[KM.G] All hail to those who believe in lying For they know the spirit of our life True as a brother make his way in life Shall he make it uncontrollable towards any other being
[VERSE 1: Cold 187um] First let me explain that I'm a hustler Now here's an example of what a hustler must do In this lifetime you got two things Bad and good, and ain't nothin in between Now I'ma break down a little slogan So you can figure out the path that I'm strollin Some say it's hard, some say it's dirty Some say it's all sex, money and murder Now me myself, see, I'm a hustler And I rather be that than a new jack buster I'm always known for doin somethin Cause I'm always in the mix when the shit start jumpin At a club and at a house If a sucker disrespect, I get upset Now I'ma make my plan to get with it I'ma hit, and seek, and destroy it Now what could I really be sayin? That all set aside, that I don't be playin 187's a killer, even iller And I'm also a thriller And of course I'm untouchable
It's not what you know, it's what you can prove *For the so-called law* [sample from N.W.A.:Fuck Tha Police]
Untouchable It's not what you know, it's what you can prove *For the so-called law*
[VERSE 2: KM.G] See, I got to misbehave, just a little taste Push up, increase, yo, I start the phase New lyrics, breakin like a running rebel For the words are defined, cause we're on a higher level Cause I'm goin out with Jack in my system Hustlers from the house, you can just list them Lookin for some heartbeat, ready to rumble If I spot a soft sucker his world's got to crumble Pardon me a moment, I can't just stand it Brothers claimin what ain't there, they're rhyme bandits I'll arraign my death until I reach my peak And if the king slip, I've got to impeach (KM.G, do you have the contacts?) The homie Ant, K-oss with the dope tracks On the 12 spin, behind his back 2nd DJ jumpin off is Go Mack On a mission to keep on dishin all fools 187 got the right, cause we wrote the rules Lyrical techniques keep fools in a daze Straight up your panjacks just to hear me faze (Now what about the brother we took out? Don't sweat him, cause he didn't have no clout Cause yo, in attack I broke his back, I show no slack And I never got caught because I'm untouchable)
It's not what you know, it's what you can prove *For the so-called law*
Untouchable It's not what you know, it's what you can prove *For the so-called law*
[VERSE 3: KM.G & Cold 187um] Untouchable, on the Cali streets On the corner where the dope and destruction meets Where a cool young brother could never be soft On a top-dollar street where shit jumps off You're never up on a, tagged as a tinted You're tryin to get out, but you're already in it Cause pooh-put suckers don't amaze me Cause I live my life wild, ruthless and crazy If I don't hit you, you probably hit me How could it be, I'm the illustrator KM.G And see, that's just one thing that never happens KM.G, 187 - lose when we rappin See, we slide out some suckers who be nappin Grab the mic, put in the clip and commence to start cappin Cause when we flow, we got dignity And we're givin the world an opportunity That there's a lesson to be taught when you come to our show Cause we scratch on our table, and bust the rhyme flow Plus our lyrics is steaks, and rhythms come clean Do damage, break backs, if you know what I mean We stay untouchable
It's not what you know, it's what you can prove *For the so-called law*
Untouchable It's not what you know, it's what you can prove *For the so-called law*
Untouchable It's not what you know, it's what you can prove *For the so-called law*
Untouchable It's not what you know, it's what you can prove *For the so-called law*
Untouchable It's not what you know, it's what you can prove *For the so-called law*
(Cold 187um) See it was seven o'clock and the sun had just set the crew rolled up and said it time to jet I was kinda hesitatin' cause it was nothing to do but we always find something to get into Total-Kaos broke out he said lets go to the movies he was paying so I wasn't being choosy jumped in the ride and proceded to go "yo what are we goin' to see?" "yo man I don't know" but when we got there it was a quarter to nine to see the main flick it was a long as line paid to get in and not a second before a sucka looked me up and down at the front door now I shined on and walked on in but he kept on staring again and again I walked up and said "what's up" he said: "not you" I turned around and then I looked at my crew because I know he didn't say what I thought he said and if he did I'm gonna have his head on a platter the sucka scared out when we got ill the brother who tried to front he got his caps pilled and his homies they got mad but they soon broke out because of what we had chorus: because I take out my weapon and I quickly start blastin' I go total loco like a crazy assasin I look at my posse they say nothings confusin' why? why? why? it's just another execution See it was early we was bored uptight so we rushed up to In-and-Out to get a bite to eat I saw a freak I hadn't seen in a while the one with the crazy eyes and the pretty smile she was def you know what I mean the hoe was stacked to the max in a skin-tight jean she sat across the room and try to stare at me then send a note about how she wants to get with me now I'm wonderin' what has changed is it that I'm rockin' the house and that I'm makin' a name for myself cause when I first met her all she said I did with her was upset her I think that sneak she's tryin' to play me down cause I ain't the one that likes to be clowned so I told the hoe to leave me alone I said girl you need to take your stuck up ass home at this second her boy walked in I said man do I have to act crazy again then I grabbed my weapon it's time to get ill you can say it is cool or you can straight get pilled with buck shots I mean all over the place in your back, your side in your stomach, in your face cause I don't really care what your girlfriend says if you keep talkin' shit you get a bullet in your head so anyway what your beefin' about if I wanted your hoe she'd be already turned out she's jockin me she might go with you now checkin' your girl is what you need to do chorus
