[00:00.00] (Intro: Krizz Kaliko)

[00:00.03] Rumble, they gon' take yo' face off

[00:02.11] (Verse 1: Tech N9ne)

[00:02.88] Spirit of a lion describes my soul

[00:05.70] Give it up to Zion then my fire grows

[00:08.49] Wishing of a riot inside my lobe

[00:11.02] And my trippin' is the highest when I fight my foes

[00:14.33] Bip, I'ma hit 'em with this, you 'bout to get yo' ass kicked

[00:17.35] My technique is so sick, I'm 'bout to make the hit quick

[00:20.64] Whole lotta muscle (Chea) you don't wanna be in a tussle (Chea)

[00:23.45] Better than me? That's rubble

[00:24.71] You want trouble? What's up though? (Chea)

[00:25.97] Feelings hot to kill a top guerilla

[00:27.74] Drop and kneel to pops, I grilled the opp

[00:28.75] For real, ya clock, it yield and stop

[00:30.29] Ya will is shot, the deal was knock ya 'til ya plop

[00:31.81] I got the hеll comin' yo way (Chea)

[00:33.32] You softer than a thing of Yoplait

[00:34.84] Nevеr competitive with the better kid, I go cray

[00:36.10] Gonna be deaded because I fed it to the Mo', graves (Chea)

[00:37.36] When you wake up in that wet blood

[00:39.13] Ain't no way you 'bout to get up

[00:40.64] How you know that I taxed yo' ass?

[00:42.15] 'Cause you got the motherfuckin' check stub (Rrr)

[00:43.67] Always gonna have to pay costs

[00:45.18] When you steppin' in my way, boss

[00:46.44] When I build steel and you stay soft

[00:47.71] You're gonna punk out when we face off

[00:49.47] (Chorus: Krizz Kaliko)

[00:49.72] Rumble, they gon' take your face off

[00:52.52] They gon' rumble, they gon' take your face off

[00:55.29] They gon' rumble, they gon' take yo' face off

[00:58.10] They gon' rumble, they gon' take yo' face off

[01:01.13] They gon'—

[01:01.37] (Verse 2: Joey Cool)

[01:01.40] Rumble there, young man, they rumble

[01:02.93] Run up, get a combo quickly

[01:04.20] Help you understand but stay humble (Do-do)

[01:05.97] Don't nobody wanna talk about the way of the world

[01:07.74] The weight of the world'll make 'em all crumble

[01:09.00] And I might stumble, but I pick myself up

[01:10.26] Brush myself off, my thoughts of a goddamn boss (Woo)

[01:12.54] I am at their neck like I'm Malcolm X

[01:13.80] Like I'm Dr. King, like I'm Cornel West

[01:15.57] Like I'm Huey P., like I'm Booker T

[01:16.86] Like I'm Rosa Parks, I'ma need my rest

[01:18.37] Niggas know what I'm 'bout I'll run up in yo' house

[01:19.89] Feet up all on your couch, sock you right in your mouth

[01:20.95] I ain't after no clout, it could really go south

[01:22.73] I'm prepared to go to battle whenever there is a bout (Ah)

[01:24.24] I am Muhammad

[01:24.99] Ali I'm payin' the homage, policy is to be honest

[01:27.01] I take it beyond it though

[01:28.06] I can relate to ebonics and really I hate to be ominous

[01:30.29] All of your hate is too obvious

[01:31.55] I am the hustle, the muscle, I play for the audience

[01:33.06] I am a gangster with knowledge

[01:34.32] If you wanna enter the ring, I would hate to be opposite

[01:35.84] Jab with the right, jab with the left

[01:37.62] Jab with the right, now you got 'em all staggerin'

[01:39.14] He gon' come back with the right, back with the left

[01:40.69] That's when you step to the side, now dagger

[01:41.71] You gon' be damned if you do, damned if you don't

[01:43.51] Bastard, I'm like Cassius, my swagger

[01:44.77] It really don't matter pardon, I'm hardened

[01:46.05] Lawless, the Martian kickin' that jargon (Ah)

