I attack, flow Prove and show I'm Stronghold 5, yo Stronghold. Remember the name, keep yelling it Strange like Purple Smurfs, circle Earth like Magellan kids Catch me wrestling elephants in tenements A good life, Antimins with cinnamon—simple them Wack MCs yell, “Censor him.” Entering I move swift like ninja swim, injuring Pseudo-pros pose battle stance Cold winter wars cause avalanche dance Get down, son Perfect—bonus in Round 1 [Hook: Breez Evahflowin' and Stelf Index] This be the stake through the heart The arrow in your chest The stab in your back And the slash on your neck The cash on your check, b**h With the best sh** Out of control, Stronghold, sh** is hectic [Verse 3: Stelf Index] In the evening, your odds are no escape.
