Hit 'em again (Here's a little story that must be told) Police maybe, punks never Our rhymes are slammin and we won't ever Become intimidated by the gossip stated Instead we'll strive and let it motivate us 'Cause we are brothers, don't try to diss The 3 will get evil and then commit Assault with deadly lyrics and make you admit 7A3 - we ain't havin' it When you recover you'll try to contend But the 3 will be waitin' and we'll hit you again Intellectual seekers, seekin' intellect So if you're stalkin' you better come correct And guaranteed that when I give you a taste It's like I buck you in your head and your grill out your face So when they come to your funeral the casket's closed The secrets that you keep are never exposed 'Cause you thought you was a champ but you're just another vic Said we were stupid but you're not that slick Heard we're in the house, got your posse and hurried Looked into my eyes - and then you scurried Out the door because you have no heart I see you seen the future and it tears you apart Once you was a enemy but now you're a friend Because you don't want the 3 to hit em again Once upon a time when I first started rhymin' I used to wonder when I would start climbin' The charts, lookin' away from the common problem I lacked patience, and virtues, I had none So I had to learn as time went on About the trips I might be sent on And by trips I don't mean a vacation The first law of nature is self-preservation So my motto is to hit em again You want to know why? Well, my friend In the end the truth is you may not win And if you don't win you can hit em again Because of what I am and how I stand You tend to fear my kind of man Collectin' knowledge from the mother Earth And seekin' out the prophecies since the date of birth Brothers and sisters, believe in your dreams Because without em you're a falcon with just one wing Always lookin' over mountains to see the sky When you could look down as in the clouds you fly Look at the child and all I feel is sorrow It's hard today, and then tomorrow... See, life is a game and anybody can win And if at first you don't succeed, well then you hit em again
