You better check yourself ‘fore you deck yourself,
that’s bad for your health…get a tool belt so you
don’t drop screws, don’t try moves
before you forerun, or you’re bound to lose,
that’s a number one rule for the real-ass setters,
making cheddar, recovering better,
you betcha they don’t waste time on a line, trying to
make shit perfect when they go the first time,
this ain’t Point Break motion picture,
I’m down to switch up, throw a pitch up,
forget your shit on the ground? Don’t throw it,
injury for efficiency - don’t go with it,
one piece of advice: bring that vice,
in case there’s a screw up high that got
shanked out - take that straight out, before the
injuries start to break out, if you going
up the 5.9, that’s fine…
better take the time to look at your line, cause a
fall from the top would break your neck,
so you better run a check…

not doubling back is bad for your health…

Been around to see plenty setters get played,
cause they bitch-made, hopping on a six straight
cold, now it’s too late - hopping on a V-
8 - shoulda had a V8 last go,
Niggas act like they don’t know the drill,
forerunning over drills…
your area looking scary, bro,
better clean it up or we gonna have to bury you
you think that their body’s elastic
climbing over screws, loose holds and baskets,
trying to play the hero, say they won’t fall on a
zero, till the hold spins, now their knees broke,
used to be the man who didn’t care,
now you’re at Urgent Care…
screaming, whining, rolling your eyes and
neck - you shoulda ran a check…

Big screws in your ass is bad for your health…

I seen it every way, all ways, niggas drop
screws, running up and down the ladder all day,
no helmets, no safety gear,
I know what’s coming - their fate is near,
gotta tap that T-nut, it needs replaced, but I don’t
see no goggles upon your face, saying,
“come on D, it’s fine, just one
time,” then the shavings fall into your eye,
the pain got you going out of your mind, gotta
get surgery and still might go blind, and your
eyewear still just hanging around your
neck, you shoulda wore the specs,

(Check yourself before you wreck yourself) [x3]
cause metal in your eyes is bad for your health…
