[Intro: G-Blass and Samples with Scratches by Sha-Self]

[G-Blass]

Yeah, one, two, one, two. Yeah, yeah, one, two, one, two. We bring to you the most powerful underground groups on Independents. Raidermen featuring G-Blass and Stex, Sean Prince. We got Natural E featuring Mr. Voo, L-Swift, A-Butta. We got Mike Zoot. Yo, we got Sha-Self on the beat. Lace Da Booms, we bring the doom, hitting the pressure points on your anatomy with strategy

[Samples with Scratches by Sha-Self]

“I’m into the real deal ‘cause we know what’s up”

“Shall we begin?”

[Verse 1: L-Swift]

Yo, yo, I run my strategy from the

Beginning to the end, I’m winning with a pen, been under-

-ground so long, feel like I’m sitting in the pen

Picture this again and catch me at a Natural E show, ask me

To flow, I get the cash and we go. Oh, you don’t know, so you

Go-go like D.C. cats when CDs stack. Northeast

Bronx where you see me at. Yeah, we relax and kick it

With you. If there’s an issue—even on a record

You feel it like I’m sitting with you. You got drama? My nigga

TIM get with you, show you what the drama’s about, run in

Your crib, search your safe, and tie your moms to the couch, run out

The crib with some liquor and some traum in the mouth. We focus

On it, we’re toting on it, Mr. Voodoo put magic

Potion on it, I’m floating on it automatically

Rapidly ‘cause Natural E and Raidermen got

Niggas wondering about our strategy (Word)

[Verse 2: G-Blass]

Magnetically, we connect the cerebellum to the neck

Erosion, explosion, the earth cracks the backs. When

Backs are taxed, get them guns off the racks. Vultures

Run into the shacks, hold your vest. It’s G-B-L-

-A-double-S, lady-thriller, drink-spiller, silent

Killer, got rhymes in the medulla, old-schooler

Hibernate when it’s cooler, on-point like a ruler

Enhancing expansion from the ghetto to a

Mansion

[Verse 3: Stex]

Keep blasting lyrics automatically

My strategy’s to never ever tell my strategy

Avoid tragedy, stacking loot, looking raggedy

They’re trying to bag me—that’s why I’m moving like a stealth

Undetected, invisibly connected is how we get it

[Hook: Stex, L-Swift, and Sample]

[Stex and (L-Swift)]

What’s your strategy? (I got mine, so don’t get mad at me)

Strategically arranged, G. (Don’t try to change me)

[Stex and L-Swift]

You’re crazy, this all pays in the end. If you ain’t

Hear the first time, then I’ma say it again

[Stex and (L-Swift)]

(Yo, what’s your strategy?) Yo, what’s your strategy?

(Yo, what’s your strategy?) Yo, Voo, what’s your strategy?

[Sample]

“It’s my turn”

[Verse 4: Mr. Voodoo]

The gat’s the key

Strategy to success. Tired of being buck-less

I’m trying to touch S-Cross for The Source, I’ll

Attend to yours. Win, lose, draws, I hold mags, intend

To cause menopause/men to pause like old hags. I just wanna hold bags

Rap at will, get to trap and chill, but if not

I’ll have to clap at will for capital, sit there

Smoking. I’m simply broke, ‘bout to get chicks to start

Robbing spots for me like family on Diff’rent Strokes, the force

Is hot. I’m trying to conquer the world like pure’ll take me

To trial. I get the name and address of all the jurors

[Verse 5: Sean Prince]

On a mission, strictly line-spitting, my time’s ticking

My strategy? Must I hold pistons? Position: one

Verbally supreme like Sun, call my son

Tell him I got weed to burn. Niggas wonder where the

Style’s from. Why run? That’s the wrong move. You need

Another arsenal. Taking me out’s impossible

My strategy illogical, I never front to

Follow through (Say what?). Yo, who the fuck is you? My strategy’s

Like the cops, leave crews black and blue. Sometimes

When I hold tools or maybe acting a fool

Lace Da Booms guider and approve, accept me

As the jewel-dropper, certified fake-emcee-stomper

Lyric cement—every day, I get harder

Going where no man has ever gone, I go farther

My teeth iced up, I think I’ve been nice enough

Hit you with the rough—nigga, duck. If I was Gretzky

My strategy would be to hit the puck. If I was

Jordan, strategy never runner-up. If I was

Green, I’d be bucks so leprechaun’ll have luck

Staying bent in a white truck—nigga, wise up. Every

Man on this record, they got guts, pure strategy—what?!?

[Interlude: Sample]

“I got something I want everybody to know”

[Verse 6: Lace Da Booms]

Ayyo

Hip hop patriarchs blazing shots, taking spots

Surprised on how we evade the cops, haters got to hate a lot

Play me not, you’re paraplegic, power moves strategic

Peep shit, catch wreck, connect like half of you to reach us

Peep this, believe this, spit verses, crowd disperses, snatch

Purses, virgins’ hope. Some see nurses, some see hearses

[Verse 7: Mike Zoot]

Player plot, strategize, bomb the first bar

Passed up to par, planting my feet in hot tar. Feed us

Love and unite, what’s never-ending. Fights not fruitful

It’s Mike Zoot. Pull cards, crowds now show approval

If you’re down-B group-able or attempt any fighting, I start

Writing truthful mouthfuls, making ‘em useful

Niggas start biting, bitches say, “Who’s you?”

Or something else they mumble, but, for now, I keep it humble as usual

Easy does it, buzzing on the easy. East Coast

Say, “No doubt,” West Coast say, “Fo’ sheezy.” Turn

Measly dollars into Wallabees and Phoebes. Smile

Cheese, get cherry. If I’m dreaming, I better be

Awoken soon by my rusty, broke spoon, a broken home

Empty soda, silver fork, anti-Ricky-Schroder

Open-mic-rock-holder, go-hard soldier that I had to be

With the speaker, blowing studio strategy

[Hook: Sean Prince and Lace Da Booms] (x2)

What’s your strategy? I got mine, so don’t get mad at me

Strategically arranged, G. Don’t try to change me

You’re crazy, it all pays in the end. If you ain’t

Hear the first time, I’ma say it again

[Bridge 1: Sean Prince and (Lace Da Booms)]

What’s your strategy? (We gon’ hurt ‘em again)

What’s your strategy? (We gon’ hurt ‘em again)

What’s your strategy? (We gon’ hurt ‘em again)

90s, what’s your strategy? (We gon’ hurt ‘em again)

[Bridge 2 (Overlapped with Outro): Mike Zoot and (Lace Da Booms)]

What’s your strategy? (We gon’ hurt ‘em again)

So what’s your strategy? (We gon’ hurt ‘em again)

What’s your strategy? (We gon’ hurt ‘em again)

[Outro (Overlapped with Bridge 2): Sean Prince]

What? ’97 shit. We gon’ hurt ‘em again. We gon’ hurt ‘em again, hurt ‘em again, hurt ‘em again
