[GZA, U-God, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah - Investigative Reports lyrics]
"A battle-A battle was fought, in Brooklyn"
"Hessian Soldiers killed 3, 000 men
Much of the fighting took place in what is
Now Prospect Park in Green Wood Cemetery
As well as the Park
Slope and Gowanus neighborhoods"
"This was the first battle of America"
Rugged rhymsters, crooked crimesters
Dime droppers, Twenty-five-to-lifers
Backstabbers, low blowers
Illegal cocaine growers
Starvation, profanity
Anxiety, brothers tryin' me
Gunslingers, dead ringers
Yo! My slang's out of this world
Mix collaboration man
Little man and his girl
Way of life got me thinkin'
Plus I'm analyzin' young youths on roofs
You know
Three-time felony brutes roll together
Tropical trees puff, whatever
Yo, we could go run up on kids for leathers
What drug? Faculties bubble keys for G's
Cream flow like seven seas
Hit chicks Guyanese word up
Hold your head before you fall
Out the morgue route the devil want that
Let's get my niggas locked all out
Change for better, that be my only vendetta
When life feed your seed
Right, he's breathin' indeed, right
Chef, remarkable, sparkable raps
And tackable gats never get jacked
See ya then move, black
Paradise trife, plush with much ice
Gettin' nice, layin' back
Speak on my life word up!
"The battle of Brooklyn depicted
Was the bloodiest clash of the American
Revolution soldiers killed 3, 000 men
Much of the fighting took place
In what is now"
Crack patients, dime smokers
Vial carriers, mocha tokers
Burnt buildings, brothers buildin'
Save the children, investigative reports!
Callin' all cars, callin' all cars!
Ghetto psychos armed and dangerous
Leavin' mad scars
On those who are found bound, gagged and shot
When they blast the spot
Victims took off like astronauts
Get with this, even your best can't
Come on down, you're the next contestant!
Get your pockets dug from all
Your Chemical Bank ends
Caught him at the red light
On Putnam Avenue and Franklin
They used to heat up the cipher
With a shot that was hyper
Than your average JFK sniper
He just came home from Spofford
Rollin' like Kaufman
And laid that ass out like carpet
Stop the stutterin', boy
Save complaints for the five oh
Then praise the God chk-a-chk POW!
They release shots and premeditate to grab
And then they jet back to the lab
And then remain in Shaolin
An endangered island
Where shorties lose blood by the gallons
"Have integrated a number of corrupt cops
Judges into high level positions
To insure the continued
Success of the drug smuggling
And money laundering operations"
Crack patients, dime smokers
Vial carriers, mocha tokers
Burnt buildings, brothers buildin'
Save the children, investigative reports!
Yo, I grab the pen for revenge and let loose
See like Muslims standin' on the block
Rockin' a kufi
The hundred dollar kick rockin'
Kid's back for more
Startin' gun wars with black
Reeboks and Velours
Jungle way of life livin' villain
Packed with visions, copywritten
Throwin' bread to pigeons, Christ has risen
King Elegant, slang master
Jack expensive noodle hats in sixty-nine
Old timers time that brothers shot craps
The baggy blue Guess jeans
Pull strings off in Palm Springs
I'm locked in the bing
Rocky ring labelled rap king
The corner emperor
The golden thieves play the benches
Rednecks be hangin' big niggas
Down in Memphis back in Now-Y
Hit the bull's eye with loaded nines
Life is like Tarzan
Swingin' from a thin vine shatter dreams
Then mirrors don't need a press spirals
Aim at the white shadows with big barrels
Of Moet-ers
The bald headers milkin' Armarettas
Who fear none, crushin'
All personal vendettas, yo
They use guns while we angrily shot arrows
You better keep your eye on the sparrow
Rugged rhymsters, crooked crimesters
Dime droppers, twenty-five-to-lifers
Backstabbers, low blowers
Illegal cocaine growers
Starvation, profanity
Anxiety, brothers tryin' me
Gun slingers, dead ringers
Investigative reports investigative reports
Investigative reports
"Have integrated a number of corrupt cops
Judges and lawyers
Into high level positions
To insure the continued success
Of the drug smuggling and
Money laundering operations"
