AZ - Doe Or Die(1995)

[00:03.55] (AZ the Visualiza)
[00:05.36] Yeah, New York Undercover baby
[00:07.12] Whole lotta things done changed...
[00:11.65] Yeah, there's a lot of people puttin black eyes in the game
[00:16.23] Knahmean? Time to do this though...
[00:20.72] Check it
[00:24.34] I had a block locked, but took a fall now I'm off my feet
[00:27.00] I gotta eat, so it's back to these fuckin streets
[00:29.80] And I will grow cause I'm an old timer
[00:32.51] I bring the drama to any nigga, his babies or his fuckin mama
[00:36.12] I got a look like Tevin Campbell
[00:37.93] But still I gamble, hustle and scramble
[00:39.80] Cause money is muscles in this damn zoo
[00:41.58] And in order to make it, you gotta take it
[00:44.27] Be the boom blast booze bend or break it but don't fake it
[00:46.95] That's why there's no guilt for these trife niggas bloods I spilt
[00:50.60] Took what they built, flippin they drug game on tilt
[00:52.43] Cause in New York, dealin drugs is a sport
[00:55.14] You either sell it, smoke it, shoot up or snort
[00:58.76] Either way you're caught
[00:59.69] And since I'm in it, now I'm in it to win it; sky's is the limit
[01:04.28] No more being some motherfucker's lieutenant
[01:06.00] Shit, from this point that's how I feel, I wanna fly
[01:07.89] Yeah, it's either doe or die
[01:09.66] Chorus: (Repeat 2X)
[01:10.54] It's like a jungle sometimes
[01:12.39] It's like a jungle sometimes
[01:16.99] It's like a jungle sometimes, the weed smoke makes me wonder
[01:20.53] How I keep from going under
[01:22.30] (AZ the Visualiza)
[01:33.26] And all hoods I hang with mix slang in they language
[01:36.89] Love, kickin that gang shit, sellin on the same strip
[01:39.57] Hustlin hard, no matter how much we hated
[01:42.29] So dedicated, even our dreams are drug related
[01:44.94] Shit, puff bananas, not even the cops can stand us
[01:48.50] Cause of the way we vanish, everytime they come to can us
[01:51.31] 25 we get the money live - fuck all that funny jive
[01:54.99] The streets is our only source to survive
[01:56.71] And before any teeny-boppers think about tryin to stop us
[01:59.42] I rather put your head, through the propellers of a helicopter
[02:03.00] Cause all my peeps be playin for keeps
[02:04.83] Straight out the litter, so bitter
[02:06.65] These bandits don't even need sweets
[02:08.40] Bringin the ruckus, like some mad motherfuckers
[02:11.13] Move at night like truckers
[02:12.02] When suckers see us, they duck us
[02:13.95] Shit, only the real can relate to things a hungry man'll, try
[02:17.52] It's either doe or die
[02:19.47] Chorus
[02:38.40] (AZ the Visualiza)
[02:42.09] And ever since I was a tarface baby, watchin Scarface
[02:45.75] I dreamed of guns and tons of coke on a car chase
[02:48.48] A fat connect with a kingpin Colombian
[02:51.19] Plus props from crooked cops, payin him tops not to run me in
[02:54.75] Keepin my toaster in a shoulder holster
[02:56.54] Havin hoes playin me closer, sexin on a silk sofa
[03:01.14] Livin the life of the rich and trife
[03:02.94] Rugged but sharp like a kitchen knife
[03:04.74] Without stress from some bitchin wife
[03:06.58] What a life, that's why I be on what I be on
[03:09.24] Always ready to war for a score that's sure to put me on
[03:11.91] And until then, I won't seal in what I'm feelin
[03:14.67] It was inside that I cried, but now its spillin
[03:17.32] I'm goin all out, until I fallout; so much of a menace
[03:20.92] When I finish milkin New York I'll have to fall out
[03:21.84] On the run, cause I know feds'll try to knock me
[03:26.46] And railroad my soul to a hellhole if they got me
[03:29.17] But not me, I'm goin out fightin until I fry
[03:31.89] From hot lead no lie, like I said it's either doe or die
[03:35.48] Chorus
[03:51.72] (AZ the Visualiza)
[03:52.62] Visualizin the realism of life and actuality
[03:55.48] Fuck who's the baddest
[03:56.38] A person's status depends on salary
[03:59.90] Chorus
[04:04.40] (AZ the Visualiza)
[04:05.36] If not why not
[04:06.23] Either you're in it, or your in the way Baby Pah
[04:09.86] New yields, no quills
[04:11.72] I want it all.
[04:13.55] Chorus (repeat until fade)
[04:17.15]
