Sure Shot Singles: Da Lench Mob – Guerrillas In The Mist Lyrics

”Guerrillas In The Mist”
East/West
Production: Ice Cube


Straight outta South Central and giving up the real on race relations in Amerikkka, come JD, T-Bone and Shorty. And while they are known to millions as Ice Cube’s backup men, this explosive release proves that they can definitely carry a record on their own.

     Over a chaotic, noise track worthy of Ice Cube himself (he gets on the mic for a second) and a dope X-Clan sample, Da Mob gives you the 411 on the jungle. Hastily delivered lyrics draw effective parallels between city life, guerrilla warfare and survival in the ghetto. “Swinging on a vine/Sucking on a piece of swine/Jigaboo come up from behind/Hit him with a coconut stab him in his gut. . .” and “Just like EPMD/I don’t like a bitch named J to the A/To the N-E.” In ’92, Da Lench Mob is definitely not tolerating Tarzan types.

     This is just the tip of the iceberg, the forthcoming LP will have Ice Cube adding his part to the fire.

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 [?]
