[Intro:]
[Scratching] Been fighting devils
[Chorus: x2]
For my people in ghettos
The dust don't settle
For my peeps in the streets, the beef don't cease
For my friends in the pen, your life don't end
'Cause the beast inside ain't ready to die
[Verse 1: Knowledge]
Doing dirt in the grinds now
I'm working for mine
Certain to shine, the streets had a perfect desire
And I, yeah believe it's what it made me to be
Revolutionary slave to my hated beliefs
I was raised in the street, got hate for police
Born in the ghetto, crack stay peddled on concrete
Where the bullshit's abbreviated, move and you lose
And your crew gets eliminated, it's complicated
To the death it facetious
Keep my eyes open for the devils and demons
Pure fire when I speak, bringing Heaven through your speakers
Travel through your tweeters to the ghetto I might teach you, yeah
Credible believer until it's settled I might see you
Better make 'em flee ah, better make em bleed what
Begging for a piece of, pie in the grind
I keep the factor in line
This is for my, people living in hard times
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 2: Qualm]
Street dreams, in the slum where the beast feeds
Where the struggle resides, where hustlers and fiends meet
Just trying to get by, burning on green leaves (Come on!)
I gotta get mine, no one else gonna feed me (Nah!)
Survival etched in the genes of my species (Yeah!)
Stand on my own two, no one said it'd be easy
Just keep it moving, feet where the streets be
Better be easy, put your teeth to the streets, B
Cannibal tooth, die for the loot
Wild animal escaped from the zoo
They call me elephant boots out on the loose
No surrender or truce
Torture, what the New World Order lies in the news
Propaganda, catching minds in a snooze
Take a walk in my shoes, it's all the dudes
Too many sips of the brew, sick spit off the booze (Muthafucka)
So hold up man, watch how you move
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3: Lord Lhus]
I done seen it all, a legend in my own right
You fight for the right of respect when you step in my light
Always stay ducking the devils to the death from the birth
We destined to burst from underground soul in the dirt
Straight to the top we headed leaving devils beheaded
On the world that's filled with controversy, thoughts are embedded
Of violent acts and racism, you see it on the news
And listen brainwashing the masses through subliminal television
It's sick, that's why I say the government can eat a dick
They don't help me the slightest bit when I need it
So fuck 'em, I live my own life, I blaze my own trail
Do a little dirt, get locked up, I pay my own bail
Circle of trust, knowledge born crime and lust
Survivals of the struggle, march through Hell puffin' blunts
Dodging pitchforks, at war on the darkest levels
Cause me and my family here, we've been fighting devils come on
