| It’s a story about two brothers, Rob and Vic
|
| Grew up in the world alone
|
| God forgot about them, hmm
|
| Forced to fend for themselves
|
| In the Rotten Apples of New York City
|
| This story takes place, in 1993
|
| How many nigs did we get so far?
|
| I couldn’t care to count
|
| Just snatch em up quick
|
| If he scream, I’ma put him out
|
| I put the heat to his face to SHUT HIM UP
|
| so I can dig him out
|
| Went in his pockets and got the cash in some big amounts
|
| I looked him dead cold in his eyes, *blast* without carin
|
| If money speak, that explain the voices I’ve been hearin
|
| You ain’t really have to kill him
|
| Yo God he moved -- but I lied
|
| Damn, there’s our sick stick-up turned homicide
|
| So? |
| That’s the way our momma died
|
| Is you with me I’ma slide
|
| So we slid, had to get our gameplan together
|
| Cause this little bit of stickup loot ain’t lastin us forever
|
| Desperate, on the edge with no place to go We can’t go back to the hood we stuck up everyone we know
|
| Chorus: *sung*
|
| For the love of money, people will rob from each other
|
| For the love of money, people will steal from their mother
|
| For the love of money, people will kill their own brother.
|
| Now everytime I hear a fuckin siren, my heart skip a beat
|
| I’m paranoid, every face I see I think he after me Supposedly
|
| we was supposed to be gettin work from this large cat
|
| But since we know where he rest at -- we goin Bogart!
|
| Son frontin so hard
|
| Heard he had a hundred G’s alone on his Gold Card
|
| His crab wife showed me mad cash in her blouse
|
| She said he the mad stash at the house
|
| Couldn’t pass up a jooks like this anyday
|
| Anyway
|
| on our way there, I’m feelin bad vibes
|
| Yo kid don’t say that
|
| That’s when we bumped heads
|
| with vicks that we stuck from way back, up on Atlantic
|
| The way them niggaz lookin God they drivin mad frantic
|
| Yo don’t panic, trust me What?
|
| I jump back and bust em Shots through they windshield, they ain’t wearin shield
|
| Hit the kid behind the steering wheel *car horn* it’s the way I feel
|
| In a state to kill I wanna watch him DIE
|
| Wait and chill
|
| We got bigger fish to fry, two L’s later
|
| in a Bed-Stuy elevator, got off the fifth floor
|
| Water hit the skull, ready KICK THE DOOR
|
| off the hinges
|
| Bust shots right
|
| Only thing I saw was a nigga four-four
|
| His gun jammed
|
| He tried to run and, reach for a knife
|
| Shot him in the leg
|
| So think about your life
|
| and tell me where the loot’s at He said, I’ll tell you just don’t shoot black!
|
| With the sight of fear, dragged him down six flight of stairs
|
| to the basement, and in someway, he had a trap door in the pavement
|
| Smacked him with the gun, kicked him out the way
|
| Had to be at least 500 K Now hear come the bitch, talkin bout her share of the wealth
|
| So we put her and the husband out
|
| and we went for self
|
| Yo, we fuckin came off!
|
| Word
|
| The plan was splendid
|
| 'Cept we got all this money, and can’t even spend it Shh, let’s disappear
|
| Yea yea
|
| And be outta this place
|
| So much dirt and shit we did it’s hard to show our face
|
| So we bounced out of town and went down to Miami
|
| Cause most those cats we crabbed was like family
|
