When you're running like a dog in the 40 hour week [Chorus:] And you try so hard to, try so hard, but you can't keep up the pace When the paycheck
CHAPTER ONE victim of atrocities my razor blade the oceans shall rise sky deep reach inevitable chaotic pace smoke stack pollutes digestion is the end
' yo crib like you ballin' big, I was killin' em' with patience You pussy niggaz can't face him, they wanna erase him like Jason But now they shakin' and pacing
One life to get it right, there's no time to waste One track in this rat race, keep up with the pace Who is sure the rich or the poor I'll take my time
, break off beats, the baddest Style's the baddest, bring extra clips to stop the madness Yo, we in the place (Now whut's up?) DJ, pick up the pace (
smooth is the main ingredient You have to be silky like a Milky Way To be able to make it work, you rest and play (You out there? Louder) I control the pace
my name's the R A K I M Not like the rest of them I'm not on a list That's what I'm sayin' I drop science like a scientist My melody's in a code the
MC's talk big but sonic waves crack yer helmet. Before long, the chicken heads crush they pelvic, bones, I blow up spot-slam microphones, Thinkin' 'bout pacing
Along the track the wires are humming in bursts of code like far-off drums.... Fathering the message: further up the line someone's shouting down the
to the mix, more tricks that a 666 So you better grab a crucifix Men at work...(x8) My ideas overload And the records I make explode in every zip code
, so where's my consalation prize? I'm taking lies / from faking guys...and gals...who want to be my pals...and peers / At this here pace, it'll take
the kids pack heat when it's time to roam Everybody's on the scramble, life's a gamble Hoppin' on the white horse, tryin' to get a handle On the fast pace
that Mary Jane, I need that Mary Jane Like a junkie need crack run through the veins See niggas takin' pills, I mean they poppin' 'em man But can y'all niggas code
You dealin with a four headed monster Ya'll are John McCain you can't lift your arms up These piranhas live by a certain code of conduct Fuck fly ho's
All them shorties, everybody yell "All lovely" [Raekwon] I chop meat out ya face, Daddy, gladly Mad breeze on, rubberband currency and I splash ya visa You know the code
...what? That shit is past tense Pass the microphone and watch this nigga crack the C with that ill shit, I came to kill shit I crack the code, must be
Showin' yo crib like you ballin' big, I was killin' em' with patience Them pussy niggaz can't face him, they wanna erase him like Jason But now they shakin' and pacing
(feat. Vinnie Paz) I isolate a regime that works twice the pace of your team These Jedi mind tricks are no dream Kill code receive you do not need to
