[Hook/Additional Vocals: Rock]

[Intro: Sample]
“One”

[Bridge: Steele]
There will always be non-believers, I’m sure
For some, it’ll only take one time
For others, it’ll take much more
Who knows what’s in store?

[Verse 1: Steele]
Before I lay my head down to rest, I hit the floor
And do fifty reps for the heads that left
See, equality does me justice
Calisthenics keep me fit to deal with tricks who can’t be trusted
I can never put up with them who front
And even though some I used to run with, they get done with
Don’t come with foreplay ‘cause we deal the raw way
Kill the “he say, she say.” Check what we say

[Verse 2: Tek]
I’m dwelling in the cellar with my n***as Heltah Skeltah
Loading up the clips with lyrics, punks run for shelter
Smif-N-Wessun’s on the loose with a noose for your neck
You let info slip out, so it’s dead you get
There’s the Black Moon, we creeping up in your room
Death fills the air along with the scent of (*Cough*)
Open your eyes, violators, and greet your fear
Off with the head of a snitch, and he’s outta here

[Hook: Rock] (x2)
One rhyme for the snitch dropping dime (One time!)
One rhyme for the heads doing time (One time!)
One rhyme for the crooks committing crime (One time!)
One rhyme, one time for your mind

[Bridge: Sample]
“One”

[Verse 3: Steele]
Sitting in
The pen with my back against the gate, watching these snakes
As I await this next bus heading upstate
New place, same faces from the last joint
Got my banger, so when danger come, I’ll be on-point
In the parallel cell, who mad? Duke just
Been had by two little shorties who do dirt fast
Juvies do be running wild in this vicinity
Keep an open eye ‘cause now I sleep with the enemy
Ready to thump with any chump with ideas
Nobody move, nobody gets blown from ears to rear

[Verse 4: Tek]
Loosies for sale, two dollars, nothing below
I’m back up in the joint, I’ve been remanded by my P.O
Now behind bars where scars come in pairs
Trooping with my blowers for the unknown that I face in here
Flipping on the rich-ass who got cash
And commissary ‘cause I ain’t going home ‘til Nevuary
Another rejection letter from the head of chief
Now that’s more beef, more weeks I won’t see the streets
Heads know what’s the word ‘cause the grill is blank
Once again, it’s on. Sucker-type, grab your shanks

[Hook: Rock]
One rhyme for the snitch dropping dime (One time!)
One rhyme for the heads doing time (One time!)
One rhyme for the crooks committing crime (One time!)
One rhyme, one time for your mind

[Verse 5: Steele]
Well, I was taught two wrongs don’t make a right, but me and
Rippa been real tight for a while, and everything’s aight
I got one in store for hardcore fanatics
Banging from basement to attic for static if you got dramatics
Who’s the next up for heads up? When my lead’s
Used up, I’ll get my baseball bat, and you’ll get bruised up

[Verse 6: Tek]
Word life, we build on universal mathematics
Don’t deal with the Babbage that tightens up the cabbage
We stalk around like the beast out for prey
Packing the ammo, pulling more juks by the day, taking
Loot with my crimeys, on the run from the coppers
Boot Camp’s on the map, and ain’t no way that you can stop us

[Verse 7: Steele]
Get out
My way! What?!? We coming through deep, and my fleet
Packs heat. Ain’t nothing sweet, we play for keeps. I got
Money on my mind and my hand on my nine
Gots to get mine ‘cause my life’s on the line. I
Roll with the Rippa, and the Rippa rolls with me
And my bred-dread D-to-the-O-G

[Verse 8: Tek]
See?
We be hitting up roots spots a lot
In the cypher, getting right with the hoods on the blocks
If you don’t know we, don’t even come in our circle
Mess around and get me vexed, and I’ma hurt you
Soldier boy, front line, one time
As we hit you with a rhyme to elevate your mind

[Hook: Rock] (x2)
One rhyme for the snitch dropping dime (One time!)
One rhyme for the heads doing time (One time!)
One rhyme for the crooks committing crime (One time!)
One rhyme, one time for your mind

[Outro: Sample]
“One”
