Michael Jackson brought you Thriller
It made all the gun man holler
Refugees with Bounty Killa
Mack 11 guard your gorilla
Why you gwan, watch out for Babylon
MC's babble on and on I phenom
Bomb like Ethiopians, not Italians
Queen Asheba, balance like a Libra
Rain like meteor storms
That change forms like the pillars of Islam
Make the best rule and fuck the rest whole
It takes one drop of purity to clean the chess pool
The next crew, will be comprised of kings and queens
Wearing crowns and holiday scepters, facing Mecca, making records
Raiding biblical techas, I sip nectars with the Gods in the street apparel
Keep the path straight and narrow while we bombin' on Pharaoh
So Bounty Killer pour the sorrel let's make plans for tomorrow
'Cause if it's down a Sodom and Gomorrah Refugees we nah go so
Michael Jackson brought you Thriller
It made all the gun man holler
Refugees with Bounty Killa
Mack 11 guard your gorilla
So talk well if you vex, try and jump in a mi chest
You Mr. Punk, we"ll come and do your next best
Mi end you distress, mi lay you to rest
Askel 45, Fugees dem tech
Well, talk well if you vex, try and jump in a mi chest
You Mr. Punk, we"ll come and do your next best
Mi end you distress, mi lay you to rest
Rappers from the east and rappers from the west, well
Yo, five years old I heard shots out the window
I thought that it was Zorro, driving in from Mexico
I asked my father Pablo, "Who the hell is this Paco?"
He said, "It's Bounty Killer, he's driving in from Montego"
That's when shots start to echo from yeah so and from deh so
Well, that is the life of a nigger from the ghetto
Moving 40 kilo, from here to Puerto Rico
Smoke my manifico, but I never do perico
Yo, this is a sound clash, you ain't fit for the job
You're vagina and you're making my cock hard
You wanna rap, here's presents, go wrap it in a box
You versus me that's like a mouse versus a ox
Wyclef, preacher's son, I sing a hymn the lights get dim
Reflection of the end is your face facing a coffin
Oops, to abstract so you kill me with gaps, figments of your imagination
You never dealt with incarceration
Thought I heard you want to be my rival
Askel 45 a it a idol, them start war and no seek survival
Refugees we gonna treat them detrimental
Punks, fools
Another sound boy dies, slow death
Refugee Camp, Bounty Killer
Michael Jackson brought you Thriller
It made all the gun man holler
Refugees with Bounty Killa
Mack 11 guard your gorilla
Through the temples of doom
Somehow we managed to bloom like blossoms
"By any means necessary" said Malcolm
Nights before battle we play dead like possums
Minimizing our losses like caution to the maximum
Stratagies for the Refugees, how many mics do you trip
I say not to many yo, which man runs from my magnum
Haitian shot a man, they blame Jamaicans
Michael Jackson brought you Thriller
It made all the gun man holler
Refugees with Bounty Killa
Mack 11 guard your gorilla
Well, talk well if you vex, try and jump in a mi chest
You Mr. Punk, we'll come and do your next best
Mi end you distress, mi lay you to rest
Askel 45, New York gun take, we'll talk if you vex
Try and jump in a mi chest, so Mr. Punk
We'll come and do your next best
Mi end you distress, mi lay you to rest
Askel 45, California take, well, well
Bounty Killer on the borderline
Refugee camp, Wyclef, L. Boogie
Prazwell and it don't stop
