The Beginning
Dag Savage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, I slay devils like the Holy Ghost
Burning Bible papers, rolling up some holy smoke
Speak universal greed is what I only quote
Grab a mic, 1, 2, all she wrote
Yeah, and niggas know to fuck that feeling
Treat tracks like CIA dark, went off a killing
Seize the earth understanding to construct the wisdom
You in a room full of masons, how the fuck you building?
Don't let the music be a sacrifice
This rap catch 'em switching like hermaphrodites
These niggas climbing hard but they ain't half as nice
I'd rather chew my arm off before I pass the mic
Killing these clowns
These niggas is full of shit like the Zimmerman trial
How you gonna stand behind the murder of an innocent child
In an all-white hoodie, blowing smoke to the clouds

Let it begin and get started
Let it begin and don't stop
Let it begin and get started
And get started, get started

Let it begin and get started
Let it begin and don't stop
Let it begin and get started
And get started, get started

I construct rhymes with the hands of time
The brothers pantomime
I slang rappers like great to have on Valentine
Yo, y'all fascist ass niggas ain't no fam of mine
It's holy war like Israelis and Palestine
And nowadays I am religious
'Cause niggas at the pole been signing some petitions
And brother say they Muslim but they bombing hella vicious
The road of religion is just one big business
Bear witness, these cats is on the X like paparazzi
Always in the club, out here sweating off a molly
Before I pop a pill, man, I'd rather pop a Nazi
Dirty science nigga, you ain't fucking with my posse
Yeah, what up, Haki? Move and get yoru shit slayed
Buck 50 niggas flows with a switch blade
My shit's crack pipe, Whitney Houston, Rick James
I don't just be sick, nigga, I spit A's
Bound to get praised, verbal salassye
When I deal with your'
Write rhymes from the blood of my skin
See, I murder with the pad and the pen
Let the savage begin

Let it begin and get started
Let it begin and don't stop
Let it begin and get started
And get started, get started

Let it begin and get started
Let it begin and don't stop




Let it begin and get started
And get started, get started
