ADRENALINE
The Roots Feat. Dice Raw & Beanie Sigel Lyrics

Once again, 'gain
Repeating the cycle, emphasizing the continuation

Once again, 'gain
Repeating the cycle, emphasizing the continuation

Once again, 'gain, 'gain
Repeating the cycle multiple times, intensifying the repetition

Ladies and Gentlemen
Addressing the audience with respect and formality

Once again, 'gain
Repeating the cycle, emphasizing the continuation

Once again, 'gain
Repeating the cycle, emphasizing the continuation

Once again, 'gain, 'gain
Repeating the cycle multiple times, intensifying the repetition

Yo, adrenaline
Expressing excitement and energy

Yo, I'm in the eye of the storm where the pressure's on
I am in the midst of a challenging situation with high stakes

And MC's are dressed funny like a leprechaun
Mocking other rappers who appear foolish or ridiculous

I chop rappers like chicken suizceiun
I skillfully defeat fellow rappers in a confrontational manner

Send a squad off like a slave auction
Dispensing with opponents swiftly and mercilessly

Yo my zodiac sign read caution
My astrological sign warns of potential danger and unpredictability

On stage, I'll make your seed to an orphan
Performing live, I will impress and surpass expectations, leaving others feeling inadequate

Yo, my agent have to break equation
My representative must negotiate complex deals and arrangements

Niggas want some? I hit 'em with a portion
If others seek confrontation, I respond with a powerful and decisive force

Son of fifth foursome, armed at the door, son
As a member of a dangerous group, I am prepared and guarded at all times

In milita, Dice Raw quick draw, son
I am a skilled and swift gunfighter in my group, ready to act without hesitation

You don't want no more son? That's when more come
If you are not satisfied with the current challenge, we will bring even greater difficulty

And drag a nigga Eerie avenue to Oregon, you're all done
We will defeat our opponents so thoroughly and relentlessly that they will be left defeated and helpless, regardless of their starting point

Ladies and Gentlemen, select a weapon at the gate
Before entering our domain, you must choose a method of combat or defense

Upon enterting The Roots' instruemtalin'
Once you enter The Roots' musical realm

Spark shit, them niggas try to talk shit
We ignite conflict, causing others to attempt to provoke us

We hit 'em like The L on 60th and Market
We strike back with the same force and impact as a train on a specific street intersection

South Philly click will hold it til a nigga park it
Our collective from South Philadelphia will maintain control until the end

Take sneaks, chains and rings and braclets
We confiscate sneakers, chains, rings, and bracelets, signifying dominance and suppression

Split back, just like we the therapist
We divide and conquer, much like therapists who analyze and solve problems

Adrenaline, fifth mic terrorist
We invoke a rush of energy and excitement, dominating the fifth microphone as formidable and intimidating performers

Nigga, nigga, niggas tryin' to get a grip
People are desperately attempting to gain control or find stability

Bu still slip, so lift me up
Despite their efforts, they continue to stumble, therefore they seek assistance from others

Ever since I was a pup I was designed to erupt
From a young age, I possessed the natural inclination to excel and explode with talent

You get to know me, you'll poke me slowly
As you become familiar with me, you will gradually test my limits or provoke me

When caught fussin', some niggas thought they was, when of course they wasn't
When exposed during a conflict, certain individuals believed they were formidable, but in reality, they were not as strong or skilled

Punked 'em with the dozen
I humiliated them with my superior abilities and dominance

The pellets all in they skellet
My words and actions struck them with precision and force, piercing their confidence and resolve

Transform from the norm, start the brainstorm
Rejecting conformity, we initiate a creative and intense session of generating ideas

Yeah, Malik be from The Roots, he ain't gone
Affirming that Malik, a member of The Roots, remains present and active in the group

I took the wrong exit, the sings to lay on
I made a mistake or chose the wrong path, facing the consequences I must endure

I'm trapped up in about five worlds with live pearls
I find myself entangled in multiple conflicting realities, each containing valuable and profound experiences

Shouts to armour and ??? whose name Jahlil
Acknowledging and expressing gratitude to specific individuals, including someone named Jahlil

The moat is deep water so let your hand expand in
The challenges and obstacles are immense and intimidating, requiring one to surpass their limits and push boundaries

Demandin', taking you back like Knots Landing
Assertive and commanding, we transport you back in time, evoking nostalgic memories like the television show Knots Landing

And Ralph Cramden, we out, you'll see in Hampton
Referencing the character Ralph Cramden from The Honeymooners, we are leaving the current situation and making our presence known elsewhere, specifically in Hampton

Yo, what what what what what what the...?
Expressing confusion or disbelief in response to a sudden and unexpected development

I get wicked on this concrete earth until I rot
I relentlessly display my extraordinary skills and abilities on this challenging and unforgiving world until the end

Didn't figure how to conquer it yet
I have not yet discovered the secret to overcoming all obstacles completely

But still I rock once again
Nevertheless, I continue to excel and deliver exceptional performances

Beans passed the mac and we held 'em, like hostages
Beanie Sigel provided the weapon, and we held our opponents captive, dominating and controlling the situation

Rappers see me hide their face, like ostriches
When rappers encounter me, they try to conceal their identities or avoid confrontation, just like hiding ostriches bury their heads in the sand

Dice'll grind your brain into little sausages
Dice Raw will metaphorically break down and disintegrate your thoughts and ideas into something insignificant or trivial

Under water rap, you know who the bosses is
We engage in a unique and exceptional style of rapping, asserting our dominance and superiority

North Philly, baby, that's where that raw shit is
Representing North Philadelphia, we originate from a place known for its authentic and unfiltered music

You get blown out the sky once you get talkin' it
If you dare to challenge or confront us, we swiftly and definitively defeat you, destroying your ego and reputation

Hey, take the vibe raw, I fathered it
Embracing the unrefined and authentic atmosphere of our music, I played a significant role in its creation and development

And when you see me on the street don't bother kid
If you encounter me in public, it is best to avoid any confrontation or disturbance

Just be on your merry way or you might get slit
Continuing peacefully and without interference is the safest course of action, as any opposition or disturbance may result in danger

Ask around, wonderin' what Dice Raw did
People inquire and speculate about the actions and achievements of Dice Raw

Lay you on floors like you gettin' carpeted
We defeat and humiliate our opponents, leaving them lying on the ground like a floor covered in carpet

You need a special kind of mic, for retarded kids
To compete with me, you require a unique and customized microphone designed for those lacking mental capacity

Me against you's like Kang vs. The Partridges
The battle between me and you is comparable to the clash between two well-known fictional characters

Want to battle? change your name to the forfeiters
If you wish to engage in a conflict with me, you should rename yourself as someone who constantly gives up or admits defeat

Cause that's what you do, faced to face with raw niggas
That is your inevitable response or decision when confronted by genuine and formidable individuals

I give you a bad case of the fucked-up jitters
My presence and actions instill fear and anxiety in you, causing severe discomfort

Once again
Repeating the cycle, emphasizing the continuation

Nigga, nigga, niggas tryin' to get a grip
People are desperately attempting to gain control or find stability

Entering forcefully with my companions, we aggressively confront and overpower our enemies

First nigga that flinch, I'm a fire him

I am aware that drugs are hidden in this location, demanding their immediate revelation

Don't die in the shit that you lyin' in
Do not perish in the circumstances and lies you find yourself in, take action to change your situation

Previously, I bought drugs from a specific dealer, but now I am the one providing the supply
