Pharoahe Monch - Assassins Lyrics






[Pharoahe Monch & Jean Grae:]
In 2013, the World Government placed sanctions against freethinking individuals in order to force people to adhere to one way of life
An independently funded organization called poh pih evas nac ew dna eerf rof cisum gnidaolnwod gnikcuf pots hired one hundred assassins to infiltrate the headquarters where files were kept
Of these one hundred, ninety-seven were captured, tortured, and executed
Only three remained
The third of which was said to own an arsenal that would rival an entire city's police force
The second was rumored was to be able to move throughout space and time And the first... (One)

[Jean Grae:]
Fasten your seat belts for the last of the three assassins on earth
The first flashing her purse where a heat stealth
They call me Jean McCoy, beast in me employed, deploy deplorable
Through audible destructive actions, attractive decoy
Then pass it to Troy after I'm passing your life over
He'll deliver it through river Styx, Hades, I'm cold, deliberate, ladies
My foes limited, pray me some praise (whispering)
Stay on your toes villains, it's Grae and your day's whittling
Blistering lines packed in six, stick to spine
Wracked with a sick mind, trapped in thick bitch frame
Drug you with strychnine in nine drinks, you drunk, and it's my
Kidney, you dickbrain, I'm just itching to slit veins
Stitch lines, Rick James, fuck yo lives, sip brains, bitches
Niggas, kick rocks, or kick rhymes, it's to the pain
Liquor riddled liver, sieve in it, sipping it like Capri Sun
Ignint as ever, she's clever, equivalent be none
A ball breaker, call fakers out with passion
You got the gall, bastard, to brawl with the broad brashest
The ball's in your court, pass it - but warning - fall faster
Than asses with age slack on the back of a Kardashian
The walls crash in, you all on the floor gasping
The gas pour in the corridor, racking your jaws, blacking out
Catch Grae backing out the back door, cackling
Still make it back to the bar for last call

(Two)

[Pharoahe Monch:]
They ask me why I'm highly regarded, this God body probably
Monch is a mixture of Marcus Garvey, Miles Davis and Bob Marley (radical)
Never skateboard slang like gnarly, more like:
Weed in my whip on the way to get top like Charles Barkley
You are hardly prepared to spar with a marksman - spark me
I'm Gambit with the ace of spades, a master in archery
Vehicular, particularly the vernacular
Specifically the fit so when I spit it it's spectacular and accurate
When I attack I'm more legend than Acura
Flip Bloomberg the bird, bitch, more blood than Blacula
More Crip than cryptic scriptures encrypted with backwards vernacular
Plus sicker than most like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction
I am that nigga for real
Per capita smacking the next rapper that uses the term swag or thereafter
These three assassins get to ass whipping
Prepare to for a professional ass that can
Shape shift, spit, hollow tip clips mainly
Sick, ain't he - mind control
Make you shoot your best friend in the face, Dick Cheney
My life is like a documentary film depicted in black and white
Flick's grainy (geronimo)
I'm on Guantanamo Bay taking pics in a Captain Morgan pose
With my left foot on a pile of detainees screaming
"We are renegades!"
Fuck you. Pay me

[Pharoahe Monch & Jean Grae:]
[Jean Grae:] Two. Where the fuck... no. Where the fuck is Three?
[Pharoahe Monch:] I know. I know. He's gonna be here. He gave me his word, trust me
[Jean Grae:] Yeah, but he does this every time
[Pharoahe Monch:] He's gonna be here, trust me
[Jean Grae:] He's gonna ruin this mission for us again
[Pharoahe Monch:] Look, here he comes now
[*car crash*]

[Royce Da 5'9":]
I be riding round with a stripper-slash-burlesque model
I make it pop like my cock in a Durex condom
I'm a opposite artist I find irony in going
From being like a stone in the grass to rocking the Garden
The same irony as going from fully automatic in the backyard
To having the whole machine behind me
I take my Australian bitches and show her some other thangs
She know my stroke is deadly so she gave me bloody brain
Don't try to get familiar, if I don't feel you in person
I'll flip the script and I'll accidentally kill you on purpose
The bad is what I'm flailing, I got so many furs
PETA gonna paint splash me when they see me no matter what I'm wearing
Your bitch about to open up, sniff some blow off of my dick
Guess you could say she on my coconuts
I'm on point like Chris Paul
You on point like an Atlantic City hooker that licks balls
I'm about to flip in this bitch like Dominique Dawes
And shut shit down like a car when it stalls
I am the deadliest rapper, you claiming that you flow like water
But really y'all niggas Evian backwards
Marshall hit the jackpot with this flow that I got
I know when I'm hot, it's my show to stop, holding my crotch
My whip cleaner than Amish men in honest ends
Two dimes with me like I'm a twin cause I'm a ten

[Pharoahe Monch:] Okay... I'm in

  41. S.... D....

    is it wrong if I'm all 3 assasins?

