[02:51.64] (Prodigy) Yo, the heavy metal king, hold big shit with spare clips

[02:54.55] (Prodigy) You see eclipse when the MAC spit, your top got split

[02:57.49] (Prodigy) Layin' dead with open eyes, close his eyelids

[02:59.60] (Prodigy) Turn off his lights, switch to darkness

[03:01.20] (Prodigy) It's deep in the abyss of street life

[03:03.05] (Prodigy) Blood on my kicks, shit on my knife

[03:04.66] (Prodigy) You's the wild child, Kicko turnin' men into mice

[03:07.04] (Prodigy) I was born to take power, leave my mark on this planet

[03:09.96] (Prodigy) The phantom of crime rap, niggas is left stranded

[03:12.35] (Prodigy) Shut down your operation, closed for business

[03:15.29] (Prodigy) Leave a foul taste in your mouth like Guinness

[03:17.41] (Prodigy) P.O.W. niggas is found M.I.A.

[03:20.32] (Prodigy) We move like special forces, Green Beret

[03:22.98] (Prodigy) Heavily around my throat, I don't play

[03:25.37] (Prodigy) Shit brand new, back in '89, the same way

[03:27.76] (Prodigy) The God P walk with a limp, see

[03:30.16] (Prodigy) But simply, to simplify shit, no man can go against me

[03:33.34] (Prodigy) Test me, you must be bent, G, don't tempt me

[03:36.00] (Prodigy) I had this full clip for so long, it needs to empty

[03:38.39] (Prodigy) The reason why it's full for so long 'cause I don't waste shit

[03:41.30] (Prodigy) You properly hit, blood in your mouth so you could taste it

[03:43.70] (Prodigy) Quiet is kept, I lay back and watch the world spin

[03:46.35] (Prodigy) I hear thugs claimin' that they gonna rob the Mobb when they see us

[03:49.80] (Prodigy) I tell you what, black, here's the issue

[03:51.67] (Prodigy) It's a package deal, you rob me, you take these missiles

[03:54.33] (Prodigy) Along with that, I ain't your average cat

[03:56.44] (Prodigy) Fuck rap, I'm tryna make cream and that's that

[03:59.10] (Prodigy) Whatever it takes, however it gots to go down

[04:02.03] (Prodigy) Four mics on stage, a motherfuckin' four-pound

[04:04.42] (Prodigy) Speakers leakin' out sound and niggas leakin' on the ground

[04:07.34] (Prodigy) I could truly care less, the God gon' get his regardless

[04:10.52] (Prodigy) Blow-for-blow, let's find out who hit hardest

[04:12.38] (Prodigy) This rap artist used to be a stickup artist

[04:15.04] (Prodigy) Sometimes I test myself, see if I still got it

[04:17.70] (Prodigy) A live nigga stay on point, never disregard shit

[04:20.89] (Prodigy) Or forget the essence from which I emerged

[04:23.03] (Prodigy) P is sick, so save that bullshit for the birds (Nigga)

[04:25.40] (Prodigy) Live up to my words, if I got beef, niggas comin' in herds (Nigga)

[04:28.86] (Prodigy) We flush through, your clique get purged (Word up)
