E-V-I-L E and Ice-T are on a jack move Layin down the dope groove, smokin those who disapprove Wreckin the deck, you'll regret if you cross punk Rollin like a Mack truck, waxin those who talk junk Violent your end, I got your face in my crosshairs Wanna see your dome bust sucker cause I don't care Nuttin bout you, your crew, because you talk shit I'm the Lethal Weapon boy, ridin the apocalypse If you're in my way, then lay beneath the ground soon Violence is my business fool, the microphone of doom Mission that's to cure all punks as I bust caps Peelin your back, my ammunition hollow-point raps You try to run, that makes it even more fun I just cold lamp and vamp you with the shotgun Cops try to flex.. but guns they'll never find.. My Lethal Weapon's my mind! A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. An assassinator, if the people ain't steppin A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. An assassinator You hit the deck, as rap busts from my lips You think I'm finished - I load another clip Look in my face, I crack an evil grin Lyrics bring death from the microphone Mac-10 Sucker MC's, you ain't down with the Syndicate Try to kick game, but end up talkin weak shit, yo You're weak, you're wack, you need to quit you lil punk bitch Go and freak your mother, go dig a damn ditch Get out my face, I'm tired of the press too You write about me, I write about you You think I'm violent, but listen and you will find.. My Lethal Weapon's my mind! A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. An assassinator, if the people ain't steppin A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. An assassinator Up against the wall - it's Valentine's Day The Massacre's about due for a replay I'm about to explode - like a hand grenade Evil E do damage on the crossfade Cuts like a battleaxe You try to bite, get iced, my raps are boobytraps Claim of mine, designed by the Ice himself You beg for mercy as you read the hand you're dealt Ah ahh ahh AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Cause there's no let up, you walked into a set up It's suckin you down and now you can't get up Why because you froze the moment we met up And I never run punk, I go head up I ain't no fool and new jack poppin fake rap I rap from the heart and soul, where only facts are kept Many rappers sell-out pop and other MC's slept I ain't in no playin mood, so nigga watch your step Cause if you cross the boss, you go to bed quick Know my situation boy, don't diss the Syndicate cause when we chose to move, you're gone and no remains they'll find.. My Lethal Weapon's my mind! A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. An assassinator, if the people ain't steppin A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. An assassinator More bodies than John Gotti, the Lethal Weapon is slaying Just open any book, that's ammo to the brain What really matters, is how well is your weapon trained Some would say genius, while others would say insane The Weapon power has been witnessed upon my page From Martin Luther's "dream", to Hitler's psycho rage What's more powerful - the brain or a twelve gauge? The words I speak have scared many people to this stage But promote violence, I really have to disagree It's entertainment, like "Terminator" on TV But some'll never see, you're stupid ignorant and blind The Lethal Weapon's the mind! A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. An assassinator, if the people ain't steppin A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. A lethal weapon.. An assassinator The mind.. Think! The mind.. YouknowhatI'msayin? I got my jammy with me at all times, youknowhatI'msayin? They can't take this one thing away from me that's got more power, than any gun in the world, youknowhatI'msayin? I'm talkin bout brain power homeboy They can't mess with me cause I'm too smart for them out there youknowhatI'msayin? Fully strapped, always packed Go to the library and get some more ammo, youknowhatI'msayin?