    S.... D....

    K.... E....

    More importantly, she's an MC.

  49. B.... B....

    Why only cos royce is one this everyones gotta talk about em? Royce has had a sick solo career without em and now with PRhyme aswell can we just agree that its a dope song?

    B.... B....

    Bob Bob no i cant agree sorry, ROYCE is the ONLY MC that could diss the shhhhh oughta em and d12 nobody should forget that so if someone shouts "eminems the best" i reply with: "royceim bodied him"

    B.... B....

    @Double minded scum none that's my point Royce is in the shadow of em but Royce could take on em if he wanted to

  50. S.... M....

    malandro que pankada é essa mano!!!

  51. E.... ....

    Royce had the best verse. Then Jean. Monch was the weakest, but killer track nonetheless.

    E.... ....

    are you serious?? No one equals Pharoahe!

    E.... ....

    @Edward Kennedy Pharoahe was mediocre here. I'm saying this as a big Monch fan.

    E.... ....

    Nah Monch took this one

    E.... ....

    All 3 verses kill, but it depends what you mean by "best." If you're ranking them by intensity, you'll get a very different order than if you're talking about lyricism. Personally I like creative flows and complex lyricism, so for me the order is: Pharoahe, Jean, Royce.

    E.... ....

    Jean grae had the most rhymes by far but less punchlines

  52. M.... ....

    Jean still the best!!!!

  53. d.... ....

    What What! Jean Grae is dope, for those who don't know, check out the Herbaliser tracks Mission: Improbable and Let It Go from the album Very Mercenary

    d.... ....

    +devious187 And then just check out Herbaliser anywho for some class tunes. 'Take London'

    d.... ....

    And after discovering Cappo from Take London, go and buy everything he's ever done especially Spaz the World and the Un:Programmable Raw EP.

    d.... ....

    devious187 thank you

    d.... ....

    devious187 she is so dope blk girl pain spoke to me and all her other 🔥 tracks

  54. K.... B....

    "Make you shoot your best friend in the face, Dick Cheney" God damn Pharoahe never disappoints, Royce Da 5'9 and Jean Grae also bodied this. Can't believe artists like this aren't more popular getting more views, watered down idiotic majority supporting some BS!

  55. S.... H....

    JEAN GRAE I LOVE YOU!

  56. X.... T....

    Canibus shoulda had a verse : (

    X.... T....

    it would have been dizastrous!! used to love his early stuff but he has lost it in a major way

    X.... T....

    Nah he's still got it

    X.... T....

    Jack Campbell exactly should've added Tech nine, Kiss, and Fabolous and Murda Mook.

    X.... T....

    Good he didnt have one because we wouldnt enjoy JG’s verse as much as we do with Bis obliterating the track

  57. X.... T....

    LAUREN HILL > Jean grae....sorry but its true!

    X.... T....

    lyrically Jean Grae is way better than Lauren don't get me wrong Lauren is a legend in her own right but Jeannie is a whole different level of MC

    X.... T....

    Respect YOUR opinion but Lauren's vocabulary CAN easily match Jean

    X.... T....

    It seems like you can'y make up your mind by your responses, but most stay on the fence with this. As much as I like Lauryn she was and is a much better singer. Everything is Everything is timeless, but is anything else on that level that wasn't her singing? Jean is a much better rapper. She was a grammy machine, from singing, but the Fugees - Score really wasn't that good. Good singles that blew up. Praz sucked too.

    X.... T....

    My Mind Been made Up since my first comment....Lauren

    X.... T....

    i agree... but jean right after!

  58. T.... I....

    Vehicular, particularly the vernacular
    Specifically the fit so when I spit it it's spectacular and accurate
    When I attack I'm more legend than Acura
    Flip Bloomberg the bird, bitch, more blood than Blacula
    More Crip than cryptic scriptures encrypted with backwards vernacular

    OUT.

    T.... I....

    Amazing rhyme schemes by one of the greatest flow rappers " PHAROAHE MONCHE " !

