Dilated Peoples, Black Thought - Hard Hitters lyrics

Stories 'bout the angels of brotherly love
This is for the sisters and
Brothers we love "Come on"
We care enough to give it uncut, straight up
With no chaser cause time don't wait up
Thats why we're sending cats back
To the lab "Worldwide"
The microphone's up for grabs
Thats why we're sending cats back
To the lab "Evidence"
The microphone's up for grabs

Yo hunters and gatherers, Nomads in Attica
Radical Terrorists and those who
Tally up the data
What matters most is they can boast
But scatter when toast is close
Burners pressed to your throat you ghost
Of course
You could chose to go against the force
I'll fire straight ahead


There'll be no mission abort
We can take it to the streets
Or take it to court
Supreme shit get hit over your fort
Open the door
We've opened up for different artists on tour
Sixty percent love, Forty percent war
Let's settle the score
Most things are rot at the core
Not what they seem
Watch the two worlds you're stuck in between
Or pay the penalty
Zero strikes, Zero Felonies
Lay low hakido master redirecting energy
I use words similar but
None sound fresher than
"Three of us who rap together"

Stories 'bout the angels of brotherly love
This is for the sisters and
Brothers we love "Come on"
We care enough to give it uncut, straight up
With no chaser cause time don't wait up
Thats why we're sending cats back
To the lab "Worldwide"
The microphone's up for grabs
Thats why we're sending cats back
To the lab "Iriscience"
The microphone's up for grabs

Aiiyo you could probably find
Rakaa at De Rokerij
Puffin' AK, sippin cafe au lait
In Amsterdam chillin in the cafe all day
Bang my shit between classes
In your school hallways
You're fuckin' with expansion all-access
Hard journeys make you treat your
Mic like a cactus
Rap iconoclast that loves to sound flash
And sticky green grass with
Orange and brown hash
Take your tape up and take this on
I heard anything that does not
Kill will make strong and I build one of the
Sickest holding this still
You need a dose of eccinacea
With a little golden seal
If you boots turn up my two boots
Babu slice and dice your
Crew and produce hit's
Misunderstandings go back to the
Blues but ah-
There ain't nothing like hip hop music

Stories 'bout the angels of brotherly love
This is for the sisters and
Brothers we love "Come on"
We care enough to give it uncut, straight up
With no chaser cause time don't wait up
Thats why we're sending cats back
To the lab "Worldwide"
The microphone's up for grabs
Thats why we're sending cats back
To the lab "Black Thought"
The microphone's up for grabs

Live everyday like it's your last
Cause one day?you'd fight?, my nigga
Fuck around son it might
Be tonight cause figure
The likeliness of you surviving
This brawl is slim
It's like scuba diving with no oxygen
Monster when I situate my slang
Leave a nigga almost brainless once and bang
Had a crowd screamin bout how
They don't want your thang
Keep it the sharpest one in
The game it's no secret
My style is certified, Philly-Animal rough
Runnin' things
Pull more strings than gamble and huff
Cannibal hustlers taught me how
To handle myself hit man for hire pull a hot
Pick from shelf and spark
The pioneer to represent illadelph is Thought
I got these weak niggas
Pullin theyselves apart
Y'all know the tone the one
That hold the throne
That radiate your dome like
A Motorola phone niggaechoes dilatedechoes

"From the angels of cali
To illadelph crack build" "Hard Hitters"
