[Intro (Overlapped with Bridge 1): Akrobatik and Mr. Lif]
Mr. Lif: Weapons Lif to Akrobatik, over. Here’s the command for us to land. Listen, the tanks at the brinks. Take your vocals to the air to start up a bomb scare. You clear? I’m out of here
Akrobatik: No need to worry, Lif. I got everything under control

[Verse 1: Akrobatik]
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Whether Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marines, your whole
Armed forces couldn't stop this one-man team. You can't
Detect the effect of what my words'll do to ya
The effect of my text is similar to thermonuclear
War. This style is type militant raw, holding
The audience prisoner in ways you never saw
I’ll run through your whole outfit without flaw
The outlaw, type of kid you're proud to shout for
It's funny how the good guy now becomes the villain
Money has become God and all squads are illing. I'm
A hundred-and-two years old at the tricentennial, chilling
If not, an intricate plot will be my feeling
Rough, rugged, raw still values I'm instilling
And, until then, hoping to lower the rate of killing
Years from my demise, you will see that my plan is still in
Implementation—it'll come in the form of activists
Sent to fix nations. For now, listen to Ak’ and just
Represent your station, spot, domain, or lo-
-cation, but understand we from the same rotation
Good versus Evil—both nations at war
This style is type militant raw (Raw, raw, raw)
[Interlude 1: Mr. Lif]
Aight, fuck that. It’s time to bring in the heavy artillery

[Verse 2: Akrobatik]
Yo, this is
The illest war recorded—from Glory to Soldier Story
Organizing a regime to leave your team gory. They can't
Hack it, so I'm strapping on my Full Metal Jacket so as
To bomb the population in the upper tax bracket
So we can uplift these inner-city sanctions
And once my message cranks in, bring the tanks in
And then I'm bombing from an aircraft carrier
Final Fantasy Tactics back to Space Harrier
In other words, new schools are old. Check my smart bomb
Or check my triple-W-dot-Akrobatik-dot-com
And check my plan of attack for world dominance
It ain’t no over-the-top, hate shit. Just common sense
I'm intense beyond your definition
Blow a million heads up without no ammunition
Or pistol. Just this New England Patriot missile
To explode your frame, leaving no remains but your gristle
I get respect, 21-gun salute
Got many rhyme philosophies but none pollute
The brain. I spiritually massage you to the core
This style is type militant raw (Raw, raw, raw)
