Hardware

[Intro] (Yo yo yo yo yo) Do it right... (That's what I'm talkin 'bout) Pull out the hardware Let's do it right (Right) Aiyyo, do it right y'all Here we go, check it out – [Verse 1] Subzero, cold from the Krush intro The temperature alone shatter weatherproof window We move at adrenaline rush tempo And leave y'all rappers screamin' about Who stepped on toes and cut ya throat So what you can't fuck wit' though? You know it's me and that poetry to add injury to insult When Thought begin The what and the where The why and the when Will be explained Music ease the pain, seize the brain The flow's like sex in the rain Hit 'em like they hit the projects wit the crane Hit 'em like they hit the Black man wit the blame Hit the people like I'm bustin a gauge with good aim Tell 'em bang this dangerous masterpiece It's not a game to he, pulsate through each vein Stimulate the ghetto, that's the reason 'Riq came It feel so surreal, it's hard to keep sane Unplug me, seem like it's gon' get ugly I come to operate, just shine the spotlight on me Just make a little noise if the crowd love me The way I do it make these other rappers sound funny [Chorus] Pull out the hardware Let's do it right (That's what I'm talkin 'bout...) Pull out the hardware Let's do it right Do it right, y'all Yo, do it right, y'all [Verse 2] Yo, it's like wassup?! Everybody wanna get nice But everything come at a price It's like everybody got they own vice, mine: weed and the mic And women that I need in my life Some strung out on religion and believing in Christ Next man need the money, stay pullin' a heist While this other one a fiend, stay huffin' the pipe While this next one a fiend, stay fuckin' ya wife Try to give the youth advice, a guiding light Young bols in the street getting high tonight Young brothers upstate, hype, trying to fight Real bitter 'cause they niggas ain't fly 'em kite What I do is for them chain cigarette smoke heads wit' bad nerves Old men in the barbershop using bad words For people in the darkness, unseen and heard For Hip-Hop! Don't get the meaning slurred My flow's disturbed Presence is the most preferred I descend upon Japan in a Boeing bird Talk hustle, about 4 million served Still swerve, directing y'all, life spills, word, just – [Chorus] Pull out the hardware Let's do it right (Pull out the hardware – yo...) Pull out the hardware Let's do it right Do it right, y'all Yo, let's do it right, y'all [Verse 3] Aiyyo, when the Fifth come thru, it's like "Amazing Grace" Slow motion, like you hit some shit that may have been laced Standoff at the door when I step in the place It's like the law coming, tryna pepper spray in ya face If you a weak nigga, stay in ya place My name 'Riq, when I speak, thoughts travel at alarming rates Come on, stomp wit' The Roots I step into the vocal booth, armed to the tooth 'Cause the people want truth We all want clothing and food, and watered roots So I stand up say what I say in front of you Coming thru, feeling somethin' new, chill for a few I know you probably wanna keep it real for ya crew So pull out the hardware, do what you tryin' to do So I can grab the mic and do what I'm dying to do The turntablist Krush on the 1 and 2 And it ain't no need to tell you my name, you know 'Riq just– [Chorus] Pull out the hardware Let's do it right Pull out the hardware Let's do it right Do it right, y'all Aiyyo – do it right, y'all Pull out the hardware Let's do it right Pull out the hardware Let's do it right
