Royal Fam, IAM, Sunz of Man, Wu-Tang Clan
'Bout to take it to another chamber
From Medina to Marseille, Marseille, Marseille

Yo, IAM, Sunz Of Man from the Royal Fam
Never ate ham, never gave a damn
In the beginning there was darkness, then came light
I grab the mic to dis' your ass just for spite, what?
You can't fuck with the flows I bring
Watch the staff I swing (my man!)
It's Timbo King, astonishing, I'm dramatic to the ear
Television tells lies to your vision so, beware
Of the trick-nology sent forth to fool the mind
If you're dumb you're lost, if you're wise you will find that
Poison is a devil substance made for scratch'
'Cause one rotten apple destroys the whole batch
You scratch, I throw jabs to your jaws so quick
You get bashed in the head with a stone-face brick
We're thick like molasses, deeper than the earth's mantle
Royal takeover, stampede, trample
Those who force kids tell lies to the youth
I branch out, my roots run deep, here's proof, what?

At seventeen, I came to terms with it
I was a little jerk, a nervous wreck, prone to spasms, fights
And I would kick the table, everything would fly
Poisoned by negativity
So many failures, so many defeats
Forged the bite, to take the hits in my mentality
Broke, without a job, there's nothing worse
I owned nothing and wanted to build an empire
I persisted, said true things, was tracked
I insisted and the group IAM existed
For real, I was sincere, I write verses for my peers
And only they freak out behind
They didn't care for attention so I rolled for myself
Like gas, the untouchable phases of my phrases
I even changed my mind for the Saga
It's more I came back when you went, I returned

I'm blowing niggas out the frame
Now what's my motherfucking name (Dreddy Krueger)
I'm playing niggas like a boy game
You can't fuck with the drunk Dreddy Krueger, blaow-blaow!
Two slugs from my Ruger and I move ya
I write rhymes when I'm sober
Say it when I'm drunk
The Buddha Monk got the skunk, yo
I smoke niggas like Kryptonite blunts
Dog bitches like soup, fuck 'em on my stoop, then yo
I step the gates and troop to see my nigga
The GZA, who had my bulletproof (my bulletproof)
Vest for my chest to relieve some of my stress
And now I'm safe from my neck to my waist
But still I got to worry about a nigga catching me in the face
And beat the case, just 'cause he had papes
(Get it straight)

The road to the set goal is long and perilous
Often lined with taverns with bright signs
And it's hard to resist the invitation
To stay on the rail like a wagon
Like an arrow, shoot straight at the target
Ignoring gossip is the only possible solution
Time passes too quickly for me to pay
Any attention to it
I know that in fact everyone wants the same thing
But no one wants you to get it before the others
So, I roll for myself, son
Too bad for the others if slander is their favorite hobby
I came out of that harmful period where
You lounge around waiting for everything to be done
I move forward strong from my past experiences and I smile
Seeing those who rush to go
