Yo yo brand new KRS y’all Maximum Strength
5 Boroughs of death we rep to death
Yo Kris set it for The Bronx..
[KRS One]
We hit em and get em we stick em and jig em
we pick em and kick em
Flippin them whip and I’m wing clippin them lip
cause I’m cold sick of them
Much quicker than them lyrically trickin and my Tribe
be on a Quest like Tip and them
On every avenue puttin the full clip in em
Splittin and strippin em down while spittin a round
into them soundclash see winnin them, just begginin them
Get rid of ev-ery bit of them with them negative idioms
I don’t even consider them
In the new millenium we killin them
Breeze Deep, Kenny and Will and them, KRS-One we thrillin em
Many battles we been in them now we rebuildin them
We blaze, fulfillin them, Keith ?, Jesse, Jamil and them
We originate styles, other be stealin them
[Vigilante]
You got a good rise in your rolodex, who flow is next?
Comin out to {fuck} with the best, put it in your chest
Inhale it and hold that, blow it out when I say let go; let’s see
if you can hold your breath, by the time I flip to the next flow
This sho’ is real, this is the deal, guns I’m runnin
Gotta make it out of town to flip my {shit} and keep it comin
Then bring it back, with another stack, of raps to blow your back out
How many of y’all wanna go for yours I keep my dogs in the crackhouse
[Buckshot]
Let’s take a walk through Crown Heights
Steppin through the city at night, with the ? and two mic
Form a little lynch mob, and stomp through the five boroughs
Head back to Brooklyn in the Expo
Back on the block, I see the cops everybody clockin
Buckshot, when you see the rocks, me I got you shocked
Why not? You see the recipe
Buckshot, I represent Brooklyn and my {nigga} Biggie
[Keith Murray]
I’m from C-I, L-I, F-L-Y
Where the {niggaz} and the {bitches} stay paid fly and high
Where a slut’ll get mad if you call her a {bitch}
And a rat’ll get mad if you call her a snitch
Where the rich emerge, with the {niggaz} from the ditch
And it’s a myth, they get {niggaz} from the suburbs, that’s herbs
Yo this is for my {niggaz} on the block all day
Who don’t give a {fuck} waitin for crime to pay
Put your money on it, yo we never fronted
Long Island got some of the best {niggaz} that ever done it
From Riverhead to C.I. to Brentwood to Wyndanch
{Niggaz} comin through will not stand a chance
From Roosevelt to Freeport to Hempstead to Uniondale
Comin deep from the depths of hell
I’m dead serious, even though you see me smilin
Rough enough to break New York from Long Island
[Cam’Ron]
We destroy {niggaz}, need advice, cause I heard em sayin Jesus Christ
You should see the sight, cookin ox-tail, peas and rice
Makin about a G a night, they can’t read or write
But I got every creed and type, you need a dyke, babygirl I see the light
But sometime y’all get crimey crimey, grimy grimy
But those with a tiny hiney they get whiny whiny
So guard your girl, Harlem World, cock the gun, pop it son
Fila fam, illa players, Killa Cam is still the man
[?]
Uptown massive, Uptown the borough
Uptown let the ? kali, no sorrow
Uptown trestle, Uptown of course
I grab you ? they got me turn up to North
And if dem turn up North ? hurt no tell de boss
And if dem tell me off dey are a bunch of ghosts
And if dem gal are up, well den dem know da gal are boss
De rap dancehall try on de Mossinos
And if dem tie me off, dem can call me Cedro
I put a rap to singalong in all de ? crew
And if da gal a bitch ? ? the rainbow
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
[Killah Priest]
Yo, hit you with the force of an iron horse
Tear your face off the planet, leavin one-third damaged
Witcha back cracked the earth canvas, leavin mountains
[Yeah hehehahaha, we goin platinum nigga! Plaahahatinum.]
Yeah, you got the Live Squad in this motherfucker
We got my nigga Treach from Naughty by Nature in this motherfucker
My nigga Apache up in this motherfucker
Verse One: Tupac
My Mossberg goes boom, gimme room, can I catch it
Talkin quick and then I vic just tryin to keep from gettin blasted
I had enough I put a hit upon them bastards
Boo-yaa! Turned a snitch into a casket
Now they after me, prowling for a niggaz bucks
Time to see, who’s the G, with the bigger nuts
Buck buck, big up and livin reckless
Niggaz with a death wish step in with a Tec and I’ll wet this
Yeah this shit is hyper
Two to one I’m writing representing and I’m striking like a viper
Huh, I got my mind made up, I got my nine
Ring the alarm, and strong arm must run
Some niggaz need to feel me with a passion
I’m old fashioned, run up on me nigga and get blasted
With five deadly venomz
(Yeah ‘Pac, fuck that, still hittin em up with
that old deadly shit. Aiyyo Treach where you at?
Step up and hit they ass up with the wickedness.)
Verse Two: Treach
We come to hit you with a sock full of Brooklyn
to the Onyx of your nose, punk is funky like skunk blunts
Stunk like funk cunt
I come to take you on a war rough and rugged route
And if another doubts I blow your fuckin mother out
And that’s the street scarred style
I shout I’m-de-MC-wit-de-nasty-mouf, and kick the bitch out
Sue me? I pay the lawyer for ya oh boy yeah
Plus my style’s ten to twenty fuckin pounds more
I take you quicker than a picture of a punk ya pickin shit
pickin pockets with a razor stoppin Russian rockets
Not shoplift, I’m liftin shop
Once you sound hot, cause if you ain’t a perfect ten
my sign is stop!
It’s twenty mother-crooked-fuckin styles in em
Like women I did em I’m in for deadly ready venom
Verse Three: Live Squad
Yeah, as I take a puff I get rough, Big Mad
To put it on, can’t none come tougher see
I’m down with the sound of the Squad hard, boom!
Breakin em down, I make em see their doom
Coming straight from the dome where I roam it’s a job to
rob and steal and runnin from the coppers
Who hold a, boulder, turn the gun controller
Started from a punk now to be a high roller
Youngest, reckless, crazy, disaster
Mac-11 blaster, and I run faster
Than a lot of cops I can’t be stopped till my head gets popped
A lot of fuckin bodies will drop
It’s a disaster, I’m coming for the blood splatter
I make you scatter, leavin trails of brains and bladders
Blowin em out the frame with no shame
Game tight, drop a body then get out of sight
Count my loot after I shoot, leave my kicks up and it’s
something I don’t wanna do, somethin that I never did
I try to get him, I think I hit em, I lit him
He’s out! A poison, a deadly venom
(Yeah Mad, fuck that! You know how we do.
KnowhatI’msayin? Squad in effect, YG’z in effect.
Now you know a nigga like me gotta represent)
Verse Four: Live Squad
Once again, back to rip shit, quick on the flip tip
The psycho, represent the real to take the mic flow
Deadly, rock a head G, check the melody
Niggaz can’t touch me when I wreckin G you better flee
Cause I’m gifted with a jab and a forty-four Mag
So nigga flip or take a trip in a body bag
Uhh, boom you slipped up, now you’re zipped up
Yeah one more statistic, fronted and got ripped up
No joke, you be yolk, no matter how it sound
We’re taking over eight niggaz back to the stomping grounds
Line em up single file, dome runnin in em
A nigga hit em with the venom, the fourth deadly venom
(Nigga, yaknowhatI’msayin? Fuck that!
I told you, we takin over, yo ‘Pac.)
Verse Five: 2Pac
Five deadly venomz verse five
A promise or a dare
I would jump if I knew you’d catch me
Staring over the edge
I can’t tell if you’ll be here for me
I close my eyes and make a wish
Turn out the lights and take a breath
Pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it’s all about love
Chorus:
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
You were never here
I remember you said
Love was more than your good intentions
Empty boxes on the floor
Things I never asked you for
I pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it’s all about love
[Chorus]
I can’t see the promise of
Excuses you fall upon
I pray to God not holding on
To things you’ve left undone
[Chorus x 2]
You were there when I
You were there when I
You were there when I needed you

