Intro, Chorus:
Michael Jackson brought you Thriller
It made all the gun-man hollar
Mack 11 guard your grilla

First verse: Lauryn Hill, Bounty Killer
( Lauryn )
Why you gwan, watch out for Babylon, MC's babble on and on I phenom,

rain like meteor storms, that change forms like the pillars of Islam,
make the best rule, and f**k the rest who'll, it takes one drop of
purity to clean the cess pool, the next crew, will be comprised of kings
and queens wearing crowns and holiday scepters, facing Mecca, making
records, raiding biblio-techas, I sip nectars with gods in the
streetapparel, keep the path straight and narrow while we bombin' on
Pharaoh, so Bounty Killer pour the sorrel let's make plans for tommorow,

( Bounty Killer )

( Wyclef )
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.
( Bounty Killer )
That's when shots start to echo from yah 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.
( Wyclef )
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 rap
it in a box, you versus me is like a mouse versus a ox, Wyclef,
preacher's son, I sing a hym 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 delt with incarceration.
( Bounty Killer )
Thought i heard you want to be my rival, askel 45 a it a idol, them
start war end no seek survival, Refugees we gonna treat them
detrimental, Punks, fools.

Bridge: Wyclef, Bounty
Another sound boy dies, slow deth, Refugee Camp, Bounty Killer......

Chorus

Third verse: Praz, Wyclef, Praz, Bounty Killer

( Praz )
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, mimimizing our losses like caution to the maximum,
stratiges 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

Them blame Jamaicans

Chorus

( Bounty Killer )
Yeah, yeah yeah.....

Outro: Bounty Killer, Wyclef

( music fades )

(feat. Jeru The Damaja)

(Chorus: Bounty Killer)

Suicide or murder
In this jungle this they be glad to hang ya
Plus the galley man learn fi not to linger
Blow fast just like a gas cylinder
And then
Suicide or murder
Will this save you with this brand new gun ya
Want to hold back man he's gonna fi linger
Your head is like a boss gun shot with sin ya

(Verse One: Bounty Killer)

Yes boy you see me contender
Me not retreat,and me no surrender
Gun shot attack them like a rat in a blender
Gun shot they get up me pull up they get sent up
Heard they shot a woman and me hurt defender
Word like a liar then me kick like ninja
Gonna rob them cents bea wanna like bazooka(?)
You say it sucks, its gone get bunch harder
Not ready to kill, then ready your heena
This man from Rockport & then from Reema
Clean up

(Chorus)

(Verse Two: Jeru)

Murder them, murder them
Test the most high, it's a suicide mission
MCs dead, all others fled
fearing the power
thunder and lightning
lyrics like hot lead showered
through the desert and in the jungle
when I bust off shots I blow up spots, & competition turns humble
guns rumble, bodies tumble but I can't be injured
when I kill the contenders I escape like a ninja

(Chorus)

(Verse Three: Bounty Killer)

Yes boy, we gonna drive life trife uh
Juice get ame up like a scuba diver
Whores get a west up & then maybe wise up
Long time we dare you had a great survivor
Devil said you're wicked and your Bud Light's whiter
Kill or be killed and see the heart rise up
So just keep on killing, then fi gonna ride up
Yes boy

(Chorus)

(Verse Four: Jeru)

When my mind spray, you must lay down get flat
Or snatch up your girl & your gun, & shoot your way out the back
When I fire, the lingo blows out your rib cage
You retire the sound and not because of old age
Blood splatters and holy fire turns to dawn
Killing smooth and silently like the Rasta James Bond
Armed and dangerous, so grab your pistols
But like an MX missile, I'll rip right through you
Some rather die, then face a fate worse than hell
With a bounty on your hood and Bounty Killer on your tail

(Chorus)

I saw these fools tryin' to get around, tryin to let me down
And all dat, ha, but I got an easier way to let dem drown
With these Guns of Navarrone, I shall shoot dem like Al Capone
Take dem to the zones of bones, like dat, well

Yo dunn, they tried to knock me down, bury me under
Big pipes soundin' like thunder
Skated by the skin of my teeth
I had to put a man in his place last week

Now why you wanna come at me?
I'm the wrong nigga to approach like that, homes
Wrong nigga for threats
Lone nigga with long chrome

And we can dance till one of us drop
You score points fallin' with good formation
I'm the wrong nigga for patience, wrong one at dunn
The very last nigga you should ever blast your gun

To the floor, actin' like you goin' to war
Now you fucked up, here come a real rocket launcher
Flame thrower, rule with a iron rod
That be the Ruger, ya'll niggas keep tryin' hard

But who the loser when you can't walk your hood at night
And you can't come outside without fear
Am I in your thoughts often? While you be walkin'?

