[Intro: MF Bash (AKA Bashton the Invizabul Mang)]
I met this kid
He seemed righteous and represented knowledge
Yeah, him and his brother, they was real smart
But then his brother died and he was taken in by a Grandmaster. but from what I hear, this kid Sambo was a snake, a rat
He stole shit and ran away to another state
Microchip bitch
[Verse 1: MF Grimm]
I donât Deep Fry FrendzâGrimm Reaper nuke âem
Hearts donât mend, brothers turned enemies
N***a, enemies, I eat them raw
N***a, MF Grimm is God of War
Parole done, see you on tour
Millions get paid, letâs see who make more
Master water âcause man is mostly made of it
Spit fire, consumed by flames, compete for oxygen
Freeze deepest of minds, then skate on it
Roast fireproof emcees with bad warranties
War is a part of me, prison hardened me
Demons try to murder me, pistols always pop at me
Lead convicts my flesh, but God pardons me
Revenge returned on descendants, so God part of me
Put yourself in Danger running with a Mouse
Metal turned to bracesâpunch you in your mouth
Zev Love X used to be merry
The Mask took control of you like Jim Carrey
Megalon, tap him in the jaw, knock it off him
M.I.C. got to put your mask in a coffin
Mos Def, De La Soul, Roots canât revive you
When the bullets start flying, whoâs gonna hide you?
Rhymesayers, Stones Throw, Nature Sounds signed you
Make peace with you? Zev, I tried to
[Chorus 1: MF Bash (AKA Bashton the Invizabul Mang)]
You can hide behind a mask but see-through like glass
Thought you was the truth, but your styleâs like ass
Cutthroat bitch-made, you got no class
Little black Sambo shouldnât talk trash
You can hide behind a mask but see-through like glass
Thought you was the truth, but your styleâs like ass
Cutthroat bitch-made, you got no class
Little black Sambo shouldnât talk trash
[Verse 2: MF MEZ (AKA Destroyah)]
Yeah, yo, midgets Into Crunk calling Monkeys In a Cage
Murderers In the Cut is fucking you up on stage
Tell âem about the time that Gunn punched you in the face
Basically, you was hating and then you ran away
You ainât a man, you a character
I bet that mask make you feel a lot scarier
âCause man-to-man is your DOOM like weâre parallels
M.I.C. could see you soon at your burial
Listen, Vicky, you not goons, you cartoons
Your hype man is not Grimm, thatâs not him
What you speak is not true, thatâs not you
Your teamâs weak, Iâll pop them, then pop you
Smog made your mask, Jet Jag made your name
M.I.C. gave you life, and we can take that shit away
[Verse 3: MF Grimm]
I didnât wanna get at youâyou know this is true
One thing that stopped me was Lord Dihoo
But now youâre being disrespectful to me and the crew
Now I gotta do what I got to do
M.J. did articles, she got your name hot
The mask was made for you by Lord Scotch
X-Ray gave you studio time when in town
Rodan and Megalon, them brothers held you down
Evil jinns had you paranoid like a clown
Jumped off stage and ran when Kong came around
We looked out for each other when you lived uptown
On the cover of the EP, but look at us now
Chess is life, we havenât played of late
But even on the cover, I put your ass in mate
Weâve been through so much, Zev, you was close to me
Used to come through your house, buy your ass groceries
I wrote the whole treatment to your MF video
With Adam Lough and Ricky âKidâ Scotchno
Hundred thousand dollar bail, got out, then I called you
Fired my attorney, you helped me get a lawyer
You took me in, let me stay out in Atlanta
Facing 15-to-life, we bounced out to Cali
You made sacrifices, recorded on the run
We bust our ass and got Ibylis done
I made a mistake, told the press you hold dough
I see now itâs my faultâthey didnât need to know
I apologized to you, I thought we let it go
B.B. Kings, New York, together did a show
But look at us now, once again, here we go
Money wasnât worth it, it turned us into foes
Whenever you had beef, your beef was mine
Iâll take a life for you, put mine on the line

[Verse 4: MF Grimm]
Doing songs with RZA? Thatâs funny shit
I remember you told me that he bit âTick, Tick...â
You said Ghost was wack, you didnât like his style
Two-faced and three-headed, bitch, Iâll pull your file
New Food poisoning, you Vomit for a while
You started some shit, now youâre sitting on a pile
Metal Fake, tin foil, walk the Green Mile
Just let it ride right now
[Hook 2: Samples with Scratches by DJ Crucial]
âYou love to hear the story again and againâ
âYou love to hear the story again and againâ
âYou love to hear the story again and againâ
