Verse 1: Killer Mike & El-P:
DmDm
Gun in the holster be
Right in the upholstery
Somewhere right close to me
Just in case the rollers be
DmDm
Rolling on the G+G
My woman keep it in the hosiery
I'm known in my town
N.C.
In those strips where high-rollers be
DmDm
I'm up early, where the money folders sippin' Folgers be
A augmentedA country boy chilling in Brooklyn like Lefty spoke for me
DmDm
Fuck with us
You fuck with the truth, we speak openly
     DmDm
Never a rat, like Donnie Brasco, though
Cause there ain't no hoe in me

Verse 2: El-P & Killer Mike:
DmDm
"Notice me, senpai!" they cry when I choke their speak
I'll set this crooked city on fire to light the smokery
DmDm
Old timers speak of us hushed and clutch their rosaries
I lust after greatness, I'm aiming right at its ovaries
DmDm
Better run from the future palooka (haul off)
You acting like it's safe when the revolution's been (called off)
     DmDm
There's liars on the loose, if we listen to you we're (all lost)
The takers of the jewels never singing a tune at (all soft)

Verse 3: Killer Mike:
DmDm
I smoke the holy herb, get high as hell and meditate
Swear to God, shit's so good, fat boy'll levitate
DmDm
God gift to man, how the fuck they try to legislate
Mom's, she recovering, tell me I over-medicate
DmDm
I tell her, "Holy fuck, Jesus Christ, give me a fucking break"
She said, "Don't curse your mama, goddammit," and threw a dinner plate (damn)

Verse 4: El-P:
DmDm
I heard it in Brooklyn where all the sinners stay
You running out of ways to go fuck yourself, I will innovate
DmDm
The skin of your shitty grin will disintegrate
Every sickening sentence'll cheapen them tricks you venerate
DmDm
Set the phaser to face-plate-incinerate
Run the Jewels, run with the Borg, baby, assimilate
