Don't see us


[black thought]
Uh, what what, yo yo p-5-d uncut
Check it out, yo yo, s-p uncut
Yo yo, what p-5-d uncut, yeah yeah its that philly shit
Yo yo, check it out, yo yo

Chorus 2x

Chorus [malik b]
You dont see us, but we see you
You stuck on sleep, get on your ps and qs
Cuz you will get crept, wit no discrept
You know the rep, we keep the flows in check

[black thought]
Mesmerizing, state of the art caffeine
Its over head like omniverse screen
Im not the average savage that curse queens
Im something from his worst dreams
First we handling first things, Im subsurface un-seen
Gratll hold planet by purse strings
Mcs are earthlings, not built to hurt things
Speakin the words of weaklings, nothin but sweet things

[malik b]
Man each world, it aint no time to recline
Act up, get clapped up, my mind is the nine
Shine like jewels that spark, swimmin wit sharks
Never caught speakin to narcs, thats weak in the parks
Im the type to sit back and analyze the prize
Grip it up and flee the scene wit a different disguise
Take a detour, I be all that I can be whore
Talkin to this *bitch* life, had to make her my wife
Live twice, got seven more lives to live
Im all out, takin things to the fullest extent
Help me get it down and we can split one-hundred percent
Run a rapper through a maze like a experiment
Word up, you know the legendary roots crew, yo

Chorus 2x

[dice raw]
The raw dice rise like a creature from out the swamp
Wit my blood-thirsty clergy thats on the hunt for conk
Who pumps your heart, I made you wanna rhyme from the start
You should be more alert, then you wouldnt get hurt
Get off your horse and on your ps and beware
Of images you seein, did deceiving, youre scared
And even more shook up than the scenes thats near
Im dice raw, sting the inside of your mouth like a cold sore
Who wanna piece, well its round one, lets begin
I got a gun thats dont bust, it just suck niggaz in
I got shit thatll have you beggin me to shoot ya
Im the professor, you rock a dunce cap, go get a tutor

[black thought]
Yo, okay computer, radioheads knock to the
Future shock like kurtis, at your service
None other than, the fifth governing playin the cut again
Yall clueless to what the fuck is up again
Yo, hard times and sufferin
What, my peoples in the crevices strugglin
nuff of them ? untie? soldier thespian
But Im from the next e-on, supreme being thats unseen for mcn

Chorus 2x

[malik b]
Yo, they all around me round me
On my head, they got a bounty
Im tryin to get this bell up so I can flee your county
Triple-six, come in my mix, flood it wit tricks
Im sharper than rough spoons for icepicks
Niggaz price bricks till dawn, if the money is long
Cats who play strong will inhale, then go play bong
You wrong son, you thought I wasnt droppin a ton
Sit and think about the way I wanna tally a sum

[dice raw]
Aiyyo I sneakfully snuck up from behind and got you
>from over there in them bushes, I chilled and watched you
Dancin all dolly as you pussy for them folly
I knock you out wit one punch from me you been ali-ed
I float like hovercrafts and sting like vaccinations
When my name said out loud, youll lose your concentration
Dice raw, d-i-c-e-r-a-w, you wanna take it
Otherwise, fuck you gon do?
Thats what I thought, nada, nothing, caput, zero
Rough as sandpaper but still smooth as a tiptoe
Raws takin over, baby dont tell me you aint know
A lot of kids can rap but you fuckin wit the pros

[black thought]
Namsayin, yall know the legendary roots crew, its like

Chorus to fade

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
