Boom Goes The Cannon... Lyrics - Mobb Deep

[Intro] 

Uh 

Yeah 

[Chorus] 

Boom! goes the cannon, watch the blood and the shit-spray 

How can we keep leading if the people keep retreating? 

Nah 

Boom! goes the cannon, push forward, no fear 

We gon' win this war and run them clowns outta here 

Boom! goes the cannon, watch them bodies and guns drop 

Now we the real leaders, opposition retreats when 

Boom! goes the cannon, push forward, no fear 

We gon' take the war and run them outta here

[Verse 1] 

Check it out 

That's my right hand man we like the bobbsey twins 

You got my back, I got your back when the sass begins 

We grew up in the slums, broke bread together 

When worse came to worse, rolled out the weather 

Have faith, knew it couldn't be this bad forever 

And once the sun shined, it could only get better 

Birds of a feather, we goin' the same places 

[?] whatever came our way 

Your kids is my kids, vice-versa 

You ain't ask who the beef with, only where the burner 

Never blink a eye, you'll back down just to hold the fort down 

For you'll be the strong gal, my shoulder's running wild, we wildin' 

Courtesy of projects houses 

And though you not here, you lookin' down at me smiling 

We took a oath to keep the name afloat 

We infamous forever, homie, the ultimate G.O.A.T.S

[Chorus] 

Boom! goes the cannon, watch the blood and the shit-spray 

How can we keep leading if the people keep retreating? 

Nah 

Boom! goes the cannon, push forward, no fear 

We gon' win this war and run them clowns outta here 

Boom! goes the cannon, watch them bodies and guns drop 

Now we the real leaders, opposition retreats when 

Boom! goes the cannon, push forward, no fear 

We gon' take the war and run them outta here 

[Verse 2] 

Yeah, yeah 

We are at war, no man is safe 

You can't hide forever 

Die on the battlefield to rise up and take power 

It's 32,000 troops in New York harbor 

We outgunned, outmanned, and outnumbered 

It's 32,000 troops in New York harbor 

We outplanned, out our mind pushing forward 

We a powder keg about to explode 

Wish we had a man like Hamilton to lighten the load 

Send the word, get 'em 

He want to fight, he got the hunger 

Yeah, I was just like him when I was younger 

Uh 

Head full of fantasies, dying like a martyr, but look 

Dying is easy young man, livin' is harder 

There's gonna be pools of blood in New York Harbor 

Rah! 

Gunfire and cannonballs, it's on, son 

Pools of blood in New York Harbor 

Rah! 

Willin' to die on Revolutionary Wardom 

[Chorus] 

Boom! goes the cannon, watch the blood and the shit-spray 

How can we keep leading if the people keep retreating? 

Nah 

Boom! goes the cannon, push forward, no fear 

We gon' win this war and run them clowns outta here 

Boom! goes the cannon, watch them bodies and guns drop 

Now we the real leaders, opposition retreats when 

Boom! goes the cannon, push forward, no fear 

We gon' take the war and run them outta here
