[Chorus]
We came and we conquered, they prayin to Poppa
They claimin they want to; they really dont want to
You aint maimin a monster so dont bother with offers
Till the day that I die, I aint steppin aside for one of you
We came and we conquered, they prayin to Poppa
Hilltop, Hilltop
They claimin they want to; they really dont want to
Hilltop, Hilltop
You aint maimin a monster so dont bother with offers
Hilltop, Hilltop
Till the day that I die, I aint steppin aside for one of you
Hilltop, Hilltop
Check
When I start breathin heavily, I scar the beat and melody
They said that were dreamin, we keep reachin till we leavin heavenly
The key to freedoms said to be release and leave the memory
Think you offended me? Please, with critics like these who needs an enemy?
Indeed a breed of pedigree beast unleashin speech telepathy
Here to bleed the industry of its diseased and evil effigy
Demons, thievin, greed and revelry, we in need and seekin remedy
But it seem to stay ten feet ahead of me like a centipede
Im a train upon a track; Im a flame upon a match
Aint strayin from my place, I want my face upon the map
Im the weight upon your back; Im a razor on your lap
We came to conquer, stage and opera, fade it onto black
Now hush, hear the voice, so addicted to the
Rush to fill the void, dismissin everything we love
To feel joy, build it up then we
Crush, kill, destroy
[Chorus]
Oi, oi, oi, oi
I go bananas every time, mind blown Nirvana, Nevermind
They need some ketamine to calm us, harness the darkness every line
Till I been enlightened, Im leavin em terrified
Like Bin Laden, been hidin under their bed every night they go beddy-bye
Fat as the fattest Federline, fat as that cat post-Brittney
Madness, that is a friend of mine, rappers get mashed so quickly
War comes, hear the roar from the raw drums, beat your poor son just from the boredom
Jump up, but youre stunned, dumbstruck, youre done like Young Buck post-Fifty
We claw at the morons and pour on the soothin hooks on heaters
Like them pourin the Boron on the core on the shore of Fukushima
They adore the recordings and we lordin it over them
Think were jokin? Then were going door to door with some Dobermans
No DMX, they thinkin they got me pegged like BMX
But aint seein T or X, Briggs, Hons, Debris or Vents
We the best, no Khaled
We the best like Ali, Muhammad
[Chorus]
Rattling the keys—rattling the keys
Rattling the keys to the kingdom
Let me tell you what its all about
Turn this underground rap thing to my kingdom
[Chorus]

[Verse 1: Suffa]
Two sheets to the wind in a taxi
Two feet to the wind in the backseat (Two feet)
Two beeps to the car in front of us
Or one of us ending up wrapped round the chassis (These rhymes)
Thinking ‘bout these rhymes, and what they gave me
Sounds out this world, but a microphone and (Microphone)
Two turntables saved me
Took me round the world and bought me a home and (They know)
I’ve seen all these other crews bank too (I see you)
Not knowing all the ways people helped ‘em
Might not ever get a damn thank you
But they’re sure ‘nough gonna get a you’re welcome (Youre welcome)
Matter fact, I ain’t leaving (No)
I was here first and I don’t believe em (No)
I was here bursting, listening to Primo and Chino and Thirstin
And missing out on being there for people in person (Im sorry)
Cause we don’t sleep when we’re working
We don’t bleed when we’re hurting ([?])
We wear our heart on our sleeve and I’m certain (Come on)
That we’ll feel the burden till we call it curtains, you feel me?
Do you feel me?
This that
Light inside the core that can blind with its force
It’s the writing on the wall; light it up on the porch
It’s 1994, five mic’s in The Source
It’s a mighty; mighty roar from the crowd and of course, it’s
This
Do you feel me?
[Chorus: Suffa]
Went from going through quotes in the liners
To being known from the shows on the fliers
Playing packed rooms, heading to the back room
To cool down my face with some ice from the rider
Looking out to a crowd full of lighters
And the day those lights don’t inspire us
You’ll see me walking out
I’m a ghost, I’m gone
[Verse 2: Pressure]
Two sheets on a surface of water
Loose-leaf writing worthless and torn up
If I could do these words justice
You’d see how much it’s worth that I fought for
Every kid that never got one mention
Every little bit of love or affection
I’m done with pretending the sun is descending
And all good things must come to an ending
Cause I swore to the day this is
Nothing more than a flawed entertainment biz
And if I walk away with nothing well let me tell you something
That’s fucking more than I came here with
Feel me? (Im gone)
Do you feel me? (Im gone)
And I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t grateful
For my life for my friends and for the faithful
It’s been a ride but there’s been a few times
That I’d thought I’d lose sight when the effort was so painful
But rap gave me such inspired dreams
In fact maybe touched my life when things
Got a little crazy and nobody would pay me
The ends that plainly justified the means
At last I can see we’ve all been blind
It’s hard to believe that all this time
That I wore my heart on my sleeve for this art and the scene
Gonna be hard when I leave that all behind
You feel me?
Do you feel me?
[Chorus (Extended): Suffa] x 2
[Bridge: Pressure & Suffa]
Low winter sun, light the dawn in gold
Im a ghost, Im gone
Though when it’s done night is on us all
Im a ghost, Im gone
Nowhere to run, writings on the wall
Im a ghost, Im gone
So when it come, rise before we fall
Im a ghost, Im gone
Low winter sun, light the dawn in gold
Im a ghost, Im gone
Broken and done dying on us all
Im a ghost, Im gone
Nowhere to run, writings on the wall
Im a ghost, Im gone
So when it comes, rise, rise, before we fall
[Chorus: Suffa]
Went from going through quotes in the liners
To being known from the shows on the fliers
Playing packed rooms, heading to the back room
To cool down my face with some ice from the rider
Looking out to a crowd full of lighters
And the day those lights don’t inspire us
You’ll see me walking out
