and the kick hurts so good that i gotta sorta accents for this

nation cuz i place you on the dynamite, right?
the creamin’ to schemin’ to get it right
the means almighty dolla
the green power, let loose for the hour
i chose the black power, extra fly joint
from marker to to yellow paper
and you know i don’t delay
together with my honey like silk is so

and no quittin or gettin jumped by the system

and cuts and crew, no blue eyes to emulate, some straight but yea we straight up

do a borough check to see exactly who in the joint
hot spots, city streets, live spots and jeeps
as a flow-er i’m nile, rivers of style
fresh kid

its that nickle slick nig keep it deep for my heads
let a fed up, appearin in my camouflage
my hustler walk say new york
su fronts say gucci we make lucci
and never hesitastes to set it
slap hands with my mans from the lands of crook
bein lovely over jams that’s on the flams with hook
burn musk, wear cush, its flatbush
hear the mental’s instramental cuz it’s ash to dust
i like to hit live deep, keep fam tight tight
keep the vocal strictly any joint, that’s right
let me fly
ease back, the g’s back with the r
sun is in the clouds on loud
i got raised by the dim street lights of four cities
my heros died in prison, george jackson
action, she’s buttaflyin, i’m cool eye’n
and i rocks no low unless a scrambler got me
me and my honeys, we be like bobby and erica
me and my moneys, we’ll hurt you boulevard and pie up
one love, gun love come free the land with us
pigs they cannot shoot this plush and creamy lavishness
before i pop i’d rather die in baggy guess and timbs
and i put that on the b-k-l-y-n and that’s
funky
