Lyrics[]
On another track don't want none of dat that
With no water and no slaughter
No breaks I just continue on, but no takes
I keep going, keep flowing, no stopping that
You see everybody watching that
You see I got the lock so I'll be lockin' that, you can't get the keys
Especially from me, I keep 'em so tight in my the pocket
You'd better watch it, as a matter of fact you'd better stop it
I'm too hot, better hop scotch it and go up down the block, or you might catch a shot, one two—plah, plah
My flow is like I'm straight
For your face when I come through
I ant hear the hearts, I'm just aimin for the brains
Tryin to make 'em smart and take 'em outta dangers way
I say maintain the day
I show the shoulders how to maintain the way to sole righteous
The nicest, and do it like its priceless, iceless
No, I got a couple those watch us in a couple cars
And I keep a couple flows in a couple bars
And I keep a couple hoods in a couple stars
And my bag pocket you can bag watch it
You better bag stop it like its cricky
I keep a wicky doogly when I stick it, be like the bat man itchy
You can come through just like don't pinch it out
I'll knock it out the park it be so dark
By the time I'm done, there'll be no sun
There'll be no one, see the crowd so empty,
I'll still be there rhymin' see it don't tip me,
I don't feel guilty either, I feel so filthy when I…
Flowin' like ether Burnin' that shit down and turnin' them broads around
And showin' 'em there's better ways to get it down
Yeah, yeah, I'm feeling like an iPod look at my god, I got my head down to heaven
See I pray to the east, I try to do it seven times a day
Do my way, may god forgive me for the prayers that I didn't do
And for the fast that I didn't fast
I hope you make my success last longer than the rest of them
Or if not, keep so intelligent that I stay beyond it and don't care about the success or the change
I don't care nowhere, but I do care about you, don't ever let 'em doubt you
Don't ever let 'em try to put the mouth to the violence, the silence
That I bring is so deafening to the ears and the eyes
And they can watch if they want to
See us gonna haunt you
The ghosts of the past come through so fast
You lay 'em down but the they can't
You try to put it in the trash but it jumps out the garbage
Yet it still returns to be the hardest on the market
