Down By Law

[Hook: Pharoahe Monch, Clinton Sparks, DJ tags]

Yeah, yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah-yeah yeah yeah yeah (Woo)

Yah, yah

Yah yah yah, y-y-yah yah yah (Get familiar)

If you don't love real hip hop

This shit ain't for you

People come on now gather round

I'm down by law and by law I'm down

People come on now gather around

I'm down by law and by law I'm down

[Verse: 1 Pharoahe Monch]

It's like, I'ma have take wha'ts mines its seems

'Cause I'ma make it to the big time, big screens (Ugh)

Divine intervention, big rhymes, big dreams

Without fake images and quick, get-rich schemes

Here's a quote from a movie now—pic quick scene:

"What am—What am I, funny? Huh? Funny how? Huh? Like a fucking clown?" ("Huh? Huh?")

Like i'm here to amuse you whenever i'm around

Do the math: Who is our draft pick to kick a sick sixteen bars quick and get this cream?

You might end up on a milk carton, missing

Y'all ain't heard a n* from the streets this mean

Since Mike Tyson knocked out Mitch Green

[?] you couldn't [?]

Shit, get with this team:

Pharoahe, Megahertz mixes his shit clean

I'm gon spit this verse; he gon twist this green, liike

[Hook: Pharoahe Monch]

Yeah, yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah-yeah yeah yeah yeah (Woo, ugh)

Yah, yah (Come on)

Yah yah yah, y-y-yah yah yah (Oh, keep going)

People (Ah) come on now gather round

I'm down by law and by law I'm down

People come on now gather around

I'm down by law and by law I'm down

[Verse 2: Pharoahe Monch]

Even before I penetrated the egg, wanted to be in a band(?)

It's in my blood and quoted in DNA strands

It's from the heart like it's a part of being a man

It's outlandish when I touch the stage and do damage

Bananas with the crowd, lights, cameras

But treason the reason they be cheating they fans

Defeating they plans, after these bucks (Woo)

That shit'll burn your heart like acid reflux (Reflux)

But that's exactly what it's meant to do

When you're fronting on the left and right ventricle (Ugh)

Technically, it's not even economically sensible for you to fuck with a force unseen, invincible

Let words of the sensei center you (Huh)

'Cause I'ma answer life's toughest questions like a interview (Come on)

And school y'all motherfucking students like a principal

[Hook: Pharoahe Monch]

Yeah, yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah-yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yah, yah

Yah yah yah, y-y-yah yah yah

People come on now gather round

I'm down by law and by law I'm down

People come on now gather around

I'm down by law and by law I'm down

[Outro: Pharoahe Monch]

Now I don't know

What you been told

But the laws have changed

And we're bout to explode

So we gon change the game

We gon change the game

So we gon change the game

'Cause we're bout to explode
