ADRENALINE
Beanie Sigel Dice Raw & The Roots Lyrics

Once again, 'gain
Repeating the cycle, doing it all over again

Once again, 'gain
Repeating the cycle, doing it all over again

Once again, 'gain, 'gain
Repeating the cycle, doing it all over again

Ladies and Gentlemen
Addressing the audience

Yo, adrenaline
Introducing the theme of the song which is the feeling of adrenaline

Yo, I'm in the eye of the storm where the pressure's on
I am in a challenging situation where there is immense pressure

And MC's are dressed funny like a leprechaun
Other rappers are dressed in a ridiculous manner

I chop rappers like chicken suizceiun
I defeat rappers easily

Send a squad off like a slave auction
I defeat a group of people like a slave auction disperses slaves

Yo my zodiac sign read caution
My zodiac sign warns people to be careful around me

On stage, I'll make your seed to an orphan
During my performance, I will leave you without support or protection

Yo, my agent have to break equation
My agent needs to solve a difficult problem or situation

Niggas want some? I hit 'em with a portion
If people want to challenge me, I respond with a portion of my skills

Son of fifth foursome, armed at the door, son
I am part of a powerful group, ready to defend ourselves

In milita, Dice Raw quick draw, son
As a member of my group, I can quickly draw my weapon

You don't want no more son? That's when more come
If you can't handle my skills, more people will join in

And drag a nigga Eerie avenue to Oregon, you're all done
I will defeat someone thoroughly, from one place to another

Ladies and Gentlemen, select a weapon at the gate
Audience members should prepare themselves for a battle

Upon enterting The Roots' instruemtalin'
Once you engage with The Roots' music

Spark shit, them niggas try to talk shit
Ignite the battle, as some people try to provoke me

We hit 'em like The L on 60th and Market
We attack them forcefully, like a train hitting a station

South Philly click will hold it til a nigga park it
My crew from South Philly will protect the area until danger passes

Take sneaks, chains and rings and braclets
Steal shoes, jewelry, and accessories

Split back, just like we the therapist
Retreat and regroup, like therapists helping people heal

Adrenaline, fifth mic terrorist
The feeling of adrenaline and being a skilled performer

Nigga, nigga, niggas tryin' to get a grip
People are trying hard to establish themselves

Bu still slip, so lift me up
Despite their efforts, they still make mistakes, so give me support

Ever since I was a pup I was designed to erupt
Since I was young, I was destined to explode with talent

You get to know me, you'll poke me slowly
If you try to provoke or test me, do it gradually

When caught fussin'
If I'm in a confrontation

Some niggas thought they was, when of course they wasn't
Some people overestimate their abilities when they actually lack them

Punked 'em with the dozen
I humiliated them with a large number of insults or actions

The pellets all in they skellet
Their minds were overwhelmed or shaken

Transform from the norm, start the brainstorm
I deviate from the ordinary and begin generating ideas

Yeah, Malik be from The Roots, he ain't gone
Malik is still a member of The Roots, he is still around

I took the wrong exit, the sings to lay on
I made a mistake and went down the wrong path, ignoring the signs

I'm trapped up in about five worlds with live pearls
I am caught in multiple challenging situations

Shouts to armour and ??? whose name Jahlil
Acknowledging and giving recognition to certain individuals

The moat is deep water so let your hand expand in
The situation is challenging, so be prepared to face it head-on

Demandin', taking you back like Knots Landing
Assertive and commanding, bringing back memories or nostalgia like the TV show Knots Landing

And Ralph Cramden, we out, you'll see in Hampton
Like Ralph Cramden from The Honeymooners, we are leaving and going to Hampton

Yo, what what what what what what the...?
Expressing confusion or disbelief

I get wicked on this concrete earth until I rot
I will continue to be fierce and dominant on this planet until I die

Didn't figure how to conquer it yet
I haven't figured out how to overcome everything completely

But still I rock once again
Despite the challenges, I continue to succeed and perform

Beans passed the mac and we held 'em, like hostages
Beans handed over the gun and we controlled and restricted them, like hostages