Today in South Central violence is an all-time high Due to the terrorist group ATL You might label them as being a menace to society
Now it's a well-known factor why I can't be caught Now see the law's got a problem, and they gotta be taught That I'ma fatally get ill when I come to a jam I got to dust a sucker off just to state who I am Cause I'm Cold, just like the middle of the winter And every jam that I play, they wanna enter Come in, but ain't no suckers admitted We tell em all straight up, they need to quit Stop clownin me, cause they all wanna be down with me Cause when I put down the mic, they are surroundin me Clockin steady dollars, every single word Say it loud, like I'm proud, cause I got to be heard, nerd You been mistaken when you thought I was a criminal Use my lyrics deadly, just like a chemical It's essential to my path, it's my limit But I go overboard by the time that I finish Yo, it doesn't symbolize we great, or we good It's just a pay-off from the trade that we learn in the hood Should you be surprised that the hood'll pay off But it won't, if you choose to walk and speak soft Deep into my lyrics you sink, quicker than quicksand That's how we separate the boys from the men When you open up the page to the L.A. Times You see a sucker's been killed for stealin our rhymes Cause I'm a menace
(Menace to society) (Cause I walked this path since '88) To society (Yo man, personally I like the group) (Cause I walked this path since '88) Cause I'm a menace (Menace to society) (Cause I walked this path since '88) To society (Over 50% of the population has already been overtaken by the group)
Now it's time to go off, somebody got me pissed So I'ma diss and twist till there's no one to deal with I skeezed all the freaks in the place, that was the format Then why you stopped? A sucker got ill and then I had to pull a gat See, I gotta put em in check Cause when we walk in a joint, we get big respect He's still frontin like he gotta confront He only set up himself, so he can straight get pumped It's his decision, but he has been mislead You can take the caution, but there's danger ahead But you're a stoolie, so I'ma play you like a rookie I'ma beat you down like gambler owes a bookie Cause yo, you know I gotta have it Bein Above The Law is a everyday habit See, I had to grab it, then I have to take it Then I have to shake you, then I have to fake you Out, so don't you even try me Tryin to fade the crew, and ain't nothin but a blimey Think to yourself when we're speakin And I'ma warn you now to be aware when we're creepin Taggin a brother for his dollar signs But I know what I am, they know I have nothin to hide Because the place will be on fire the minute that I finish Why KM.G? Yo, cause I'm a muthafuckin menace
(Menace to society) (Cause I walked this path since '88) To society (Yeah man, they harder than a muthafucka) (Cause I walked this path since '88) I'm a menace (Menace to society) (Cause I walked this path since '88) To society (Any individuals trying to resist the influence of this group shall be executed)
Why we do it like this? Because we're mentally strong What's up? Now realize that Lawhouse has got it goin on Makin, breakin, takin suckers out with only just a word My style is temporary, so not often ever heard Usin and abusin every rhythm that I'm rappin to I'm chilly chill and that's the way that I have to be Boy, status definitely a 'large' Warrior ambassador - that means I'm in charge Up like a Duracel, yeah, I last longer Suckers weaken while I be gettin stronger Master rhyme sayer off the top of my brain Oppositions I'll eliminate, and that could be fatal pain To your reputation, and your ego breaks out To the border, amigo, because you know what's up Windy, whistling, cold like a blizzard When the group broke out, they said, "Who the hell is it?" On the mic don't take it light, cause if you bite I'll fight Don't get mad because your bitch said I sound alright Because, illeterate fools, you must understand Although my status is b-boy, I'm stronger than He-Man That's how I make it, I never fake it God gave me this talent, and nobody can take it Away, now that's enough to make you move your butt Now Total K-oss, Go Mack, take us out with a cut Cause I'm a menace
(Menace to society) (Cause I walked this path since '88) To society (This is some serious shit, man) (Cause I walked this path since '88) Cause I'm a menace (Menace to society) (Cause I walked this path since '88) To society (By now over half the world has been contaminated by the group's influences It is apparent to me that not only South Central Los Angeles is in a rage)

When you can's say (shit) and you can't say (fuck) I really think you wanna hear it But the radio stations, you see, they still gonna fear it Yo, I thought this country was based upon freedom of speech Freedom of press, freedom of your own religion To make your own decision, now that's baloney Cause if I gotta play by your rules, I'm bein phoney Yo, I got to cater to this person or that person I got to rhyme for the white or the black person? Why can't it all be equal? Music is a universal language for all people I better get off the rebellious tip Before somebody out there say I'm startin to slip I ain't trippin, I'm steadily flowin and throwin Givin you a dope style Keepin me on top of the pile Cause ATL'll soon take over the nation And if you don't wanna hear us, well, change the station Boo! I sneak in your mind your mind Sink in your mind, creep from behind So fast that you won't have time To deny a brother that's from the streets Tryin to teach, hopin to reach Yo, 187's not one that's known to preach But I wish for each to have freedom of speech
