Verse One:

Boldly go only to sew the block up,lock shit down,
Mama told me you's the giant
Pump out the nose cold,crimewave,host em, baratone
throne
So defiant, they stole the science from the o.g.
carbon copies,sloppy,trying
To muscle out the o.d. slapshot,can't get it past the
goalie mask
Stonefinger roam, royalty zone off, henn, gin rummy
stunts, cummin in sums, writing on ya tummy hun
Low stamina, still hungry some, asthma,
clogged up, Ramus smog, dialogue, dorm plasma, road
hog it all, hammers
No matter what, the track's right and exact,it

System jammer, right on ya rack, black panther on a
mission
Right back at you,ready to cook this shit!
Babylon apple, natu-wu (natural) habitat, stone
statues(planes crashin!)

Verse Two:

Robotron golden arms, pentagon brain cell, all to
gain, chained to the bumper.
Wolfgang hunters, field goal punters tone,steel toe
eruption, it's a gusher!
Tonecrusher smith,usher the style,stubborn born
criminals foul within the isle
Let off a signal with attitude,magnitude ,beat

The track more lethal, came back to see you
Finish the job off proper, live wire shit, spit the

Odal Swank

This track is too violent and twisted for soft baked cookies heads, they can’t be blamed, they despise Ugod because they didn’t swallow the right pill. Golden Arms is an artist, a creative genius searching a way of expression to escape lyrical death. The level is so high... turbulences are inevitable when you reach the sky of hip hop.

Eric Anderson

The beat is insane & he goes hard with the wordplay lyrics is beast

C Vinyl

This production is Epic...
Respect to True Master!!!

DaGroundUnder

"fancy in the club, Halle Barry slow dance, we romance, now gimme love" love that line

Deebo's World

Classic, this beat is bananas favorite song on the CD

D W

Facts!!

TRILL

This is BY FAR the GOAT UGod track (and also Black Jesus but he's not the main artist on that one). The beat fully captures UGod's swag

andy lebz

No wayyy!!! One word..."Impossible"

Goldenfritz Ngarizemo

Try the joint he done with Rza and B Real Killa Hill Niggaz.

Francisco Soto
