Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yo, I rose early mornin', spread my wings yawnin'
Vague memory of last night, now it's all dawnin'
Look down and see dry blood all on my garment
It stained all my Guess formers, kevlar'd enormous
I hopped up outta my bed holdin' my head
Flashbacks of gun shots shot past my head
I can recall an eight-man brawl, three men fall
Bullets flew, I had to drag my man behind a wall
Left a wet trail, delivered these slugs like air mail
Directly at the cat that made my man blood spill
An eye for an eye, you know my science of life
Is you man or mice, thugs or the cowardly type?
I kick that '98 shit for your ears to list
**** P way ahead of his time, surpassed kids
(Fuck you kids be doin', yo?)
Kickin' rhymes, that's true lies
Let me break 'em down to size, minimize they air time
After this, you never will go back to that which
Sit back and write half ass shit
The last official takin' out the artificial
Let me relieve you, replace that shit with some lethal
Mobb, remember the name, it's been along
That ****'s shook to death from the first fuckin' song
Fluidly, my mind flooded with jewels infinite
The kinda rap bandits in attics stuck on some live shit
Bear witness to this diligent street cat
I carry myself hold myself down in fact
This one dedicated to my **** on run
Holdin' big gats, go for your gun
Prepare to crush them, we trust none
Man who ain't down with the clan
The Mobb dynasty, apparantly you thought I was some other type
**** you could fuck with you shit outta luck
Boss, I break your compass, throw you way off course
We buildin' from ground up, startin' from ground zero
Mafia on da, see the name upon the mural
Durable physically fit raps articulate
You get your whole skeleton cracked something ridiculous
Still fascinated by my ste
Little P wanna be me, huh, you no D
[Verse 2]
One time, son, you know we be the illest in this
Push the shit back, QBC gat, plottin' to move back
The big mouth cat ship'll sink to the bottom
Easily overthrowin' ****, rollin' over ****
[Verse 3]
Yo, crushed krills, dollar bills, swish suit on
Screw on, dry-cell **** with his loot on
Watch this, thunn Glockless, fiends scopin' out my rock shit
Diamond on some H&R Block shit
Hear me, kids leary and his sneakers are shot
Word to me thunn, the uniform do mean a lot
I approach lit up, cousin, sit up, matter of fact, get up
What, fronts on the bottom, face lit up
Yeah, where you from? I'm from here
You know Brina and Javier, and Little Life doin' thirty years
Analyzin' this wise guy, a look-alike first prize guy
Lit up the Thai stick, right
Emotionally playin' him close like I'm supposed to be
Something spoke to me, it was this little **** pokin' me
I heard sirens now turn around, about to hit 'em
Son was pro nine with the emblem
Grabbed my goose down the walkie-talkie
Foul, I'm loose now, shot went off, knocked the juice down
It ricocheted and hit a GS, now here comes EMS, Dunn was leanin' near a ZX
Next time shit's parental, God slap fire out your mental
Jet in a boat with rims dimensional
[Verse 4]
One time, son, you know we be the illest in this
Push the shit back, NYC gat, plottin' to move back
The big mouth cat ship'll sink to the bottom
Easily overthrowin' ****, rollin' over ****
[Verse 5]
We be the illest in this
Push the shit back, NYC gat, plottin' to move back
The big mouth cat ship'll sink to the bottom
Easily rollin' over ****, overthrowin' ****
[Verse 6]
'Cause live **** rap this shit
From Riker's houses to the street's pavement
Word life, kid, I have you hoppin' the fence
Dodgin' for life, runnin' the sprint, the Infamous
Live **** rap this shit
Fake cats get offended, intimidated
Puttin' up they defense
I have you hoppin' the fence
Dogin' for life, runnin' the sprint, the infamous
