about

I saw this movie Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and thought it was a great name for a song. I also wanted to do a posse track with my favorite rappers. 2+2=4.

lyrics

CHORUS (Detroit CYDI & Stryfe)
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy 4x

RUFIO JONES
Tinker
That's the moniker
I be crackin
Missile codes
I'm a little stinker
But you see me in
The Thinker pose
Hiding out in plain sight
Somewhere in the Poconos
Kissin Russian women
While I'm sittin under mistletoe

DOC ILLINGSWORTH
Tailor
You can taste the flavor
In the sauce
Suit blacker than the smog
That just came
From my exhaust
The customized gators
Be so boss
To have 'em
You'll trade places
With your savior
On the cross

STRYFE
Soldier
Fightin for my country
And I'm servin
On my call of duty
I'ma shoot the first person
Bombs blown
Make a jarhead
Break a jawbone
On my third tour
But my stage
Is a war zone

SEAN UPPERCUT
Spy
It ain't about
Tactics or gadgets
Or tricks that make politicians
Vanish like magic
It's the excitement
The thrill of this life
And finishin this verse
Without gettin sniped

CHORUS (Cold Men Young)

KOPELLI
Tinker
Don't allow
A sleazy chick to linger
Her rachetness conflicting with
My debonair demeanor
Cancel that batch
Not befitting of
The handsomest chap
To ever orchestrate
A government collapse

MIC WRITE
Tailor
I thread these words
Together with such a majesty
The crowd be loiterin
When I be
Embroiderin this lavishly
Tap his female
Then I sap her V-gina
Then I cuff her
Him seem to be mad
When I tap his tree

MIC PHELPS
Soldier
Ice-T told niggas
To kill cops
Now cops kill
Niggas with iced tea
Damn
Now I need a iced tea
And a cop (Why?)
To kill while I'm
Drinkin iced tea

BLAKSMITH
Spy
Don't be nervous
That's just 8th Street Latinas
In the back performing
Secret service on
The Secret Service
Shh, quiet
Blunted
Murder at 16...
Hundred

CHORUS (Clear Soul Forces)

ILAJIDE
Tinker
llaji-Doddy
Party while I
Strategize
Finally
CYD got CSF
And CMY
More Cs than
Needle reservoirs
When it's liquified
Syringe
My pen can give you life
Like a symbiote

L.A.Z.
Tailor
Gimme a needle and thread
A hundred counts what's in my sheets
To get you out of your bed
Toss and turn, turn and toss
The type of shit that I'm on
Remember niggas used to sleep
My flow memory foam

E-FAV
Soldier
Blasting on my route to meet the wizard
Ducking your mortar rounds
Storm trooping through a blizzard
And even if I slip
And catch a bullet through my temple
My love for you is eternal
It don't need to be rekindled

NOVELISS
Spy
Clancey couldn't tell
It's the espionage
It's instrumental for you to step
In my weapons collage
It's the concrete chameleon
lickin shots for the villains
Off the top of a pavilion
While blendin in with civilians
