[Intro: Emergency Broadcast System operator]
"This station serves the five boroughs of New York City
This concludes this test of the Emergency Broadcast System."
[Verse 1: Prodigy]
Yeah... attack of the thugs
My thuns come through with bundles of drugs
The Hip-Hop cops, just let us do us
If we beat a nigga ass, they would just watch
Just as long as we not firing gunshots
Guilty thugs rush your door, get everybody in
Because they stuntin' with the passes and I can't control it
We smoke the whole club out (Who?)
Me and the Dumouts
Mazaradi Fox and my niggas from OV
That's Queensbridge, Jamaica, and Far Rock
That's power in the streets you can't stop
With jail bars and thick cement walls
Like you can murder people – what, you gonna do it all?
The rest of the 143 thousand, 9 hundred 99 niggas wildin'
I had a dream, when I was 9, about martial law
I saw global police – am I crazy, God?
[Hook: Prodigy, & samples of Havoc and (Prodigy)]
"Sometimes I wonder..." "sometimes I wonder..."
Am I crazy, ya'll?
("Crazy..." "crazy...")
God, please show me a sign, if I'm not crazy
[Verse 2: Prodigy]
Attack of the benevolent, machine guns and tanks
To come inside your party with a fucking AK
And we just chilling, we just want a few drinks
And get a few bunnies to hop back to the place
It's not a problem if that's what it is
But if it is a problem, then it is what it is
And we'd handle that accordingly, see you ignoring me
I'm gonna laugh at you when you can't stop your arteries
From bleeding – that's what you get
So what if that nigga die? He wasn't innocent
And if he was – he was wrong place, wrong time
That's on me, I'll pay for it in my next lifetime
For right now, this is how it's going down
You fuck around you lay around, moving your bowels
This nigga mistook me for some type of coward, a fraud
Now look at him, crazy soft – am I crazy, ya'll?
[Hook: Prodigy, & samples of Havoc and Prodigy]
"Sometimes I wonder..." "Sometimes I wonder..."
Am I crazy, ya'll?
("Crazy..." "crazy...")
God please show me the sign, if I'm not crazy
("P, you crazy..." "P, you crazy...")
Really... am I crazy, ya'll?
"Sometimes I wonder..."
God, please show me a sign, if I'm not crazy
[Verse 3: Prodigy]
And then it happened, at 3:33
A big green fire in the sky in Queens
I almost crashed my car, on the L.I.E. –
Godfather and Ty Maxx was both 'sleep
Psh... it wasn't meant for them to see
Nah, the sign was for me
To let me know I'm not bugging
This shit real, if you do the research, you wouldsee that it's real
My nigga E Money Bags, R.I.P. –
He told me back in '99, this was gon' be
We both tried to tell Nas, but Nas was doing him
His little brother Jungle was the only one that listened (Yup)
Jay-Z and Jaz-O know
Jay-Z chose to ride with the other side though
The math all add up, you could check it out
Told you, me and Pac would've worked it all out
Because Majesty and Stretch would've dead' that now
And we would've all been brainstorming – wow
Imagine life with an army like that right now
That's what I'm talking about – that's real power
50 Cent, my nigga, because he know what's up
Illa, you my nigga – tell me... I'm crazy, huh?

("Crazy..." "crazy...")
Am I crazy, God?
"Sometimes I wonder..." "sometimes I wonder..."
Am I crazy, ya'll?
("P, you crazy...")
["Some say it's evidence..."]
Am I crazy, God?
"Sometimes I wonder..." "sometimes I wonder..."
Really... am I crazy, ya'll?
God, please show me a sign, if I'm not crazy ("Crazy..." "crazy...")
