[05:06.00]The Hidden Hand
[05:06.00][Fat Joe]
[05:06.00]Yea, time to educate the youth (Speak on it God)
[05:06.00]Cause if we won't, then who will? (True)
[05:06.00]Terror Squad style, yo
[05:06.00](Speak on it God)
[05:06.00]
[05:06.00]Yo, I was a wild adolescent, blessed with the foul essence
[05:06.00]Messin around with the wrong crowd, I learned my lesson
[05:06.00]Stressin all the things that I have not
[05:06.00]I pray to God I get my Uncle out the crack spot
[05:06.00]I hear mad shots, homicide come and play Matlock
[05:06.00]but never crack the case cause the defendant's a bad cop
[05:06.00]You feel me fam? The devil's got a plan
[05:06.00]That's why Farrakhan formed a Million Man up in Washington
[05:06.00]The Hidden Hand even planned this man
[05:06.00]Have me goin hand to hand, killin my own clan
[05:06.00]But now I understand and see the big picture
[05:06.00]F**k cryin about the struggle, I teach you how to get richer
[05:06.00]
[05:06.00][Cuban Link]
[05:06.00]Sh*t is a hassle in this rotten apple, kids robbin coppin capsules
[05:06.00]Rockin tattoos, boppin with ankles locked in shackles
[05:06.00]Got the cops joggin at you, spittin rounds of clips, they down wit it
[05:06.00]New clowns'll make you feel as if the Bill of Rights is counterfeit
[05:06.00]Now it's been written that all men are equal, but then it's legal
[05:06.00]when they beat us and treat us as if we're different people
[05:06.00]We go for delf, f**k the cop's health
[05:06.00]I'd rather drop shelf and let off shots until my Glock melts
[05:06.00]Cause God dealt us a helpless hand, they made us sell this land
[05:06.00]so the palest man could build a selfish plan
[05:06.00]You know we can't trust the government, cause Uncle Sam is smugglin
[05:06.00]*** for us to hustle all the stuff for him
[05:06.00]Even McGruff is in it, gettin a percentage
[05:06.00]Takin advantage, punishin just blacks and hispanics
[05:06.00]
[05:06.00][Big Punisher]
[05:06.00]My heart is cold as ice, so I know I'm sheist, Big Pun was the kid
[05:06.00]that no one liked, my whole life, is one big roll of the dice
[05:06.00]Payin a price twice as expensive as white kids
[05:06.00]Destined for Riker's not knowin my existance was priceless
[05:06.00]IT'S LIKE THIS, my soul was lifeless, I earned stripes
[05:06.00]fightin the nicest in the crisis I slice em in half and make em dash
[05:06.00]like hyphens, invitin any rapper to Clash With the Titan
[05:06.00]The writing's like fighting cause rappers be biting like Tyson
[05:06.00]I'm hypein the crowd, keepin em Loud like my label
[05:06.00]I'm proud I'm able to lift from the bowels of the ghetto
[05:06.00]I found me a little sanity inside a career and a family
[05:06.00]No more wars and renderin tears to insanity
[05:06.00]So keep the salary and tear the mic, cause I love it
[05:06.00]There's my life, you judge it, f**k it Seis, I don't want it
[05:06.00]
[05:06.00][Triple Seis]
[05:06.00]I'm a Dominican, stranded in New York like Filligan
[05:06.00]Don't wanna get locked up in the pen again
[05:06.00]But here they come, the faggots and cuffs, searchin for guns
[05:06.00]Turnin they ride on the side of the curb to see who runs
[05:06.00]They authorize the beast to walk the streets holdin heat
[05:06.00]Four deep, we puff production, my cheek, you know my steez
[05:06.00]F**k the police, usin"probable cause" to break laws
[05:06.00]Behind the badge you try to cover up your racial war
[05:06.00]I got somethin for you boys in blue
[05:06.00]The system poisoned you, blew your cover, now what you supposed to do?
[05:06.00]I never let the faggot pull the trig first
[05:06.00]It won't be no American flag over my hearse
[05:06.00]What's worse, you know they disperse for bucks
[05:06.00]So take caution in the streets cause our protection sucks
[05:06.00]
[05:06.00][Armaggedon]
[05:06.00]This dude, he had the darkest pads
[05:06.00]Who dressed up in the heart of brash
[05:06.00]Forever talkin trash
[05:06.00]How he stacked niggaz to almanac
[05:06.00]Gunshots to corner four police informants
[05:06.00]Stood like he modeled the latest fashions, sidewalk sideshow performance
[05:06.00]He raised the pull of grace, a razor blew his face
[05:06.00]Force calm the ?sere? plus a pack of the ?dunga dun? laced with toothpaste
[05:06.00]Life ain't to be gambled son, you could get trampled
[05:06.00]by people that act more like animals than mammals high off enamel
[05:06.00]That's what his poppa said whose locked for droppin Akmed
[05:06.00]in the candy store robbery probably to get his veins fed
[05:06.00]He ain't listen, he became a braindead coc*ine head
[05:06.00]Older Mexicans knew, they killed him eatin ?bagualitos?
[05:06.00]But hey little kids, don't follow these dopes
[05:06.00]
[05:06.00][Prospect]
[05:06.00]What? Uh-huh, yea I can dig that
[05:06.00]They call me Prospect, I just came back from ?
[05:06.00]Had this track on pause, now I'm back on course
[05:06.00]It's lost on the Ave, tryin to take my life from the past
[05:06.00]Get this legal cash, ? without dad
[05:06.00]Kinda sad how he got dragged down to negativity
[05:06.00]Only if he had one love, trust for liberty
[05:06.00]this world would be a better place, get what it takes
[05:06.00]in a race to racism replace the snake in em
[05:06.00]Bad ones, want to spend lives and discriminate
[05:06.00]I'm tryin to keep this positive vibe, and from that
[05:06.00]I generate to the top, like Puffy won't stop
[05:06.00]I'm mature now, with one knot, from tryin to get locked
[05:06.00]And to the shorties on the block, tryin to twist 40 tops
[05:06.00]Get your act together, do some carpentry with a Black n Decker
[05:06.00]And stop speedin like a Kawasaki
[05:06.00]From my life, to your life, I'm touchin everybody Twinz watch me
[05:06.00]
