Check the
bassline out,
uh-huh
Jigga,
uh-huh uh-huh
uh-huh, yeah...
Uh huh
From standin on the
corners boppin to
drivin some of the
hottest cars New York
has ever seen
From droppin some of
the hottest verses
rap has ever heard
From the dope spot,
with the smoke Glock
fleein the
murder scene
You know me well
from nightmares of
a lonely cell
My only hell
But since when
y'all niggaz know
me to fail?
F**k naw
Where all my niggaz
with the rubber grips
Bust shots
And if you with
me mom I rub on
your tits
and what-not
I'm from the school
of the hard knocks,
we must not
Let outsiders violate
our blocks
and my plot
Let's stick up
the world and split
it fifty-fifty, uh-huh
Let's take the dough
and stay real
jiggy, uh-huh
And sip the Cris'
and get
pissy-pissy
Flow infinitely like
the memory of my
nigga Biggie, baby!
You know it's hell
when I come through
The life and times
of Shawn Carter
nigga volume two,
y'all niggaz get ready
I flow for those
'dro'ed out
All my niggaz
locked down in the
ten by fo',
controllin' the house
We live in
hard knocks
we don't take over
we borrow blocks
Burn em down and
you can have em back
daddy, I'd rather that
I flow for
chicks wishin
They ain't have to
strip to pay tuition
I see you
vision mama
I put my money
on the longshots
All my ballers that's
born to clock
Now I'm-a be on top
whether I perform
or not
I went from
lukewarm to hot
Sleepin on
futons and cots
to King Size
Dream machines,
the green fives
I've seen pies let the
thing between my
eyes analyze life's ills
Then I put it down
type Braille
I'm tight grill with
the phony,
rappers y'all might
feel we homies
I'm like still,
y'all don't
know me, shit!
I'm tight grill
when my situation
ain't improvin
I'm tryin to murder
everything movin,
feel me
I don't know how to sleep
I gotta eat,
stay on my toes
Gotta a lot of beef,
so logically,
I prey on my foes
Hustling's still
inside of me
And as far
as progress
you'd be
hard-pressed
To find another
rapper hot as me
I gave you prophecy
on my first joint
And y'all lamed out
Didn't really
appreciate it
till the second one
came out
So I stretched
the game out,
X'ed your name out
Put Jigga on top
and drop albums
non-stop for
ya, nigguh!