I see you had your mind all made up you group of
Pitiful liars. Before I woke to face the day, your master
Plan transpired. -Something told me- this job had more to
Meet the eye. My song is not believed? My words some-
What deceiving? Now I’m unwhole.
You’ve waged a war of nerves
But you can’t crush the kingdom
Can’t be what your idols are. Can’t leave the scar.
You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give us…
5 minutes alone
I read your eyes, your mind was made up. You took me for
A fool. You used complexion of my skin for a counter
Rascist tool. -You can’t burn me- I’ve spilled my guts out
In the past. Taken advantage of because you know where
I’ve come [from]. My past.
You’ve waged a war of nerves
But you can’t crush the kingdom
Can’t be what your idols are. Can’t leave the scar.
You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give us…
5 minutes alone |
It’s five o’clock in the morning,
And I cannot sleep
I’m looking at you beside me, and I’m watching you breathe
Baby
I touch your face
Feel your warmth you’re now a part of me
I don’t know what I would do if you were ever to leave
I want you to be, practically given your heart away to me baby
I made a promise to you that I’ll be keeping it safe, I never give it away
No, no, no, no
Chorus
You should know, I never plan to let you go
You should care I made my promise to be here
Made for each other that’s what our friends all keep on saying
I got a feeling they’re right but I just don’t wanna say no I don’t wanna tempt fate
My friend my lover there’s nothing I can’t ask of you
You’re always there for me whenever I’m needy of you
You’re always true baby, baby
Chorus
My mind goes back to a time that wasn’t long ago
Your confirmation of love for me you captured my soul, would made me feel whole
What we got is good we gotta keep a hold on it
Our obligation to love is something we know exists, we’re two parts that fit
Chorus
I know I’m saying this when you already understand
Love’s never easy between a woman and a man
Some things in life will never come to you so easily
I want your kind of love and not from someone grieving me…no, no, no, no
Chorus

