80 Bars, 80 Scars Yo, engineer, turn me up, yo I started off in the underground From mono to stereo now I´m surround sound Blowin´ through your tubes leavin´ holes through your speakers
Crackin´ through your tweeters my frequency´s off the meters Jam pack arenas from here to Bangkok I´m ahead of my time like Jimmy Hendrix played Woodstock Me, I´m playin´ Hoodstock before I had the dreadlocks I used to reminisce should I do music or sell rocks Grow my own crops livin´ in the PJs That´s when an Angel Gabriel, said "It´s all a masquerade eyes wit no face, sneakers wit no lace I feel the earth spinnin´ but I´m standin´ in the same space" Wit no trace of what happened last night I seen two fiends fightin´ over a crack pipe Now I´m watchin´ TV, my antenna was a clothes hanger
Blurry vision Mista Mondehan David Banner Flip the data the kids are wearin´ bandannas Totin´ hammers aimin´ at your medulla oblongata Blow, blow a young thug wit a slim figure Romantic type like the movie Casablanca Herb seller once got busted by a undercover buyer My supplier was a Gypsie cab driver That´s when I realized I need to find a new hustle Livin´ in the jungle the guitar became my muscle I scribe through snake eyes that wanted my crucified Y´all thought that I was drownin´ but I was getting baptized Now behold I heard you sold twenty mill But wit no street credibility you overkill Y´all ain´t real talkin´ ´bout keep it gangsta Only if you knew the gangsta sent me to shank you Gank you, gank you, tie up your ankles
And if that ain´t enough I call hinchmens to lynch you Now at the funeral I could see the priest bless you But in the after life I´ma still touch you Knockin´ on Heaven´s door you beggin´ to get in That´s when the Son of Man greets you wit the face of Satan Now you look frightened in the belly of the whale That´s when the warden say I wanna welcome you to hell Bones is five bucks get off the phone, time´s up I seen him cut from his head to his you wish you would wish you could Wishin´ got you here you screamin´ so loud that a deaf man could hear Back to the silence, no more droppin´ science Everybody rappin´ ´bout diamonds and violence
And A&R´s all they do is charge credit cards And when the bill comes They blame it on the rap stars Now how you figure I ain´t rent a car I wasn´t at the spa I ain´t buy the bar Now here´s a Jew when you get your first record deal Don´t subject yourself to the mass appeal First class, caviar in the Anneville In the new S class wit the Jordan wheels Remember the music in the streets like the streets You know the code of the streets Everybody tryin´ to eat yhe evidence is concrete I´m tired of the same song you take me out You must be high off of heroine Sharper than I ever been this one gon´ get a ten Rappers, I´ma murder y´all wit your own medicine I move with faith, I never have doubt
I´m so hungry you would think I´m just comin´ out But I been here before from Blunted to The Score To the Carnival, Ecleftic, World Tour I´m poison whores waitin´ in the back door They want me to rock they boat and shift them on shore That´s when the Father said, "Take heed to this lesson They wanna cut your hair like Delilah did Samson" I felt that so I went back to my format Raps in backpack gats for car jacks Hats for pussy cats ´cause AIDS I don´t want that And for the DJ´s here´s somethin´ y´all can scratch Technique twelve the needle hits the wax Hypnotize the crowd the dance floor´s jam packed Now sing along like a Negro spiritual No one got shot tonight it´s a miracle
But what´s this I hear y´all wanna take my spot You got a better chance puttin´ a gorilla in a headlock I´m too focused I can see through your lens You ain´t a G, just a wannabe kingpin So, the next time y´all wanna pay for protection I suggest that you hit up the Haitian Sicilian 80 Bars, 80 Scars 80 Bars, 80 Scars 80 Bars, 80 Scars 80 Bars
