On the Ball

Lyrics

[Intro: Announcer] Welcome back, welcome back... I don't know if you've noticed But we have some special guests here tonight with us Get on up, you know who are Yeah, once again, live... [Verse 1: Del] Let's play a game called Simon Says Let's see if you can find some bread Since niggas act like they found the steps Find out I'm five steps ahead They got ditched, left in a trench The foot soldiers missed some steps Looks like they gotta retrace their tracks Or face what's in my missile rack Zoom, boom, erase their past This the future, we laid our path We thought about it, we made our plan They can't catch that with a radar scan Played y'all cast, no addition They missed the show, no admission They be actin', they won't admit it A fallen star in the solar system [Chorus: Del] I wanna know what's really going on What's behind that wall? I know that I'm not off They paint a pretty picture but I see the writing on the wall As soon as they miss a shot, they see 'em on the ball [Verse 2: Del] My word is law, I know they heard that part before I broke it down to pieces, it's a puzzle to them all They think they right on, they couldn't be more wrong Well, put this shit together, I can't do it for you all They think too small, figure that they're big shots If they got the combination, why they gotta pick the lock? They laughin' in my face thinking they gon' crack the safe But I planned this from the gate, I just watch 'em take the bait It's easy to catch a rat — just put some cheese on the trap Shipwrecked, they want a raft — about to take a piranha bath They outta pocket, I respond and act — that don't teach 'em, karma can They sold out for a bargain and, now they wonder why they heart the man [Chorus: Del] I wanna know what's really going on What's behind that wall? I know that I'm not off They paint a pretty picture but I see the writing on the wall As soon as they miss a shot, they see 'em on the ball [Verse 3: Eligh] Your intellect so microscopic We kindly request you stay off topic Me and my friend won't conform for profit Been that way since Wheaties and lozenge Oh, won't you hand me one while I mop this Mannequin masquerade, that's my nautilus Trying to ascertain as talk shit Walking Dead coming off so obnoxious High off the Xanax and they think they rockin' Put 'em in a panic, it be stripped of nonsense But I did not come to kill your cons I came to uplift, enrich, and launch this Terrible terrific ceremony of mosh pits Sucked into the middle of your moniker mantra Middle finger dangling a double entendre We fuckin' it up and you fuck it up with the drama [Verse 4: Del] Don't try to blame me It's been sighted, you can't see Wrong page, basically In plain English — they can't read Situations, they can't escape it And now they on a hate spree Poppin' shit like I can't peep But sooner or later, they gotta face me If they got a bone to pick, it's best To do that shit in the flesh Simple — in theory, yes In practice— Petro, they gotta let go of ego they hide behind They would rather try to lie, enslave mentally, the highest crime [Chorus: Del] I wanna know what's really going on What's behind that wall? I know that I'm not off They paint a pretty picture but I see the writing on the wall As soon as they miss a shot, they see 'em on the ball [Scratched Outro] On the ball...
