Gang Starr – 1/2 & 1/2 lyrics
Here comes the revolutionist executionist
Flip a triple six into three nines 'cause a crucifix
Each man holdin' no man foldin'
Coast is clear and Premier's in the green tank rollin'

Prepare, get on your post and stand clear
They wantin' to shut us down but the home team's here
What? You act like you're sweet or something
This ain't no Desert Storm bullshit war we all dumpin'

Codename, Jamel wit non-strap
Wit six clips of Teflon, suited in camouflaged
Got Kevlar helmets wit masses
Wearin' mob gear in 'cause they try to infumigate us wit gases

Mission, to seek and destroy
We were sent to get rid of you, make the situation critical
First Family will gradually, lift that ass up like gravity
And turn your body frame into a cavity

N F O, that's No Fair Ones
Watch me nine Milly turn into a flare gun
Sparkin' wit the same marksman known for gunnin' and runnin' and bombin'
Wit the lyrics squeeze of my gun barkin', ya heard

You know my family style
I'm goin' out wit my gun in my hand like Big Mal
I ain't got nuttin' to lose
So move on me if there's something to prove, fool this is war

There's a war goin' on outside no man is safe from
So what you gonna do since you know now
There's a war goin' on outside
It's impossible to stop

This world's a twisted maze, but I got the swiftest blades
My swords they can slice and dice precise ways
Those who come against me, can get blazed, sprayed and laid
No trace, just a glimpse of my face, hittin' the shade

You look up, there's a full moon in the sky
And all my would-be enemies, yeah they're soon to die
Livin' in this war zone, we frequent fly at home
Many of us grow violent prone, ain't tryin' to be dyin' alone

So I'ma take the competition wit me, Lord forgive me
But a whole bunch, of blood-suckin' punks, is out to get me
In a flash of a moment, I slash vital components
Tryin' to scheme on me and my team bitch, you know we own this

We can scrap, wit guns, knives, chains and bats
Whatever baby, erase that ass quick fast off the map
Plus they better bring, medical attention after I swing my weapon
Won't be no recovery, no divine intervention

No prevention
From gettin' hung in the streets where I'm from
'Nuff blood shed
This war's just begun

There's a war goin' on outside no man is safe from
So what you gonna do since you know now
There's a war goin' on outside
It's impossible to stop

There's a war goin' on outside no man is safe from
So what you gonna do since you know now
There's a war goin' on outside
It's impossible to stop

How many predators out there that want me
That's how I stand off, now
I come to diminish every one of you blood suckers
Hands off, lay 'em down now

All culprits, be alarmed
First Officer Danze reportin' for 'Nam
When I'm bringin' the storm, I'm all in
Yes I done stepped in the chest of many men

Then again, it's a part of my persona like puff stumps and marijuana
Iiaah, soutch 'em out, fire
From all angles, that's how we was trained
Either slay or be slain, it's in the game for my soul

To be as cold as the blood in my vein
Knowin' my name, help niggas perform abnorm
First Family, let's get it on
Just keep in mind I'm a marksman, I'm sensitive about that there

So you better watch what you say to me, hear?
Play wit 'em fierce, know where to run
So I post and defend, forgive me Father I may sin
And thou shall remember the code of the street

Hold heat, roll deep
Don't sleep or you'll be murdered
Since I've arrived I learned how to survive on this earth
Holdin' down this turf, now I declare war

There's a war goin' on outside no man is safe from
It's impossible to stop
(Yeah)
There's a war goin' on outside
It's impossible to stop
No man is safe
There's a war goin' on outside
