Joey Bada$$ - RING THE ALARM lyrics

I was born runnin' with the baton
Now I'm known as the young intellectual don
Until I'm gone, where I'm from
The real don't get along
With the fake, look me in the face
Eyes of the storm you don't want none
No beef could never hurt me
I be on my Istanbul, they cold turkey
Firstly, it's the double entendre monster
Takin' haunted constant trips
Through your conscious so be cautious
If it call for it, we leavin' corpses
The causes of the coffin
Is the broken clauses
Skeletons in my closet
Tomorrow's never promised
Never mind it because we immortals regardless
Real G's move in silence like my designer
Intertwined with the timeless
Divine higher powered
I was drippin' in the gold since a minor


Sittin' on my throne, overlookin'
My empire, uh, uh

Resurrection of real, you niggas fake
Never second-guessin' my kill
So choose your fate
'Cause I'm born runnin' with the baton
A tickin' time bomb
Nigga, better ring the alarm, uh
Resurrection of real, you niggas fake
Never second-guessin' my kill
So choose your fate
'Cause I'm born runnin' with the baton
A tickin' time bomb
Nigga, better ring the alarm, uh

So keep it spinnin', disc jocker
Flick the wrist, don't risk that, partner
These niggas impostors
We movin' like the mobsters
One false move, have 'em
Sleepin' with the lobsters, huh
So keep it spinnin', disc jocker
Flick the wrist, don't risk that, partner
These niggas impostors
We movin' like the mobsters
One false move, have 'em sleepin' with the

It's the ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$
Who you mad at? They ain't have to ask that
Attack with the backlash, where's my cash at?
Runnin' all through NASDAQ
Strap in my backpack
Goin' off the knack, dopeboy in the Cadilac
Havin' flashbacks
Wish a nigga would clap back
Hit 'em with the blackjack
Goin' through a stack fast
I snap with the raps
I make 'em bring the whole track back
Niggas get smacked with the realer
When I drop, it's all killer, no filler
So you better not make a wrong move, nigga
I'll personally deliver each shot
That won't miss ya
And when it hit ya, it's no warnin'
We bombardin', me and my squadron
If you want it, get your army
We droppin' bombs calmly this is no party
Any scraps left
We just feed 'em to the zombies

Death before dishonor, I die for my brethren
This is a stick-up, ocean's 47
Ring the alarm, if a war yuh wan get in
Ring the alarm, if a war yuh wan get in
Death before dishonor, I die for my brethren
This is a stick-up, ocean's 47
Ring the alarm, if a war yuh wan get in
Ring the alarm, if a war yuh wan get in

Ring the alarm, we ain't keepin' it calm
Need a reason to see the dog
Break the leash and I'm on
Was hungry when I started
More ravenous as I evolve
Caution hazardous, inflictin' damages
I can't recall, uh
Rich in spirit when I broke some laws
I'm breakin' even with my Pros
Against all the odds made my words cut deep
You gon' need some gauze
And that alcohol, we only goin' bar for bar
You know I blacked out, they
Bring the track out, i lay the smack down
Remember nights on the dirty mattress
In the trap house?
I snapped out and flipped it around
To where I'm at now
Livin' legend, finally back up on the map now
Resurrection of real, let's bring it back
It ain't even about the bars
They bumpin' whatever slaps now (Uh)
All I hear that ad-lib
Rappin' on my SoundCloud
Sick of the trash out, this is the crackdown
Likkle bwoy dun backchat we'll bury ya
Big metal ting, ya get capped in AmeriKKKa
Beast Coast regime (La Cosa Nostra)
My team supreme (Fuck around and smoke ya)
Death before dishonor, I die for my brethren
This is a stick-up, ocean's 47
Ring the alarm, if a war yuh wan get in
Ring the alarm, if a war yuh wan get in

Ring the alarm ring the alarm
Ring the alarm ring the alarm
