L.I.F.E. Long - Fall Back lyrics

[Verse 1: Loer Velocity] Sirens and lights flare when we're right there Causing conditions critical. Not the typical Something more like the average around-the-way reciprocal Hardcore rugged remains the Loer principle My individual cell splits out the physical Get you for residuals, type indivisible Pushing the issue through the ceiling's floor above When seeing this painting from the remains of slugs I'm an emcee's drug, restrained, and gagged Hostage-style, getting clubbed and dragged Half-in stays the sagging jeans when I walk Gangster but still use Langston with the talk What? Close, shut. Extremely the emcee Antagonistic with my usual tendency To anoint the pen and pad and exploit in misery You don't want the repercussions of us in this industry [Bridge 1: Loer Velocity] Fall back, fall back, fall back, fall back [Verse 2: L.I.F.E. Long] The suspect seen trooping through the urban Attire. Whatever I feel to enhance my person In the city. Rotten where we working While villains play the corner, murking Some got slug reports for earning Ways of survival for disappearing rivals Medals for codes of honor Toolsmiths with bangers ready to bang out with ka-bangers Anger strikes the air. Hear the war cry New York City the place where shells fly See from a glance. What you looking at? Got a problem, son? You don't know me Ain't a game. Now I'm sizing frames, see? It's crazy you holding, so I'm dirty too Plus .45 seems bigger that your .22 You looking for trouble? Things about to bubble Now the situation's deep. What? co*k back, fall back [Hook: Samples with DJ Emmo Scratches] “When they wanna act up, yo” - Sample from [?] “[?] sunk in the jump” - Sample from [?] “We're coming at you” - Sample from [?] “n***as won't be laughing long” - Sample from [?] “So let the drama fly” - Sample from [?] “When they wanna act up, yo” - Sample from [?] “You better stand clear” - Sample from [?] "Punks, take a sip and test. Who splits your vest?" – Sample from Redman on Method Man & Redman's "How High" “What you want to do? What you want to do?” - Sample from [?] [Verse 3: Loer Velocity and L.I.F.E. Long] [Loer Velocity] Holist turn you whole list into pieces Sold separately. “Don't want to wreck with me” the thesis But, to his own, each is ignorant Mr. Hardheaded don't get it [L.I.F.E. Long] We sing what's belligerent [Loer Velocity] Tend innocence [L.I.F.E. Long] In a sequence We present-day past tense Day before, we the future ones smacking brows Exchange hands with the fisticuff and Long You bound to catch lumps. Now it's on [Loer Velocity] It's like: when we spit, get your sh** tarred, feathered, and scorned Or weather from the downpour ripped, shredded, and torn Temperature raised. Under the collar, warm Embedded frustration, we the swarm, intimidation [L.I.F.E. Long] Never know what you might be facing Embracing jaws, leaving grills tapped You don't want to be in the crossfire, smacked We come on the mic blasting, bodying tracks [Loer Velocity] Co-smashing on the mic, lobbying an act of war Right in front of the bodega corner store [L.I.F.E. Long] Explore the picture to capture the moment Got the block locked, making opponents stop for atonement [Bridge 2: Samples with DJ Emmo Scratches] “When they wanna act up, yo” - Sample from [?] [Outro: Sample from [?]] Somebody's got to go back and get the truth. And they've got to get it in spite of the consequences of being called names. Because, otherwise, if George Bush is talking about fighting a ten-to-fifteen-year war, then you know we're gonna go back to a draft. And if you've got an eight- or a ten-year old child sitting with you tonight, in ten years, they're gonna be in military fatigues, so even if it doesn't directly affect you tonight, have a vision. Have a vision for the next ten years and say, “Unless I clearly under-the-stand this thing and ask the right questions now, then my baby sitting next to me is gonna be in fatigues and I'm not going to be able to explain how they got there”
