[Intro: Shaggy]
Yo!
The Marine Rapper wants to let the world to know
That he and his group of Military Musicians
Are here to destroy the competition
They're bringing the battlefield to the booth
Real veterans
Real music only
This is the World War Cypher
You get that? Shaggy!
[Verse 1: Ikan Dakai]
Ding-ding, I'm in the ring, no guarantee I'm gonna fight fair
Mike Tyson right here, drop bars, bite ears
Bwoy simma mi out ya hungry operating pon a light dinner
Looking for trouble, might go nether realm and fight shinnock
Marine Rapper tell me guh fi di chopper
Di chopper, mek dem bawl fi dem mamma and papa
Hold up, hold up, hold up, mi have a whole heap a thing fi mention
The way dem move mi nuh trust dem ya know, watch dem move mi nuh trust dem ya know?
The one you put yo faith in, set up the first girl wah date him
When a pussy diss and skull fi crush a me first orchestrate it
Now a death dem instigating, success got n***** hating
Instead a motivate, dem fantasize bout strangulating
Coordinating with the feds fi mi fail, end up in jail without bail
Now light it up the malatov cocktail
Suh now me watch dem through binoculars, watch dem from ma pinnacle
Monitor mi vernacular, measure dem wid mi caliper
Snakes, what type the rattler, chase you if you popular
Snakes what type the rattler, chase you if you popular
Snakes what type the rattler, dem chase you if you popular
But if tou fail, dem gone, dem on and off den on!
[Verse 2: King Moe]
I said, look
Bad yellow thang fatty poking out her Daisy dukes
Make me want to go and break her down like an eighth of glue
Visions of copping a hell cat, yeah, the Saber Tooth
Do it for soldiers in heaven whom wasn't able to
If my brother Gustin was here, he'd probably be faded too
If my brother Jamie was here, he'd probably be faded too
Kung-Fu grip on this weapon, sipping that 80 proof
Before you n***** make me a veggie, I'll eat a plate of soup
Vagrant teenager grandmama, look what they made me do
Swipe a zip from under they nose, that's why I'm late to school
Eyes devil red, but my clothes Carolina baby blue
Had the locker smelling like teen spirit in '92
Phone blinging as I dash through the night
I know it cost to be this raw, but may I ask you the price? Uh-huh
Raw sin is just the passion of Christ, baby
And darkness is just the absence of light, baby
[Verse 3: Dré Benjie]
Benjie, look
Where I'm from, it's either trap or it ain't trap
Look, but if it ain't trap, it's pro sports or rap
No disrespect, but you ain't real, it's best you stand back
This hardship I carry when I up it make a big splash
I'm not tryna be the best, but that's just what I do
I talk and notes fly in the air, they say I got the tunes
She look at me and see a diamond like it's a cartoon
Now my stock been going up from the beats that I'm strewn
These rappers cap and I got a passion for pleasing
So every pap I hit got unrequited love and then leave me
Got a message from the past me
He told me, watch out for the snake a keep the grass green, cut it every last week
They tried to plot, sent a thot, almost got me popped
I had to learn from BYG, gotta shelter my heart
I used to stress over women and what's done in the dark
But I flipped the switch, switched the script and got a better part
[Verse 4: BYG]
Look, I said
Feel my presence, the pressure risen this Hell’s Kitchen
Verbal addiction to contradicting what I was given
Masked sinning with liquor, m**** and bad women
Good intentions that fell short this hells court
The 2020 I’m visioning like a crash course
This the future? Then I don't know what to ask for
I’m just a 803 baby, baby forever that!
So Carolina, you pro'bly hear it in every rap
Not the north, a Southerner till they bury me
Doctor this music like respirators and IVs
Bet you guessing, no questioning, this is BYG
So keep your distance, I’ll be this way till I’m six feet
Never influenced by movements of what the cultures doing
If it ain’t congruent, with my dreams, I can’t get into it
Only time they down with you is if they feel you up
Can't pour into your dreams, but will surely sip the cup
We up!
[Verse 5: MSB]
Hundred bands just to crash in it
That’s how I’m feelin' when I’m passionate
'89 to the present, put the dash in it
I come fully loaded with the brass in it
I been gully since Gullah Gullah, I hit them they don’t recover
I spit it, but never stutter, this is my bread and butter
I’m off of that buddy buddy, I’m stickin to brother brother
I stick wit' who really with me, I’m talkin' since gutter gutter
Wifey been in the trenches, I guess I’m a lover lover
She need it? I got it covered, what else for my baby mother?
Let one of these n***** touch her, I’m on them like Danny Glover
Like quick with the lethal weapon, won’t ever see Mr. Jetson
Your future cut short for steppin', protecting my soul connection
But don’t get the wrong impression, yeah
'Cause I’m still chilly with it, militant so I Milly wit' it
Bad boy like I’m Biggie wit' it
Bad boy like I’m Will and I’m jiggy wit' it
No filter, but I’m pretty with it
I cut deep ain’t no pity with it, ain’t no joke, but I get silly with it
I ain’t got time to take it easy, I get busy with it
[Verse 6: NVY JONEZ LKR]
Look
You know my report, murderous intent when I hear a beat
Who keeping score? Forty-five or twenty two, depending on my mood to shoot
So I gotta be direct, all about respect
And those that I’m sworn to protect
See, you can’t guard me, game like Kazam in '93
Full of that blue Magic, shock 'em all like static
Spin outta control, you still might get a ring
Spins outta control, my publishing getting bling
Welcome to the jungle, never fear the rumble, we refuse to struggle
Double stacking all the bundles, we refuse to crumble
Tired of all these riffs raffs wit' they riff raff
Don’t know s*** about a good stance for that kick back
Hottest on any track, that’s my deadly sin, word to Escanor
Seven figure lifestyle, and we blessed for more
They say I’m too arrogant, I say you ignorant to my confidence
I know I’m it, or maybe just a wrinkle in time
But I’m still divine
[Verse 7: Factor 50]
Hi there, perfect timing, I'm violent when I get to rhyming
I'm that pasty mo********** who burns in the ultraviolet
Yeah, I'm Factor 50, acting shifty, like I'm in ya flat to occupy it
Independent soldier, the truth? I come to colonise it
'Cause I roll with the vets, posing a threat, socially inept from moments of death
Show some respect if we only just met, you don't want me like a hole in your head
When I loosen the grip, I shoot from the hips, I aim that spit and let loose with the lips
I'm brutal as s***, the truth of it is, you gotta see me, para-shooting and s***, ayy!
