Above the Law - Murder Rap lyrics

"Yo, Cold 187 they tryin' to
Give you a murder rap
And you ain't even like that
Yo, serve these niggas
'cause they deserve to get dissed" (yeah)
(Check this out)

When I sit down and write and
Recite for the mic I hold
Make sure my beats are loud and bold and Cold
187, that is my name
Makin' it simple and plain
Here to rearrange and change
The things that I couldn't do in the past
Don't be surprised when you got
A shotgun up your ass
Perpetrators, that one was just for you
I'm gonna leave ya in your
Seat remaining without a clue
Glued to my style like a fiend on coke
But if you say the wrong thing


I wash your mouth out with soap
Dope, is not the answer no, I'm not a Cancer
No, I'm not a hero or zero
But a Leo in stereo and this is not a demo
K-Oss and Go Mack be cuttin'
The flex tempo fast

Now I got a murder rap
'Cause a brother like me said well
Now I got a murder rap
'Cause a brother like me said well
Now I got a murder rap
'Cause a brother like me said well
Now I got a murder rap
'Cause a brother like me said well

Yo, fingerprints ain't nuthin' without
The murder weapon keep steppin'
Homicide tried to sweat
But we let 'em have it
You can see they fear through they teeth
Treat 'em like Rolaids and
Give 'em some relief

I feel action speaks louder
Than words and verbs
And adjectives, I live the life
The given gift
Not who's first, second or third
Not he said or she said or what you heard
Nerd 'Cause when you live like that
Your life is mangled
In other words your life is all tangled up
I'm not a sucker, always go for mine
Powerlord that's hard from the start
And he will always (climb)
To the top as high as he can achieve
Sometimes that's even higher than
The others believe
I'm not a doctor, not a poet
I don't have a degree
Not arrogant, egotistical, I'm the epitome
We take recon, these suckas are lying
Transform into another world as
I recite these rhymes
187, he's as hard as it comes
And I don't have to brag
About the size of my gun, son

Now I got a murder rap
'Cause a brother like me said well
Now I got a murder rap
'Cause a brother like me said well
Now I got a murder rap
'Cause a brother like me said well

Criminals don't use lyrics and
Define themselves as notorious
Brothers gotta learn Hip Hop
Anger rages inside themselves
Your freedom will never resist to my
Contact K-Oss and the homie G

187 breakin' back, backbone of my group
Fat kid in my posse and I'm gettin' loose
'Cause I'm takin' out posses
Causin' bodily harm
Makin' moves to improve as
I begin to brainstorm
I'm not inferior, not takin' no crap
Last sucker tried to diss me
Cold got his neck slapped
'Cause power's my name, sometimes I'm insane
And if I get too mad, I have to rearrange
Your position as a MC
That's the way it should be
The way I get over, I use terminology
That's comprehensive, redemptive
That's evidently not related to the
Style that you hear everyday
B-boy destroyin' a toy, employin'
While the other suckers are depressed
I'm enjoyin' what I'm doin'
And ruin anyone's hope for my position
Tell em KMG, they on a mission

They on a mission
They keep wishin you can't come off
187, you're a menace in your own mind
So take heed and proceed with caution
When he rhymes

Now I got a murder rap
Here's a murder rap to keep ya dancin'
Now I got a murder rap
Cause a brother like me said well
