[nas escobar]
You ever dance with the devil under the pale moonlight?
Desperadostravellin
What the fuck's up son?
We could do this word upwe could do this

Chrous: the firm

Spend too many nights on the henny gettin right
Breakin big face benniesbettin against the friendly dice
I can't call itit's goin too good to spoil it
Tell it like it isthe raw shit never rewarded
(repeat 2x)

[canibus]
At a thousand degree celsius I make mc's melt
Fuck my record label I appear courtesy of myself
Let me explain how I maintain thresholds to pain
I walk across the sun barefoot lookin for shade
I rearrange your rib cage like a twelve gauge at close range
And change the position of your brain
My hard raps penetrate through your hardhats and all that
Niggaget ya wig peeled back
I scalp you like the indians on horseback
Running bull will hit you harder than runningback
Stunning man with brave and cunning rap
Swiftly running laps around 48 tracks
Like uncut crack you fiends keep coming back
Heads is flippin like acrobats on gym mats
From wax to analog tapes to digital dat's
It's critical blackthat canibus is ill like that
In fact perhaps you should quit rapinstead of always
Tryin to diss backcause niggaz keep tellin you that your shit's wack
I rip rapshardcore raps rushin you to the floor mat
Put you in the figure fourbreak your thorax
Jump off the top turnbuckle and land on your back
Til I hear it snap or cracklethe ref says chill black
You get clapped bringin the wrong raps to combat
Like bringin a paint gun to a shoot out with real gats
Y'all niggaz is wackrappin over microphone feedback
My intelligence begins where yours peaks at
From fox boogie in the see-through brasierreto nasty nas here
My nigga nature'll explain it further if it's not clear

[nas and foxy brown]
Millionaire look at the sky make sure it's still there
Ice grill stares and my jewelry is in every year
Pierre cardan back in a dapper dan time
Now flexangle wrecksfoxy rock van klein

[nas escobar]
Initiated to the firm shitreal thugs learn quick
Sit back and feel the ultimate hit
Initiated to the firm shitreal thugs learn quick
Sit back and feel the ultimate hit

Betcha tiredbitch ass niggaz need to be caged up
So raise up fuck the playinI'm sick of layin

Nigga cool still bet I'll be home before the news will
Blast fuse and leave purple frank matthews
Perhaps you confuse the concept blackcash rules
Incog-gedanother had more deez involved
Known freeze condo seize seven keys dissolved
Daily routinespeakin up for niggaz who sling
Hand to hand on them street corners claimin you king

Guzzle the toxiconly fake niggaz drop snitch
Get your guns outit don't take much for me to dumb out

Deeper than the laws of physicsmalibu sandthe gorgeous bitches
Weed from 1-2-5my whole crew live
A true desperadoone that never choose sides
And show sympathyjust qban entity
Stock exchangetop of the gamewatch you mention me
Image is nothin just obey your thirst
I blaze the purple hazesit in a dazethen display your birth
For those concerned or just eager to learn
I speak for the firmwas told to keep the cheeba to burn
Stashin my richespast traditionslike olympics
Pass the torch flip shit so y'all could picture my thoughtsI'm driftin
It's type ill wakin up lookin like filth
Twenty years younger same hunger same ice grill
Genetically form grade a pedigree
Born to carve rhymesa swift tongue helped to set it free
Theoretically peep how we bless thisyoung and restless
Guns and westinslearnin to connect through lessons
From cool feats to campsniggaz shoot back
It's a proven factnine-seven's miney'all niggaz move back
