Yeah, get the mics up loud, the lights down real low
Uh-huh, yeah, uhh
Yeah, yeah, Illadel' yeah, it's Blackout

Big Ran still holdin the spot down
It's Woodstock hot now, got it on lockdown
Like a penitentiary you riskin injury tryin to get with me
From independents, to the industry
Verbally I'm homicidal, man I got the title
Hip-Hop is vital, trust me dawg, {?} arrival
Stop the idle chatter, midnight maneuverin
What can they do to him? Beats by Peruvian
Keeps cops pursuin him, streets tried to do me in
He got it smoother than most dudes
Most known for vocals straight from the old school
Persevere through it all, see my peers were involved
Got my ears to the block, give 'em that dopeness
The flow is ferocious, you know he is focused
Highly explosive, I spit nitro
Airtight flow, we gon' turn the lights low and just

[Chorus]
When the lights go off and the music comes on
You've been warned, Ran 'bout to perform
Now come along, we a thousand strong
Wavin your arms like that's my song
You dead wrong, we rippin this joint
We killin it calm, you feelin it huh?
The mighty R, now heed the call
Got your boy on the horn like that's my song
[Random]
Make me wanna black out, act out
I wanna strangle the game until it tap out
You half pint rappers wanna be a half ounce
Call me follow first in last out
Slayed about a thousand mics at last count
And ain't nobody like me cuz
I'm just tryin to make hip-hop like it was
Before these emcees started actin like they thugs, man
Keep keepin your vest on
The Vectron, keep beatin your chest on
You just pawn, got a swag like LeBron
James my veins reinforced with teflon
Yeah, and it's {?} head checks
It's Big Ran, flow tighter than Spandex
I get grand, now watch how excited your man get
Problem with me? Nah, you out of your league dawg

[Chorus]
When the lights go off and the music comes on
You've been warned, Ran 'bout to perform
Now come along, we a thousand strong
Wavin your arms like that's my song
You dead wrong, we rippin this joint
We killin it calm, you feelin it huh?
The mighty R, now heed the call
Got your girl on the phone like that's my song
[Random]
Cause I'm the most consistant
I, hit for average and go for distance
Y'all, makin cabbage with no convictions
Tryin to do your best Hov' rendition (yeah whassup baby?)
I can't let you hold my spot
When I heard nuttin hot since Rapademics dropped
And I don't care who signed you or who behind you
You gon' flop if your rhymes ain't hot (ain't hot)
The game it ain't over, it just begun
I got love for {?} but I trust in none
Who gets squad? Let's ride better bust your guns
A dirty job but it must be done; y'all ain't ready for
King of the metaphors, ancient set of law
Livin y'all, never bow down 'til I'm never poor
I'm tellin y'all, playin rappin life to the core
Set it off leave a brother needin smellin salts
Recognize, stop what your doin
And respect the man with the mic in his posession
Hold y'all applause and bars at all
With the close bars that bring there, recession keep 'em guessin
C'mon

[Chorus]
When the lights go off and the music comes on
You've been warned, Ran 'bout to perform
Now come along, we a thousand strong
Wavin your arms like that's my song
You dead wrong, we rippin this joint
We killin it calm, you feelin it huh?
The mighty R, now heed the call
With the ringtone, that's my song!
