Street general Street general [Verse 1: MF Grimm] If you Relate with my life, that's great. If you can't, that's Even better 'cause I don't want you to feel me Just playing the cards life chose to deal me Choking while government proceeds to hang me Burn neck from strangling, laugh while dangling Live, stand. America delight me when I'm angrying Bruce Banner, star spangling Wreck perspective, on angles, mangling Life in purgatory. To death, we're tangling Echo in your ears ringing 'em, guns banging while You're bling-bling jingling, Mr. Bojangling Off-beat, on-beat, concrete-jungle-juggling Organizing riots, tier-threes, box I'm bugging in Visits by Jay Black, so I'm hugging him Box with me to guide me, I'm not leaving him. 'Til I return to the essence, you best believe I'm breathing him Nozzle fire freeze foes, grovel form engraving 'em Invisible tombstones and bones how I'm slaying 'em Platinum, alloyed iridium, idiots' idol Ignoring ironic, igniting ice and idioms Brain bionic, Johnny Mnemonic when I spit 'em, I Smash his glass mic, and the crowd just pity him 'Cause, at one point in life, they were feeling him Now they're mad at me 'cause what I did to him, but I'm A grown-ass man, dawg thought he had a kid with him [Hook: MF Grimm] Street general, MF Grimm declares War Street general Street general MF Grimm declares War Street general [Verse 2: MF Grimm] Burn Enemy asses like an acid enema Emasculating, penetrating enamel who gamble Annihilating perpetrating soloists in pairs Anti-Emancipating, Solomon's dares Optimize demise of lies for materialistic Wearers of Jacob ice that glares from The hypnotizing Sun to pupils of the people who's Perverted purpose is pull position past others To possess nonsense novelties Scratching the itch, allergic to poverty Chuck D said, "Fight powers that be," but house Niggas, out of spite, burn fields and fight we To show those who oppress us the best that Lord Knows these niggas ain't nothing like we—they Refuse to eat the glorious fruit From the poisonous tree, so How can they lose, be beat, or at least bruised If they don't seek to reap the rewards of the ripe, glorious Fruit from the poisonous tree? From the fruit, they Flee—massa, they not like the boys and me. Your Slave, Percy Carey, he's the one in the lead Show his ass a lesson, whip him 'til he bleeds Trying to teach the babies? Hang him from a tree Let them stay illiterate, don't let them niggas read Rain or shine's on my mind, so I'm screaming out, "Shaheed" I'm aware I'm a medium of different type of sources Heartless, vandalized by several different forces Laughing at my misfortune, forces are remorseless I ride love and anger like well-conditioned horses Runaway slave saying, "Try, nigga, try" Brainwave stays crying, "Why, nigga, why?" Like they're concerned, but these spy niggas spies What they're really saying is, "Die, nigga, die" Trying to break me, but they don't know me Whip me savage, say my name is Toby Before I submit to the one who think they're master I'ma take aim and empty out my pistol Born at war, started out a soldier Now have four stars tattooed on each shoulder Street general, MF Grimm declares War [Hook: MF Grimm] Street general, MF Grimm declares War. Street general Street general Street general MF Grimm declares War Street general [Outro: MF Grimm and George Bush Samples] [MF Grimm] This shit is crazy, Marty. I hear Bush. I hear, I hear Bush. Aagghh. I'm either hearing voices or I'm hearing George W [George Bush Samples] "I believe that people whose skins aren't necessarily... or, or a different color than white can sell guns and have a great sense of optimism and possibility" "Listen, this nation is committed to dealing with poverty. First, let me make it very clear: poor people aren't necessarily killers. Just because you happen to be not rich, doesn't mean you're willing to kill"
