featuring Brother J and Sluggy Ranks 

[Sluggy Ranks] 
We don't want no weapons 
No weapons! 
Don't need no ammunition 
No ammunition! 
It's killing off the nation 

Guns and knives take people's lives 
It's true (for real) 
Whoa  it's true  ooh yay 
(x2) 
(Easy Mr. Sluggy) 

[Wise Intelligent] 

I'm 'bout to rob the robbers  kill the killers 
Flow stealers bear witness to the Thriller in Manila 
Sluggy the singer beside the teacher 
Brother J, Dark Sun Rider 
Sixty six thousand seven hundred five and a half miles per hour 
Submit while you circle the sun 
One ton, the weight of every jewel I drop inside you 
Got you wide, in a minute I'mma get you wider 
God is the highest form of living mind math and matter 
Negroes, complete the data 
Your nation's lacking, you're at the bottom of the living line 
Why? Cause Whitey screwed your simple mind 
You was a God now you're the sucker of the planet Earth 
And crowned your woman slut of the universe 
Pimping, leaning, fiending, scheming 
Trying to be the cooleest nigga for some frozen other reason 
That spit, it ain't slick on any known planet 
Except for Pluto I believe 
Three billion six hundred and eighty million miles away from something 
That's why you ain't saying nothing 
Heads is fronting, forty ounce and Phillies blunting 
Destructing before your sleepy eyes (ooh-yay) 
Teacher Wise will have you all recognize 
In minutes less than five niggas ain't 'bout this 
It seems as if hip hop's become a species in danger 
Since rappers turned gangsta 

[Sluggy Ranks] 

Guns and knives take people's lives 
It's true 
Whoa, it's true, ooh-yay ee 
(x2) 
(Yes it's true, come come come) 

[Brother J] 

Now Vibal Magus in the house I've come to address the drama 
And season up and serve couch potato Godfathers 
Overdose on movies, come up living like a script 
Form an overnight mob getting paid to talk shit 
Niggas please, my nickname is Mr. Freeze 
I ice steel at lockdown and bring master keys 
I'm chain ganging these crews, long lines of emcees 
Come off the final plank, slave ships of wannabes 
I journey to your roots as I burn them Zoot Suits 
Revive the nigga genes revoked while playing cute 
I execute studio gangsters up on the scene 
Strong tug to mic cord, submits my guillotine 
To eat 'em up and split 'em, 'nuff heads is rolling down 
Degrading gangsta lean, black hole is going down 
You're mudbone, and I stand with ranges shown 
Thought you'd build a house, soon find you're home alone 
With full black intangibility 
Translating my heat to unreachable degrees 
Of super burn as my crew holds you in turn 
Lyric armageddon, when will you bunglers learn 
That superfly groupies, braid heads and dreads too 
Watch too much too gallant try to run it like the screw 
Create a revolution says the realm is upon you 
The righteous be the gods and the chosen be the few 
It's like that uh 

[Sluggy Ranks] 

You can't blow breath in the end 
So why you want to take someone's life 
It's not right, no it isn't wise, ooh yay ooh yay 
Gotta move the right way 
Don't let the devil lead you astray 
That is right, whoa that is right, ooh yay ooh yay 
Father send us some blessings 
To wash away our sins 
Stand up for the positive 
Ay, and I'll deal with negative 
Iy, we're killing them with conscious vibes 
Killing them with positive vibes 
It's nothing but conscious style ooh yay ooh yay 

Guns and knives take people's lives 
It's true 
Whoa, it's true, ooh-yay 
(x2)