Foot soldier catch you at the store's corner
Keep me on your mind and don't slumber
Man the minute you slip with those, that's your ass

M O B B dunn, let's get it on dunn
With Bounty Killer, yo, it's like this dunn
Aiyyo cock that shit, pop that shit
Squeeze off, let em know how real this is

M O B B, D double E P with Bounty Killer
No other gun runners keep a round like this
From Q U double E N S, my bomb borough, till the day of my death
Whether in shit I been in, runnin' down the block

Sprayin' shots with the Lindon, listen
We all been through action, you know the last me blastin'
The last man standin, pack shit long than bare wake
Neither the Jake nor the snakes gon' stop it

You know the Mobb lettin' off rockets
Gun burners spit like lungies, dummies
Still nuttin' pop but the shells
These ain't words from hell these are slugs, something you feel
A gun runner nigga for real nigga

Yo hear my gat blow, make you spit out crack the axle
Of that brand new Six that you couldn't seem to whip
Empty the clip, make sure no friendly get hit
While you layin bloodied up in the Six

Flee the frontline, dismantle gat then bounce
Then watch the twelve o'clock news and hear them shout you out
Plug leak, slip rug right from under your feet
You runnin' the streets, you don't want no problems with us
Everyday is like Fourth of July to us

Henny in my cup beside the gat you'll find in my clutch
Interfere with the plan and you will get touched
Let the liquor talk for you and you will get touched
Full fledge, like Ra let 'em know The Ledge

While you slippin' off edge, your shorty's givin' me head
Cockin' 'em legs like guns when I'm cockin to spray
Poppin' your way, sendin' shit that's hot your way

Hay Yow! You! Mr Fassy
Cause yuh should be happy to see others happy
We gonna start this and sell a million copy

Verse 1:(Coco Brovaz)
In a smoke filled room
Banging my favourite tune

Soldiers around me
Getting Rowdy
Coco B's and Bounty
We mash the Party
Then flee the county

Come see the Nazi from the refugee
All Star in the clup pay the V.I.P.
Show me love BCC in the double tree

We MCs rocking box like Run-DMC
Spread love with my peeps and my family
S-T double E, Smokey he run with me
Tail flowers cover me that's my PNC's and

Chorus:

Verse 2:(Bounty)
Party going on from night till day
Full attention is what the ladies

All when mi old and mi hair dem grey
Anyweh di party deh mi ah deh deh

Chorus:

Verse 3:(Coco B's and Bounty)
Baby wanna dub wit me
Get me answer to the club seasoned grub on me

Well I'll be sippin Henesee up in the V.I.P.
And I'm just trying to stay alive like a Refugee
Smoking black trees with Coco B

Wave King Rock checker for a Walabees
And all the thugs with me
Get in the club for free
You gotta respect these

Ghetto Celebrities

Cause we party from Jamaica back to NYC

Chorus:

Verse 3:(Bounty)
Step inna the party girls a push and shove
Tell dem guy bye-bye dem madly in love
And a approach fi wi kisses and hugs
Kiss off we cheek till dem lipstick smudge
Wanna be a member of the fan club
Sketel ah wink mi but mi neva budge
How much hot gal mi have ah melt like fudge
Addicted to this like it is hard drugs
Nuff man ah cus cause them filled with grudge
Why they wanna harm me I'm a refugee thug
Just because the girls like the way we does
When wi a chat dem nuff

Chorus:

(feat. Bunny Ruggs, Dramatxx, Killah Priest)

(Dramatxx)
No Supastar, just gotta just who you are

(Bounty Killer)
25 to life, uh, pass the lighter rude boy
The music a hot like a million fire side
Come in!

