One Six

[7L scratching]
 "Ladies and gentlemen" . "it's about that time"
 "Put your-your-your-your hands together"
 "We bout to bring him out!"
 [Esoteric]
 Yo, I'ma read it to y'all, like it was read to me
 We the was, the is, and the end to be
 7-L, E-S! A new era, for rap terror
 Turn me up Ray, yo.
 Cats say they strapped like they ready to blast
 Realistically they strapped, meaning needing some cash
 Claim you wet, fourth element to keep it real
 But when I spit ill you feel like a fifth wheel
 I rip steel, kids peeled like burnt skin
 Many tried to copy Esoteric but weren't him
 Somethin bout the way I use breaks and loops
 Take steaks, make 'em into boots
 Break up groups like cash issues
 Tomahawk cruise missiles rip through your tissue, endin your life
 Dem is some nice flowers that I'm sendin your wife
 Attemptin to fight, point is like a bendable knife
 Comin at me sideways, at the (?)
 That's how crabs move, bad move
 I am hip-hop, so if I ever bite a line
 I'm only takin back what's rightfully mine, motherfucker!
 Just a little taste, so strap on that neck brace
 One-six. yo, 7L
