slicker than an oil spill is/
Slum Village forever alters the environment/
forcin' young guns into early retirement/
tire irons meant for hubs in Detroit/
makeshift billy clubs/
spill blood over the edge of the tub/
the tainted city, a gritty reality/
often death is the best eventuality/
no rest for the crestfallen angels/
resurrectin' the Past in spite of the dangers/
to the Present rapped in anger/
that's stranglin' attempts at Future betterment/
whether men understand it or not/
T3 & Baatin 'bout to blow up the spot/
Elzhi rounds out the Trinity/
by throwin' mud in ya eyes they'll help y'all see