(Chorus: Dramatxx, (Killah Priest))
Don't have to be No Supastar (Supastar, Supastar)
Just gotta be just who you are, oh-whoa
In everyone there's a sense of purpose
That's right so Babylon don't you try to control us

(Bounty Killer)
Africans who we are, every nigga is a star
Well, the top is where I'm headin far
Pretty chicks and fancy cars, and a nigga into Mars
Drink champagne, dem yam too much caviar
True players in a bar, some of dem smoke a dem cigars
Drown them fools and now we make dem bizarres
Stole the cookie from the jar but you never took him far
Well, him and Killah Priest gon' never spar

(Chorus)

(Killah Priest)
We live in poverty due to prophecy from our ancestors
We all transgressors, uh Moses let us
Now cops arrest us, until the jake, job bless us
Left false scriptures to protect us
Rightful ears, the Solomon's sceptors
True Isrealians, Rastafarians
We handle beef like vegetarians, we very sinned
My players sip Dacari's, we live the life of Judas Maccabee
Black fatigues with our hair raggety!
We all Supastars even without +CREAM+ and cars

(Chorus)

(Bunny Ruggs)
Know why? Street tycoon up before high noon
Followed by the spot, zoom lens, ghetto peepers singin my tune
They say I'ma die soon, livin without time, sketchin my outline
(It's a hitman!) Too late to make a speedy recovery
Lovely, with shots that done smmothered me and covered me
Choppers above of me, what a startling discovery
Our own brother be the one with the killer instinct
Just because I'm a so-called star

(Chorus)

(Bounty Killer)
Well, I just wanna be myself, I don't need nobody else
Working for long life, and good health
No whats about the wealth, see that's the way I felt
I'm okay, confide in God, will help
Tried to put me on the shelf cuz I'm so excellent
Damn you nowhere with no persistence
You don't want no selfish thing, don't have no confidence
Well, you don't have to be a star to be yourself

(Chorus x2)

> Look into my eyes, tell me what you see?
Can you feel my pain? am I your enemy?
Give us a better way, things are really bad,
The only friend I know is this gun I have.
Listen to my voice, this is not a threat
Now you see the nine are you worried yet?
You've been talking 'bout' you want the war to cease
But when you show us hope, we will show you peace.


Look into my mind, can you see the wealth?
Can you tell that I want to help myself?
But if it happen that I stick you for your ring
Don't be mad at me it's a survival ting.
Look into my heart, I can feel your fear
Take another look can you hold my stare?
Why are you afraid of my hungry face?
Or is it this thing bulging in my waist?

Look into my life, can you see my kids?
Let me ask you this,do you know what hungry is?
Well in this part of town, survival is my will
For you to stay alive you've got to rob and kill.
Look into my house would you live in there?
Look me in the eyes and tell me that you care,
Well I've made up my mind to end up in the morgue
Right now I'd rather die, cause man a live like dog.

Look down on my shoes, can you see my toes?
The struggle that we live nobody really knows
Stop and ask yourself, would you live like that?
and if you had to then, wouldn't you bus gun shot?
Look into the schools, tell me how you feel?
You want the kids to learn without a proper meal
Den what you have in place to keep them out of wrong?
If they drop out of school dem a go bus dem gun

(Chorus: x2)
Poor people tell me how yuh a go gain
If everyday yuh get up politicians yuh a blame
Run to di media an go launch yuh complain
A lick on di leaders when tings still are di same

If yuh stay a back deh how di hell yuh fi verse him
Everyday yuh get up politician yuh cursing politician yuh cursing situation worsen
But a nuh lie, if yuh nuh try, well yuh nah go get nuh bligh
All a look like yuh waan see bread drop from di sky

Well it nuh funny it's mine to sink some orange an pine
An mek yuh own money an a nuh try tek away mine

Yuh nuh see seh gosling limpin it a fly like a sparrow
Afta success mi shoot like an arrow

1. My pocket is week, my heart is willing
Ah want a pound a rice, but can't find a shillin
Can't buy the chicken back, much less the chicken
Turn left and right is pure gunshot a fling
Every whey mi guh is wicked song them a sing
Now hear mi now Queens, and hear mi now Kings
All over this world, local and Foreign
Black and white, mi naah prejudice skin
Now hear mi mister Lou, mister Wong and mister Chin
To kill another man what good does that bring
i feel it so much till cold bump take mi skin
Mi head start to hurt mi, and mi eyes dem a spin

CHO



Who give the guns, who give the crack
No-one to take the blame
And a who import the guns and cocaine
And a who innaculate the ghetto youths brain
And mobilize dem inna this Bloodsport game
Say if you want to rich, you haffi kill Shane
And wicked enough to kill him mother miss Jane
Mek dem say you a di wickedest man pon the lane
And if you want you respect fi long like a train
Well you better make shot fall like a rain
You haffi put one foot pon then concord plane
Hey, you better sell twenty kilo a cocaine
