Investigative Reports Lyrics

Investigative Reports lyrics

Intro/Outro: U-God

 

 [here we go, come on]

 [A, 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 Greenwood cemetary,

 as well as the Park Slope and Gowanas 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

 Gun slingers, dead ringers

 

 Verse One: Raekwon the Chef

 

 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 analyzing 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 Guayanese

 Word up, hold your head before you fall out

 The morgue route, the devil want that

 Let's get my niggaz locked all out

 Change for better, that be my only vendetta

 in life, feed your seed right, it'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, sleep all my life

 Word up!

 

 Chorus: U-God

 

 [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 building

 Save yo' children, investigative reports!

 

 Verse Two: GZA

 

 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-ins

 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 to spark it

 Rolling like Kaufman, and lay that ass out like carpet

 Stop the stuttering boy, save the planes for the five-oh

 Then praise the God - chk-a-chk POW!

 They be lick shots and premeditate to grab...

 ...and then they jet back to the lab

 And then remain in Shaolin

 An endangered island

 Shorties lose blood by the gallon

 

 Chorus

 

 [Have integrate a number of corrupt cops, judges...

 ...into high-level positions, to insure the continued

 success of the drug smuggling and money laundering operations]

 

 Verse Three: Ghost Face Killer

 

 Yo, I grab the pen for revenge and let loose, see

 Like Muslims, standing on the block, rocking a khufi

 The hundred-dollar kick rockin kid's back for more

 startin gold wars, with black Reeboks and Velours

 Jungle royal life, livin villain

 Packed with visions, copywritten

 Throwin bread to pigeons, Christ has risen, King Elegant

 Slang-Master jackets, expensive noodle hats

 In sixty-nine, old times was time that brothers shot craps

 The baggy blue Guess jeans, pull strings off of callin springs

 I'm locked in the thing, Rocky ring labelled rap king

 The corner emperor - the golden thieves play the benches

 Rednecks be hanging big niggaz 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-ahs, the bald headers, milk and Amarett-ahs

 Who fear none, question all personal vendettas, yo

 They use guns, while we angrily shot arrows

 You better keep your eye on the sparrow!
