When I sit down and write and recite for the mic I hold 
Make sure my beats are loud, and bold, and Cold 
187, that is my name, makin it simple and plain 
Here to rearrange and change 
The things that I didn't do in the past 
Don't be surprised when you got a shotgun up your [bad word] 
Perpetrators, that one was just for you 
I'm gonna leave ya in your seat remaining without a clue 
Glued to my style like a fiend on coke 
But if you say the wrong thing, I wash your mouth out with soap 
Dope is not the answer 
No, I'm not a Cancer 
No, I'm not a hero or zero 
But a Leo in stereo 
And this is not a demo 
K-oss and Go Mack be cuttin the flex tempo 
Fast 
(Now I got a murder rap) 
(Cause a brother like me said, well...) (4x) 
 
Yo, fingerprints ain't nothin without the murder weapon 
Keep steppin 
Homicide tried to sweat, but we let em have it 
You can see they fear through they tears 
Treat em like Robanes and give em some relief 
 
I feel action speaks louder than words and verbs 
And adjectives, I live the life, the given gift 
Not who's first, second or third 
Not he said or she said, or what you heard, nerd 
Cause when you live like that, your life is mangled 
In other words your life is all tangled 
Up, I'm not a sucker, always go for mine 
Powerlord that's hard from the start, and we will always (climb) 
To the top as I seek and achieve 
Sometimes that's even higher than the others believe 
I'm not a doctor on a board, I don't have a degree 
Not arrogant, egotistical, I'm the epitome 
Re-take, recline, keep suckers in line 
Transform into another world as I recite these rhymes 
187, he's as hard as [bad word] 
And I don't have to brag about the size of my gun, son 
(Now I got a murder rap) 
(Cause a brother like me said, well...) (3x) 
 
Criminals don't use lyrics and define themselves as notorious 
Brothers gotta learn hip-hop anger rages inside themselves 
Your ??? will never resist to my contact K-oss and the homie 
 
187 breakin back, backbone of my group 
Fat kid in my posse, and I'm gettin loose 
Cause I'm takin out posses, causin bodily harm 
Makin moves to improve as I begin to brainstorm 
I'm not inferior, not takin no [bad word] 
Last sucker tried to dis me, cold got his neck slapped 
Cause Power's my name, sometimes I'm insane 
And if I get too mad, I have to rearrange 
The position as a MC, that's the way it should be 
The way I get over, I use terminology  [bad word]  redemptive 
That's evidently not related to the style that you hear everyday 
B-boy destroyin a toy, employin 
While the other suckers are depressed, I'm enjoyin 
What I'm doin, [bad word] any insult of my position 
Tell em KM.- they on a mission 
 
They on a mission 
They keep wishin you [bad word] off 
187, you're a menace in your own mind 
So take heed and proceed with caution 
When he rhymes 
(Now I got a murder rap) 
(Here's a murder rap to keep ya dancin) 
(Now I got a murder rap) 
(Cause a brother like me said, well...)
