Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A tale of two cities
Right here
[Verse 2]
This time we set it straight
Connect with Dre the correct way
Predictin' platinum in less than a day
So for now we toast
Amongst us, while y'all lackin' hope
All I do is write raps, stack, relax and smoke
Seein' my dreams come true
Stayin' humble in the eyes of others
Politicin' with the wisest brothers
[Verse 3]
It's Nature, one of the greatest, peep how I play this
Straight from the bridge, one of your kids' favorites
From now till the day that I'm stiff
Foul flagrant, pay the rent
Always stay swift, stuck in my ways
[Verse 4]
Type chauvinistic
Since a youth I had a thing for big and flooded rings
And older bitches, holdin' my riches
In lump sums, for trust funds
Fully recovered thugs, lust to bust guns
While **** get drunk, beat wives, and cuss sons
A slow process, called life, let's show progress
[Verse 5]
Don Cortes, white rags, cherry Bentley
Cop shines formidably
Speak money language fluently
Never fuck with the nastiest, flashiest
Bought a house big as Scarface to show my happiness
Rackin' the six zeroes
For those who wanna get personal to home
Cock the heavy metal, rollin' with my stones
[Verse 6]
Prominent with flashy garments
Spread a mil, small bills bring a smile to an ice grill
Popular, loved through the industry
If they sue, light a philly 'cause the judges gotta Free Willy
Salute with chill Remy
Gently escort four ladies an arm
The four seasons at the club Bentley's
[Verse 7]
Condo suites, somethin' fancy
Twenty floors up, overlook the ladies
Boomerang they panties
Bump the Firm Family's latest
Takin' trips to Las Dregas
That's how we do it, Aftermath incorporated
[Verse 8]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
It's the motherfuckin' Firm Family, ooh
Ooh, yeah
I better pinch myself to make sure that I'm not dreamin'
Oh, 'cause the way you make me feel
I feel like, oh, screamin'
[Verse 9]
I spit rhymes for the radio and spit for tours
Spent dough that I never thought I'd hold before
Now if you just wanna front
You know my style's tight
**** never shoulda plugged up the motherfuckin' mic
Sippin' Tanqueray, sixty inch screen, when we hang with Dre
Just flew in from Queens, no bag and plan to stay
In the heat, park the Rolls Royce up in the streets
Seein' topless bitches, rollerbladin' in the street
[Verse 10]
While I lounge in a jacuzz, sky clear blue
Got the whole crew, Nas, AZ, Nature, Foxy there too
How we do, hit trees, Cristal bottles
Breeze tropical, spread love till we wobble
It's time to give, let the kids live comfortable
Anybody pump the beef between East and West
Fuck you
Make moves political, get this revenue
Set examples, respect every individual
[Verse 11]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
It's got to be the motherfuckin' Firm Family, ooh
Ooh, yeah
I better pinch myself to make sure that I'm not dreamin'
Oh, 'cause the way you make me feel
I feel like, oh, screamin'
[Verse 12]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
[Verse 13]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