Rappers see me hide they face, like ostriches
Other rappers hide their faces when they see me, like ostriches hiding their heads

Dice'll grind your brain into little sausages
I will mentally overwhelm and break you down into small pieces

Under water rap, you know who the bosses is
I dominate the rap game, even in a challenging or submerged state

North Philly, baby, that's where that raw shit is
I come from North Philly, which is known for its authentic and unfiltered style

You get blown out the sky once you get talkin' it
If you say something offensive or disrespectful, you will face severe consequences

Hey, take the vibe raw, I fathered it
Embrace the unfiltered energy and style that I initiated or influenced

And when you see me on the street don't bother kid
When you encounter me in public, don't engage or provoke me

Just be on your merry way or you might get slit
Continue on your path and avoid confrontation if you don't want trouble

Ask around, wonderin' what Dice Raw did
People are curious and trying to find out about my actions or achievements

Lay you on floors like you gettin' carpeted
I will defeat you and leave you lying on the ground like a carpet

You need a special kind of mic, for retarded kids
You are not skilled enough to face me, especially if you lack intelligence or talent

Me against you's like Kang vs. The Partridges
Our battle will be as significant as a legendary clash between two entities

Want to battle? change your name to the forfeiters
If you challenge me, be prepared to surrender or give up

Cause that's what you do, faced to face with raw niggas
You will back down and give in when confronted by truly talented individuals

I give you a bad case of the fucked-up jitters
I cause you extreme anxiety and discomfort

Once again
Repeating the cycle, doing it all over again

They used to talk shit, but I'm a quiet 'em
People used to criticize me, but I silenced them

Kick in the door with my boys, stick to fryin' 'em
I aggressively and confidently confront my enemies with my crew and defeat them

First nigga that flinch, I'm a fire him
The first person who shows fear or hesitation, I will attack them

Tape him up, grip his hands, and plyer them
I will restrain him by tying him up and forcefully holding his hands

Know the bricks is in here, where you hidin' 'em?
I am aware that you have hidden illegal substances, where are you hiding them?

Don't die in the shit that you lyin' in
Don't let your lies and deception lead to your downfall

Used to get fronted bricks, now I'm buyin' 'em
I used to borrow drugs, but now I am purchasing them

Used to cop off my man, now I'm supplyin' him
I used to buy drugs from someone, but now I am the one selling to them

Paid a front row seats, watchin' Iverson
I spent money to have front-row seats to watch Allen Iverson play

First class air crash when I'm flyin' in
When I travel first class, it feels like an extravagant disaster

To L.A., Shaq, Eddie, Kobe Bryant and them
To Los Angeles, where Shaquille O'Neal, Eddie Jones, and Kobe Bryant were playing basketball

Save the jokes for Chris Tucker, Richard Pryor and them
Leave the comedy to Chris Tucker, Richard Pryor, and other comedians

Used to shotgun in cars that I'm drivin' 'em
I used to have control over the car as I rode shotgun

Used to hustle 'round bars, y'all was robbin' 'em
I used to engage in illegal activities near bars while others were committing robberies

Run all up in yo' spot with Rob and 'em
I will forcefully enter your place with Rob and others

Grew up, two-four, with Pry and 'em
I matured while being with Pry and others

But do my dirt, twenty first, with Kyle and them
When engaging in illegal activities, I do it with Kyle and others on the 21st street

Nigga Pop, nigga Buzz, little Mark and them
Pop, Buzz, and others play a significant role in my life

Brother knews, nigga schooled Marly Park and them
My brother knew and schooled others in Marly Park colony

Nigga jump, pull a pump, low sparkin' 'em
If someone acts aggressively, we retaliate with a gun and intimidate them

I know shit right now gettin' dark to them
Things are getting difficult and intense for them

Tore their body all up, ain't no chalkin' 'em
We caused serious harm to their body, there's no need to mark it with chalk

To sharp for them, move out in the dark on 'em
We are too intelligent and skilled, we can operate and attack in the darkness

These Illadel' foul streets when I'm stompin' 'em
These corrupt streets of Illadelph are affected by my presence and actions
