[Verse 1: Black Thought]

Yeah, we gettin' ready to break y'all, it's winner take all

The game is locked, we down to the eight ball

The time is now, it ain't nothin' to wait for

I'm a king by blood, a soldier by nature

I'm somethin' like a threat to y'all space cadets

'Cause you never met a brother nothin' like me yet

So push another slice into your toaster, tighten your vests

'Cause it's a warrior you seein' here tonight in the flesh

I give you somethin' high voltage, double the dosage

Runnin' with these vultures, givin' me ulcers

Which one of these hustlers bringin' the thunder?

'Riq Geez not another man takin' us under

Nigga please which Philly cat doin' his own thing

Might say Black, might give you a code name

Round my neck see the microphone hang

Have your lady lip-synchin' like on Soul Train

The niggas that's a problem's a minimal margin

The Colonel, Captain, Lieutenant, General, Sergeant

Black, one man army movin' in on your squadron

You sittin' still, you know you a target

You heard, you better duck down!

[Chorus: Dom]

See me comin', better tuck those chains

'Cause you don't wanna feel them thangs

If you want it, you can get it, baby

You know you need to get low

Duck down! (Duck down!)

See me comin', better tuck those chains

'Cause you don't wanna feel them thangs

If you want it, you can get it, baby

You know you need to get low

Duck down! (Duck down!)

[Verse 2: Black Thought]

Yeah, we gettin' set to get rid of y'all, that's what it's headin' for

The underdog knuckle and brawl with the bigger ball

I spit what your wig absorb, sicker than sycamore

I'm creatin' a circumstance that you a victim of

The rebel or the renegade out on the quest

The super black man runnin' wit' a S on his chest

That stand for the straight struggle to escape the stress

You think it's sweet tryna eat, you ain't taste this yet

So make y'all steps precautious into the darkness

Thoughts cold and heartless, makin' me nauseous

Gettin' more remorseless for what I done

If the lawyers and courts wonder what I run

Them civil liberties is free, but just for some

How you a gangster when you scared to bust your gun

For the call, trust your fam or trust nobody at all

See them brothers gettin' struck down

They better duck down

[Chorus: Dom]

See me comin', better tuck those chains

'Cause you don't wanna feel them thangs

If you want it, you can get it, baby

You know you need to get low

Duck down! (Duck down!)

[Verse 3: Black Thought]

Yeah, I can feel somethin' fa sho, I've been up in here before

The gladiator in a Colosseum ready for war

That old timer holdin' his revolver set to blow

Just like a gladiator at whoever stick his head in the door

And one who been through it all, anything go

Rather give it to you straight 'stead of speakin' in codes

'Cause man, that bullshit can get you riddled with holes

If you ain't insured then the hospitals is closed

You got to go uptown while ya leakin' on the ground

In cases like these, you need to duck down

You're five dollar toys, I'm a million dollar man

Esquire 'Riq Geez go according to plan

I'm thinkin' outside the box, off the blocks

An outside your concept of time, off the clocks for real

Well it's Black Thought your boss DJ

However, you brothers weigh that's what you gon' pay

[Chorus: Dom]

See me comin', better tuck those chains

'Cause you don't wanna feel them thangs

If you want it, you can get it, baby

You know you need to get low

Duck down! (Duck down!)

See me comin', better tuck those chains

'Cause you don't wanna feel them thangs

If you want it, you can get it, baby

You know you need to get low

Duck Down! (Duck down!)
