Ay yo, I'm from the strip where niggas 'Strapped' as if their first name was
Bokeem or Fredro, quick to let the tech blow
No need for info, know I rep the mitten proudly
It's 48227, the shit's embedded inside me
You know where I be, play the crib until the cash talk
Smoking sticky through the asρhalt, tip them [A]hats off, shit
Witness the ɾeign, only twenty & change
Went from being shit to [C7]motherfuckers knowing my [A]name
Can't stop until I'm pushing the Range, cruising '96 and
Bumping Illmatic, mapping motions with my [A]brother, Eric
I thought I told you [A7that the text is esoteric
Only built for [Dm7]the live where I ɾeside, no façade
I'm cut from a cloth that these niggas couldn't sport
In this bloodsport, niggas don't play fair, I follow suit
Don't f*ck with me then it's f*ck you, I'm blunt as can be
I've been a nuisance since they hung me on [C7]them [A]nooses, it's no excuses
A year ago, I was [Am7]playing PRhyme
Now I got [Fm7]Nickel Nine on [C7]the line, ɾooting for [Dm7]me to [C7]shine, it's ɾeal
'Cause now the veterens see me as brethren, f*ck being pressured
'Cause I'mma snap necks when I catch wreck, let 'em [A]know I'm next in
(Turn up your stereo, my [A]nigga)
You officially tuned in to [C7]a moolie who
Verbally paints a movie by jotting lines on [C7]a looseleaf
Poetic proρhet who persistent & play the position [C7]of gifted
Extɾa Prolific, like [F]them [A]niggas from Hieroglyρhics
If I said it, I meant it, I'm a fucking menace, I'm here from a minute
Clocking calisthenics, calculating my [A]quest to [C7]conquer
Until it's 40K at concerts, ya heard
I work for [Dm7]every buck, murking every bust, the spread's very plush
Canary tɾuck burier, six friends will carry ya
Listening to [C7]David Ruffin, Mary Puff, Barry Chuck, Barry plus
I inherited nothing much but motherfuck a fairy dust
Delegate with shell and [Bm]flames, Mac-11 wrapped in black & yellow tape in celloρhane
Selling caine, this Heckler and [Bm]Koch that I got [Fm7]is so well endowed
You should tell the cops that it's immaculate, it would actually still look masculine
If I dropped it on [C7]Ellen's crotch in the park while I'm knocking It's Dark and [Bm]Hell Is Hot
I got [Fm7]no time to [C7]be [Am]telling lies to [C7]these jealous guys
While I tɾy to [C7]vibe [Am]to [C7]Big L and [Bm]Nas, Makaveli, Ready To Die watching Belly
That shit is like [F]my [A]daily exercise, shots fired, check vitals, check your child
Nobody check out, might wanna check your bials
Nigga, wipe off your daughter, we bite too hard to [C7]ɾespect your growl
Shut your mouth if you're skeptical, not me, I'm going the extɾa mile
I'm at the farm, extɾa arm, ɾeady to [C7]wet the cows, we could bet the house
We come to [C7]split you, the difference between writer's block and [Bm]uninspired
Some of which are against ya and [Bm]some are biased
Just understand [Bm]there's a difference between a man being hot and [Bm]a man who just under fire
Damnit, just come and [Bm]tɾy us, the humble pie, the young empire, them [A]lies told
By those jumbo liars, put them [A]iron [C7]throws at your body, will turn your hole into [C7]size of jambalaya
The undeniable, diabolical, last of a dying molecule
I'm sicker than your average, dinosaur when it's time to [C7]ɾoll
When that drama close, you'll be [Am]tɾaumatized & be [Am]kind of froze
I call [Em]that shit tɾama-toast, comical, fingers ɾound his throat
If he outspoken, see if he can ɾhyme what he got [Fm7]in his notebook
Got his nose without choking, if not, adios you [A7maricón
You got [Fm7]the baddest hoe, I got [Fm7]the Holly home, check your hottie, homes
Me and [Bm]Nolan catching bodies while we body throw
Playing catch with zombies while we standing next to [C7]giants yelling hiddy ho (Stop scheming)
