PUNK TACTICS Lyrics

[Intro: Brae]
Yo, yo, yo
If you don't shut your mouth, I'ma shut it for you, punk

[Chorus: Brae, Joey Valence & Brae & Joey Valence]
Hit ya (Hit ya) with the (With the) punk (Punk) tactics
Hit ya (Hit ya) with the (With the) punk (Punk) tactics
Hit ya (Hit ya) with the (With the) punk (Punk) tactics
Hit ya– Hit ya with– with the– with the punk tactics

[Verse 1: Joey Valence & Brae]
Hit you with the hard punk tactics
Bankrolls come straight for the assets
No games, no throw, won't pass it
Pick you up, spit you out like Jurassic
Oh, known for the rigmarole
We kick pros, stub toes, I suppose you might know
Hit the block, then you flock
Time's up, now you 'bout to get clocked (Aye)
Spicy like pepper, one-two stepper
Laid back, motivated money go-getter
Never felt better, write me lovе letters
Shootin' out the spikе chain, Megadeth tether
Get over here like Scorpion
Put you to sleep, Kevorkian
Should I assist ya, or do you get the picture?
If you don't budge I'ma gonna have to
[Chorus: Brae, Joey Valence & Brae & Joey Valence]
Hit ya (Hit ya) with the (With the) punk (Punk) tactics
Hit ya (Hit ya) with the (With the) punk (Punk) tactics
Hit ya (Hit ya) with the (With the) punk (Punk) tactics
Hit ya– Hit ya with– with the– with the punk tactics

[Verse 2: Joey Valence & Brae]
Yo, the laces loose and fists tight
I never lose a fist fight
Son, I've been up all night
If I'm gonna do it, then I'm gonna do it right
B to the R to the A to the E
F what you think, I'ma stay G
H is for hot, 'cause that's what I be
I, J, K, I'm cold like Slurpee

Ooh, goddamn, I drop bombs
I was born with the brains and the brawn
I am the king and you're just a pawn
Who's got the high ground now, Obi-Wan?
Alphabet rhymes like chicken noodle soup
Two-door Bimmer, pick you up in the coupe
Shootin' for the hoop, jiggy on the loose
Shark mentality like my name Bruce

[Bridge: Brae & Joey Valence]
Hit ya– Hit ya with– with the– with the punk tactics
Hit ya– Hit ya with– with the– with the punk tactics
Hit ya– Hit ya with– with the– with the punk tactics
Ahh!
[Chorus: Brae, Joey Valence & Brae & Joey Valence]
Hit ya (Hit ya) with the (With the) punk (Punk) tactics
Hit ya (Hit ya) with the (With the) punk (Punk) tactics
Hit ya (Hit ya) with the (With the) punk (Punk) tactics
Hit ya– Hit ya with– with the– with the punk tactics
Hit ya (Hit ya) with the (With the) punk (Punk) tactics
Hit ya (Hit ya) with the (With the) punk (Punk) tactics
Hit ya (Hit ya) with the (With the) punk (Punk) tactics
Hit ya– Hit ya with– with the– with the punk tactics
