Instinct - Tha Mexakinz

Born on the 4th of February in '74

Capital I-Man Aquarius arriving

Survive till '95, a lot shit’s changed

There’s slow and fast lane, then there’s deranged

It’s insane, people want it, people flaunt it

They murdered with thugs, decided to bust a move on it

A matter of give or take and break burning elevation

Ignite the flight by higher learning, concerning

Natural abilities like think

Motions first reactions on instinct

Like blinks of an iron in the clink, do or die

Survival or the know how seeps through my third eye

Mentality closed reality before clutch

Radar radius thus far it’s too much

Be operating two-four/seven

Try to hit me with the next, I’ll be ahead ten seconds

When I’ve been lost

Felt I’ve been crossed

Not too soon but before I just can’t think

In a blink, I listen to my first INSTINCT

When nothing feels fine

Pop, pop, goes my nine

Not too soon but before I just can’t think

I stick with the INSTINCT

Woke up on a Saturday afternoon about two

With the hangover trying to clog my view

I’ve got the remedy, damn fool, last night was the bomb

Out with the C.B. crew ALL NIGHT LONG!!!

At the party capacity packed and

Everybody seemed to be cool like that

Pass the J’s as we blaze freestyling in a circle

MC’s ripping skills till their faces turn purple

All kinds of passionalities was blending in and

Definitely in the house was THA MEXAKINZ

DJ knew what to play, music was thumping

Females in the house put you in the mood for humping

Around like Bobby I’m Brown with «My Prerogative» to light up

The spliffs and blunts cause once it’s how we lived

I admit it, I drank and overdid it

Two thirty in the morning, something told me to quit it

Congregated, my crew then stabbed out full of brew

Rolled up a leño for the thirty minute cruise

Dropped me off at my house, now we in the present stage

Got today’s newspaper, looking at the front page

«A Drive-By At Three In The Morning

Kills One», at the same party that I felt the warning

That coulda been me or my homies on the headline

But I guess INSTINCT told me it wasn’t bedtime

When I’ve been lost

Felt I’ve been crossed

Not too soon but before I just can’t think

I listen to my first INSTINCT

When nothing feels fine

Pop, pop, goes my nine

Not too soon but before I just can’t think

I stick with the INSTINCT

Well, of course tonight, it’s the night I’m out with aggression

After what I read that led me to learn a lesson

So I grabbed my nine double M and extra clip

It can’t be headline: «Capital I-Man Just Slippped»

Dipped down the avenue gotta get my crew

Bumped the oldies, got reunited with the homies

No room for kharma deep in my Aerostar van

Swinging shit like my name was Tarzan

And can’t fumble, soon as we hit this jumble

Tree felt like «Me was George Of The Jungle»

Cruising down the boulevard about the speed limit

Looking for schtookie thinking about digging in it

Wait a minute!

I think I smell bacon right behind me

Which reminds me, you can’t trust a pig in the '90s

Try to find thee automobile stolen

I guess because I’m Mexakin and deep is how I’m rolling

In the rear view I see them run a make on my plates

Couldn’t find shit I’m legit but I’mma stick to

Fuck with me seeing that I’m clean as a whistle

Except for the moment I’m high and got my pistol

From behind the swin accelerates right up

Will they harrass us, luckily they roll right passed us

It doesn’t look good this spot fills too hot with cops

Back to the hood, back to the block, cause!

When I’ve been lost

Felt I’ve been crossed

Not too soon but before I just can’t think

I listen to my first instinct

When nothing feels fine

Pop, pop, goes my nine

Not too soon but before I just can’t think

I listen to my first INSTINCT

When I’ve been lost

Felt I’ve been crossed

Not too soon but before I just can’t think

I stick with the INSTINCT

When nothing feels fine

Pop, pop, goes my nine

Not too soon but before I just can’t think

I stick with the INSTINCT!
