Self Defense Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
This is self defense
This is self defense
This is self defense
This is self defenseI think ya better let it go
You need attention? I send medical
Basically you're tryin' to harm me, you're crazy
Musically I'm blazin', physically I'm gracy
Triangle choke ya
And what the fuck could have provoked ya?
We don't know each other kid and I did not insult ya

Don't make me feed the fish, feed the trees or feed the vulturesI don't know stones, I throw statues and sculptures
I block flows with strikes and strikes with blows
I slice flows with my mic at shows
I counterattack to turn the tables in an instant
Move out of range and step into close distance
Resistance, relax with less friction
Leverage and technique bring jokes and submissions
You got heart, you plan to make it happenBut none of my family are chumps or never have been
Respect mine, protect myself at all times
Build twice next time before you cross the line
I guess this is what you call a turn of events
And the best offense is a good defenseYo, you wanna hit us? We can hit back
If you talk that talk, you got's to live that
(This is self defense)
Whenever you front out, you gonna get back
Self defense, you wish you never did that
(This is self defense)Yo, you wanna hit us? We can hit back
If you talk that talk, you got's to live that
(This is self defense)
Whenever you front out, you gonna get back
Self defense, you wish you never did that
(This is self defense)Yo, stay ready for the worst, paranoid, straight, smart
Enemies hit ya where you think you're safe
(Self defense)
I cut my fingerprints with razor blades
I'm in the cut, the kind you don't recognize with shades
Tattoos, learn two tricks
Only thing between me and the borders and the straight face
Answers to questions, four eye contact
This confrontation ain't physical but still combatLeave ya'self left with options to choose
The last line of defense from my crew, dope rules?
Psychic, precise, right and exact for songs
Only time we've been wrong is when we thought, we were wrong
The science are format's own conclusive
But peace first and war, last, these words are crucial
Conflict resolved but to those that want to brawl
Pain is inevitable, sufferin' is optionalAlso droppin' the ball ain't reccommended
When life or death decisions are made within seconds
Of course we make the right ones, strategically through
Self defense but not by myself, BabuWe can hit back
If you talk that talk, you got's to live that
(This is self defense)
Whenever you front out, you gonna get back
Self defense, you wish you never did that
(This is self defense)You wanna hit us? We can hit back
If you talk that talk, you got's to live that
(This is self defense)
Whenever you front out, you gonna get back
Self defense, you wish you never did that
(This is self defense)Self defense is a must
Self defense is a must
Self defense is a must

Dilated Peoples is a hip-hop group that has achieved great fame in the underground hip-hop community, although their only real mainstream success was the song This Way, a 2004 collaboration with Kanye West.

DJ Babu (from the DJ crew Beat Junkies), Evidence, and Rakaa joined together in 1992 in Los Angeles, CA and released Third Degree and Work The Angles, which were quickly established as favorites in the underground scene and among rap critics. They eventually signed to Capitol and in 2000 released The Platform, to more critical acclaim. Their sophomore set Expansion Team was released in 2001, led by the Alchemist-produced single Worst Comes To Worst, which sampled from Mobb Deep's Survival Of The Fittest. Their third album, Neighborhood Watch, was released in 2004 and debuted at #55 on USA's Billboard 200 Albums Chart. In addition to the Kanye West-produced single, This Way, it also featured the single Who's Who?, which was also included as a track on the Need for Speed: Underground and SSX 3 soundtracks, and peaked at #35 on the UK Singles Chart.

In 2006, they returned with the single Back Again, produced by The Alchemist. The trio's fourth album, 20/20, debuted on February 21, 2006.

In 2007 they released The Release Party. This package included a feature-length documentary on DVD as well as EP featuring new songs and remixes. The film, released through Decon, is a celebration of the release from their contract with Capital.
