Cannibal Ox - Straight Off The D.I.C. lyrics

Vast (talking; Vordul in () Yo, yo (what) Def Jux, cipher unknown (this is hard right here) Co-Flow what the deal? (this is Brooklyn right here) This on fire right now (this is east, this is west) 3rd degree (what) (Vast Aire) Yo, I been nice but you rather put your hat in your sleeve And break arms like Segal, don't wear your heart on your sleeve There's two things in life; fact and belief Yea, and you best to believe, it's a fact I just rolled the leaf Def Jux don't care about your culture or creed Or the color you bleed, and it'll be Ox versus aliens All you see is martians piled up As the yeast in my b-boy chest rises up You ain't a convict, you got caught jaywalking And you don't know the alphabet, but you still talking Well I got a blade too And I know it's sharp enough to cut you They call me starvin' Harlem, scissor tongue, I lick tissue And pardon me, my lava just spit almost hit you You know I got lava spit and got a lot of it We can call it in the air, this is for rain drop missiles Heads or tails The last cat who tried to see me, he now gotta touch braille Everybody inherit the earth, why not? We can sell it to the frail, and feed 'em fairy tales (Vordul) Cannibal O-plus the-X Love to s**, microphones, the type of poems We spit rips through scripts and strips ya bones Yo we sick wit poems off the dome I'm off the known, inhaling Newports and nics Cause New York is sick, still we walk and spit Straight off the D.I.C Wit these n***as please you freeze in the NYC where everyone.. Live from the 1-3-5 representing n***as that strive Straight through hard times trying to survive Inside of New York, the island of crime Where the most violent of minds, walkin these blocks Stay eyeing on mine, yo my brain sparks like sporting a glock I might start firing live, straight off of the top Cannibal Ox, inspiring minds, flipping on tracks Spitting these live, animal raps I'm strangling cats, sliding on my side of the map Thinking he all, you aint got it like a mighty matter of fact You small, claiming you large? I'm pulling ya car, leavin ya scarred Reppin tragedy, warfare, but nod yo, this god writes like Travelled bars and dabbled stars and shine to Rap Allah, yo we crack cigars that gettin' me stressed Pulling on sets, stabbing these birds, loving the s** Now I'm chillin in front of my rest Smoking the rent, watching these cops, popping on blocks Screaming y'all n***as aint nothing awake We trying to gain freedom like a tribe in Tibet Starving n***as had to still spit it live on the set Live on the set You know what I'm sayin? I dunno So n***a How you do it, we stay moving Through the jungle, ghetto surviving, spittin lines off the How you do it, we stay moving Through the jungle, ghetto surviving, spittin lines off the So how you do it, Cannibal O-plus the-X Love to s**, microphones, the type of poems We spit rips through scripts and strips ya bones Off the dome, I'm off the known, inhaling Newports and eights Cause New York is sick, but still we walk and spit Straight off the D.I.C.
