| Love my city to death and that’s my word
|
| We used to get dressed fresh and politic right on the curb
|
| Not worried bout tomorrow, just thinking bout the moment
|
| Used to catch tags on the building now I think I want to own it
|
| It was simple back then, we should’ve treasured it
|
| Now every thought I have’s precise, I got to measure it
|
| So I place ideas on the Tanita then I read it and it says that I should still
|
| carry my heater, damn
|
| I was really hoping for a different answer
|
| Fighting for peace like wheatgrass can fight cancer
|
| Knowledge is worthless if you don’t apply it
|
| Buy it then fly it, fuck a break, I’ll never be retired
|
| Inspired by silver linings that clouds cover
|
| Queens locals drop vocals, crowds smother
|
| That’s my new life, I worked for it though
|
| Still got a way to go
|
| Known for rocking crazy low, and blow getting fellatio
|
| Liquefying currency, making my paper flow
|
| Shit, we like money out the faucet
|
| Open like the doors on my whip when pigs toss it
|
| I don’t sweat that, look ahead, everything’s golden
|
| I’m here living, could’ve suffocated in the Trojan
|
| Now I’m at the district with my niggas getting frozen
|
| Eating cause I’m fly fam, rocking this yarn pays
|
| People act wild but they farm raised, we different
|
| Played these streets for a long time, I’ve seen a lot
|
| Another day, another dollar, so we scheming plots
|
| You can show someone the world, they only see the block
|
| Thoughts become reality, thankful I dream a lot
|
| Put words together, that can build bridges
|
| We tryna grow old and plant seeds and fly wizards
|
| It’s all about your energy, believe in yourself
|
| One love to real niggas worldwide, I wish em wealth
|
| I made grants on the hill in my Grant Hills
|
| The fiends keep moving while I stand still
|
| This was before I got tatted, or formed a habit
|
| Nowadays I’m like the addict who acts erratic
|
| With the base in the attic, I’m eating rabbit
|
| On some Bob Digi shit, RZA to abbot
|
| Got to love it, got to have it, I’m Illmatic
|
| My niggas on the run eating, we ain’t sleeping
|
| Running through Queens like the F train with my left brain
|
| Artistic, sadistic
|
| Saying happy Kwanza on Christmas to misfits
|
| Leather boots, leather jacket, my bottom is soft
|
| I hit the weed hard like Ruslan Provodnikov
|
| And I been doing this awhile but I’ll probably cough
|
| The only hashtag’s the price of the hash fag
|
| I sell your mother a bad bag
|
| And then I skate out to Baghdad |
