Rodan ft. Kong, Kamackeris, and Gigan - “Roll Call”


[Emcee(s): Rodan, Kong, Kamackeris, and Gigan]


[Producer(s): X-Ray Da Mindbenda]


[Intro (Overlapped with Hook): Kong]

Niggas done fucked up. Monsta Island has returned. Kongcrete, the most hated. Word is bond, smack the blood out of them, Rodan. Pterodactyl. Let ‘em know nigga, let ‘em know. What? Uh

[Hook (Overlapped with Intro): Samples] (x4)

“I bring confusion like roll call”

“To emcees so-called, hoes be like, ‘Yup, I told y’all’”


[Verse 1: Rodan]

Ayyo

Capital city nights, blood letters written in prison on a kite

Put that crab out of sight, blow that scallywag like his first name

Was Kid Dynamite. One day home, flirting with women that

Stare, macking off effeminate flare, short skirts, fly

Cinnamon hair. Grimy niggas got angst, rolling like

Tanks through Tiananmen Square, elevate through power of diamond

Industry virgins rub on your hymens. Faggot record label execs:

This ain’t 1955, and we ain’t no Frankie Lymons

Why do fools follow a lying critic? Bop your head

Respect the rhyming misfit, brilliant timing, resilient shining

Drop more jewels than the diamond district, designed and fitted

Jury acquitted. Verbally eclectic, nervously

Respected, purposely expected, anointed ever since

I was cervically ejected. A-Alike criminal mind stay

Surgically connected. Solo, one-man, going for self

Or ride thick, hundred-man-deep, gangland-style, and me and

A sidekick smack the C.O. at the off-duty party and

Slide quick—that’s a live clique—rocking heat under the seat

Glide slick, sitting on a wide brick—blow for blow

Celebrated tit-for-tatting, disguised gats wrapped in silk

And satin, and bounce to the rap diplomatting, upper-room

Chit-chatting over this and that and going platinum spitting Pig

Latin, written in Manhattan, landmarked as a true believer

Waiting just to send a thousand deaths to a deceiver

Rugged like sports apparel, you’re stuck in front of PlayStation with Pac-

-Man fever. Monsta global, plan may destroy man

Marching through the Terrordome like Babes in Toyland

Industry domination with the goal to blow up like white boy bands

On the battle site, seeking out the Sun like a satellite

Reception trouble-free, bubble-screen TV, kick more

Lyrics per verse than most niggas spit on a double CD


[Verse 2: Kong]

Hip hop be Kong. The Devil’s

Advocate assassin, assassin is K-Slash slashing

Fasten seatbelt, third gear passing harassment

Lyrical black bastard burn this plastic, dick

Stupid asses for access after blasting

Struck quickly, bust back. Cost your stupid ass

A Buck Fifty plus tax, screaming, “Fuck

That.” You’s a tough cat, non-sweet two-piece

Chin full of meat, Kongcrete. Fuck a fork

In a tussle, I’d rather go up in a duffle, have you

Slow up on your hustle, toe-up under the trestle, scuffle

Mouth muzzled, puzzled—should have spoke up. Woked up

Coked up, roped up under the sofa. Me?

A hoping ass, a broke ass. Instead of dope or smoking

Hash, drink rum out of a broken glass. Crooked

Tooth, knock-kneed, cop heat from swap meets, pop

Heat to calmly drop deep at top speed

Philosophic topics obnoxious and raucous

Like soup with chopsticks, y’all can’t eat, your profit

All from garbage, we profits off of logic

My name and style: Kongcrete, the most

Hated, underestimated, rated, never dated, just laid it

Decaffeinated, Cask decayed, they passed the weighted

My man blast and blaze him. “What happened?” “You ate him”

We laughed then played ‘em, master players at the Brook’ house

Of mass orators. Kongcrete


[Hook: Samples]

“Hoes be like, ‘Yup, I told y’all’”

“I told y’all”

“I told y’all”

“I told y’all”

“I told y’all”

“I told y’all”

“I told y’all”

“I told y’all”

“I bring confusion like roll call”

“To emcees so-called, hoes be like, ‘Yup, I told y’all’”

“I bring confusion like roll call”

“To emcees so-called, hoes be like, ‘Yup, I told y’all’”


[Verse 3: Kamackeris]

You get

Smashed, you bitch-ass, you ain’t gonna last

We represent those Decepticons, boom bash

Way back in the diggy. Now niggas getting jiggy

Fronting like they’re murdering, up in your crib, burglaring

When they ain’t moving nathing, talking nothing

Straight fronting, microphone-bluffing

And you ain’t wanna put me down, y’all

Niggas must have thought I was clown, but this

World go round, and Kwite Def going loud

Yo, I get up on my ass ‘cause my ass don’t slouch

Some of y’all be lazy, looking for

Handouts, talking that shit with the yuck mouth

Go ahead with it, get off my dick and for-

-feit it. You couldn’t do a step in my kicks, now you’s

A critic? That’s that bullshitted. Y’all fucking

Niggas be out boning broads who don’t give

A fuck—first night, they drop drawers, and you could care

Less about catching some HIV

What y’all niggas really need is some A-I-D

So I say, “La vie.” Y’all niggas probably

Think you gotta thug just to emcee, y’all be

Fantasy, Disney in 2G

Never kick mentally, blind spiritually


[Hook: Sample]

“To emcees so-called, hoes be like, ‘Yup, I told y’all’”


[Verse 4: Gigan]

Quickly

Falling in the gutter, departing on that other

Anyone come get it—shit, even Stalin or my brother

Palm gripping rubber, spit it all in your gutter

Slice through you blubber like a Gemstar through butter

Hustlers like me don’t see the name. Hand scale, the weight

In his face, yo, popping but, shit, still need a gram

O-Z’s, see your fam, not Greyhound but four

Fiends blessed, plus it moved beyond Peter Pan

See, the plan’s a bag of chicken shit. Since you’re from New York

Beyond, where they’re on the thick and shit, gas ‘em up so they

Flap lips and shit ‘bout where the green move fiends, and who

Stack chips and shit, raise clips at quivers, stripping

Shit, spread samples out, let ‘em know whose

Shit this is and that they should stick to this. It’s that

Raw shit, have you stutter-stepping and drooling. If brothers

Talk war, quickly cock weapons and school ‘em, tell ‘em:

My treaties ain’t equal—on some biz—and you’ll

Feel this Desert Eagle if you play Paul Revere, so don’t

Tell your people Brooklon is here. Turn, the waist

Stands out like Bugsy Siegel strapped in war gear. Don’t take

A hustler to know a hustler
