Lyrics for I Against I

I-ya I against I Flesh of my flesh And mind of my mind Two of a kind but one won't survive My images reflect in the enemies eye And his images reflect in mine the same time I-ya, I-ya I against I Flesh of my flesh And mind of my mind Two of a kind but one won't survive Right here is where the end gon' start at Conflict, contact 'n' combat Fighters stand where the land is marked at Settle the dispute about who the livest 3 word answer Whoever survive this Only one of us can ride forever So you and I can't ride together Can't live or can't die together All we can do is collide together So I skillfully apply the pressure Won't stop until I'm forever... one! A door step where death never come Spread across time til my time never done And I'm never done Walk tall, why ever run? When they move if I ever come? Bad man never fret the war, tell'em come General we have the stock, the mad fire burn I-ya I against I Flesh of my flesh And mind of my mind Two of a kind but one won't survive My images reflect in the enemies eye And his images reflect in mine the same time I-ya, I-ya I against I Flesh of my flesh And mind of my mind Two of a kind but one won't survive Survive (x16) Reign supreme in your you-N-I V-E-are-S-E with the sharpness Narrow row building no space for partners No space for drivers, no space for walkers No space regardless Your on my path then get off it Hardheaded and unresponsive Get they lives put on target with harshness Come with the canons sparkin' they darken Who am I? one man squadron Ma stir the fire this time that'd snatch your tomorrow The thousand yard spear that'll pierce through your armor You can get it on right now if you want to But when ya front 9 get marched through I warned you You know who forever belong to I-ya, I-ya I against I Flesh of my flesh And mind of my mind Two of a kind but one won't survive My images reflect in the enemies eye And his images reflect in mine the same time I-ya, I-ya I against I Flesh of my flesh And mind of my mind Two of a kind but one won't survive My images reflect in the enemies eye And his images reflect in mine, survive Survive (x16)
