[Verse 1: Mr. Voodoo]

I was

Standing on the corner, just-a wasting my time when

I realized I was the king of the rhyme. I got

On the microphone to let niggas see supremacy

Is my legacy, my weaponry’s besting niggas

In telepathy. I’m more untouchable than leprosy

Come off wretchedly with lyrics filled with lechery

So don’t step to me with treachery. Rapper after rapper

I consecutively blow out their trajectory

Perspectively, I’m nice, but I hate to brag, and if

Mics were a gun, then mine’s a .45 mag

Niggas that are snitches are really bitches in drag

Swig ‘til I swag, sizzle my brain, die and go

On to another plane. Out of nowhere I came

Pack flame with the Lee Harvey Oswald-type aim

My sounds be booming, flows are consuming like I’m not human

Not normal, not mortal, but cybernetic

Lyrics embedded, ready to set it, so whoever steps here

Is getting shredded from the right to the left ear

I’m so cool, I got formaldehyde in my vein

My flow is hemlock, leaving wack emcees slain


[Hook: L-Swift, K.A., Mr. Voodoo, and A-Butta]


[L-Swift and (K.A.)]

I got it

Hemmed up, kid. (I got it locked down). Yo, I got it

Hemmed up, kid. (I got it locked down). Check it, I got it

Hemmed up, kid. (I got it locked down). Word up, I got it

Hemmed up, kid. (I got it locked down)


[Mr. Voodoo and (A-Butta)]

So taste the hemlock, y’all. Taste the hemlock (Right, right)

A taste of hemlock, y’all. Taste the hemlock (Right, right)

A taste of hemlock, y’all. Taste the hemlock (Right, right)

A taste of hemlock, y’all. Taste the hemlock (Right, right)


[Verse 2: Mr. Voodoo]

I’m catching

FCC fines for foul thoughts on my mind

Dangerous like a ride on the G Line, relying on lines

That make niggas feline ‘cause their flows is type benign

Mr. Voodoo kicks behind simply with fly rhymes that I’m

Using, I be bruising, causing multiple contusions, live in

Constant confusion, street fights with bloody conclusions

Don’t sell niggas illusions. A nine’s my solution

Heads I truly fry, niggas I cootchify, bag their honeys

If they’re cutie-pies, leave it alone if the cooty fries

Criminal activity holds me in captivity

With smooth rap flow, I cap a capo, I control

A crowd like F.O.I. when I’m dropping meteors

And you won’t see me on TV in bikini drawers

Or hard-rock clothes, singing like a pussy-whipped hoe. As I grow

My genesis makes peace to friends and instant nemesis

My dome explodes emcees, feed on the flow like photosynthesis, son

You know the prophet who gets biz on any topic

Shoot rap, grab my profit. Fucking with me is toxic ‘cause


[Hook: L-Swift, K.A., Mr. Voodoo, and A-Butta]


[L-Swift and (K.A.)]

I got it

Hemmed up, kid. (I got it locked down). Check it, I got it

Hemmed up, kid. (I got it locked down). Word up, I got it

Hemmed up, kid. (I got it locked down). Peep it, I got it

Hemmed up, kid. (I got it locked down)


[Mr. Voodoo and (A-Butta)]

So taste the hemlock, y’all. Taste the hemlock (Right, right)

A taste of hemlock, y’all. Taste the hemlock (Right, right)

A taste of hemlock, y’all. Taste the hemlock (Right, right)

A taste of hemlock, y’all. Taste the hemlock (Right, right)


[Verse 3: Mr. Voodoo]

I’m di-

-ssecting the vital organs of once-dope

Emcees who have now gone-a foreign. They used to be hardcore

When the dough started pouring, they turned into

A bunch of suited-up penguins in glittering sequin

Rap’s last beacon, what I speak weakens knees of deacons, I make

Type-O flow to streets. Who flows to beats? The Mr

V-double-O-D-O-twice, repeats Macho like Hector

Drink devils’ nectar, then play D.L. like a defector

Mental receptors is setting off metal detectors

Snake’s bane in my vein makes me a nerve-wrecker, master

A racket like Boris Becker. Lethal lecture? I pack it

Then bust the fatness that’s most emphatic. Emcees with wackness

Is getting more shots in the back than a faggot

I steal and rob before I kneel and bob for mass appeal

Still got it locked like N.A. Rock hold down the block

So know your limit, find someone else’s flow to mimic, sing

A soldier’s hymn like Folgers, fill me up to the brim

Drop a gem rock and paralyze limbs with the hemlock


[Hook: L-Swift, K.A., Mr. Voodoo, and A-Butta]


[L-Swift and (K.A.)]

I got it

Hemmed up, kid. (I got it locked down). Word up, I got it

Hemmed up, kid. (I got it locked down). Peep it, I got it

Hemmed up, kid. (I got it locked down). Word up, I got it

Hemmed up, kid. (I got it locked down)


[Mr. Voodoo and (A-Butta)]

So taste the hemlock, y’all. Taste the hemlock (Right, right)

A taste of hemlock, y’all. Taste the hemlock (Right, right)

A taste of hemlock, y’all. Taste the hemlock (Right, right)

A taste of hemlock, y’all. Taste the hemlock (Right, right)
