Ego Sonic War Drums

[Peace]

Our house is in the middle of the street

I'm a talkin' head, talkin' head

Splittin' speech, Hungry like A Wolf, Where's the Beef?

[Gift of Gab]

Beef eater gin, in-toxicant, men-tal

Alternate, end-ings, opposite trend Zen

Copperfield, pen bend, topple and kill end men

Send them, in wind, tremblin', off of them skills (skills, skills, skills...)

[Peace]

My copper top is poppin' tops (tops), the heat keeps flowin'

Energizer bunny, ain't it funny, how I stay so ever ready

But I never see the money (money, money, money...)

[Gift of Gab]

Money never makin' me

I make it, come inside and take a seat

It's vacant, Ego Sonic, inner space

The sacred sequel on again

Erase and cease the hatred season

Of the drums of war of sages past

Are speakin' through the ancients

Speakin' through the, speakin' through the ancients, speakin'

(speakin', speakin', speakin'...)

[Peace]

As a kid, I was Harry Potter-like

Not locked in a room but on the streets, they poked fun and took my bike

Until I chose to write, spec-tacular, vernacular, spells, for the fight

(fight, fight, fight...)

[Gift of Gab]

In the

Middle of the class

I was writin' my secret agenda

Getting' a bl-ast

From ignitin' my deepest surrender

A bit of chastisement

I may have gotten from teachers

When the

Classes were done

Masses were stunned, I pass it on

(I pass it on, I pass it on, I pass it on...)

[Peace]

I be flingin' stones at yo' dome and yo' Jet-son

And Elroy's El Dorado drivin' while the sun sets some

Back seat, fulla cotton candy, beer, and bubble gum

(bubble gum, bubble gum. bubble gum...)

[Gift of Gab]

Summertime in the city

Pity rappers fallin' to the Ego Sonic War Drums [*echoes*]

[Chorus 2X]

Ego Sonic War Drums, we so hard - RUN

Beatin' on yo' door come, try and get SOME

You'll get trampled, tryin' to sample, end up gettin' NONE

Ego Sonic War Drums, we so hard - RUN

[Gift of Gab]

Heeey ya, raise the bar to another level of rhymin' again

Maaa-jor daaays of, verbal assault tactics that get

Waaaay out, Blazin' the bow again to set new trends of flaa-va, Déj-ą vu

We blowin' 'em up wit' the way we slaaay-a

Saaay ya praaa-yeras

Set in the head of the rappers we SLAAY-a

YAAAY-A, HI-YA, HI-YA, HO!

Come on in-SIDE and try the flow

Creepin' up on yo' mind just like a SPID-A

KIND-A slow, SHINE and FLOOOW

Sparkle and rock until I can't SHINE NO MO', OHHH!

Low and beHOOOLD, FOOOE

Animal instinct comin' out of the SOOOUL

Chief Coyote, Blackfoot, Savage NavaHOOOOS

Scalpin' yo' top and rock out the spot, off the top knockin'

And then I frolic about the DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUGH

[Bridge]

Just because we out there, doesn't mean we don't care

Respect our clout, yeah, Gift of Gab dope, yeah

P-E-A-C-E, yeah, E-S-W-D, playa

Arrows flyin' everywhere, Ego Sonic warfare

[Peace]

Peace pipe, puffin', arrow stick you in yo' stuffin'

OH-WO-WO-WO-WO-WO-OW, think I'm bluffin'

Jumpin' off my horse and runnin' up on you ain't nothin

I don't have no rifle, I just throw my hatchet in yo' face

Catch it, get an eye FULL

Hear them drums? Battle sounds! See that land? Battle grounds!

See the men? Battle rounds! Hear me now, man down!

Bows UP, clear the section, roll out a winner

In my Ego Sonic head dress in

And for you dum-dum opponents, hope you learned yo' lesson

(learned yo' lesson, learned yo' lesson, learned yo lesson'...)

[Chorus]

Ego Sonic War Drums, we so hard - RUN

Beatin' on yo' door come, try and get SOME

You'll get trampled, tryin' to sample, end up gettin' NONE

Ego Sonic War Drums, we so hard - RUN

[Gift of Gab]

Chief Apache drummer, tipi dweller, eagle feather bearer

Chalice lighter, inner fire starter, worship Mother Nature

[Peace]

Mohawkin' egos clawin' beak seems to bear it all

Seminole, Blackfoot, Mohican, and Choctaw

[Gift of Gab]

Choppin' ya, scalpin' ya, offin' ya, moppin' ya, falcons are

Flockin' around you, wreck shop while I'm poppin' at Pocahontas

[Peace]

Death it won't fall upon us, as long as I'm Geronimo-an

Keepin' the heater flowin', you know they ain't into throwin' 'em

[Gift of Gab]

Burnin' the tip of the Arrow, the temperature's blarin'

Your endin' is near when we hit you wit' THIS, then you're perishin'

(perishin', perishin', perishin'...)

[Peace]

Cherish everyday light, light

Couldn't picture livin' life in the dark right, right, right?

[Gift of Gab]

Ear to the ground, I hear 'em comin'

Do you really think they comin'?

[Peace]

Ego sonic, hear that thumpin'

Do you really think they drummin'?

[Gift of Gab]

Do you really think they comin'?

[Peace]

I can see 'em!

[Gift of Gab]

HERE THEY COME!

[Gift of Gab and Peace]

If they catch us, they gon' kill us

Wouldn't want to be us, RUN! (RUN, RUN, RUN...)

[Chorus 2X]

Ego Sonic War Drums, we so hard - RUN

Beatin' on yo' door come, try and get SOME

You'll get trampled, tryin' to sample, end up gettin' NONE

Ego Sonic War Drums, we so hard - RUN
