"Spirit Of Cyrus" lyrics - L.L. COOL J

[Intro: LL Cool J]
Now, there ain't but twenty thousand police in the whole town
Can you dig it? Can you dig it?
I can dig it

[Verse 1: LL Cool J]
This is my manifesto, the reason why I did it
The press will call me evil and label me a menace
Don't let the lies deceive you, they pushed me to my limit
Racism's a disease, it's only right I kill it
Black blood, you're quick to spill it, justified rape and pillage
Hide behind your image, and terrorize my village
Your life, you won't live it, your death will be horrific
A 147 grain bullet to be specific
My 9, I'm liftin' it to execute a hypocrite
Creep up a little bit and squeeze, I'm sick of it
I walk away slow as the people gather 'round
Quick change of clothes, blend back in the crowd
Let the paramedics work, right? That's not your job
Now you dead up in the dirt, right? 'Cause that badge is the mob
A big blue gang, how do problems get solved?
By incendiary devices, your body's dissolved
I know all of your tactics, flak jackets and fog
Call us niggas, take a life quicker, like you a god
So I'm aiming with my rifle, my heart's become hard
You're the devil's disciple, so I prey on your car

[Chorus: LL Cool J & Q-Tip]
Black vigilante, Black vigilante
Thirty magazines for my AR-15
Black vigilante, Black vigilante
Suppressors and magazines for my M-16
Black vigilante

[Bridge: Snoop Dogg]
Don't try to apprehend me
I'll black and blue your family, don't try to apprehend me
L'll black and blue your family, don't try to apprehend me
I'll black and blue your family, don't try to apprehend me
Come on, Cyrus, we're with you! Go ahead, bro!

[Verse 2: LL Cool J]
The world wouldn't listen, I begged for assistance
Everywhere I turned, more and more resistance
I traveled long distance, they called your death instant (Come on, Cyrus, we're with you!)
You may not believe it, but my weapons is convincing (Go ahead, bro!)
I monitor the airwaves, watch for the X-rays
Blood is the appetizer, death is the entree
I want to hear him scream, line him up with the beam
I remember we would take lives for the same team
I know you're gonna follow me, try to intervene
So the exit wounds are ugly, entry wounds are clean
I catch you at the red light, oh, you looking for me?
These bullets are my slaves, it's time to set them free
I smile as my lead niggas run away from me
Please catch 'em for me, I smiled when you saw me
Innocent bystanders are witnessing something gory
They have nothing to fear, only you die in this story

[Bridge: Snoop Dogg]
Don't try to apprehend me, I'll black and blue your family
Don't try to apprehend me, I'll black and blue your family
Don't try to apprehend me, I'll black and blue your family
I'll black and blue your family, don't try to apprehend me

[Verse 3: LL Cool J]
I heard you on the radio gasping, barely breathing
I slowly drove away as I bid you a good evening
We both know the reason, why it's open season
You promoted treason, you hold an evil allegiance
Guilty of malfeasance, you ignored my grievance
If you would have listened, it's your death that we would prevent
It would not have become a homicidal disagreement
We both know I'm right, but you label me an extremist
I'll stich you fuckers up and make the murder seamless
The killing's tailor made, l'm dressing up the demons
People don't believe you 'til the world is in upheaval
It's an ongoing saga, believe me, this is the prequel
Blinded by my black skin, now your head is see-through
The ones that I kill first, they are just a preview
Meet me in the mountains, let's play a childish game
I'll hide while you seek, then we'll go up in flames
