Shell Shock
U-God Lyrics

To my hard rocks, locked in cell blocks, never shell shock
Shout out to all the tough guys locked up, never intimidated

Melt the ox in your face, displaced in the penalty box
Punch you so hard that your face caves in, sent directly to solitary confinement

My enemies heart pumps poisonous blood, your choice, the slugs
My enemies are negative people, and their punishment is to get shot

You do dirt in the rain, than your name is mud
If you do bad things in secret, you'll eventually get caught and your reputation will be ruined

Major love to thugs in the back of the clubs
Shout out to all the dangerous guys in the back of the club

Strapped for what? TO avoid bein stuck and blazed up
Carrying a gun to avoid getting hurt or killed

Laced up, struck from the waste up, embraced by the muts in the cut
Fully armed and ready for war, attacked from the waist up, protected by my crew

Bullets sizzle up, leave you fist fucked, intense cut
Bullets fly past you, leaving you terrified, feeling like you just got punched in the face

From Leatha and Uey, verbal gymnast
Leatha and Uey are skilled rappers

Volvo, physical fitness, over tracks leave statistics
We're moving so fast over these tracks that we're breaking records

Tripped into the realm with chrome shines like sunlight
Entered into the world of hip-hop with rhymes that shine like the sun on chrome

Half of my life is right, the other half is a gun fight
Half of my life is good, the other half is a battle for survival

Uptight jake harassin for college satisfaction
Police officers aggressively interrogating people to meet their quotas

101 question askin in back of the paddy wagon
Police officers ask too many questions while taking people to jail

Sadly, tragedy happen
Unfortunately, bad things happen

Lost in captivity, imagine me happily clappin
Trapped in jail, but still enjoying myself

Big barrels, heavy ammo, man the mammal
Fully armed, ready for action

Packed in commando, rapidly practice supreno
Trained in combat and ready to strike

Crack my fingers on pianos
Flexing my fingers to warm up for a fight

I torture you with orchestra tackle on your back, the jackel
Attacking my enemies with precision and skill

No time to react, combat, flyin scrap metal
No time to think, fighting with intense violence

Kamikaze degrees, cherry instant fire, live wire
Risking everything to win, instant and deadly

Dunn, rock it til your knees drop, over tree tops
Fighting hard until you collapse, overcoming high obstacles

Colossal current enforcin, outer bridge crossin
A huge force to be reckoned with, crossing dangerous territory

One foot first, is the rebirth, the crime arson
Starting fresh after a tough time or committing a crime

Caution, furnace flyin, deserters try to black ball us
Be careful, danger is everywhere, and enemies are trying to sabotage us

Over the face of the Earth's surface
All around the world

The heat is heatin up, demon from the east wing
Things are getting intense, danger from the east side

Hitman's bullet, leave you barely breathin and barely seein
A deadly shot that leaves you barely alive and barely conscious

A critically blaze, biblical plague in amaze
A catastrophic event that shocks everyone

Riddle the box, smmothered in cops
Trapped in a police investigation

Sky hugger, Space Jam, slam in the blizzard of rocks
Leaping high in the air and slamming down hard, like a basketball player in the movie Space Jam, through a storm of rocks

A space invader, laced with lazers and with omega weapons
Like an alien from outer space, fully armed with futuristic weapons

Magnificent 7, this cannibal mouth, gangsta spectrum
Part of a group of highly skilled individuals, with a mouth that can devour anything and a rough lifestyle

Form an animal house, fume at 11
Forming a gang of tough people, ready for action at any time

We shell shocked, we burn hotter than a meltin pot
We're battle-hardened and intense, hotter than a boiling pot

Your skeleton drop, as your cells start to pop
A deadly shot that kills you instantly

We dwell on blocks, while you cats held my the cops
We live on the streets while being harassed by the police

Blow fire from you tops, your expired by the shots
Fighting intensely and relentlessly, defeating our enemies

Hot wired by the watts, exterminate ya, terminate ya
Charging up with energy and destroying our opponents

War displayed by the real niggaz
A real battle fought by the toughest people

On his wrist saw the spiral, glass hand
A watch with a spiral design on the face and a glass band

Last man to eat tracks like you straight up, hit up a white dude
No one can match me when it comes to rapping, not even a white rapper

Jean jacket, Austrailian gats, Mediterainian raps
Wearing a jean jacket and carrying an Australian gun while rapping in a Mediterranean style

Play the back with the joint on his neck
Staying in the background but always ready to smoke a joint

Who feelin this? Thugs love this, we way above sea level, love
Tough guys love this, our skills are way above average

Check out the glove, stay bloodied up, plug this
Look at my hand, it's always bleeding and dirty, and it's all natural

Verbal hygiene, the Golden Arm, plus niggaz stay warm
Cleaning up the rap game with golden words, and tough guys stay warm in the cold streets

See ya out in Mexico, we implantin The Swarm
See you in Mexico, where my gang will take over

All niggaz snatch money, watch the sweater, criticize my Fila
Everyone steals money, so don't criticize me for wearing Fila clothes

Sneakers cost cheddar, with the heat out
Expensive sneakers, but we'll still fight hard

Brolic, extra large, dynamic, crack your ceramic in half
Strong, big, and ready for action, capable of breaking anything

Go against The Grain, we feedin you math
Do something different, and we'll teach you a lesson in math to straighten you out

What up? Niggaz call it high-tech, big shank reign
What's up? Tough guys call it high-tech, and are known for using big knives

Straight out the kitchenette, jums in the set
Starting from humble beginnings and joining the big leagues

Before I go, analyze all money go
Before I die, I want to understand where all the money goes

Yeah, you seen him, a 6 double O, rockin bummy clothes
Yeah, you saw him, driving a Rolls-Royce, but wearing raggedy clothes

Bloody Red Hook, money and crooks
Violent neighborhood in Brooklyn, full of criminals

Get out my face with them funny looks, ya better off studyin books
Don't smirk or look at me funny, better spend that time studying

Let the weed burn, they brain dead, I feed em the worms
Smoke some weed and relax, instead of being anxious and crazy

y'all be actin up and showin off, in needin to learn
Stop acting out and trying to impress people, you need to learn some discipline

You know the sun shines as the Earth turns
Things will get better with time, just like the sun rising and setting every day

Nowadays is the ghetto germ, knockin off whoever concerned
There's a dangerous epidemic in the ghetto, killing anyone who gets in the way

I dip your brain in the blood of fire, prophecize like Jeremmiah
I'll melt your brain with my fiery rhymes, like the prophet Jeremiah

Turn a crowd to a choir, hot wired space ships
Making a crowd sing together, like a choir, and fast-moving like a rocket ship

Fed niggaz who I hate with, I be Apocalyspe, Tales of the Crypt
Feeding my enemies a deadly dish, like the apocalypse or a scary TV show

Raise the dead out the realm with a 6
Raising the dead with my rhymes

Overwhelmed by the smell of the clips, gun smoke, shots hit
Smelling the gun smoke after firing, the sound of shots hitting their target

We surrounded by Hell and politics, bulletproof or hollow tips
Stuck in a dangerous situation, either protected or vulnerable to bullets

I'm the silencer on the loudest clip
I'm a quiet person among the loudest and most violent people

The widow maker, Heaven Razah, put of curse on whoever major
The deadliest attack, performed by Heaven Razah, cursing anyone who crosses him

Snatch the belt off the heavy weighter
Taking the championship belt from the heavyweight champion

I be a Swarm alligator, slap niggaz way across equators
I'm part of a dangerous group, attacking everyone across the world
