Jiu Jitsu Lyrics

[Intro]
Dilated... yeah... worldwide...

[Verse 1: Rakaa Iriscience]
Gracie veterano, old family first, fam
Taught the world to swing that double edged sword, it works, fam
BJJ from GJJ, like Kool Herc gave birth to what your DJ plays
But despite the lineage I will never be closed-minded
Refuse to see beyond the lines? You go blind
Rakaa travels the Tenth Planet, I flow free
I welcome on any mats, gi to no-gi
Though my branch traces close to the original tree
Roots sprout from the original seed
Water with blood, sweat and tears, spotlight with sunlight
That tree became a forest, vale tudo, done right
Then Royce dominated them all in one night
And Rickson hasn't been beaten in one fight
Flow with the go, Rener, Ryron and Ralek know
That to continue to win you must continue to grow
Let's go

[Hook: Eddie Bravo]
We did it mama, we did it
We did it for the love of the game
We did it mama, we did it
I did it for, I did it for (Jiu Jitsu!)
We did it mama, we did it
The game will never be the same
We did it mama, we did it
I did it for, I did it for (Jiu Jitsu!)
[Verse 2: Erick 'Campella' Cruz]
Straight of the dome, applying abundance
Look up to the sky, hide a little smile in my music
Never grown a custom to losing
Live and die for the love for this music
Campella flies when the times are the toughest and truest
Keep in mind when the universe gets aligned
When the remnants of this verse are injected into your spine
We're the evidence of this platform, we rock it all the time
Better than what we stand for the anchor and the lion
Straight slap on a choke if anybody provokes
I'm in it to win it, rep it for my fam and my folks
This ain't just rap, no man, this is murder he wrote
It's like making d's on the streets, if you're looking to cope
You can compound degree with the image of hope
Stuck in the file physics with falsified gimmicks
Rise or fall with it or try to ride with it
Your life ain't worth living if you ain't got vision
Come on

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Alex '4sakensoul' Alejandro]
Yo, it's a motherfucking alliance
The Tenth Planet rocking with Iriscience
Silencing all these idiots caught up in all their ignorance
Two clans fighting under the same banner
We all got love for this ground game and that's all that matters
And the balance, and the teachings of the grandmasters
Who try to master the system, that's what I'm after
And stay true to the craft, spark trees to relax
Old school miracle lyrical lacing this track
And I'm working the angles always sharp and precise, man
Back in the day when I was learning to rocking this mic
Paying homage to the classic shit
Dilated, undisputed heavyweights repping Los Angeles
And yeah, I do this for the 2-1-3
Historical flip, tell you how I rip that, G
So firing the hole, slip with the flow
High caliber rappers is here to shatter the fucking mode
[Hook]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
