[Intro: Sway Calloway and (Heather B)]
These dudes are undeniable. (Right) I’ve known ‘em for years. Some of the original HYENAS!

[Verse 1: Demetrius]
I grew up shit outta luck
I taught myself just how to fuck, and just how the fuck to get by
I pray that my father get hit by a bus, but just my luck
He probably just get hit by a truck, a semi
I give my fucks to none of these n***as
I’m from the streets where each policeman is a wannabe Hitler
Reading the bible like I don’t believe none of these scriptures
The belly of the beast couldn’t even stomach me n***a (listen)
I’m mad that I had to eat out of the trash
Now that’ve transformed a child into an animal fast
I had to shit out of a bag and live out of abandoned establishments
Now that’s just when I channel my madness and sadness
Into battlerap to paddle your ass, as a matter of fact
I got insurmountable passion, now I’m a mechanical dragon
I’m count Dracula dragging your ass back to the castle to cancel your ass
I’m a demi-god, sick of the sinning within a synagogue
With a strap that’s black as the skin of god
This cop-killer is finna start a copper-genocide
‘til I ran the country like Ahmadinejad

[Chorus: Demetrius]
When my crew come out to play, get the fuck up out the way
Hyenas, we are the hyenas, the hyenas
A fucked up life made me this way, I’ve seen my prey they need to pray
Hyenas, we are the hyenas, the hyenas
[Verse 2: Dice]
Buried under the poverty line
If I told you my life story, you would of thought I was lyin’
All I thought of was crime and thoughts of robbing you blind
I thought about killing my step father when I was just nine
I let the beat breathe, but I refuse to let police breathe
Peace is out of my reach, that’s why I’m beastly
I’m from the east side of the beach, I keep it east-y
We snatch purses and rob n***as for food stamps
Waiting for Dr. Dre and Snoop to give us a new stamp
It never happened, we kept rapping, the shoe camp
Waiting to diss any rapper, n***a we too amped
Listen, you rather drop your religion
Than to bother this fatherless n***a, this poverty strick
My pot to piss in was missin’, I’m on a robbery mission
If I wasn’t rhyming my n***a, then I’d probably be cripping

[Chorus: Demetrius]
When my crew come out to play, get the fuck up out the way
Hyenas, we are the hyenas, the hyenas
A fucked up life made me this way, I’ve seen my prey they need to pray
Hyenas, we are the hyenas, the hyenas

[Verse 3: Kenny]
I was young, roaming the corners that was real deadly
Strolled into the store and seen your dude exposing the steel
Quoting, He’d kill for scrill, holding it real steady
I pieced out, pissed off for wanting my lil’ Debbie
Seen in adolescence, laid out cold in a field from shots
While his soul and his chills left him
I’m Andy Warhol paintin’ a canvas
Taking a dab and blaze it to escape from the madness
Me and gram go together like Lakers and Brandon
Get high and drop something fly like planes when they landing, dammit
They listenin’ so I’m taking advantage
Treat my attacks like worlds outta space I’m a planet
I be bustin’ without taking a transit
Spanking these rappers to put ‘em to rest
Like the day of the Sabbath, dangerous savage!
[Chorus: Demetrius]
When my crew come out to play, get the fuck up out the way
Hyenas, we are the hyenas, the hyenas
A fucked up life made me this way, I’ve seen my prey they need to pray
Hyenas, we are the hyenas, the hyenas

[Verse 4: Julius]
This is an album of four brothers, poor brothers
Who swore to swing our swords in war
You fuck with one fourth of us, fuck with the four of us
Not the four horsemen, our full forces form a full horse fucka!
I sip on my liquor, Kenny took a hit of the sticky
I figure a n***a will get tipsy off my tripping elixir
I got an irrational rash, meaning I’m itchin’ to trip on you n***as (Sheesh)
I slept in grey hound bus stations
In the same town kids get hit with a stray round
Tre pound bust faces, playground wasn’t safe
At home my innate prowess for rapping, I’m rabbit in 8 mile such greatness
You n***as probably shook
I studied the book of Pac, you carry a pocket book
Fucking broad, I’m fucking raw like bare cock-to-puss
Growing up hard gave me triple the heart, I’m an octopus

[Chorus: Demetrius]
When my crew come out to play, get the fuck up out the way
Hyenas, we are the hyenas, the hyenas
A fucked up life made me this way, I’ve seen my prey they need to pray
Hyenas, we are the hyenas, the hyenas
