Insolence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's Up Essa?
Strike like a deadly venom
When I hit 'em
I'm out to get 'em
Shredder ya
Like the predator
Who's the one putin it down
With the straight madness
INS the baddest
And Cypress wit the status
Correct
All the terrorist militia
Gonna have to get ya
Dog eat dog world we're all gonna miss ya
To bad terrible things could straight happen
In the blast with the mad sounds as I'm rappin

1-2 1-2
Comin out
Swingin hard
Swing hard
Swinging hard
Swing swinging hard

1-2 1-2
Comin out
Swingin hard
Swing hard
Swinging hard
Swing swinging hard

Like I said before
I'm taking you label whores
Down for the count with my big 44
Run in your store
Make you lay on the floor
Ahh shit wait I got some more
I'm coming with the ill tactics
That suckuz said is brutal
Like the Chinese torture
And that African voodoo
I got fools down for years
Put in work until the end
If you fuck with Sen-Dog and the Insolence

1-2 1-2
Comin out
Swingin hard
Swing hard
Swinging hard
Swing swinging hard

1-2 1-2
Comin out
Swingin hard
Swing hard
Swinging hard
Swing swinging hard
We cannot be faded
We cannot be faded

The INS Crew on an insane campaign
Commin out swingin only when we maintain
A super mad stoner status
Showin up at your house with my glass apparatus
Just like a samurai
Blind to the naked eye
Hari-Kari lifestyle now you have to die
Crews far inferior
Wrecking stop cutting through your interior
Far superior

1-2 1-2
Comin out
Swingin hard
Swing hard
Swinging hard
Swing swinging hard

1-2 1-2
Comin out
Swingin hard
Swing hard
Swinging hard
Swing swinging hard

1-2 1-2
Comin out
Swingin hard
Swing hard
Swinging hard
Swing swinging hard

1-2 1-2
Comin out
Swingin hard
Swing hard
Swinging hard
Swing swinging hard




We cannot be faded
We cannot be faded
