| We dance with the wolves, wrestle with the pitbulls
|
| For fistfuls of dollars and cents, we empty pistols
|
| Plotting out elaborate scams to get our hands on some
|
| Lofts of land or maybe
|
| Thoughts of plans and they be
|
| Forcing my hand don’t make me
|
| Off this man
|
| I never claimed killer, I came iller stayed realer
|
| Our chance grows, traveled the globe, fans applauded
|
| But my heart still roaming the streets, they still calling
|
| Boat names with cocaine dreams screaming «I own the game!»
|
| I’m so stained Novacaine doesn’t slow the pain
|
| Lost so many I don’t fear death, no tears left
|
| Numbers of my years left, blessed to be here left
|
| When they said «At fifteen he’d be already dead»
|
| I’m here heavy head steady sipping Remy Red
|
| Wild fellow tryin' a keep my mind settled
|
| Child of the ghetto, survived where nines echo
|
| I’m just a city guy living fly getting high
|
| Live it till I die getting by, whipping by
|
| Stand solidified big times to different sides
|
| Here’s your ticket right, follow if you feel my vibe… (My vibe)
|
| Yo, we caped up, ten in the lab, weapons to blast
|
| One with the city, fight for sections of land
|
| Can’t sleep till the check’s in my hands, it’s still a hustle
|
| Bare knuckle grind, knee deep inside the struggle
|
| I don’t give a fuck about much but my beloved and such
|
| 'Cause nobody to trust but us
|
| It’s New York life, walk like what ya talk like
|
| Or you might, get tossed right off the ninth floor
|
| Every day is war, roamin' through the wasteland
|
| Focused, tryin' a make grands
|
| Hammers poakin' out the waistband
|
| In this cash race, they can’t stand the pace I plan to make
|
| Millions and marinate across town my Fam is straight
|
| Cash rules, so naturally it had me, the temptress
|
| Teasing me, I lust badly, she said
|
| «You a professional with records sold let it go»
|
| And I replied «This is the only life I’ll ever know…»
|
| (It's the only life I’ll ever know… You know?)
|
| I trust, in no one but us
|
| Trust, in no one but us
|
| Trust, in no one but us
|
| Yeah, years later, hey I made it, no explaining how
|
| Walking forward through the fire while it rained down
|
| We claim Sex n' Slang and aim weapons
|
| But still tryin' a live the +Good Times+ like James Evans
|
| And, we’ll stick you for your shine
|
| (Hustle) Nickel for a dime
|
| (Trouble) This you’re gonna find
|
| (Muscle) If you wanna grind
|
| (Struggle) Digits on the mind
|
| (Couple) Figures for the crime
|
| (Scuffle) Fists or with the nine
|
| (Bubble) Living on the line (The line, the line…)
|
| I’m just a city guy living fly getting high
|
| Live it till I die getting by, whipping by
|
| Stand solidified big times to different sides
|
| Here’s your ticket right, follow if you feel my vibe… (My vibe) |