I don’t know how much longer
You’re going to be here
So I say my prayers
Every night
One 4 my mother
One 4 my father
And one 4 the love of my life
So if u decide to leave today
Then leave tomorrow at the door
And take only
Half of yesterday
Forget all hope for the present
Cause it just went away
We were 5 steps
>From eternity
4 steps
4 steps past love
And 3 wishes
From
Touching the heavens above
Another day is gone
Another night now dawn
Waiting patiently hoping you’ll return
But not before long
Why’d you say goodbye
I still feel your presence
In my bed at night
And what was reality once
A love True in form
Has now added pain
For a man scorn
Forced to wear the memories of pain
Around an empty heart
Now I sit in silence and begin to think
As laughter echoes through the air
I can’t get you off my mind
But a whole new love
I could never bare
So now I lay
Me down to sleep
And I pray my Lord my soul to keep
And if I die, before I wake
Then I promise I’ll be there for you always
We were 5 steps
From eternity
4 steps
4 steps past love
And 3 wishes
From
Touching the heavens above

It took 5 women 2 getcha off of my mind
It took 5 months, of plenty good wasted time
But it just took 5 minutes when I saw your face again
2 fall in love all over, I guess with U I’ll never win
March was a cold one in more ways than one
Went down 2 the nightclub lookin’ 4 the sun
Lookin’ 4 a light that could brighten up a day
That’s been darker than a hole since U went away
April usually brings showers
This time it was a hurting kind
This woman said she wanted my baby
I told her I’d have 2 be deaf, dumb, and blind
2 fall in love with someone that I barely knew
The baby would never really have a father
Cuz I still, cuz I still, cuz I still, still, still, huh
Be stuck on U
It took 5 women 2 getcha offa my mind
Get off my mind, baby
Falling in love all over…with U I’ll never win
May was her name, she was jumpin’
Jumpin’ from plane 2 plane
Actress or model or somethin’
I can’t even remember her first name
June brought an Easter bunny
Needless 2 say, hmph, that girl was late
Told a made-up story 2 a busy-body of our only date
What a skench!
July was a heartbreak, extraordinary
Said I met this woman whose kiss was somethin’ scary
It felt so much, so much like yours
But it only made me, (yes) made me want U more
She’s gone, she’s gone but U’re still here
I want U very…, huh, it’s U I fear
Said it took 5 women (yes it did) 2 get U off my mind
It took 5 months, 5 months of plenty good wasted time
But it just took 5 minutes when I saw your face again
I fell in love all over with U, I guess I’ll never win
(I never win)

(All systems operational)
(I’m so alive)
(Everything is 5 x 5)
Got me feeling like there’s no gravity
Trying to look at the space between you and me boy
Just trying to get into your world
I need your smile to bring me safely back to earth
Cause when you touch me boy
I’m in another universe
I just wanna stay here till the end of time
No matter where you are
Baby your love is a guiding star
Switch into overdrive cause everything is 5 x 5
Chorus
All systems operational just give the word
I’ll give you lovin’ unconditional
Don’t you know you’re my life support
I’m so alive, now everything is 5 x 5
Celebration when we’re standing face to face
A calculation as my heart beats into hyperspace
I wanna stay here till the end of time
No matter where we are
Baby you’ll shine like the brightest star
Switch into overdrive
Everything is 5 x 5
All systems operational just give the word
I’ll give you lovin’ unconditional
Don’t you know you’re my life support

All systems operational just give the word

Don’t you know you’re my life support
I’m so alive, now everything is 5 x 5
All systems operational just give the word
I’ll give you lovin’ unconditional
Don’t you know you’re my life support
I’m so alive, now everything is 5 x 5 |
Schoolyard freaks are freezing, down getting teased again
I’m looking back and down and watching it go by
Down at the stockyards cattle screaming
Tthe trains squeak by again
I can feel my breath and I’m so thankful
I’m not one of them
The sound of the ground freezing is pounding once again
It comes with the wind that once wiped off our smiles
Alarm clock bells are screaming out the same routine again
Scrape open your eyes, rise and fucking shine, 7 am
Sit down, dead weight, and wonder
Unsure, unslept, uncovered
The new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes,
Through 5-3 eyes
Schoolyard freaks are freezing, pushed to the ground again
I’m looking up and west for black to fill the sky
The sound of bottles breaking still breaking in my ears
They opened just in time to empty out
And gouge away the years
Sit down, dead weight, and wonder
Unsure, unslept, uncovered
The new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes,
Through 5-3 eyes
Schoolyard freaks are bleeding, down getting kicked again
I can taste the earth and feel it in my eyes
The sound of cattle screaming, still screaming in my ears
They came in metal coffins –
chained me up and hacked me off my years
Sit down, dead weight, and wonder
Unsure, unslept, uncovered
The new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes,
Through 5-3 eyes
