Lyrical Crime Nation (HU) - ... Lyrical Crime Nation (HU) - This is West / Ez West I blind like a ray of light from the sky This is the lyrical Nesta educating style Just like a true teacher there is magic between the lines Getting rid off the bitches all nasty as a beehive Open your ears Remember these This is a perfect pair Angyalföld Józsefváros The lyrical magician is not harmful to your health Here is L. C. N. the Rap palette seller Ah, I am not afraid I don’t take I give, I am Nesta, for me poison is no risk, If you compete with me you wont even touch the ball, If you make a trap you will be the one who falls. WE are on the same board shoveling together with LCN My rap goes into you ear like the violin melodies of the cricket, Hiphop is my religion, selective is my detection No thanks I want no cheap crap, theres enough of it we all know, man. W west side gangster boogie Come on shake your but baby woogie, Let the panties slide down W versus to the sky, This is west coast all bitches on their knees cry, w west side killah flow All rascals on our sides they dig our show, Smoking Joe W up to the sky, This is west coast all sparrows step aside. My text is for all the no name bums, I interrogate them all when the time comes, Prof Joint is sharing with you his brains If you don’t listen plague will be your faith, You don’t need to be fast just listen to what I say, I am the essence here and that is what I’ll remain, Now, I mix the text and shoot my bullets, I pull your intestines out of you lifeless body men, The 8 is a wildening place, What you doing here you head is fairy slave, My district is forever, I kill for it whenever, You get lost here I spit between you eyes we’re L. C. N. get it, curse for those who can’t name it, We cover you with our narcotic magic Enjoy the moment you’ll get no more chanting Even if you think this is more than tragic. W west side gangster boogie Come on shake your but baby woogie, Let the panties slide down W versus to the sky, This is west coast all bitches on their knees cry, w west side killah flow All rascals on our sides they dig our show, Smoking Joe W up to the sky, This is west coast all sparrows step aside. Our style is explosive like petrol it’s exploding, I march ahead while the cheap crap’s eroding You head knocks, knick-knock who knocked I impair the door to the house I burst in your door and you bones grouse You eat the text my blurring out my mouth, Your jaw drops and falls out from your pants down south, Don’t rap ‘cause you are shit, hush hush hush The birds are singing you are crushed You will not be saved by faith, When I watch your show it makes me ache, Here is L.C.N. Bursting like a volcanic mountain, You melt away like lava, you’re plain as a soda fountain. If you don’t feel the rhythm why do you even try, We release our album and that will be fast, It will be free but you can buy it from us, Quit the microphone and that will be a real plus. W west side gangster boogie Come on shake your but baby woogie, Let the panties slide down W versus to the sky, This is west coast all bitches on their knees cry, w west side killah flow All rascals on our sides they dig our show, Smoking Joe W up to the sky, This is west coast all sparrows step aside. Whose teaching who let me teach you Sparrows not to stop chit-chatting about my crew , This is lyrical flow all critics should shut Just run you c&(*ser bitch run run, Like a Phoenix awakens the killer brigade Even if you try you will not find a mistake It doesn’t matter if it east or west for us this is no test Need it or not I will still do it from protest, Come on, Hands up let me see the w, Where the cheap stuff comes in we all knew, There is no ghetto any longer, only a legend behind the legends You cannot be a celebrity, this is reality, we cannot pretend The policeman is not a real bitch, just a simple looser, The problem of the 8th is the too many traitors, note what I am saying like a chronicler My text shocks you isn’t this ironical. W west side gangster boogie Come on shake your but baby woogie, Let the panties slide down W versus to the sky, This is west coast all bitches on their knees cry, w west side killah flow All rascals on our sides they dig our show, Smoking Joe W up to the sky, This is west coast all sparrows step aside.
