Natural Elements ‎(ft. Charlemagne, L-Swift, K.A., Mr. Voodoo, G-Blass, and Intimidator) - “Step to the Side”


[Emcee(s): Charlemagne, L-Swift, K.A., Mr. Voodoo, G-Blass, and Intimidator]


[Producer(s): Charlemagne]


[Intro: Sample]

“There was a time when you could handle one of us”

“But together, we’re invincible”


[Hook: All]

Step to the side when my crew comes through

Step to the side when my crew comes through

Step to the side when my crew comes through

(Charlemagne and L-Swift), hit ‘em all with something new


[Interlude: Charlemagne]

Check me out, y’all


[Verse 1: Charlemagne]

Well, I’m

The first up, the worst up. Revert to hurt stuff or get

Cursed up. Stepping to Char is your worst luck

I administer lyrical anesthesia

Foes who front are found frozen in the freezer

These are the days of Uzis and Glocks. The chalk is

For the way the carbon-cutter walk on the block. Stop

Sip a Heineken, and stay on point. No need to

Smoke one joint. Head for the ghost-hunt’s points


[Verse 2: L-Swift]

Ayyo, check me out

L-Swift be kicking the style that gets you open like

An aperture. I damage ya, handle ya, bandage ya

Because you’re still an amateur, you lack the skill

My gat can kill, I pack the steel, I’m facts for real

I stack and build, relax and chill with cats that peel

You slack and shield. I’m rapping ill. Lyrics be

Apprehendable, verbals be sensible, which makes my reign

Extendable, not to mention the fact that I’m invincible


[Hook: All]

Step to the side when my crew comes through

Step to the side when my crew comes through

Step to the side when my crew comes through

(K.A. and Mr. Voo), hit ‘em all with something new


[Verse 3: K.A.]

As I begin to rip his plasma, one verse out of the gate

He’s scared of his fate. Now he say he can’t rhyme, he got asthma

My raps is powerful like the staff of Moses

What no one know is: all those that opposed, I made ‘em posters

They’re missing in action, so add them up as I subtract ‘em, call

Your hole so you can rack ‘em as soon as you catch ‘em

Some kid was beefing, but when his man told him I was K.A

You know what he did? He just ran away


[Verse 4: Mr. Voodoo]

Yeah, yeah, they call me Voodoo ‘cause I kick the wicked slick shit

Wack rappers on the microphone, I got a bone to pick with. Read

My palm, you’ll find a crooked lifeline, niggas with thoughts like mine

That’s usually locked up, doing two lifetimes. I do

Seditious things to fictitious niggas who claim they’re vicious

And leave bitches strung from the hemlock on my tongue

Plus keep magic dust in my gold fronts, pack the extract

Type-O with more flow than a menstruating ho, so


[Hook: All]

Step to the side when my crew comes through

Step to the side when my crew comes through

Step to the side when my crew comes through

(G-Blass and Big Tim), hit ‘em all with something new


[Verse 5: G-Blass]

The maverick’s doing damage, the renegade is ripping, city

Slicker moving quicker, focus to get the picture

In fact, the flavor’s intact, so

Majestic. My shit is real—come and test it

Punks shiver from what I deliver. G-

-Blass, the law giver. I’m one of the

Chosen few that could put holes in a crew

What the fuck you gonna do when you see me coming at you?


[Verse 6: Intimidator]

Straight from the depths of Hell, the Intimidator

This nigga’s flavor burns like an incinerator

I’ll leave inscriptions on brains like Egyptians

You couldn’t get saved if you became a Christian

Stop me? I’m playing niggas out like Yahtzee

Grab and bust a shottie, catch a body like a Nazi. Fucking

Genius, my flows will grow like a fetus

My telekinesis could lift and move Jesus

I’m invincible
