Inspectah Deck - Cross My Heart lyrics

[Intro: (child) k**ah Priest] (One two, one two) No doubt (The microphone's on) Cross my heart, hope to die, word is bond (I've been waiting along time for this) Here we go, k**ah Priest, '97, '98 [Verse 1: k**ah Priest] It's the Byzantine king, supreme All kneel kiss the ring into a Elohim I blow steam from the families of the Maccabees Smack emcees, watch 'em scream, "Your Majesty!" Make them suffer the capacity of tragedy Hold the crowd down like gravity Back the f** off, stop grabbing me, hands off me n***as start to bore me, I'm getting sleepy, I need some coffee Me and my Wu-bandits We bury n***as deep in the canvas, body bandage Like some mummies, you f**ing dummies You can't take nothing from me It's the longest waited The most anticipated, the album hesitated Scream the name out, "k**ah Priest!" I leave the blood spilling in the streets I'm from the dark hills of Brownsville The seven shields on windmills across the k**ing fields Never forget it, tell them rap critics I speak in arithmetics So they can never get it, I'm too scientific Lyrics explicit, I roll with thirsty n***as, thieves and k**ers tigers, gorillas, faces like Godzilla We stomp rappers and smile like a card dealer We got iller, cross my heart and hope to die We multiply, by the hundreds Drunken by the thousand, see me outside your show browsing Beating up your soundmen Player haters and players, we give 'em cold stares Any last prayers? [Verse 2: Inspectah Deck] Concrete techniques, bomb beats that cause casualties My faculty, hold it down like gravity Rapidly threaten like weapons to adolescents Ghetto residents quick to past tense your present State of the slums, k** for a plate of crumbs Fake ones, they're coarse with smiles with snake tongues I'm deep into this,I sometimes gasp for air Deadly warfare, hot blocks, cops, and cold stares Shots blare like fireworks on July the 4th Weapons get tossed, fugitive sliding off My forces combine, new world, 2009 Digital criminals, we make mills in cybercrime It's all planned ahead 2 times, I see the signs through a great mind The heaviest chains could not bind [Chorus: k**ah Priest] We stare you eye to eye We tell the truth no lie We cross our heart and hope to die.. hope to die.. [Verse 3: Genius/GZA] High ranked officials in armed tanks with missiles Blood drizzle, simple fact, you slept on the issue That before you started jerkin off Joysticks and Sega I was rocking off 100 watt amps in Cerwin-Vega True fine tune it, ship enough units MCs ask, "Who be those rhyme k**ers in masks?" No doubt, difficult task to last in the square Beware, infinite amount of darts is in the air I'm victorious with no opponents and blast through components With microphonics, watch the whole world live the moment Anything anti became approaching this Our incapable love speech remains motionless [Chorus 2X] Hope to die..
