Clipse - Intro(2002)

[00:04.93] Playas we ain't the same, I'm into 'caine and guns
[00:06.19] Chopard with the fishes, make the face lift numb
[00:07.15] Out in Panama in that amazing sun; I'm amazing, son
[00:10.54] You niggas wonder where my grace is from
[00:12.70] I speak with corrupted tongue
[00:14.30] Recognized the underworld since I was young
[00:17.13] Back in '84 when I saw Crockett & Tubbs as the law
[00:20.89] These eyes got big when they televised that raw
[00:24.05] My mama should've seen it comin'
[00:25.13] Me runnin' up and down the stairs too quick
[00:27.91] Hummin' Miami Vice theme music
[00:29.83] Calderone made me colder
[00:32.29] I see the villains' impact, now that I'm older
[00:35.47] Ignorant fool, views ignorant, too
[00:37.56] Got a lot of money, keep militant tools
[00:40.45] Wasn't present the session they handed out the rules
[00:43.31] So I gravitated, related to life's cruels
[00:46.26] The meaning? Pusha T's more than he's seeming
[00:49.11] Not just a rap name, more so like a damn shame
[00:51.78] Nothing's changed, just the crimes is less heinous
[00:54.46] The three of us know, yet the shooter remains nameless
[00:57.38] And I don't even watch my back
[00:58.95] I was raw before rap, and I ain't lost my past
[01:02.09] Shit could get hairy, I could lose myself in a flash
[01:05.53] Niggas'll think I'm Jim Carrey how I off that mask
[01:07.86] I even went by the book at first
[01:10.26] Until I realized 9 to 5 wouldn't quench my thirst
[01:13.72] So I start my mission, leave my residence
[01:17.35] Mama knew that a child like me had better sense
[01:20.06] But something had to give, that's real, I had to live
[01:22.63] I chefed that soft white and pumped from her crib
[01:25.38] Scout's honor, started with my grandmama
[01:27.74] Who distributed yay she had flown in from the Bahamas
[01:30.89] Partner, please, I grinds, I hustle with ease
[01:34.03] Can damn near eyeball any weight in my sleep
[01:37.95] I don't entertain hate surrounding the street
[01:38.59] If I was you, I'd be tryna get down with me
[01:44.55] But no, see these niggas know too much
[01:44.84] Meanwhile I rock jewels that look like my diamonds blush
[01:47.23] Cats act as if rap fell in my lap
[01:50.18] I've suffered heartbreak many times back to back
[01:52.75] And still feel belittled sittin' here spittin' riddles
[01:55.66] Amongst clown ass rappers who tend to give me the giggles
[01:58.58] Let 'em take it however they wanna take it
[02:01.53] I'm the reason your favorite MC's no longer your favorite
[02:04.32] Hey, I'm one of the greats, I can't lie
[02:07.22] I mean great to the point I'm concerned I might die
[02:09.64] Make no mistake, Malice is who you tuned to
[02:12.86] It's all in the name, trust, I will wound you
[02:15.73]
