Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lil Fame, with Billy Danze] Here comes the revolutionist, executionist Flip a triple 6 into three 9s, cause a crucifix Each man holdin', no man foldin' Coast is clear and Premier's in the green tank, rollin' Prepare! Get on your post and stand clear They wantin' to shut us down, but the home team's here What?! You act like a tweet or something This ain't no Desert Storm bullshit war, we all dumpin' CODENAME: Jamal Grinnage Strapped wit' six clips of teflon, suited in camoflagued Got kevlar helmets, wit' masses Wearin' mob gear in case they try to infumigate us wit' gasses MISSION: To seek and destroy We were sent to get rid of you, make the situation critical First Family will gradually lift that ass up like gravity And turn your body frame into a cavity N.F.O.! That's No Fair Ones Watch mi 9 milli turn into a flare gun Sparkin' wit' the Saint Marxmen Known for gunnin' and runnin' and bombin' Wit' the lemon squeeze and my gun barkin' – YA HEARD!?! You know my family style I'm goin' out wit' my gun in my hand like Big Mal I ain't got nothin' to lose, so move on me if it's something to prove Fool, this is war! [Chorus: DJ Premier scratches] "There's a war goin on outside no man is safe from" [Prodigy] "So what you gonna do since you know now?!" [Brother Arthur] "There's a war goin on outside" "It's impossible to stop" [Jed Dust] [Verse 2: Guru] This world's a twisted maze, but I got the swiftest blades My swords, they can slice and dice, precise ways Those who come against me, can get blazed, sprayed, and laid No trace, just a glimpse of my face, hittin' the shade You look up, there's a full moon in the sky And all my would-be enemies – yeah, they're soon to die Living in this warzone, we'll frequent fly your dome Many of us grow violent prone, ain't trying to be dyin' alone So I'ma take the competition wit' me, Lord forgive me But a whole bunch of blood-suckin' punks is out to get me In a flash of a moment, I slash vital components Trying to scheme on me and my team, bitch – you know we own this We can scrap, wit' guns, knives, chains, and bats Whatever, baby – erase that ass quick fast off the map Plus they better bring, medical attention after I swing my weapon Won't be no recovery, no divine intervention No prevention from gettin hung in the streets where I'm from 'Nuff blood shed, this war's just begun [Chorus: DJ Premier scratches] "There's a war goin on outside no man is safe from" [Prodigy] "So what you gonna do since you know now?!" [Brother Arthur] "There's a war goin on outside" "It's impossible to stop" [Jed Dust] "There's a war goin on outside no man is safe from" [Prodigy] "So what you gonna do since you know now?!" [Brother Arthur] "There's a war goin on outside" "It's impossible to stop" [Jed Dust] [Verse 3: Billy Danze, (Lil' Fame), both] How many predators out there that want me? Let's have a stand off NOW! I come to just menace every one of you blood suckers Hands off – lay 'em down NOW! All culprits, be alarmed First Officer Danze, reportin' for 'Nam When I'm bringin' the storm, I'm all in Yes, I done stepped in the chest of many men THEN AGAIN It's a part of my persona like post ups and marijuana (AIII-YA!) Scout's honor – FIRE! From all angles, that's how we was trained Either slay or be slain, it's in the game for my soul To be as cold as the blood in my vein Knowin' my name, help niggas perform abnorm FIRST FAMILY! Let's get it on Just keep in mind I'm a marksman, I'm sensitive about that there So you better watch what you say to me, hear? PLAY WIT' 'EM fierce Nowhere to run, so I post and defend Forgive me, Father, I may sin And thou shall remember the code of the street (Hold heat,) roll deep, (don't sleep!) or you'll be murdered Since I've arrived, I learned how to survive on this Earth Holdin' down this turf – now I declare WAR! [Outro: DJ Premier scratches, (Lil Fame)] "There's a war goin on outside no man is safe from" "It's impossible to stop" (YEAH!) "There's a war goin on outside" "It's impossible to stop" "No man is safe" "There's a war goin on outside"