    T.... I....

    @Xavier Turner Monch

    T.... I....

    +Trippy Indigo Alliteration at its finest, hasn't blinded the absent minded or master minded

    T.... I....

    Goosebumps

  59. M.... ....

  67. A.... ....

    Jean grae destroyed this

    A.... ....

    Valor_Ariez and bahamadia and Jane doe

  68. M.... P....

    Lauren is tight, Charlie Baltimore is tight, Digga is tight, Kim is tight, Remmy Martin is tight, & if they leave Nikki alone forcong her to spit garbage she tight.

  69. D.... ....

    @ghetalion i bet that if Em stayed underground u would've said the same thing that u say about Pharoahe... u bitch ass nigga

    D.... ....

    @roycephantom4me If em stayed underground he'd just be another underground rapper nobody knows even in the underground

    D.... ....

    @Reverent Reign Eminem was always catching a listeners interest before Dre "looked passed" then signed him (Sorry had to lol) . Very few people or corporations(especially) wanted to give him a chance once realizing his skin condition. At his beginning to his prime Eminem was the one of the most lethal MCs if not the most lethal MC on the microphone. There is no way in hell that would go unnoticed if things went differently. He would have been as big as Tech N9ne most certainly. Jean Grae isn't that well known but best know I see her skill so I keep spreading the gospel.

    D.... ....

    @RomeDoggizzle
    I think he would have been where Jean Grae is now

    D.... ....

    +roycephantom4me lol, I like that you come back to shit talk me through two years because of a comment I can't even recall making. You might hurl all the insults you want at me, but atleast I have mastered basic English and using the reply button on YouTube. Which is more than anyone can say about you. Guess that gives an indication of the intelligence level of the average Eminem fan.

  70. A.... R....

    Jean Grae kills everything she's on, shit. 

  71. P.... A....

    DAMN SHAME THAT YOU MUST SELL OUT TO JINN TO BE SUCCESFUL!!! JEAN GREY IS THE BADDEST FEMALE RAPPER ON THE PLANET!!! I KNOW>>>>IM THE BADDEST MALE!!!!! I AINT GOIN TO HELL>>PHUKK YAWLL!!!

  72. Z.... ....

    Dont forget Lauryn Hill is still around. Dopest, rawest female MC alive...still. Respects to Jean Grae tho.

    Z.... ....

    ZenMasterT07 wrong

    Z.... ....

    l boogie is a step below jean...jean writes ALL her rhymes

  73. R.... R....

    Why the fuck isn't Jean Grae not on the radio?

    R.... R....

    fuck Radio thats why lol smdh n who s is this guy?

  74. B.... L....

    its your opinion and you should recognize it as such.

  75. E.... ....

    Well, it's the truth.

  76. B.... L....

    Well i disagree.

  77. E.... ....

    Sorry, I meant on the song, but Monch sounded off here. Royce bodied him.

    E.... ....

    Eziokilla9595 Not even close. I love Monch and Royce and Royce since 2014 arguably illest Alive along with Elzhi (Black thought also) but Royce was avg for his talent here. He stole that Evian water (naive) backwards like from the always criminally slept on super dope MC Juice from Chicago)

  78. B.... L....

    yes the owner of the creator of the album is the weakest link where people who were only on one song killed it.

  79. H.... ....

    This $hIt, $UCK$!!!!!

  80. i.... ....

    nah. she's better than him now

  81. T.... W....

    snow tha product and angel haze are wack as fuck, don't compare jean to them

  82. B.... P....

    Nonsense, Desperada, My Story, This World, Black Girl Pain (actually Kweli's song, but feat Jean). Nonsense might have the best verses of hers I've heard.

  83. C.... ....

    HIP HOP Lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  84. t.... ....

    I can honestly say that Pharoahe Monch is the greatest lyricist of all time

    t.... ....

    I second that.

  85. P.... P....

    Monch is hands down the most underrated MC of all time.

  86. P.... ....

    Jean Grae = The Female Talib Kweli

  87. n.... f....

    lauryn hill.

  88. G.... ....

    Jean went in, but Lauryn is on another level

  89. C.... S....

    Not even Lauryn Hill? Now that rap battle would be a real Rumble in the jungle.

  90. A.... A....

    sick!!!!!!!!!!!! monch killed it as allways

  91. t.... ....

    @01:55 P.Monch killed it!!!!!!!!!!

  92. #.... ....

    Only good female rapper:
