This is self defense. x2
This ain't no threat man, ??? This is self defense Ain't no tough guy talk, we're just doing what we have to [Verse 1 - Iriscience] I think ya better let it go You need attention? I send medical Basically you're trying to harm me, you're crazy Musically, I'm blazin'. Physically, I'm gracy Triangle choke ya And what the fuck could have provoked ya? We don't know eachother kid, and I did not insult ya Don't make me feed the fish, feed the trees, or feed the vultures I don't know stones, I throw statues and sculptures I block flows with strikes and strikes with blows I slice flows with my mic (get showns)? I counterattack and turn the tables in an instant Move out of range and step into close distance Resistance, relax with less friction Leverage and technique bring jokes and submissions You got heart, you plan to make it happen But none of my family are chumps or never have been Respect mine, protect myself at all times Build twice next time before you cross the line I guess this is what you call a turn of events And the best offense is a good defense [Chorus] Yo, you wanna hit us? We can hit back If you talk that talk, you got's to live that. (This is self defense) Whenever you front out, you gonna get back. (This is self defense) Self Defense, you wish you never did that. (This is self defense) [Chorus] [Verse 2 - Evidence] Yo, stay ready for the worst Paranoid, straight, smart enemies hit ya where you think you're safe. (Self Defense) I cut my fingerprints with razor blades I'm in the cut, the kind you don't recognize with shades Tattoos, learn two tricks only thing between me and the borders and the straight face Answers to questions, four eye contact this confrontation ain't physical, but still combat Leave ya'self left with options to choose The last line of defense of my crew, (dope rules?) Psychic, precise, right and exact for songs Only time we've been wrong is when we thought we were wrong The science are format's own conclusive, but peace first and war, last. These words are crucial Conflict resolved, but to those that want to brawl: Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional Also, dropping the ball ain't reccommended when life or death decisions are made within seconds Of course we make the right ones, strategically through Self defense, but not by myself. Babu [Chorus] (Scratching 'Self defense is a must' by DJ Babu) |

[Harry Allen]
We're coming to you live from the Scottish Right Temple Near the intersection of Crenshaw and Wiltshire Where, as you can see in the background Military personnel are mobilized and waiting orders Despite the quiet and the deceptive calm, tension is still thick in the air after last night's concert and rebellion The incident was allegedly sparked by police officers trying to shut down a reportedly peaceful concert by hip hop artists Dilated People's We'll keep you updated with any new developments. For Triclops Media Watch, this is Harry Allen, hip hop activist and media assassin And now, Proper Propaganda.. [Begin Song] Watch it. Yes. [Indistinct shout-outs] [Verse 1] We handle it, these brothers are fabulous Dilated's showin you what rhyme travel is Words spitoon from sunlight to moon Bustin' on stage like gunfights in saloons Click-clack, pull my mic back, you like that? Journalists? We're journalists too, we could strike back Hardcore reporters with orders from headquarters Behind enemy lines, sidestepping the borders Repressed caps, we bring it to you as it happens The streets love my crew from music to rappin Street commander slash beat expander Here to fight the slander with the proper propaganda What's happenin'? You got a question? Then ask it The news is just a TV show, get past it And this, from a quiet wartime journalist Headlines, wake up, refuse and resist Resist, like this, like this Like thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-this, y'all [Chorus] We kick finance action, and scores of sports Politics, new fashion and war reports Entertainment, when we come to perform Watch, the illest weatherman in the biz with the storm watch Triclops Media, record, tape and TV, Net radio, CD or DVD Iriscience (write rhymes on picket signs) This is why Babu is scratching and keeping time [Scratching] [Verse 2] The pen is mightier than the sword Cause the pen gives the word sending swords to war They twisted it when he pulled Mao Tse-Tung And said political power comes from the barrel of a gun The officer meets his fate, .44 by .38 It was a dirty deed, but that don't mean a dirty case Witnesses against the state are shushed Facts overlooked so the judge can throw the book Perhaps for politicians with something to prove In the city where they blew the roof off of M.O.V.E. Yo, questions when answered leads to more questions Why it takes months to deliver a confession? The principles are the same even without the name But I still say M-U-M-I-A I have to fight, it could easily be me But just being the thinker than speakin it freely Although I use my brain before using a fist Don't push it, wake up, refuse and resist [Scratching] [Chorus] |

