Straight off the D.I.C.

Vast (talking; Vordul in [])

Yo, yo [what]

Def Jux, cipher unknown [this is hard right here]

Co-Flow what the deal? [this is Brooklyn right here]

This on fire right now [this is east, this is west] 3rd degree [what] (Vast Air Kramer)

Yo, I been nice but you rather put your hat in your sleeve

And break arms like

Segaul, don't wear your heart on your sleeve

There's two things in life; fact and belief

Yea, and you best to believe, it's a fact

I just rolled the leaf

Def Jux don't care about your culture or creed

Or the color you bleed, and it be

Ox versus aliens

All you see is martians piled up

That's jiggy ****; my b-boy chest rises up

You ain't a convict, you got caught jaywalking

And you don't know the alphabet, but you still talking

Well I got a blade too

And I know it's sharp enough to cut you

They call me starvin'

Harlem, scissor tongue,

I lick tissue

And pardon me, my lava just spit almost hit you

You know I got liver, spinning got a lot of it

We can call it in the air, this is for rain drop missiles

Heads or tails

The last cat who tried to see me, he now gotta touch braille

Everybody inherit the earth, why not?

We can sell it to the frail, and feed 'em fairy tales (Vordul)

Cannibal O-plus the-

X love to ***, microphones, the type of poems

We spit rips through scripts and strips ya bones

Yo we sick wit poems off the dome

I'm off the known, inhaling

Newports and eights

Cause New

York is sick, still we walk and spit

Straight off the ****

Wit these ****** please you freeze in the

NYC where everyone..

Live from the 1-3-5 representing ****** that strive

Straight through hard times trying to survive

Inside of

New York, the island of crime

Where the most violent of minds, walkin these blocks

Stay eyeing on mine, yo my brain sparks like sporting a glock

I might start firing live, straight off of the top

Cannibal Ox, inspiring minds, flipping on tracks

Spitting these live, animal raps

I'm strangling cats, sliding on my side of the map

Thinking he all, you aint got it like a mighty matter of fact

You small, claiming you large?

I'm pulling ya car, leavin ya scarred

Reppin tragedy, warfare, but nod yo, this god writes like

Travelled bars and dabbled stars and shine to

Rap Allah, yo we crack cigars that gettin' me stressed

Pulling on sets, stabbing these birds, loving the ***

Now I'm chillin in front of my rest

Smoking the rent, watching these cops, popping on blocks

Screaming y'all ****** aint nothing awake

We trying to gain freedom like a tribe in

Tibet Starving ****** had to still spit it live on the set

Live on the set

You know what

I'm sayin?

I dunno So *****

How you do it, we stay moving

Through the jungle, ghetto surviving, spittin lines off the

How you do it, we stay moving

Through the jungle, ghetto surviving, spittin lines off the

So how you do it,

Cannibal O-plus the-

X Love to ***, microphones, the type of poems

We spit rips through scripts and strips ya bones

Off the dome,

I'm off the known, inhaling

Newports and eights

Cause New

York is sick, but still we walk and spit

Straight off the ****
