Gather all my forces all together rally round
Listen to the drummer talking; listen to the sound
Ambush (ambush) -- battle's going down
All types of warfare, defending the crown, c'mon and
Gather all my forces all together rally round
Listen to the drummer talking; listen to the sound
Ambush (ambush) -- battle's going down
Can hit you from every angle, results can be astounding
It could be a tangle in which during the verse that you spit
You threw a name in that shit you ain't have no business with
Soon as it's off of your lips somebody tellin' this chick
He heard the words and gets pissed righteously righteous and this
Now maybe you could just slip
Or maybe you figured that in a battle you could whip him lickity-split
But either way upon that fateful day he bum-rushes you --
Busted! Ambush! You could say you've been hit, now

Ambush (ambush) -- battle's going down
Can hit you from every angle, results can be astounding
It could be you hadn't thought ahead to the feeling of the dread
And the tension in the situation steadily increasing
Full steam ahead only difference is instead
You predicted the events that constricted inchin' in on
Your confidence and all your confidants have
Heard about the verbal murder worded on some mix tapes
By your enemies somehow, somewhere they gonna sting you
Reachin' for some sweet shit and caught a bees' nest now
They swarmin' mean, aggrevated team, got ya scared
Panicky decisions made in haste with short-sightedness sLike guerilla tactics -- ambushed! you can say you've been hit, now

Can hit you from every angle, results can be astounding
It could be you figured you could take on Lateef and the Chief
In the beef it was something you could chew on
Or bring it too wrong, we too strong
Got cuts that can lay you down like a new lawn
Or underneath it, so avoid the putfall
Cause the Truth Speaker got the gall to crush all competitors
Or better still catch you flat-footed
Oh no! didn't think that it could be so
Keep you out of sight until the timing was right and
Explode! strike the first blow!
Sink your battleship, you've been torpedoed! oh lord!
Watch your poker face bluff fold
Just quit, cause this is maroons that you fuck with
Ambush -- you could say you've been hit
