Story Behind the Song
While watching a western flick, I was reminded of how the frontier people had to circle their covered wagons around for protection when the Indians would attack. With this hip hop thing being the frontier that I am now attacking, sucka mc's had better Circle their Wagons, or else be doomed when I approach.
Lyrics
Circle Ya Wagons
verse 1 Dark Phoenixx
final assault; let's play a game of chicken with this mic
at the point of impact, I' m not turning left or right
the battle zone; brothers ain't trying to be polite
I hope your stamina is up, because I can take it through the night
like a nightmare, bad dreams the Phoenixx weaves
because your mind can't conceive all the shit that I achieve
don't let up on ‘em Calaco, or let the world breathe
what I have up my sleeve will make an atheist believe that
Fucking with me is like committing high treason
on top of that, you' re losing more teeth than a hockey season
guard your grill like a football face mask
then blast to the past when the brothers didn't ask
what set you were claiming, if you were good then you were down
it's 1998, and I'm about to don the cowl
like the Batman, minus the spandex
saving the world from you superficial threats
bite off your head like a Tyrannosaurus Rex
venemous lyrics will stop your heart up in your chest
because you couldn't digest that I can kick it with the best
lyrical quality is a trait that I possess
so I guess I need to confess; God bless
the urge to eat a rapper is something I can't suppress
and I leave a mess; I'm not hardly bragging
so just take my advice and circle up the wagons
Chorus: Circle Ya Wagons, Phoenix is coming by
preparing for the battle, surrender or die
call me the sniper with more chips than Wesley Snipes
niggas oppose me and get cracked like a pipe
repeat
Verse 2 Dark Phoenixx
allow me to speak; reach peak performance levels
niggas looking bleak, because I'm blowing up like Dante's Peak
so grab a shovel 'cause your living on the bubble
you never know if you're getting buried under the rubble
catastrophic tremors will finish you on the double
Calaco's emerging with the five day stubble
from the studio; tried to relate it that we were trouble
I rock it at the level of the satellite Hubble
rewriting the rules that you need to abide by
switching up my style like the change in the tides
melting you down, just like some ice cream from Bordens
500 laps around your ass like Jeff Gordon
this rookie's leading the way, just like a pace car
shutting them down like the last call at the bar
I'm unescapable, my lyrics irreplacable
the beats are incredible, your defeat is inevitable
Circle Ya Wagons when the Phoenix is coming by
the hurricane approaching, even though the weathers dry
there's nobody cutting off my lyrical supply
they're engrained in my brain; if you have to wonder why then you should
chorus
verse 3 Dark Phoenixx
I'm kicking down lyrical blows like jabs to the nose
had a choice and you chose to dispose of DP
but you couldn't finish, now it's time that I diminished
the list of my foes, in push you out into the sea
you better cop a plea for a bargain in the case
of Dark Phoenixx and Calaco against the human waste
that would love to take our place; it's a shame
people say anything to get a taste of the fame
and who is to blame? I'm blaming it on me
because I'm made it look so easy; you see
I have a formula for success, like D.O.C
because nobody can do it better than Mr. C.
A-L-A-C-O; ceiling to the dance floor
is his domain; musical disdain
is all we got for them fools that only want to maintain
you should have been an apprentice like Johnny Tremain
all attempts to regain will only lead to further pain
follow your dreams, but this is one you won't obtain
my mic translates, so they can feel me out in Spain
now the whole wide world is substantiating my claim that you should
chorus
fade out