(Evidence)
The difference between a hero and a coward? There is no difference. One time or another everyone's felt fear. It's what one person does that the other person doesn't do that makes him a hero. But I'm about to step the fuck up. (Evidence w/ Iriscience) Yo panic y'all. Back against the wall feel the pressure No way out. Situation getting closer Time is ticking, walls are closin Options narrow now, your the one who's chosen Panic, adrenaline rush. Master mechanic Play your position, blow wigs back with cannons Colors of rythym. No options left to chose from Cooperation can cock thoughts that's grouseme Like, glock for murder with three strikes in Houston Or foreign countries that chop fingers for boosting Main objective-don't become an example Either run or get ran. Stampede or get trampled I spit hard and respect my guard Got vision like x-ray, that's how I read your card Yo we got the upper hand and still play by the book The truth? It's always the last place you look. That's right here (Iriscience) Uh-oh. You feel that? That's the croud staring That's the spotlights that shine that damn near blind Sing a swim-time kid. What's your first line? (Evidence w/ Iriscience) I spit hardcore. Menace to flows Time to panic for crews who don't rehearse for shows 'Cause yo this year it's time to reclaim game Used to sit up in the shadows and rebel against fame Until my peep worded me up. Might have the mightest touch And the only way to find out is to blow the fuck up I listened, put that thought under my wing and in my brainstem Now I think ink can bleed through paint pens Or spray cans. Dodging trains it's the panic zone East L.A to the beach. Welcome to the terror dome When the feelings gone, here comes artillery To penetrate my zone takes a mind of a military Blown off exotic trees from Yosemite California's cannibus chance dodging felonies Melt my trees with heat. Guns the remedy Do what I do? You might panic and call emergency (Evidence) Set your own standards. Not everybody can do what we do We can't do what everybody else does. Alot of people get comfortable playing follow the leader. But if you want to see change you need to be the leader to follow. Let's make it happen (Evidence) Panic. Abondoned ship, iceberg titanic. Time to steal fans from other groups they take for granted The way we came up nothing was handed So when we drop the mic its hot. Pick it up, you might get branded Might not like your plane the way we land it But get the job done and then some. So panic And it ain't the last. Coming from the fast High-tech shit so feel the blast Catch the wordplay, hype sends the survey Instead of stripclub chop meats Monday through Thursday Friday through Sunday. Blown off the runway Ev the Weatherman use words instead of gunplay Perfect caintance, can't catch on radar Speak the truth yo don't run with traitors Equator hot. The artic cold Everything between turns to green and gets sold 'I remember when we used to have four seasons. Now it's just like one. One season all year long man. Let's take care of this place' (DJ Babu Scratching) 'Push the panic button shit it's' 'Evidence' 'I can kill it from the West Coast to the Atlantic.' 'Evidence. Oh. Evidence. Yeah' 'Worldwide respected, so give me mines or meet your deathwish' 'Panic' |

Around the time my life when I swore That the mic was a device not to be taken light chorus Night life... Graffiti artists get armed Cans get shook, the walls get bombed This is the time when shadow rocks get thrown At your tinted car windows sound off the alarm This is the time you execute your plan While other people sleep, jewels get ran In get away vans exit off ramps Smaller operations are shops bigger one camps Rock knots in pocket pants Got the advance, and back for my back end in hands And things ain't always what they seem from a glance But up close shit'll change your whole prespective Shadows close in, you realize you ain't protected (chorus) |

War is life and war is death War's a vaccum but war's a breath And war is a war that can never be won But war is the way Johnny got his gun War, it brings students out in a rally War's something that I see too much in Cali War with black, and war with brown And war with everyone as the sound resounds in war, more than you bargained for War is blinding and wars ROAR War is getting picked off storming the shore And war is how the rich conrol the poor War is the boom of impending doom War fills history books and fills tombs War is my lyrics when I duel with drums War is the shape of things to come War is suffering, war is bluffing What is it good for, absolutely nothing! +War+ is one of my favorite groups And war is why they turn y'all kids to troops War, between my zodiac twin One want to do right, one want to sin War is a loop that does not end Cause war is often between kin and friend Everywhere is war and rumors of war I rap battle hymns cause tour is a war Some war with God and some with the beast Some war for war but we war for peace - peace! |
