pass the hand grenade

eric b. & rakim

pass the hand grenade

it's gonna blow 'cause i took out the pin

detach the detonator

data send

programmed wit protons

eqipped wit predicates

electrons and elements just fit

your pronoun hits the ground and that's that

hit the floor like a meteor so get back

commas

punctuation marks separate

it sparks

follow the course in to avoid getting sharked

more volts than a lightning bolt: handle with care!

i'm far from fragile

warfare won't tear

i'm armed and dangerous

trained for combat

let off rounds and they won't just bomb back

explosions i made to invade your parade-

your weak beats' decay 'till they can't get played!

wrong elements in the mic

they get sprayed

pass the hand grenade

after the stage gets warm

i heat it up

the crowd gets charged

i speed it up

they couldn't get warm

gimme a cut

the rhyme gets good

so eat it up

food for thought until your thoughts is sore

fill up a colosseum

i can serve them all

bake another plate

and cook it far from raw

and if your overweight

then here's some more. 'cause every dish i make tastes great and

plus filling

if i sold a third of my rhymes

i make a killing

get the salt and pepper from the maid

get the blood off the blade

pass the hand grenade

if you try this

your response is tonsilitis

i'm leaving authors and writers with arthritis;

you got the slightest ideas

i got the brightest

here's the lightest

so clear

it's out of sight

it's

darkness

from the darkness

came the light

the night is the time for ra to recite it. educated

but complicated style

for all the biters

i'm shutting rappers up like midas

i got the force of a turbo porsche

you get lost in the sauce and then thrown off course

you can't destroy the decoys so detour!

no sense of direction

so what'cha speed for?

you wouldn't of never made it

how many styles have i created?

so many rhymes i bust

ya frustrated

then the mic will self sestruct

you'll get sprayed!
