The Life |
My life had it’s ups and downs, but I don’t regret nothin' |
I had the whole tri-state high, nigga I ain’t frontin' |
at Fifteen I sold my first bag of dope |
used to stick Dominicans, burner under the coat |
gettin’like 15 grams, a half a Ki at Fifteen man, a nigga just glad to be gettin’some shorts, me and my Man from a Hundred and Fifth |
he knew some Dominican niggas that wanted a clique |
to hold 'em down, shoot niggas in the head |
throw 'em out windows if they were late with the bread |
basically I’m enforcin' |
around heavy coke, when nobody’s lookin’I’d be dippin’in the portion |
they wasn’t missin’it |
so I got my hustle on the side, flippin’it |
sellin’like 500 bottles and Nicks, started minor |
but I always knew I’d turn a big apple into cider. |
Niggas… niggas just ain’t built like me… |
stand up niggas… since 15 |
I been servin’fiends and loadin’magazines… |
takin’shots.burnin'blocks. |
this ain’t no fuckin’rap. |
Everything was everything 'till my Man got pinched |
he had a shoot-out with the cops in front of the precinct |
other than that, I went from enforcer to movin’product, straight white |
powder now, gettin’it |
the hardest nigga in the street |
my first car was a 190 Benz with Louie Vaton seats |
buyin’out the bar at the rooftop |
I had a few spots |
one called the jukebox |
where I was gettin’like 50 a brick |
2 or 3 bricks a day, makin’mothafuckas sick |
my Cousin Ron a crook from the Brook was torchin' |
any niggas whisperin’or talkin''bout extortion |
shit was goin’right and only one better |
when I got my Italian connect, hittin’me with pure Heroin |
moved to 116th, started seein’real dinero then |
empire buildin', the shit was takin’flight |
had my bitches cuttin’up like 10 Ki’s a night |
mixin’lactose, Bonita, and Quenii |
I was the first Black nigga with mafia ties |
leased my soul to the Devil with the option to buy. |
Yo.bangin'for real. |
niggas is thinkin’rap, I’m thinkin’laundromat. |
we washin’this money… |
you think this shit is about rhymes… |
you’ll find yourself under the fuckin’ground…you know?.. |
we get low when the Feds is in town. |
this is justice. |
we playin’the pop charts and still lettin’them things pop off… |
At 21 I was a legend, had the game transformed |
controllin’manufacturin’and distribution of Heron |
throughout the tri-state, high stakes |
I spent Hundreds of Thou’s out of paper bags |
you couldn’t name a car I ain’t have |
every minute new tags |
Seven series to the Five-Sixty drop nigga |
I was givin’away blocks nigga |
fast cars, fast money, slow deaths |
this things of ours |
had me doin’a hundred miles an hour |
through the City evadin’the Feds |
started this shit called the counsel and we all made a pledge |
not to fuck each others bitches |
or touch each others riches |
on top or broke |
never break this oath |
every nigga in the counsel was a boss |
we used to put coke on our dick and make bitches suck it off |
it was alright 'till I got caught |
charged with an Eight-Forty-Eight |
behind Marion steel gates |
niggas started shittin', actin’bizarre |
drivin’my cars, fuckin’my broads, breakin’the laws |
same niggas I took care of and got money wit’was on some funny shit |
if I was different I’d snitch |
what would you do if you got Millions with niggas and they had no love |
for ya? |
couldn’t pay for ya lawyer |
I figured shit, why sit in a cell to rot? |
I’ll be out in Ten, start over again |
throw those boys in the pot, but I couldn’t do it you couldn’t understand it of you ain’t been through it there’s rules to this shit and I couldn’t break 'em |
death before dishonor 'till I meet Satan… I know he’s waitin'. |
God forgive me… you've never seen a nigga like me in your life… |
I’m what these lil’niggas rap about… |
thats me they talkin''bout in they rhymes… |
I did that time… I flipped that dime… |
shoot-outs, jet planes, cocaine and automobiles… |
The Life… love it. |
