DILATED PEOPLES LYRICS - Self Defense

"Self Defense"



This is self defense

This is self defense

This is self defense

This is self defense



I think ya better let it go

You need attention? I send medical

Basically you're tryin' to harm me, you're crazy

Musically I'm blazin', physically I'm gracy

Triangle choke ya

And what the fuck could have provoked ya?

We don't know each other kid and I did not insult ya

Don't make me feed the fish, feed the trees or feed the vultures



I don't know stones, I throw statues and sculptures

I block flows with strikes and strikes with blows

I slice flows with my mic at shows

I counterattack to turn the tables in an instant

Move out of range and step into close distance

Resistance, relax with less friction

Leverage and technique bring jokes and submissions

You got heart, you plan to make it happen



But none of my family are chumps or never have been

Respect mine, protect myself at all times

Build twice next time before you cross the line

I guess this is what you call a turn of events

And the best offense is a good defense



Yo, you wanna hit us? We can hit back

If you talk that talk, you got's to live that

(This is self defense)

Whenever you front out, you gonna get back

Self defense, you wish you never did that

(This is self defense)



Yo, you wanna hit us? We can hit back

If you talk that talk, you got's to live that

(This is self defense)

Whenever you front out, you gonna get back

Self defense, you wish you never did that

(This is self defense)



Yo, stay ready for the worst, paranoid, straight, smart

Enemies hit ya where you think you're safe

(Self defense)

I cut my fingerprints with razor blades

I'm in the cut, the kind you don't recognize with shades

Tattoos, learn two tricks

Only thing between me and the borders and the straight face

Answers to questions, four eye contact

This confrontation ain't physical but still combat



Leave ya'self left with options to choose

The last line of defense from my crew, dope rules?

Psychic, precise, right and exact for songs

Only time we've been wrong is when we thought, we were wrong

The science are format's own conclusive

But peace first and war, last, these words are crucial

Conflict resolved but to those that want to brawl

Pain is inevitable, sufferin' is optional



Also droppin' the ball ain't reccommended

When life or death decisions are made within seconds

Of course we make the right ones, strategically through

Self defense but not by myself, Babu



We can hit back

If you talk that talk, you got's to live that

(This is self defense)

Whenever you front out, you gonna get back

Self defense, you wish you never did that

(This is self defense)



You wanna hit us? We can hit back

If you talk that talk, you got's to live that

(This is self defense)

Whenever you front out, you gonna get back

Self defense, you wish you never did that

(This is self defense)



Self defense is a must

Self defense is a must

Self defense is a must
