| The artistry night settles down over Montego Bay
|
| The hustlers and ballplayers come in to play
|
| Lifestyles give a grand view as Pan Am flew
|
| Some nest down from the iron wings of Jet Blue
|
| Dress shoes beach front penthouse, pimped out villas
|
| For fly niggas, quiet killers
|
| Millennium condominiums with wide pillars
|
| The finest community’s resorts for golf, digital room keys
|
| Luxury spas for broads, shopping, dining
|
| The beach chair with the mayor reclining
|
| A clear atmosphere, see the planets aligning, shining
|
| Dive in the turquoise water, during sun-time
|
| During the moon skyline the stars reflect like quarters
|
| Then it’s casinos, poker the gamblers come out
|
| But on the other side its soldiers, the hammers dump out
|
| They shoot up corners, five Gs stashed for the lawyers
|
| In case someone saw ya' amongst the snake-talkers
|
| The night walkers the native New Yorkers
|
| All the way across the borders, we hit the streets like savages
|
| Start apartheid like the Africans
|
| M-16 with banana clips
|
| The streets made us like this, I told my psycho-analyst
|
| Can’t handle it
|
| Better than a young man’s knowledge is an old man’s experience
|
| Skin tatted up, my mind is luxurious
|
| Though I stumble I rise, seven times stronger
|
| More thorough in the mind, street thesis
|
| We all in prison, none of us free
|
| Shop in the richest neighborhood, it’s still government cheese
|
| Shove ‘em and squeeze, gut ‘em and leave, blood on their sleeve
|
| Cut ‘em with these, roll ‘em in a rug under trees
|
| Mob dude laughing, cartel assassins
|
| Fucking guy, I use a barbell to bash ‘em
|
| Democrats and the fascists, nukes pointed at the continent
|
| Armed defense board of education decaying
|
| Bombs commence attacks in Iraq, sign of the times
|
| Money over mind soldiers in the line, Jehovah or the wine?
|
| The news takes over the tube, face confused
|
| This place is a zoo, meanwhile at Mr. Chow’s
|
| Sitting down with black cards and fast cars are rap stars
|
| That attracts y’all, if we don’t tell the truth to the youth
|
| About their roots what they planned for you
|
| We deserve the punishment due
|
| Better than a young man’s knowledge is an old man’s experience
|
| Skin tatted up, my mind is luxurious
|
| Though I stumble I rise, seven times stronger
|
| More thorough in the mind, street thesis
|
| How I stay afloat as the GOAT, the rap game needed a pulse
|
| Y’all beat it to pulps, what I seen was a bulb
|
| Above my skull, I took the oath
|
| Expose y’alls team as a hoax, what I seen was a joke
|
| I went in the vaults
|
| The murder I wrote never heard my approach
|
| Silence will I kill the giant? |
| I’m still a lion
|
| With the courage to give y’all the street coverage
|
| Heat busting, flights with the Louis V. luggage
|
| ‘Till police cuff ‘em coming through customs
|
| Slug ‘em or they drug ‘em
|
| Bullets through his chest or his stomach
|
| Death is sudden coming from the east, north, west and southern
|
| Streets is stubborn you cheated, you fronted
|
| The priest is governed by higher forces, maybe flying sources
|
| From another orbit or they hide in waters
|
| Found by scientists when I’m rhyming I am Hiram Abiff
|
| My lines are the bricks
|
| Better than a young man’s knowledge is an old man’s experience
|
| Skin tatted up, my mind is luxurious
|
| Though I stumble I rise, seven times stronger
|
| More thorough in the mind, street thesis |
