Poison Pen - Stronghold Grip lyrics

[Ad libs for first 22 seconds] [Immortal Technique] Immortal Technique, Poison Pen Swave Sevah motherf**er (get 'em right now!) I leave government spies and murderers Wrapped in plastic like Dominican furniture I put the iron in you like the center of Earth's curvature And make your block turn into the, border of Serbia My flow's dirtier than juiced-up players in baseball And beat you in the head like a sock with an 8-ball You got Stockholm Syndrome, and that's why I hate y'all Cause you be biggin up the industry while they rape y'all [Poison Pen] Yeah, I spaz out (spaz out) and beat the sh** out n***as You f*g out (f*g out) and beat the jizz out n***as Gloves (check) ski mask (check) duct tape (check) Get a ducat and lost and recovered and break neck Bed-Stuy, BestBuy, clique and rush the {?} Rip up the pavement, throw the whole block on you Pop up, you gotta get it Like Ricky in "Boyz N the Hood," stoppin to scratch a lotto ticket [Swave Sevah] Yo, I feel the sudden surge given me the urge to speak (yo what up?) Scream somethin that's absurd and disturb the peace (f** y'all!) Quick to throw a hot verse to beats You see the music I'm a prisoner, hip-hop is my work release I'm not the same Swave you knew, I'm a whole new person More a**ertive and aggressive, my attitude worsened I raise hell on this earth Your rap is over, you Casanova's gon' end up like Gerald Levert, b**h!
