Kill Or Be Killed
9th Prince Lyrics

Revenge of the Iron Fingers
The return of the powerful and skilled warriors in the music industry

We keep it real, hold steel, grab ya sword and ya shield
We are honest, prepared with weapons, and ready to defend ourselves

Terrorist and 9th Prince it's either kill or be killed
It's a dangerous world and we must either fight or be defeated

Yo we train snatchers, capture fifty-seven passengers
We are expert fighters, capable of taking down many enemies at once

It's the last chapter, the underworld scavengers
This is the final showdown, and we are the ones who will come out on top

Thuggish dark shadows, stick and move like Apollo
We are like shadows, moving quickly and unpredictably like a skilled boxer

Mass test the acid they swallow, born to be street desperados
Our enemies have tried to poison us, but we are naturally tough as hardened street fighters

Like Castalano, these niggaz is wicked like the witches of Eastwick
Our enemies are treacherous and powerful like famous villains

Dirty referee sick shit, kill or be killed is the topic
The situation is dirty and corrupt, and only survival matters

Then I'll be a serial killer, hidden murder scriptures
I will be ruthless and systematic in taking down my foes, leaving behind evidence for others to discover

For the armageddon mafia, Stapleton shell shockers
We are part of a powerful group of fighters, feared and respected in our community

Saddam and Terrorist, we tag teams like the midnight rockers
We fight together like a well-oiled team, using our unique skills and talents to complement each other

Put you in a wrestling move, kill ya crew
We are skilled both in fighting and in taking down entire groups of enemies

9th Prince is raveshing like Rick Ru'
I am a charismatic and appealing artist, like a famous wrestler

I attack the Billboard like Hurricane George (yeah)
I am a powerful force in the music industry, like a legendary hurricane

Niggaz is microphone frauds (yo)
Our enemies are fake and poseurs

The death wish: kill the rest of the foreign lords
Our ultimate goal is to eliminate all other powerful and influential artists, especially those from other countries

High street vocalist, get a toke on this
We are experienced and skilled musicians, and our music is powerful and addictive

Try and wrestle with the bulk of this, you just provokin' this
Don't mess with us, you're just bringing down trouble on yourself

Terrorist when pissed is like The Exorcist
I become a powerful and dangerous force when angry, like a legendary horror character

Make you slit ya wrist, choose ya death wish, let me insist
We are not afraid to kill our enemies, and we want them to know that they will face a painful death

In the procedure, the only language is thru ya speaker
The only way to communicate with us is through music

My tongue is fire, breath is the flame, lyrics are ether
Our lyrics are powerful and dangerous, like a destructive fire

Build boy, heat seeker, blow the shit out ya tweeter
Our music is powerful and can destroy speakers

In the lab constructin' rhymes to put ya ass in the sleeper
We are constantly working on new and better ways to defeat our enemies

Grab my millimeter, call me a cheater, ya easy bleeder
We will use any tactic necessary to take down our enemies, who are weak and easily defeated

Terrorist and 9th Prince is the underground leaders
We are powerful and respected in the underground music community

Lyrics for days, splittin' my current seven ways
We have endless amounts of potent and dangerous lyrics

Rest in the PJ's, countin' my grays, I'm goin craz'
We work hard and tirelessly, but also enjoy the fruits of our labor

I pulled the budget, these record execs is fuckin' sufferin'
We have gained power and wealth in the music industry, and are causing problems for those in charge

Give me a couple mil' by the year 2G just off my publishin'
We are very successful and profitable artists

Records are bubblin', my team is strugglin'
Our music is popular and successful, but we still face challenges and obstacles

Yo revelation nation, kill on occasion, sick of patience
We are part of a revolutionary movement, and are willing to use violence to achieve our goals

My visions is diabolical like Wes Craven
Our ideas and concepts are dark and twisted, like the work of a legendary horror filmmaker

Genetic verses, streets is cursed
We are born to be warriors, and the streets are a dangerous and unpredictable place

Tales of terror in ya area, twenty million miles to Earth
Our music is powerful and influential, and can impact people all over the world

Genocide a century, Apocalypse peniteniary
We are fighting against a deeply entrenched system of oppression and injustice

Computer convicts, the final conflict
Our enemies are powerful and well-connected, and will stop at nothing to defeat us

9th Prince is too intelligent to speak ebonics
I am a smart and skilled artist, capable of using sophisticated language and concepts

Shocky, but brain waves electronic
Our music is powerful and electrifying, with the ability to shock and surprise our listeners

Microphone addiction, philosophy crusifiction
We are dedicated to our art, and are willing to suffer in order to achieve success

Prince Saddam crusified all competition
I am a powerful and successful artist, able to dominate my rivals

He moves like a swordsman on a horse
I am a skilled and powerful fighter, able to move with grace and precision

Bloody verses leave blood stains of Verbal Intercourse
Our lyrics are powerful and dangerous, capable of changing the world and leaving a lasting impact

Floss, like diamonds all up in the cross
We are wealthy and successful, and enjoy showing off our wealth and power

The title is kill or be killed and you just fuckin' lost
Our message is clear: we are the ultimate force in the music industry, and we will take down anyone who tries to compete with us

That's the laws, yeah..
This is the way things work in our world, and we are in charge

Terrorist and 9th Prince, check the sequence
We are a powerful team, and always work together to achieve our goals

Y'all niggaz must be dense
Our enemies are foolish and don't understand the power we possess

There ain't no defence for this offence
There is no way to stop us or prevent us from achieving our goals

Tryin' to pay the rent, nigga
Our enemies are struggling and desperate, and will do anything to try to defeat us
