4:30 AM

(album: Overcast! - 1997)

[El-P:]
So Tootsie Roll the fuck back to your seat cause I don't like you

[Slug:]
Hey Spawn tell me a joke
Hahahahaha
Hey yo Spawn, what you doing?
Hahahaha!

[Slug:]
I sever heads just to sharpen my skills
Zoom in on brains like a John Carpenter kill
Surprise, that's the element, your confidence is delicate
Never recuperates, I leave you mute and celibate
Break the victim down to a jelly consistency
The brain twisted spits, now tell me who gets with me
I felt they were listening and the smell of fear amps me
Sweet tooth, room full of candy wrappers, I get antsy
Mission activated, attention captivated
Vocals ring bring the so-called king on stage assassinated
You're nice, where you from?
That's the question I ask
Distraction got struck pull their heart out their ass
The blast is nuclear, when the crew appears
So seek shelter, the only helpful advice
Is that you should steer clear of the exits
I take reps and make messes
Broken, when the spot closes we're off to breakfast
Invested breath, skills, adrenaline
Refill the gut then to my hut to build with the pen again
From Hennepin to Lexington the first section conquered
Laid seeds in the soil, peep the props and honor

[Spawn: ]
It's 4:30 AM, do you know where your head's at?
It's 4:30 AM, do you know where your head's at?
It's 4:30 AM, do you know where your head's at?
It's 4:30 AM, do you know where your head's at?

[Slug:]
Can't expect everyone to see shit the way I see it
Can't expect anyone to be dope the way I be it
So be it, Atmosphere leaks through like sunbeams
To snap you like a bungee when the Sayers takes the country
Hungry, and this emptiness makes me grumpy
Take an emcee, stuff him between some bread, cheese and lunch meat
It's just a snack, rely on Ant to thrust a track
Into the mind as I slip behind the whack and crush his back
Must react, if we don't we have no work
So I stomp them, let his team remove remains up off the AstroTurf
Now who's eager to be made a believer?
It wakes the dead when I shake a rival's head until his teeth hurt
Knee jerk, when I yank your brain into a fever
And melt the weak channels in your receiver
You need to keep your beaver in your pants
Fuck your leisure and your plans
I wear a Van Halen T-shirt
Bust a stance and crush your plans
It's all inside the flow's balance, we figure well
Your style has the personality of a Speak and Spell
You need development to reach the plateau I'm at
So take a fat step back so I don't mistake you as a bat

[Spawn:]
It's 4:30 AM, do you know where your head's at?
It's 4:30 AM, do you know where your head's at?
It's 4:30 AM, do you know where your head's at?
It's 4:30 AM, do you know where your head's at?
