- Immortal Technique Feat. Poison Pen & Swave Sevah - Stronghold Grip
- Immortal Technique:
- Immortal Technique, Poison Pen
- Swave Sevah motherfucker (get 'em right now!)
- I leave government spies and murderers
- wrapped in plastic like Dominican furniture
- I put the iron in you, like the center of Earth's curvature
- And make your block turn into the, border of Serbia
- My flow's dirtier than juiced-up players in baseball
- And beat you in the head like a sock with an 8-ball
- You got Stockholm Syndrome, and that's why I hate y'all
- Cause you be biggin up the industry while they rape y'all
- Poison Pen:
- Yeah, I spaz out (spaz out) and beat the shit out niggaz
- You fag out (fag out) and beat the jizz out niggaz
- Gloves (check) ski mask (check) duct tape (check)
- Get a ducat and lost and recovered and break neck
- Bed-Stuy, BestBuy, clique and rush the {?}
- Rip up the pavement, throw the whole block on you
- Pop up, you gotta get it
- Like Ricky in "Boyz N the Hood," stoppin to scratch a lotto ticket
- Swave Sevah:
- Yo, I feel the sudden surge given me the urge to speak (yo what up?)
- Scream somethin that's absurd and disturb the peace (fuck y'all!)
- Quick to throw a hot verse to beats
- You see the music I'm a prisoner, hip-hop is my work release
- I'm not the same Swave you knew, I'm a whole new person
- More assertive and aggressive, my attitude worsened
- I raise hell on this earth
- Your rap is over, you Casanova's gon' end up like Gerald Levert, bitch!
- Chorus: Immortal Technique, Poison Pen & Swave Sevah
- Immortal Technique: Stronghold tighten the grip, on the underground
- Poison Pen: I fight back-to-back holdin my brothers down
- Swave Sevah: You done started, with the wrong motherfucker now
- Immortal Technique: Married to the cause and we loyal, we don't fuck around
- Poison Pen: Stronghold overthrow the whole fuckin underground
- Immortal Technique: Secretly run, by commercial motherfuckers now
- Swave Sevah: So while you little step-and-fetch niggaz run around
- All: Controlled demolition, we bringin the structure down!
- Immortal Technique:
- Immortal Technique nigga, I'm the type to flip
- Cause me and my dogs fight to the death like Michael Vick's
- And I don't hit women so I'm not gonna mangle your wiz
- A prostitute with an AIDS race'll handle the biz
- Poison Pen:
- Hit the block with a pen and glock, a ox and rocks, a devil spray
- If that's a K, play yo' punk-ass infected with leprosy
- Leave you half-murdered beyond, recognition beat and indecent
- Leave you with your plastic surgeon for a remix
- Swave Sevah:
- Yo, aiyyo I'm hard-bodied with it
- And these scars, contusions, concussions, fractures
- and pains you suffer from; I probably did it
- You ain't worth spit, I put a hit out on your mother
- Then fuck up you and your four brothers
- Immortal Technique:
- You play Scarface when a microphone's in the room
- But you more like Pacino in "Dog Day Afternoon"
- Poison Pen:
- ASCAP clappin 'em, all this rap traps
- Snatch that diamonds off your neck, worth 50 dead Africans
- Swave Sevah:
- Yo, this dude is truly a joke
- That stuff got you feelin tough, must be sniffin +Peruvian Coke+
- Immortal Technique: We spit Cold War syndrome, it shatters the bones
- Poison Pen: Spray my dependance on your bitch face when it splatters you on
- Swave Sevah: Thrown in submission holds and choked 'til you tap out
- Immortal Technique: And shut down your party like Whitney Houston's crackhouse
- Poison Pen: Stronghold, live and direct up in your set
- Swave Sevah: The habitual line steppers - Swave, Pen and Tech
- Chorus: Immortal Technique, Poison Pen & Swave Sevah
- Immortal Technique: Stronghold tighten the grip, on the underground
- Poison Pen: I fight back-to-back holdin my brothers down
- Swave Sevah: You done started, with the wrong motherfucker now
