or was it a .9

A red beam at the top headed straight for the mind

Justice rushed us, devil to the dirt

[?] ran up and did work

Watching Kareem double team with soldier

My King pulled the .45 out of his holster

The police came but not for protection

They was hurting my people

It was the devils they were helping

Managed to catch the members of my posse

Me, King Born justice and my king

Prisoners of the enemy charged with conspiracy

But I vow this is not the last time you'll ever hear of me


[Chorus]

The Rap Mafia

Drop bombs when it's time to roll


[Outro]

Drop bombs when it's time to roll

Drop bombs when it's time to roll

Drop drop drop drop

Drop bombs when it's time to roll

Drop bombs when it's time to roll

Drop drop drop drop drop

Drop bombs when it's time to roll

Drop bombs when it's time to roll
