Lyrics

Network

[Slimkid3]

Aiyo we got five minutes, man!

Yo, yo Brown. Sup, man, we got five minutes

Imani, let's go..Yo, Ro! Let's go..

[Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction]

Devastating rhyme creating, innovating

Got you anticipating the arrival of the Cyde

Don't you worry, hold it down just like Burry (?)

Well-seasoned like curry from India or Jamaica

Bring yuh gal to de show mi posse may tek her

Then cake her, how we're flipping thoughts skipping

Ready for the sabotage while the entourage

Take her somewhere remote, got her open like a cargo pod

Our lyrics blend like camouflage

You be wondering what's happened like Rog

[Imani/Citizen Strange]

Yeah, son zoom like the moon

You and your whole cartoon platoon

Gets eradicated, y'all barely made it

Listen to the words of the man, now I'm hella faded

Now I'm elevated, and now I'm here to state it

Your entire empire is tired, y'all need to retire

Like an old player cause your flavor is now expired!

[Slimkid3]

Come on, I rap wise and lyrically baptize, respect

Resurrect em like they're holy, holding blessed communion

Redesign laws of union in a revolution

Connect the eyes to energize cause evil lurks in lies

Steals your breath and then you die, no one heard you cry

Now he's off to the next man's urging eye

Our excursion eliminates those folks that's purging

Like virgin we be conquering, reconstruct with surgery

[Hook x2]

On tight beats we lurk, to drive you berserk

Leaving suckers shook, what a skirt

Companies perfected how to jerk

Crews come together, put some love back in it

Network, we network!

[Black Thought]

You tossed aside, talk/hustle is the way we survive

Cover your ears, your clothes, your eyes then look alive

The most high, draw swift out the holster

Rude boy ragamuffin, roots and culture

It gets deep, I scuba dive beneath the street

Then rise through concrete with new and improved beats

And kick emcees in they teeth with steel cleats

Extreme like war and peace but none the least

[Imani/Citizen Strange]

We retract it, then the bullshit got subtracted

Then you got attacked and attracted to this matter it's

Like a magnet, truly expression through touring

Two majestic rap bands exploring foreign lands

With the mic in hand I cold took command

You here to destroy, we here to build and plan

Hella faded from the trees we bought, beware

Cause you can get caught by the all-out

Verbal assault, Pharcyde and Black Thought

[Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction]

Pharcyde make mad hits, see ya man through

Some lab test, grab vest while I commence

To execute with acute precision, cause collision

Got caught up in the head bobbing, neck jerking

And trying to get my polished shine networking

Merging, converging to split your melon

Have you screaming yelling, crew bail in

The complete steez, young cats look up to us

Like trapeze, they love the way we swing it

It's the Roots inside guaranteed to bring it to these nits

Got individuals expecting residuals for the mic

[Hook]

[Black Thought]

Yo, my network spit shit making your neck hurt

You're now in tune to the sounds of the expert

A hundred flave-ahs of this widespread chaos

About to blow like the sextet of Miles Dave-ahs

Thought from the Illafive on the Phar-cidic

The blizzard isotona rap style, y'all can fit it

The head farmer, crush/kill the bad karma

Full body armor sounds, emcees can never hit it

[Slimkid3]

Venom when I spit it, backdraft when we lit it

Blow like chemical contents, I exercise this convent

Who done this cause we did this, booked and fingerprinted

Unlimited turn, early bird catches the worm

My penicillin heals, taking turns we trying to burn

Rub me down like lubriderm, we the cure and you're the germ

Embalm you with the fluid, make you do it like sherm

Keep you up until the end of the term

[Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction]

Niggas green with envy like they had gamma treatment

Find it hard to compete with, I'm on some steep shit

Climbing, you're on it like Carlich Hymen (?)

My skills I always polish it up till it's shining

Like a brother with a brand new Lex

Rhymes on it like sporting two tecs

With laser lights make the red dot

Bring it your face while you're blinking

[Imani/Citizen Strange]

White white hot, thermal

Burn your shit down like a towering inferno

Selecting and connecting them peckish grooves

To make you move, move you all like you fall

Verbal graffiti when we spray words on the mic like aerosol

[Hook x3]
