BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY

[Intro: Ransom]

Yeah

And I could (I could)

And I would (I would)

Yeah

[Verse 1: Ransom]

Yes, I bring joy to the hearts of sinners

From start to finish, I shed my light on your dark agendas

But I'm so far from finished, you can't see the end is near when the darkness lingers (Nah)

My pops almost choked me to death (Damn)

But I was hardly injured (Ah)

I still feel it close to my chest (Feel it)

Now I'm a heartless drinker (Uh-huh)

I keep a chain froze on my neck (Why? What's that?)

That's for the harshest winters (Yes, sir)

I regret holdin' onto my past (I do)

The scars are triggered (Uh-huh)

Guess I had to catch my breath when it barely slipped through my father's fingers

Ha, now I gotta do it again for them, it's meant for them

Disgusted at every time that they mention 'em (Yeah)

The pendulum, it swings in my favor soon as the tension comes

Somebody lent you guns, I post up with twenty extended drums

Doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot

Huh, looks like you're not payin' attention, son (Nah)

I've done enough work on these streets to wait for my pension funds

And I could, and I would

[Verse 2: Method Man]

Yeah, let's go

They say revenge is the coldest dinner

Cold as December, my sister soldiers, the coldest winter

Who tote 'em into the 36 where there's no surrender? (Nah)

Don't know what king is, but know a genius, he the oldest member

If we're forgotten, the flow remembered, so we hardly hindered

By your agendas or any weapon that's formed against us

My soul in splendor beyond the solar, my soul is centered

Armed with Arm & Hammer to clean up rappers, I sold 'em cleansers

Ain't got no filters, this common sense, it ain't got no census

These words ain't meant to enlighten sentence for your first offenders

If words offend ya, I'm sendin' work that can work against ya

Now you're sendin' shots, we address the message, return to sender

Now it's my turn to end ya, turn the burner, get turned to cinders

My people tend to turn illegal to legal tender

Know when you win, to spread influence like influenza

If they cap, defend us, just use the vision, that's two Avengers

Who do you vent to? (Uh)

When no one cares who the true inventors

That new dimension can test my patience, I lose my temper

And I could, and I would

[Verse 3: Dave East]

(Only the finest)

Timeless quotes to live your life by, shit got me motivated

Tattoo my lyrics from my album just 'cause the bro related (Respect)

Niggas hate, I still got my presence, they call me overrated (I'm still here)

Cut my 'Gram off for the whole vacation, got no frustration (None)

Anita Baker on repeat or it's Evelyn King (Champagne)

Like how they fit you for the crown and you never was king?

Never was Jason, never was Freddy, shit, never was Scream (Never Scream)

I know what you did last summer, you never was seen (Where you was at?)

Bahamas get my head right

My demons tell me beat you with this lead pipe (Beat you)

Won't stop, I see a stop sign or a red light

T.D. Jakes or Chevy, don't move heavy, keep your bread right (Uh)

'96 Impala or a Chevy, shit the feds like (I know)

Wheat bread is healthier, growin' up, liked my bread white (White)

Credit card burnin' my pocket soon as they said swipe (Swipe)

Introverted, I get annoyed over shit that you said twice (I heard you)

It's sad niggas wait for you to die to say you dead nice

You nice dead, that's backwards

Let's take it back to the bike pegs

The way that mama scrambled 'em

No way you didn't like eggs (No way)

And turkey bacon, givin' back to her 'cause I was her recreation

Oh, we cold, nervous, waitin' (Nervous)

God was teachin', learned from Satan (Ah)

[Outro]

You hear that calling?
