Self Defense

[Intro] This is self defense This ain't no threat man it's just a disclaimer This is self defense Ain't no tough guy talk We're just doing what we have to [Verse 1: Rakaa] I think ya better let it go You need attention? I send medical Basically you're trying to harm me, you're crazy Musically I'm blazin', Physically, I'm Gracie Triangle choke ya And what the fuck could have provoked ya? We don't know each other kid, and I did not insult ya Don't make me feed the fish, feed the trees, or feed the vultures I don't throw stones, I throw statues and sculptures I block flows with strikes and strikes with blows I slice flows with my mic at shows I counterattack and turn the tables in an instant Move out of range and step in to close distance Resistance, relax with less friction Leverage and technique bring chokes and submissions You got heart, you plan to make it happen But none of my family are chumps or never have been Respect mine, protect myself at all times Build twice next time before you cross the line I guess this is what you call a turn of events And the best offense is a good defense [Hook] Yo, you wanna hit us? We can hit back If you talk that talk, you got's to live that. (This is self defense) Whenever you front out, you gonna get back. (This is self defense) Self Defense, you wish you never did that. (This is self defense) [Hook] [Verse 2: Evidence] Yo, stay ready for the worst Paranoid, straight, smart Enemies hit ya where you think you're safe. (Self Defense) I cut my fingerprints with razor blades I'm in the cut, the kind you don't recognize with shades Tattoos, learn two tricks Only thing between me and the borders and the straight face Answers to questions, full eye contact This confrontation ain't physical, but still combat Leave ya'self left with options to choose The last line of defense of my crew, don't lose Psychic, precise, right and exact for songs Only time we've been wrong is when we thought we were wrong The science are format's own conclusive, but peace first and war, last These words are crucial Conflict resolved, but to those that want to brawl Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional Also, dropping the ball ain't recommended When life or death decisions are made within seconds Of course we make the right ones, strategically through Self defense, but not by myself, Babu [Hook]
