============================
Nippin' Sippin' on the flask
Passin it talkin' shit but only if your ass
In front of me cause you could run from me but
In the end revenge sends you to the defendant
I can't get caught in the spiral, cause every bit of energy
It goes to my survival out my way
I'm a flicka flacka blotter
Ya try to find a weakness but the shit keeps getting harder

It was Independence Day
I've seen the other side and I say
I've been insane
And I won't ever be the same

Play Riff 1 over:
=================
Cuz we flow we must be fly
First to flow Nickel my brother so wise
And then I rise here's na ill kid pumpin' cuz he is so slick
Step's from darkness his body electric
A drone buzzes the air a cracklin' tone
Then boomin' like thunder in a cosmic jungle
Death defyin' like Knievel he weevil
Words that will wobble awkward and evil

Play Riff 2 over:
=================
Cuz he flow and rock the hardest of the crowds
A marvel pow how you like me now
I've returned the kiss of death the last Damien
>From the abyss fresh eternal alien
Now famished from pathless ways I ma, do damage
To the wack MC's I know you can't stand this
Right about now get down I'm the annhilator
Rockin' with the rhythm of my rhyme detonator
