[Intro: Sample Quotes from Major Joy in The Tuskegee Airmen (1995)] (x2)
Name an element
Water, air, earth, and fire
I direct your attention…
Water, water, air, earth, and fire
[Verse 1: Mr. Voodoo, A-Butta, and L-Swift]
[Mr. Voodoo]
It’s the return of the
.45 caliber killer—you know the steez
I’m like the jake, making rappers spread and freeze
Pozole on breaded cheese, take aim and blast everywhere
Between your head and knees. In cyphers, I dead emcees
[A-Butta]
I’m letting
These niggas know that we’re dope like Lebanese cocaine
Ready to roll with no shame, steady control, we hold pain
My flow aim and cock back at close range
[L-Swift]
I never
Sold ‘caine. Natural Elements the whole name. I throw flames
Control brains, I bust mines for your gold chain
Incredible shit making my competitors flip. Before
You bust yours, they got us on the federal list
[Mr. Voodoo]
Battling us is a terrible risk. The sage’s pen
Is like a sword that separate your skin, then I collect
The wages of sin ‘cause the hides of plagiarists is thin
My 12-gauge engages men ‘cause
[Hook: L-Swift, Mr. Voodoo, and A-Butta] (x2)
[L-Swift]
‘Cause
I’ma bust mine before you bust yours
[Mr. Voodoo]
I’d rather die for a cause than to die just because
[A-Butta]
Yo, my perception of this world is fucked up
[Mr. Voodoo]
Don’t ask me why
[L-Swift]
That’s why
Everybody up in this world be getting high
[Verse 2: L-Swift, A-Butta, and Mr. Voodoo]
[L-Swift]
I represents
My Elements like the periodic table. Fuck all your
Idiotic fables. NE, we got it stable
[A-Butta]
Like the hand that rocks the cradle. The Trifecta Theory’s
Applied to my cerebral, I’ll proceed to operate through
Them fake crews that scrutinize and stress us, but I don’t wet that
(Why?) My mind’s computerized like LexisNexis
I brutalize niggas that test us, and if they choose to
My nigga Voodoo’s ready to half you and hems through
[Mr. Voodoo]
We hem
Crews when we do the evil that men do while you’re
Like a virgin (Bitch-ass) ‘cause you ain’t got it in you
[L-Swift]
I rocks
At different venues, capitalize, take a poof
Blow the ash in your eyes. You’ll hear the warning shots blast in the sky
My shells passing you by. You’ll hear the pistol go
Ain’t nothing left but swollen hearts of crippled foes, so kick it, yo
[Mr. Voodoo]
No need—them other cliques’ll know the fundamentals
From the mental to the gum and dentals, I’m judgmental
I attack with a hunter’s mental, proceed with evil visors
Using verbal alchemy to snipe you off
The roof like Martin Luther King on the balcony
[Hook: L-Swift, Mr. Voodoo, and A-Butta] (x2)
[L-Swift]
‘Cause
I’ma bust mine before you bust yours
[Mr. Voodoo]
I’d rather die for a cause than to die just because
[A-Butta]
Yo, my perception of this world is fucked up
[Mr. Voodoo]
Don’t ask me why
[L-Swift]
That’s why
Everybody up in this world be getting high
[Verse 3: A-Butta, Mr. Voodoo, and L-Swift]
[A-Butta]
Voo and Swift, it’s coming together like holy matrimony
[Mr. Voodoo]
And slay crews who ain’t paid dues like alimony. Who that
Crew that hold a gat at phonies?
[L-Swift]
You know the name and whereabouts
Fuck what you hear about
[Mr. Voodoo]
I’m trying to blow before the year out
[L-Swift]
So what you think?
[Mr. Voodoo]
These rappers with the wack flows should clear out
[A-Butta]
Depart from the premises
[Mr. Voodoo]
Just to show my heart
Is into this (What?!?)
[L-Swift]
I kicks all of my shit with emphasis
You ending this?
[Mr. Voodoo]
Nah, I want to savor the moment
[All]
Our reflection is our greatest opponent
[A-Butta]
We terrorize the industry
Like the invasion of Romans
[Mr. Voodoo]
Roaming the street, holding
My ground like a patrolman
[A-Butta]
When?
[L-Swift]
You know when
[Mr. Voodoo]
The time and space, rhyme and place, crime and chase
Natural E be pointing the nines in your face
[Hook: L-Swift, Mr. Voodoo, and A-Butta] (x3)
[L-Swift]
‘Cause
I’ma bust mine before you bust yours
[Mr. Voodoo]
I’d rather die for a cause than to die just because
[A-Butta]
Yo, my perception of this world is fucked up
[Mr. Voodoo]
Don’t ask me why
[L-Swift]
That’s why
Everybody up in this world be getting high
