[Verse One: Billions greeting, roaming since Genesis Coming out the crevices Infested, walls with termites in the drawer, looking for food Coming out there's no light! They're small, but make humans nervous You'll do a spastic if you spot one crawling on your epidermis If you squeamish, save provided, When you sleep you keep your mouth closed, yo they might crawl up inside it Uninvited, from out the core Bugs are the only species probably survive a nuclear war And as you snore, like to run through your door Then explore, you won't notice when on your upside down floor Schemin', he sees and calls his boys in, but some ain't smart enough to the exterminator's poison So the pest takes it back to his contacting with another it begins to infect the rest A lot die, but it's only a fraction - we can't catch 'em 'cause always new eggs hatchin'
[Chorus COCKROACHES! *Cut and by the DJ* (3X)
[Verse Two: Cockroaches, many as evil But if you're from the projects, them niggas are the people! They with you, eat with you, listen to beats with you Thousands lounging in your couch form armies reproduce They their crew, roaches got there own army generals, colonels, lieutenant, invading Your crib a big roach motel, for all sorts of bugs Poor homes for that can't afford carpet get a free rug! From out the cupboards, crawling crisis I got baby inside my food cartons camouflaged as spices Once by accident, I ate 'em my rice kid Cause, when hungry you don't think twice kid Yo there ain't a person on Earth that ate an insect, Cause food warehouse in the US they infest I used to roaches funeral pyres - wrap 'em up in toilet paper still alive and em on fire! So watch out, come to get you with militias, throwin' poop parties up in your sink, up to your dishes
[Chorus and scratched by the DJ* (2X)
