'Read Sun TSu The Art of War
every battle is won,
before it's ever faught
before it's ever faught
before it's ever faught
Think about it,
give me guys that are poor, smart and hungry
and no feelings'
Draped in ermine,
teaching rappers while I'm learning,
cos I keep my eyes on snakes, pigs and the vermin.
I keep my friends close, but I squeeze my ho's tighter
and I need a toke, son, yo pass me the lighter.
They wanna deal with tokes,
yeh they creaping again,
but I'll put the leak to your brain
if you weaken the chain.
I don't give a fuck if you speaking my name
but I'll fucking cut ya,
if you speak it in vein.
Am I the devious, or the snake, or the ladder
or the stairs, out the back, or the elevator,
coming back and back
and mine is on the stacker,
out of fucking order,
so I gotta wait, for the snakes,
to come back in order,
to separate the ones with the rungs
from the ones,
with the forks for the tongues
they out for your funds.
So keep ya wits about you
check the former and the latter,
use your grey matter,
ask any dead rapper about...
Snakes and ladders, you cud never tell
You never know what I'm gonna do next
Shit is like, snakes and ladders
I never fail,
I play the game like its russian roulet
shit is like Snakes and ladders,
you cud never tell
You never know where I'm gonna move next
Shit is like, snakes and ladders,
jump up a ladder, up to the side,
cos you can't decide
Rappers hanging from the noose knot,
whose hot, whose not,
whose got what, who's dudes got clocked.
Intricate, rhymes written in triplicate,
using finite words,
the combinations are infinite.
Even walking under a ladder could make your luck badder
so I had ta, bun the, splif and wonder,
how I keep from going under,
in the jungle, my own mutherfucking uncle
L told me yo,
the mutherfuckin'
snakes got the phones in my house tapped
praying that I fall for the mouse trap,
I doubt that, but when the crowds clap
I despise jealousy
but a friend of a friend could be my enemy.
He telling me, don't let them grab you
drag you back a square
You swear, you wont make the same mistakes
that got you there, yeh
know the rules, you could get schooled
or get fooled cos really,
there's only two types of people overall...
Snakes and ladders, you cud never tell
You never know what I'm gonna do next
Shit is like, snakes and ladders
I never fail,
I play the game like its russian roulet
shit is like Snakes and ladders
you cud never tell,
You never know where I'm gonna move next
Shit is like, snakes and ladders,
jump up a ladder, up to the side,
cos you can't decide
on a snake, watch out
there's fucking snakes out there
ladder, surrounded in smoke
snake, I don't give a fuck I don't know about you
or a ladder, you could never tell
snake, I don't give a fuck I don't know about you
ladder
Yo Smokee Tokess, light that inspiration
lightning striking like a python
