[Chorus: Termanology]
Young or old, never✦ fold, never✦ catch me running✦
Following✦ protocol✦ and keeping✦ the system✦ running✦
Competition✦ we gunning,✦ your spot you better✦ run it
So many✦ years in the game but yet we still running✦
Young or old, never✦ fold, never✦ catch me running✦
Following✦ protocol✦ and keeping✦ the system✦ running✦
Competition✦ we gunning,✦ your spot you better✦ run it
So many✦ years in the game but yet we still running✦
[Verse 2: Kool G Rap]
I hurt your feelings buddy,✦ we working with silly✦ money✦
You playing with silly✦ putty,✦ your nose is still putty✦
Pockets is real chubby,✦ sort of like Checker✦
G your home wrecker,✦ fuck up your home sector✦
Is she a bone inspector, you get the chrome Heckler
Just eat your dome flesh up, I'll give you stone pressure
We tryna✦ raise bread up, my shit can raise the dead up
Twenty✦ eight days later,✦ zombie bullets ate your face up
The nickel plate face up, Nicholas Cage your face off
Come in and knock your face off, my lawyer✦ knock the case off
You better✦ knock your shit off, Homie I knock your shit off
Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Zero✦ rocket✦ lift off
Come in your hit get lost, you cross the line get crossed
Nothing in line big boss, I flick your mind switch off
His whole line kick off, remember times✦ in the North
Now bring it down to the south, and let 'em find shit out
[Chorus: Termanology]
Young or old, never✦ fold, never✦ catch me running✦
Following✦ protocol✦ and keeping✦ the system✦ running✦
Competition✦ we gunning,✦ your spot you better✦ run it
So many✦ years in the game but yet we still running✦
Young or old, never✦ fold, never✦ catch me running✦
Following✦ protocol✦ and keeping✦ the system✦ running✦
Competition✦ we gunning,✦ your spot you better✦ run it
So many✦ years in the game but yet we still running✦
[Verse 3: Saigon]
Put this dick in your bitch, budonkadonk
See me in the honkajonk, probably a pump in the trunk
Yah niggas pumps in the bump
MC Hammer✦ ass nigga,✦ your papers getting✦ thin
Tell the truth, you ain't see me getting✦ in, but I did it again✦
Major✦ deals, Sony✦ pub, entourage, ratchet Monday✦
Never✦ had a hit, but shit nigga✦ made a stack of money✦
I'm the definition✦ of what legends should be
Is it me, nobody✦ better✦ than G and they never✦ could be
You could not compare entertainer to an innovator✦
But his songs do not belong in the incinerator✦
It's like he Rakim's cousin,✦ like he kin to Jada✦
But its no relation,✦ his flow come with extended flavor✦
Hard work and dedication,✦ like he Floyd boy
Hell nah, y'all ain't fucking with your boy boy
He went from Ill Street Blues, to spitting real street news
A real street dude, you might wanna✦ avoid✦ boy
[Chorus: Termanology]
Young or old, never✦ fold, never✦ catch me running✦
Following✦ protocol✦ and keeping✦ the system✦ running✦
Competition✦ we gunning,✦ your spot you better✦ run it
So many✦ years in the game but yet we still running✦
Young or old, never✦ fold, never✦ catch me running✦
Following✦ protocol✦ and keeping✦ the system✦ running✦
Competition✦ we gunning,✦ your spot you better✦ run it
So many✦ years in the game but yet we still running✦
