Aceyalone - Serve & Protect lyrics

Ah Yeah Nobody move, nobody gets hurt [VERSE 1] When it first hits you And you figure out the truth it's quite shockin To see the mic rockin, beat knockin They throwin punches but I'm blockin I hit the open gash and I clock em Rock em, sock em, my only intention Is the off-the-ground suspension With the decision for mid-air collision Crash! That's my intention All that means is smash a rapper, bash a rapper, rapper slash Remember what happened last time a rapper flashed? To throw flames he forgot that hell was hot No brains, you just parked your car in Salem's lot And Sky-Cam knows who I am The shots will be aimed at you, helpless lamb [CHORUS] I hold it down (serve and protect) Blow up the spot (serve and protect) Take you out (serve and protect) The mic is mine (serve and protect) The time is now (serve and protect) I speak the word (serve and protect) Close your mouth (serve and protect) And that's my job (serve and protect) [VERSE 2] Statistics say linguistics pay My mystic display made em insist that I stay Huh, I'm on the level where I meditate and levatate And dedicate every awaken day so I can celebrate My last drink of water, my last piece of bread I'm the last bullet in the chamber aimed at your head Stranger, cause you thought I was better off dead Not shot out of anger but duty instead Look, me and you rappers got one common thread We both speak the language so you know what I said The spot only grounds where I bled The tracks are my tears from the love that I spread Grieve no more when you breathe no more Do you believe in happiness or believe in war? Speak no more, talk no more I open up my pour-through and I walk through the door [CHORUS] [VERSE 3] Better calm your nerves before you get served For sure I give you what you deserve And then some, I win some, I win some I win some, I win some, I hold em for ransom Has nothin to do with bein handsome When I enhance em I dance em around like a marionette I bet, then string em along like a pet Poodle, walk the dog but get stopped in your tracks Shake the ground and you drop to your back The uncontrollable urge for me and the beats emerge Sends a surge of shockwaves through my words And you are my target I got a infinite amount of ammunition just to spark it In the end all you heard was a scream Diggin as dug in the concrete, a disappearing dream And don't tell me how it seems To hold it down (to serve and protect) To blow up the spot (to serve and protect) To take you out (to serve and protect) The mic is mine (to serve and protect) The time is now (to serve and protect) I speak the word (to serve and protect) Close your mouth (to serve and protect) That's my job (to serve and protect) With respect
