You’re in Shambles Lyrics

[Intro]
Check it out
1st to bat, steppin' up to the plate is...

[Verse 1]
I'm the monster comin' in closer, I'll roast ya'
Not never worried 'bout competition

Listen, I can twist men into pretzels, my jet skills can outrun
'Cause it's fun, I'm not done
One or even two could even try, It's not a even try
I'll leave 'em cleavin', why did you do it?
I'ma school kids and tease 'em and please 'em
For the treason, that's the reason I'ma squeeze 'em
Make 'em tell and make 'em dwell, they're not dead
I got lead, but I won't use it, I'll refuse it 'cause they're losin'
I'll be merciful, I won't hurt the skull, with the hollow tip
I'll make sure they follow tips, that I tell 'em
I won't spell 'em, out
, they'll shout, in horror
'Cause they saw a metamorphis, I'ma force kids out the galaxy
So, now ask me, don't try to go around because I know the sound
They're not stealthy, I'm dope, the opposers
I make sure you chose the straight and narrow
Prepare though, and be careful


[Hook]
You had your chance and you blew it
You had your chance and you blew it
You had your chance, you blew it
You had your chance...

[Verse 2]
Now, peep this, they forgot and now they gonna rot
They didn't know that they could sell a lot (a lot)
Of trash 'cause it doesn't smash or last, they got cash, but now
How are you gonna survive because you strive to gamble?
You're in shambles and I'm glad I could add flavor
I'm the savior, misbehavior can catch hell, none can match Del
Unless they stress, fresh, I'm nonetheless and take a guess
The one that make 'em go run back and tell they crew
That Del is true, he tell a new way to say whatever's clever
I'm gonna sever necks of those who don't respect the rap legacy
Because I egg MC's on the late night
They got away writin' clever raps
'Cause with that bullshit it sounds like they never rapped
In they life, I got a knife that is lyrical
And Del is causin' fear and still has potential (has potential)
They didn't learn, now the money's gonna burn
I yearn to make rap better, let's stick together!

[Hook]
You had your chance and you blew it
You had your chance and you blew it
You had your chance, you blew it
You had your chance...(you had your chance, you had your chance, uh)
You blew it"

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • 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 [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Del The Funky Homosapien’s chill jazz-infused production uniquely addresses the state of hip-hop and it’s flaws. In 1993, West Coast Gangsta Rap reached a meteoric rise. Known for it’s aggressive, in-your-face style and unapologetic ‘I don’t give a fuck’ attitude. The alternative underground rap sound in the Bay Area was the total opposite with funky, clever rhymes, irreverent humor and non-gangsta image and poetics.

The background vocals samples Chubb Rock and Howie Tee’s “Don’t Trespass” from the 1989 album, And The Winner Is…

The intro samples a chord from “Prelude I” by smooth jazz saxophonist John Klemmer.

The intro also samples the drums from A.B Skhy’s “Trackin Shoes”

The outro samples Ice Cube’s vocals from “Ya Lil Crumbsnatchers”.
