[00:03.06] Yo, ayo let's get papers and pop Mo' with holes up in skyscrapers
[00:05.16] In condiminiums, overlooking our drug capers
[00:08.19] New York City, know only way to play is gritty
[00:10.82] I want cheddar, so we can front up in the 850
[00:13.58] My whole commity like to puff L's and look jiggy
[00:16.28] Who wan' test this? My semi leave you chestless
[00:19.06] And ain't shit that you can say to me when you be breathless
[00:21.33] Young, but I done did shit that you won't do
[00:24.23] So go ahead wit the bullshit you blab about goin through

[00:37.53] Ayo, Mase and The Lox

[00:40.61] Any nigga make it hot, get found in vacant lot
[00:42.77] You don't really wanna come try, the one guy
[00:45.28] Who stay dumb high from blunt lye
[00:47.41] The rack of sing-sing alumni
[00:49.37] Who got more beef than a Islamic farm
[00:51.40] So I pack enough sonic arms to neutralize atomic bombs
[00:54.05] It's not a nigga in your gang want it
[00:56.44] My AK slay gays, spray strays wit niggaz names on it
[00:59.85] Often I bug, then we'll soften a thug
[01:01.97] Have a chump coughin blood, fill his coffin with slugs
[01:04.37] Yo, you know I got enough guns to wreck a nation
[01:06.84] Any nigga wave a Tec at Mase, and, have a explanation
[01:10.07] You bring your crew and em and I'm doin em
[01:12.47] Then I'm beatin em down with aluminum
[01:14.28] Then I'm puttin two in em
[01:15.73] You can't touch me, I've been devil sent, wanted for embezzlement
[01:18.23] A lot of other things, but that's irrelevant
[01:20.68] If you love the money, then prepare to die for it
[01:25.96] Niggaz done started somethin
[01:28.72] You can lay in the flames, or hug the sky for it
[01:31.87] Niggaz done started somethin
[01:34.12] Yo, check out the kid that get coke like Sosa
[01:47.66] Never turned down chocha, be in the Costa
[01:50.70] Rica, sippin margaritas wit a mami

[01:55.93] Whenever The Lox find rippy blocks, we kill em
[01:58.56] Yeah I hear niggaz, but I still don't feel em
[02:01.06] And this for the listeners, and prisoners
[02:03.81] And them jealous rap cats that prefer dissin us
[02:06.39] My 16's be so real, you can feel em in your vain
[02:09.93] Like Ramello's pops from Sugarhill
[02:11.82] J be the cause for the kiss at your wake
[02:14.67] Cartel lips, spittin clips at your face
[02:17.22] We started from the bottom

[02:21.84] We can do it at the Garden
[02:23.33] Word life, this shit is real big
[02:25.09] I'm makin niggaz blow trial even if they not guilty
[02:27.89] I want a palace for my thugs, wit oriental rugs
[02:31.59] Green bags from drugs, get wacked for the love
[02:34.06] Twenty niggaz batter me, still couldn't shatter me

[02:39.13] Official lock family, grants niggaz handin me
[02:41.64] I want the finer things, and I hope you understandin me
[02:43.94] Sittin at the table, plannin and plug the fan in
[02:46.92] Let the sweat dry off and then grab your cannon
[02:49.47] Think you smartest, and retaliate the hardest, regardless
[02:52.48] If you a thug or a rap artist, respect me like Pesci
[02:55.30] And if rap was hockey, I be Gretzky, puffin Nestle
[03:00.54] Any ya niggaz done started somethin
[03:03.10] Actin invincible like you god or somethin
[03:05.67] If you god, then I'ma makes a lot til you rot
[03:08.46] And if you a playa, then play for everything you got
[03:10.97] And if you a thug, then start bustin off shots
[03:13.87] And if you a dog, you better bite before you bark
[03:16.43] Don't came at me wit no bullshit, use caution

[03:46.34] Cause when we creep, no more than three deep, niggaz see sheep
[03:49.01] Bloodhounds found your shit buried in the mud
[03:51.66] Following traces of gun powder, residue and blood
[03:54.18] A positive ID is impossible, so you know
[03:56.96] John Doe is what they gon' be puttin on that tag on yo' toe
[03:59.69] Now who gon tell yo mother, her baby's under a cover in the morgue
[04:03.47] Stiff as a log, sniffed out by the dogs
