You talk a good one, but you don't want it I don't got time for your petty thinking mindġ3 years in the projects, my mentality is what, kid Yo, it's a must the gats we trust safeguardin' my life He ain't a crook son, he's just a shook one There's numerous ways you can choose to earn fundsĬowardly hearts end straight up shook ones, shook ones Livin' the live, that of diamonds and guns Or the next rhyme I write might be about youĬause ain't no such things as halfway crooks Now, take these words home and think it through Getting closer to God, in a tight situation When the slugs penetrate, you feel a burning sensation If I die, I couldn't choose a better location Meanwhile back in Queens the realness is foundation Why they still alive? I don't know, go figure So I can get my mind off these yellow backed niggas It ain't nuttin' really, ay yo dun, fuck the Philly You all up in the game and don't deserve to be a playaĪnother nigga deceased, another story gets told I guarantee you it'll be your very last time breathin' You can put your whole army against my team and Speak the wrong words man and you will get touched They come around but they never come close toĬowards like you just get they're whole body laced up You're all alone in these streets, cousinĮvery man for theirself in this land we be gunnin' Yeah, to all the killers and the hundred dollar billersįor real, niggas who ain't got no feelingsįor all of those who wanna profile and pose
