S.O.S. lyrics
by Raekwon
[Intro: Inspectah Deck]
Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight
Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight
Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight
Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight
Another mission, Street Life, gun talk, Sir I
[Verse 1: Inspectah Deck]
Yo, don't push me, because I'm close to the edge
Living on this thin line, I Know the Ledge
Allegience I pledge strictly to my comittee
Way above the law, we soar the inner city
My crime pays, deep in the metro, nines blaze
Shorties watching plus adopting my ways
In the PJs, the heat blaze and beats raid
Can't see the cage but can't leave the Streets of Rage
[Verse 2: Street Life]
It's a Shoot On Sight affair, warfare prepared
Arm yourself beware, hardware tear
Through your flesh and bones bear, witness stand clear
Flash a Wu-sign to see if my comrades is in here
P.L.O. began this, 99 bananas
Wu extravaganza, cop scanners and guns
A S.O.S., prepare for the slug fest
Unusual Suspect disconnect your outfit
It's a dead end street, I play for keeps release
Shots through your fleece, retreat, delete you from the crime spree
[Chorus]
Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight
Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight
When you got beef with one time, S.O.S.
When you standin on the front line, S.O.S.
n*ggas wanna steal your sunshine, S.O.S.
Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight
When it comes time to do or die, S.O.S.
For the five-oh that brutalize, S.O.S.
Before you try suicide, S.O.S.
Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight
[Verse 3: Street Life]
Street chronicle, wise words by the abominable
High honourable rap quotables phenomenal
Seniority kid, I speak for the minority
Ghetto poverty f*ck the housing authority
Not to be idolized, I deal with grand larceny
Money laundering, auto theft and armed robbery
99 Regiment torment your resident
Street intelligence child, Killa Hill pedestrian
Sucker for love-ass, n*ggas catch a gay-bash
Slim-Fast from the gun blast, burn a eyelash
The S-T-R-double-E-T own a Desert E
Keep it closely, I feed off envy and foul energy
Your best friend's your worst enemy
Thug therapy until they bury me
It's do or die tonight, shoot out a street light, bleak life
Aim at your windpipe, squeeze tight
[Verse 4: Inspectah Deck]
In the parking lot, parked in a dark spot
The specialist with one shot been at the drop
Your Highness INS, darts catch your body
Feds got me on watch with nothing yet to charge me
I strike quick, moving on the night shift
Rolling with those who bear the same likeness
Where I come from the blast make your ears go numb
Trust no one 'cause murderers range old to young
And death don't discriminate to choose your fate
Shot with hypodermic sword with the trey-eight
Gotta hold your weight, there's no escape from the mayhem
I'm living for now but tryna make it to the a.m
Creeping in the hallways, we always on paro'
Calico crept close to hold the cash flow
The neighbourhood watch, the skunks in my sock got me rocked
But keep my eyes on the shot Glock
[Chorus]
Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight
Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight
When you got beef wit one time, S.O.S.
When you standin on the front line, S.O.S.
n*ggas wanna steal your sunshine, S.O.S.
Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight
When it comes time to do or die, S.O.S.
For the five-oh that brutalize, S.O.S.
Before you try suicide, S.O.S.
Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight
Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight
Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight
Shoot 'em on sight, sight, sight