I rep these British terrains, in a set of different camos
Where all it does is just rain, when we go and stack them ammos
With the maroon Beret, and the pegasus running up the flagpole
Dropping these shells on the target, to stop the broken arrows
[Verse 8: Anna Oakley]
I'm T-H-E mother emcee
You can look, but you ain't gon' find nobody flyer than me
Ain't nobody higher than me, mama high? Yes, indeed
Nikki taught me went and got me a LLC
I ain't packed for 2020, dog, 'cause this shit been a trip
People getting sick and s***, the whole economy just flipped
The enemy is closing in, the opps are killing off our men
So here's your mission; pay attention: make the opposition listen
Tell 'em mama said knock you out!
Tell the Devil mama said to pop you in your lying-a** mouth
Better cut the s*** 'cause you can get something worth crying about
Brought you into this world, now I gotta take your ass out!
Caught my ex creeping on the counter
Mama not the one, I got the gun, I'm letting rounds off (Bang!)
Got so damn good at rappin' now, I guess I gotta sing
MC NPM, we gang, gang, gang, gang
A.O.
[Verse 9: D.Cure]
The lumberjack returns, chopping for better scenes
Now on paper asking if what I get is ever green
Told 'em I been unseen back when I met Marine
Freedom is an incoming call... let it ring
I got you, read you, but I’m hard to reach like Machu Picchu
Shocking, you better believe it, and yet to evolve, it’s like I’m Pichu
Finally they put him on the internet, well, gotta be true
You oughta know by the message inside of me like I’m R2-D2
Only hope, never gonna reach you, rhetoric been see through, let a veteran teach you
Three-headed beast, how we ever gonna meet you? Find out what it leads to, no carrot, all like beef stew
Oh, these few? Who unleashed you? Foul like Artemis
Pardon, miss, you want no part in this, am I that hard to miss?
The way I feel a beat, I’m wondering who’s heart is this?
Looking like a farmer, gotta be how we market this
And they expect more, but I don’t know what my target is
And I’m marvelous with the artfulness, support 'em for the shot like a harquebus
[Verse 10: The Marine Rapper]
[?]
Look at me, I am the captain now, I know what all of your raps about
Fictional, characters, y’all is embarrassing, everyone nothing but actors now
I was overseas with gats around, all my enemies I gave ‘em pound
‘Cause they won’t ever just gun me down, everybody hit the floor
Everyone back, The Rapping Marine, Shaggy the best that there is
Just how it be, Sting, no need to act, you punks are not next to my pen
I’m a grenade, ewe, call me the G.O.A.T., fire whenever I spit
Whenever I wrap it’s barbecue; taking out all of your kin
I’m that action figure, left my mommas and went cross planet
Shot cannons, bombs blasting, thought I’d never leave
There was no flower, for my momma seed, beat the reaper, I got Savage
Bred in battle, so glad to bag up all you non-rappers
I promised that on tour, I had the heat before I had a fan
Wasn’t shady, but my lady called me an Afghanistan
After Iraq, did it for my daughter, sending money back
No return, never had my mind in coming back
[Interlude: The Marine Rapper]
Never, never
No return, never had my mind in coming back
Never, never- veterans needing something
No return, Never had my mind in coming back
[Verse 11: The Marine Rapper]
Now that I think about it, I got nothing but scoffs
Nothing but doubters, they said rapping wouldn’t get me this far
Look at what happened: went from the battle to internet star
Known for the wrapping and a flag jacket, I bend about bars
Shhh! Ya'll talk about things that you never did, I talk about things I really live
Emcee and Marine I really is, explosion in Iraq, but I lived
Then I came back so I could tell you this, nobody taking what’s mine
I’m a time bomb, y’all tock, I’m really ticked, dynamite, y’all know, what time it is
Car bombs and the shots snapping, hate frauds with a true passion
Reason Marine’s here, I do this for my troops passing
Tracers let you have it, Drew guns, erase Hazards
Walked in the blew print, then came back to just to draft this
Battlefield of dreams, called the team, so we all collect
Used a dirty rode to pave the way for my combat vets
Who lack a place for living, need some comfort, ain’t in houses yet
We got some soldiers missing, need some justice, we ain’t found it yet
And there’s suicide taking lives of our servicemen
We need to pull up, push ups, ain’t gon' stop they deaths
Jim don’t gotta die, man, so I gotta get that off my chest
Dropping truth bombs cause these issues are our biggest threat
So I made this for all of my troops, veterans needing something
Military Musician the team, all of us help construct this
World War Cypher, bringing the heat, enemies self-destructing
Diddy made the band, and the Marine made the band of brothers
[Outro: The Marine Rapper]
And I didn't say "Like"
Aw, man- I just said "Like"
Samad cook it up, yer
