Lyrics
I think you better let it go
You need attention? I send medical
Basically trying to harm me, you're crazy
Musically I'm blazing, physically I'm Gracie
Triangle choke ya
Like what the fuck could've provoked ya?
We don't know each other, kid, and I did not insult ya
Don't make me feed the fish, feed the trees, or feed the vultures
I don't throw stones, I throw statues and sculptures
I block blows with strikes and strikes with blows
I slice foes with my mic at shows
I counterattack to turn the tables in an instant
Move out of range and step in to close distance
Resistance, relax for less friction
Leverage and technique bring chokes and submissions
You got heart, you plan to make it happen
But none of my family are chumps and never have been
Respect mine, protect myself at all times
Build twice next time before you cross the line
I guess this is what you call a turn of events
And the best offense is a good defense
You want to hit us? We can hit back
If you talk that talk, you got to live that
Whatever you put out, you're going to get back
Self-defense, you wish you never did that
You want to hit us? We can hit back
If you talk that talk, you got to live that
Whatever you put out, you're going to get back
Self-defense, you wish you never did that
Stay ready for the worst
Paranoid? Straight
Smart enemies hit you where you think you're safe
Self-defense, cut my fingerprints with razor blades
I'm in the cut, the kind you don't recognize with shades
Tattoos? None to trace
Only thing between me and the board is a straight face
Answers to questions, full eye contact
This confrontation ain't physical but still combat
Leave yourself left with options to choose
The last line of defense for my crew, don't lose
Psychic, precise, right and exact for songs
Only time we've been wrong is when we thought we were wrong
The science all format's inconclusive
But peace first, war last, these words are crucial
Conflict resolved, but to those that want to brawl
Pain is inevitable, suffering's optional
Also, dropping the ball ain't recommended
When life or death decisions are made within seconds
Of course we make the right one strategically through
Self-defense, but not by myself, Babu
You want to hit us? We can hit back
If you talk that talk, you got to live that
Whatever you put out, you're going to get back
Self-defense, you wish you never did that
You want to hit us? We can hit back
If you talk that talk, you got to live that
Whatever you put out, you're going to get back
Self-defense, you wish you never did that
