(Verse)
|
The name¡¯s Troy Ave, I¡¯m about my words
|
If niggas want Statik I Selekt my guns
|
Got a ACB, that¡¯s for burglar rum
|
And the 38 steeds, that¡¯s for murder rate
|
I¡¯m all over yall, I¡¯ll take yo life
|
But I¡¯m giving up the role at a takers¡¯ price
|
I¡¯ll shake the dice with my freedom and gangs
|
Nightmare on fen street, I get the chills at night (movin them bricks)
|
Chicks should low on the ground, further more I move out
|
Only bullshittin probably so Biggie don¡¯t make a sound
|
(Shhh) that¡¯s a moment of silence
|
Loud pack, loud gats, it¡¯ll go to violence
|
Just another day in the hood, what the fuck
|
I¡¯m busy sellin yay in the hood, getting bucks
|
No opy on em, fuck that, give me opy on em
|
That little dumb fool, dope swag shit
|

|
I ain¡¯t have to write a nigga coke tales
|
I came up off of crack rock and coke sales
|
New York City, I¡¯mma restore order
|
¡®Cause most of these rap niggas is suckers in hot water
|
Bunch of suckers in love, I put on the glove
|
And pick up the snub and started shootin, fuck is enough
|
There ain¡¯t none, ¡®cause most is lame niggas is faggots
|
Bunch of my sons, I need to claim on taxes
|
Since there been a war on drugs there been a war on me
|
The pigs don¡¯t want me bringing bacon home apparently
|
I¡¯m doin all the corners,
|
Sendin all informers to the coroner
|
Countin drug money as euphoria
|
Started out selling nickels
|
Just to get a fistful, now it¡¯s 600 every fiscal
|
Still distribute young like Def Jam
|
And I steal and shoot hoops through yo chest man
|

|
I¡¯m the epitome of everything that the city is
|
My team is official while you roam with them idiots
|
Couple years back wasn¡¯t taking it serious
|
Got my mind right, now the buzzin is furious
|
Attitude rude like a chick on her period
|
Red leather jacket, Eddy Murphy delirious
|
Big mills lookin at me, niggas is curious
|
Don¡¯t trust a soul, mama raised me to live with this
|
Find a good wife, your little baby the prettiest
|
The place where I¡¯m from made me wanted to gridder this
|
The hand we were dealt ? it was one of the shittiest
|
I¡¯m ill with the words, nigga wun with the wittiest
|
Fuck with me, you fail something that¡¯s up like with me
|
African spears hit you the Britney with clap with clap with me
|
Stand in front of the court and bring shock to me, scrap with me
|
Brought them Corleone contracts with me
|
|

|
Yo, cocaine champions, killin their comparemanship
|
Charismatic with my fabric, throwin like my hammer spit
|
Fully auto, raw blow, watches from Tono
|
Everything¡¯s the same, that¡¯s not a game, just now we tour though
|
Double shine, overtime grind, we getting more dough
|
So smack em in the face and choke em out to let a nigga know
|
I put my fuckin hands around yo neck just like Figaro
|
Hard body everything, bought the block a wedding ring
|
I¡¯m in love with this lifestyle, entice while fuck them
|
I¡¯m livin it right now,
|
We might smile but ain¡¯t shit comical, movin economical
|
Royal to the name that¡¯s in the mirror cause to honor you
|
Stinkin crazy, bein on point, that¡¯s what the drama do
|
If I don¡¯t hit yo face then I¡¯mma touch something abdominal
|
Nothing¡¯s accidental, execute and playin wins
|
¡®Cause everyday and Charlie get a new buck like tam tims
