Lyrics

Gutter Tactics

Chorus:

Gutter tactics backed with mathematics

Acts to cause havoc

Words weave with static

Streets tattered

Preachers turned addicts

Knowledge subtracted

Equation is Tragic

(2x)

1. I've had it with these half-assed kids, they ain't ready son

They talk all that shit, they already done

You ask who I is? One in a million

Intellect bred on Bricks that your feet is on

Bet your breath that your text bounce off chest like teflon

That's my word god!

Misspeak, catch a left from this southpaw

Bleed histories of Mayan Kings and outlaws

Out-thought master strategists with quicker wit

Go toe-to-toe with the illest pugilist

Chose to rip microphones

Deliver iller diatribe

I'd dissect KRS to ensure we survive

Times desperate, culture infested

Can't rock original style with a template

Memories cemented of where I first felt this

Soul set to rest on C-ment

Seen as deviant

Designed as militant

Blinded by my sun only see our silhouette

Attack on all fronts

Chorus:

Gutter tactics backed with mathematics

Acts to cause havoc

Words weave with static

Streets tattered

Preachers turned addicts

Knowledge subtracted

Equation is Tragic

(2x)

2. I've had it with these half-assed kids, Only concerned with material

Inferior insight, rhymes superficial

Serial mental produce paragraphs for instrumentals

Now isn't that simple?

Lyrics aimed at temple

Now who do I resemble?

At window holding rifle...

Attempts to stifle

Thwarted with assorted left and right fists

Only know to resist, as these situations shift

Politicians lose grip on the multitudes and masses

Explanations get graphic

Ghastly acts occur regular

They feed off the jugular

Jungle warfare turned urban combat

Conversations tapped, operations turned black

Too late to turn back

Survival is how well we adapt to change in habitat

The intelligence they lack

Are the concepts we grasp

Pains of our past etched in man's fiber

Chorus:

Gutter tactics backed with mathematics

Acts to cause havoc

Words weave with static

Streets tattered

Preachers turned addicts

Knowledge subtracted

Equation is Tragic

(4x)