[01:47.81] (Chorus: Krizz Kaliko)

[01:48.32] Rumble, they gon' take your face off

[01:50.58] They gon' rumble, they gon' take your face off

[01:53.36] They gon' rumble, they gon' take yo' face off

[01:56.42] They gon' rumble, they gon' take yo' face off

[01:58.97] They gon'—

[01:58.97] (Verse 3: King Iso)

[01:59.75] Barber cape off how I'm giving the fade

[02:01.24] Based off the description I gave

[02:02.50] Cut the game off, I'm a street fighter

[02:03.51] Beat the brakes off like the whip on the stage

[02:05.28] Hand out ass whippings

[02:06.58] My plate haters ate off, yeah, get Hitler a steak

[02:08.34] It'll be chaos like an emerald chase

[02:09.60] When I face off in a Nicolas Cage

[02:11.12] Y-Y-Y-Yeah, I'm living in rage

[02:13.13] Punch a pussy nigga like I'm fisting his babe

[02:14.39] I was sitting in the 'spital, going mental, doc had told me

[02:15.91] They'll forget me but they didn't, I remember them days

[02:17.19] And I don't wanna be Batman, nigga, I'm Bane

[02:18.71] Literally how the venom enters my veins

[02:19.49] Since a little one, Killa really been sick in the brain

[02:21.30] And the more I think about it, my life was twisted, wait

[02:23.32] Reminiscing on when mom and dad would wonder

[02:24.58] Why they couldn't reach me like they didn't have my number

[02:26.09] Fighting for my sanity, I never had the hunger

[02:27.35] Put a nigga underground quick, that's a bunker

[02:28.62] Sh-Shock 'em like I'm Master's brother

[02:30.13] Better pick your battles, busters halfway under

[02:31.90] Hit more times than acupuncture

[02:33.16] When it comes to rumbling, I'm Afro Thunder

[02:34.93] Really it be funny when I kick it to you dummies

[02:36.20] How I'm grippin' on the iron when I'm rhyming on the mic

[02:37.71] Because it really will get bloody like I'm kicking it with buddies

[02:39.24] When I beat a nigga up like I was Iron nigga Mike

[02:40.48] I tell 'em they don't wanna tussle, when I'm at 'em, they gon' drop

[02:42.00] Bet you that he stumble when I jab him then I cross

[02:43.51] Leave a nigga humble like, "Damn" when Kenny dropped

[02:44.77] 'Cause really we can rumble like Jackie in the Bronx

[02:46.32] We gon'—

[02:46.33] (Chorus: Krizz Kaliko & Dwayne Johnson)

[02:46.33] Rumble, they gon' take your face off

[02:49.13] They gon' rumble, they gon' take your face off

[02:51.91] They gon' rumble, they gon' take yo' face off

[02:54.94] They gon' rumble, they gon' take yo' face off (Chyeah)

[02:57.71] (Verse 4: Dwayne Johnson & Tech N9ne)

[02:57.96] It's about drive, it's about power, we stay hungry, we devour

[03:00.75] Put in the work, put in the hours and take what's ours

[03:03.78] Black and Samoan in my veins, my culture bangin' with Strange

[03:06.31] I change the game so what's my motherfuckin' name? (Rock)

[03:09.36] What they gonna get though?

[03:10.36] Desecration, defamation, if you wanna bring it to the masses

[03:12.64] Face to face now we escalatin' when I have to put boots to asses

[03:15.43] Mean on ya like a dream when I'm rumblin'

[03:17.72] You're gonna scream, "Mama"

[03:18.73] So bring drama to the king Brahma (Then what?)

[03:20.74] Comin' at ya' with extreme mana (Ahoo, ahoo, ahoo)

[03:26.08] (Outro: Dwayne Johnson)

[03:27.88] Thank you brother, Tech N9ne

[03:31.16] Thank you, Teremana

[03:33.45] One take, that's a wrap

[03:37.24] Face-off
