Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cocaine whiter now
Operation is sweet
Whole game tighter now
Moving a brick a week
Plus a **** prices down
We them **** to see
Time to start the arising now
I don't know what's wrong with Bleek
[Verse 2]
It seems I'm like Keenan,
Picking up on the vibe
That he ain't too happy, I could just see it in his eyes
I don't know if it's the chicks or how we dividing the loot
Time to pay his ass a visit 'fore he decided to get cute
Jumped out like a star with the flavest car
Matching the gator shirt, softer than my next door neighbors
These young **** think I fell out the loop
Cause the last time they seen me hopping out the coupe
I hopped out in a suit
[Verse 3]
Look at this **** Jay fronting
Trying to take my shine
I didn't say this verbally, just had some shit on my mind
Plus I'm puffin' like an ounce
More than I used to puff
Taking advice from these ****, but they ain't used to stuff
They had me thinking, shit, I'm the one that moved the stuff
While he drive around town in brand new coupes and stuff
Swear to God, they had me practically hating his guts
As he approached I spoke, "Jigga, whattup?"
[Verse 4]
I done came up, put my life on the line
Soaked the game up, now it's my time to shine
Time to change up, no more second-in-line
Nine-eight, these streets is mine
[Verse 5]
Look at that fake smile he just gave me
It's breaking my heart
Should I school him or pull the tools out and just break him apart?
I felt his hatred it was harsh
'Fore this faking shit start
I should take him in back of the building and blaze him
[Verse 6]
Uh-oh, this **** Jay, he ain't slow
He musta picked up on the vibe
That had I not been so high, I woulda been able to hide
Tried to cover up myself, as I gave him a five
Hugged him as if I loved him
[Verse 7]
To the naked eye
It woulda seemed we was the closest
But those that know us could see that something was about to go down
[Verse 8]
Stay focused
I'm trying to concentrate, but it's like he's reading my mind
As if he can see through this fog and all this weed in my mind
Could he see I had plans on being the man
Ever since we first spoke and he put that G in my hand
And I gave it back to show him, I was down for the cause
As he approach
What up, Bleek?
And I paused
[Verse 9]
I done came up, put my life on the line
Soaked the game up, now it's my time to shine
Time to change up, no more second-in-line
Nine-eight, these streets is mine
[Verse 10]
You done came up, put your life on the line
Soaked the game up, now it's your time to shine
Time to change up, no more second-in-line
Nine-eight, these streets is mine
[Verse 11]
Right, yo we wild out in Vegas
Styled on haters
Mouthed off at the cops
Outta cranberry drops
Copped whips the same color
We tighter than brothers
With different fathers, but same mothers
This life don't love us
So till death do us
I'm never breaking my bond
**** we Lex movers
V twelve pushers
[Verse 12]
As I stand, one leg of my pants up
In a stance like, and what?
I know these **** are feeding my mind cancer
But in time's the answer seems mind-blowing
This weed and Hennessy
Got my mind going
Trust me ****, I'm knowing
Chicks used to ignore me
And my aunt sayin' I need fifty
Not sixty, forty
[Verse 13]
Oh God, don't let him control y'all
Your gun is my gun
Your clip is my clip, baby
Your fun is my fun
Your bitch is my bitch
Any **** trying to harm Jay
I'm feeling for you
I ain't only touching you
I'm killing your crew
[Verse 14]
Give it a year, you'll be sitting on a million or two
Records sold ****, perfect your role
[Verse 15]
I done came up, put my life on the line
Soaked the game up, now it's my time to shine
Time to change up, no more second-in-line
Nine-eight, these streets is mine
I done came up, put my life on the line
Soaked the game up, now it's my time to shine
Time to change up, no more second-in-line
Nine-eight, these streets is mine
[Verse 16]
Yeah, you done came up, put your life on the line
Soaked the game up, now it's your time to shine
Time to change up, no more second-in-line
