| 12 years of struggle, 12 years of hustle
|
| For 12 years couldn’t stay my ass out of trouble
|
| Ran 12 spots to sell grass in the jungle
|
| For 12 years a motherfucker stashed on the humble!
|
| Like 11 big dudes on the line of scrimmage
|
| I spit with the strength of Popeye on spinach
|
| Give me 11 minutes, nigga, and your girl is finished
|
| Leave your ass heartbroke and your world diminshed
|
| Caught 10 cases, 10 different files
|
| Seen the same face rocking 10 different smiles
|
| Bag 10 dimes with 10 different styles
|
| Glad the Knicks got rid of Chris Childs
|
| There was these wild ass cats thought they had 9 lives
|
| Trapped on 9th behind enemy lines
|
| It was two against 9 no escape this time
|
| Tapped their spine with a couple blasts from a 9
|
| Yo my brother is you with it, hey oh yeah I’m with it
|
| Yo son is you committed, I stay committed
|
| Making the digits, 4 ways to split it
|
| Souls Infinite, ya got to come and get it
|
| My moms used to tell me I should talk with my father
|
| You dropped 1 album with 8 different authors
|
| 8 different A&Rs, 88 offers
|
| I stick to Showdown, why even bother
|
| I take 7 MCs put them in a line
|
| Add 7 more brothas that think they can rhyme
|
| It’ll take 7 more before I go for mine
|
| Now that’s 21 MCs ate up at the same time
|
| 6 million ways to die you know the rest
|
| I’ve got a 6th sense for shorties with big breasts
|
| It used to be who’s the best and who’s fresh
|
| You got something to say player take it to my chest
|
| This is real hip hop like Fab Five Fred
|
| We murderin' tracks like 5 shots to the head
|
| You dead. |
| We do it so the kids get fed
|
| Sing the song if you heard what I said
|
| Chorus (Repeat 1x)
|
| Build 4 corners, cross 4 waters
|
| Bloods' been shed for the New World Order
|
| A penny 4 my thoughts, I need 4 quarters
|
| I’ve got 4 names 4 my unborn daughter
|
| I knew this European chick with 3 black kids
|
| With no idea of what black is
|
| Had 3 different niggas in just 3 years
|
| Even let my man hit it off just 3 beers
|
| That’s 2 too many, 2 peas in a pod
|
| 2 MCs or not, we’re like Mo Cheeks & Doc
|
| 2 tumtables and 2 mics to rock
|
| Blow up spots to set up our own shop
|
| Square One life to live so this life we give
|
| 1 Love to the ones who pump our shit
|
| Thump our shit in 1 room appartments
|
| Have your neighbors call the police department |
