[UTD, Ces , DCQ, Yasiin Bey - Front Line lyrics]
On urbain terrain I strive to maintain
Stress is strain with a whole heap of pain
A lotta fuckin games that I can't seem to win
I'm livin in the land of sin
I close my eyes and I count to 10'000
Shit is still fucked up
Down in public housing
Turn on the TV just to see my man on the news
No job, but he had a pair of $100 shoes
So I get my head ready cause
I know where I'm at
I got good sense and now I need a 1'000 gats
Cause times in America is all out of order
You gotta pay just to get good drinkin water
They goin bucknuts and I ain't tryina hear it
The end ain't near, it's here
I stay cool in the Babylon swelter
Bout to build a house with
A fuckin bomb shelter
Cause it's a lotta smilin faces out
Here and I don't trust em
Muthafuckas make a wrong move
And I'ma bust em
I'm sleepin on the floor with
My nines by the door
War ain't fair, it's war
Front line, muthafucka
You can never underestimate your enemy
You gotta realize there's people who wake up
6 AM in the morning to jog
Running for their life
Cause they underestimate
Shit in here is gettin kinda warm
Muthafuckas didn't know that I
Had this for em
I'm spittin buckshots and you
Could all get dropped
Muthafuck a vest, I'm takin all headshots
It's the great beat breaker, Brakalak jacker
Dominant genes, son, it gets no blacker
You're scared, bitch
As is with the style you lack
I'm havin reoccurin dreams of
Blowin out your back
So take that (gunshot) and that (gunshot)
And that (gunshot) and that (gunshot)
I'm as hard as it gets
You can't sit where I sat
Roll with a ill crew, pack a big god jewel
I ain't the bitch steady tryina
Get a new hairdo
(O oh) Look, you ain't gotta like it
Cause shit is real i'ma say how I feel
The truth must be revealed
Your eyes wide open and you still can't see
Steady smokin blunts talkin bout I'm free
Spend all of your time sleepin with the enemy
Doin dumb shit that you seen on TV
Can't get caught up in the hocus pocus
Times is so hopeless, I gotta keep focus
And I'ma do whatever it takes
Cause shit ain't easy, but that's the breaks
Times is too wild to smile
I'm ready, get it on, son, you know my style
Can't clown cause I'm down for mine
From now to '99, frontline, muthafucka
It's no room for fear
We givin these heads the respect and
The credit that they don't deserve
Youknowmsayin?
That's why they don't respect us
When we start to realize who we are
Then we can clearly see who they are
Originality is now a yummy soundbite
Everything sounds aight but trite
But it don't sound right
Treadin over urban terrain is a
Great source of pain
But it's the path that I chose
So I can't complain
If I get honory, pardon me, gems and gents
I'm on a mission in the
Very literal fuckin sense
If heads don't understand it's
Of no consequence
Cause not everyone is worthy
To hold my confidence
In a world so clandestine I stand frontline
Motion and mad explosion
The vision descension and massive tension
Stiflin congestion and no progression
I try to keep on lookin at the prize
But I'm steady wipin blood out my eyes
Mr charlie kill your pops
And rape your mother
Now we fuckin turn around
And shoot each other? Run for cover
Well that ain't a fuckin option
I'm comin through head first, I ain't stoppin
Suckers want beef cause I
Speak on these topics but don't sleep
I'm keepin heat like the tropics
A full clip and my hand on my dick
I'm like a muthafuckin elephant
I don't forget shit
From Medgar Evers down to Emmet Till
Black bodies swingin from trees
Outlining American hills
Talk all that racism shit if you want to
But white man, I don't trust you
And I will bust you
Even if you try to act trife
It's the M-o-s loced out for life
100 years ago you brought the rah rah
Now it's recycled in Kumbaya
And I ain't goin out like a punk
You say holier than thou
Well you can call it what you want
No slippin, I gotta stay aware
I'm too prepared to be steppin out scared
Brothers' eyes are watchin
Can't go out like a sucker
Mos Def is in another frontline muthafuckas
Victory is the only choice
There's no other alternative but victory
And the only way to be victorious
Is to understand your enemy
You have to understand that
They're fighting to survive
But we are fighting to live
They're fighting for something
Totally different the differences are great
And we have to realize that their time is up
And if they're desperate
A desperate enemy should not be hard-pressed
Because he has nothing to lose
And he will take you to hell with him
So you either to win or you fight to die
Fight to win or you fight to die
Stress is strain with a whole heap of pain
A lotta fuckin games that I can't seem to win
I'm livin in the land of sin
I close my eyes and I count to 10'000
Shit is still fucked up
