Lyrics
Hey yo! Let me be front This is real and not a stunt I'm comin' to the forefront Shovel for the rapper and clear the lane 'Cause this jam is like a Tomahawk chop Teach ya I'll never stop droppin' topics Vocal power? Yes I got it On central but their trying to clamp it down Flag was waving the wrong way so I shot it... Down! Get down, and at the same time... Come up... Down! This is a crime that shut us up I don't give a fuck 'Cause the words and the thoughts still hit And like I said It's not a skit Jump another hit Yeah Ya know I don't need a drum kit Make 'em say aw shit! The rebellion is true and legit Down! Get down!... And clear the lane Down! Get down!... And clear the lane Down! Get down!... And clear the land Down! Get down!... Yeah! The rebel You'll never disable Defiance With the cards upon the table Pulling cards Keep the governements in check Yo! I think we need a new deck Never could trust a phillabusta' The mic is like a fist and it'll bust ya With words cold hittin' with the underground And now you're checkin' out the new sound Live hit A live pop Live rock And ya don't stop It goes on and on and on Who's a threat? C'mon, the war is on! Down! Get down!... And clear the lane [Repeat x 4] Start droppin' Our words are never safe Fighting myself 'Til I'm where I gotta be I challenge, don't sweat it Now don't you forget it Check me? What? Wait You better slow down! Realize I can't confine my rhyme to a beat I need cash so when I'm cool I'm never ever weak Places are fluid and diluted and complete Check me once, calm down and take a seat Strip the chains the freedom's there but then it's gone! Ugh... Clear the lane [Repeat x 4] Defiance Rippin' up the south set Every time I'm grippin' the mic it is a sound threat Resist against the suckers that bring the bass in Timmy see Bring that bass in! Ugh... Clear the lane [Repeat x 4]
