LYRICS:

Verse 1:

Like rain with a hurricane, like a cut with pain
This is Innocent and Victim the name stays the same
Rappers out there, don't know nothing but lame
And they're ain't no one to blame but your whip and your chain
Yeah, I'm telling the truth, see I ain't got no beef
But you spent all your money buying gold for your teeth
Now, I'm a normal child with raps from the spirit
Rapping over beats so wild with a mic so you can hear it
This is how I make music, giving God Glory Be
This is how I do it now you little boys retreat
We coming with flames to try and make the world change
Like a candle in the rain trying to spark the flames

Chorus:

Yeah Innocent is back getting flack from the rap game
but who's to blame who likes getting burned by flames?

Yeah Victim is back getting flack from the rap game
but who's to blame who likes getting burned by flames?

Innocent is back getting flack from the rap game
we can't stay tame, cuz we've been burned by flames.

Victim is back getting flack from the rap game,
we can't stay tame, cuz we've been burned by flames

Verse 2: (Victim J)

(It's your boy, Victim J!)

Ha what?

All the little boys, out there running
Thinking they all slick (ha) devious and cunning
With their pants all low and they got them all sagging
Don't really care for all of that swagger
Don't like the new school
Cuz I be old school
It's better than new school
So it's all cool
Don't act like a fool
Don't break any rules
My line and hook, that's what makes you drool
Here's the tip this beat is the tool
Make ya sweat, make ya bump
Make this hit, gonn' make ya jump.
Rep for Yahweh, or hit the highway
Don't trust the by-ways, say why you looking sideways?
Just look up scripture and tradition,
So drop ya mics and make that your mission.

(Chorus)

Verse 3: (Innocent)

Uncut Diamondz, we're some veterans
And you ain't got no style just like manequins
Brother, don't throw a fit and get mad again
Cuz' I ain't got no beef just trying to make some sense
Sometimes I think my mics a match, my tongues a flame and my flow's propane
That's why I can't stay tame, cuz I ain't never been lame
And best avoid the current flames and do your best to avoid the pain
Because no matter what you do the truth always hurts
and no matter what you do the truth always works
And sometimes my flow my truly hurt
But it's the pain of growing up and the new rebirth
And it don't matter how much dough that you got here on earth
Cuz the last shall be first and the first shall be last
And I know you ain't the one who gonn' have the last laugh.

(Chorus)
