Your life is in danger

Tha river droppin' g shit
With mo' kicks than a Steven Segal

From tha unforgiven mask murderer
Handcuffing tha m-I-c
Serving niggas like miky d's
Mo' action's than jackson
You never breath again like Toni Braxton
When I'm maxing
Shooting rhymes like John Paxton
And don't forget
Tha lights on tha camera
So I lick 'em
Stick 'em

Get mo' mellow than I trail 'em

And make 'em evacuate with tha swiftness
Killin' my fatal flow with tha quickness
