(Big Mike)

Lets lock it up whut,whut
Hit the street ^!$$%


I been watching these gotti ^!$$%z for while now
I like they style and I like they style now
I like the way they travel close like a family,huh

Tightly knitted, well-known band of G's
I'm for that cheese
I did a couple of jobs for em, some mob %#@! I kill a ride for

Lied for em, in the process I made some paper stacks
Wanted to chill but was a lil to late for that
On the real they say they like the way I twirk it

Flat book style made dollars coming from dirt quick
Gold tooth smile, they had a vacancy in the outfit
Were these the type of cats I wanna be down with

Don't $#&@ around with it
Something was kinda telling me,
But it seems curiousity got the best of me

Slip through the seams, cuz cream I'm one of the paid men
Remember the days when I was nuthin but a slave then
Some ^!$$%z came in the days when

Between them all, I balled and always stayed pen
Tried not to fall on my toes I had to stay partner
Cuz when you fall is when these mutha$#&@in snakes gotcha

Right or wrong, now is it wrong for me to roll this way
Is it for me to put paper away for colder days
What would say, cold $$# questions I had to ask myself

Wasn't trying to give way to soul just to have some wealth
My cause advanced thats how they came to me
Temptation all through my life had me claiming %#@!

Now blaming me for misleading the younger heads
Wondering if I might be out there on the run from feds
Who else be dead, hard to say partner to many faces

Keep ballin outta town, in unfamiliar places
I'm starting to hate this %#@! I thought I once loved to death
I thought I'd be around to day when there was nuthin

Looking all sad at times just might be the death of me, huh
Outta line will ^!$$%z have respect for me
Like Mike B had ??? adreneline, to main from northline

My ^!$$%z cut in short time
^!$$%z who been down for figures I promised
Take a wheel took me around all these unfamiliar streets

Blowin sweets,huh gazing a thiefs, black laquer flows
Lavish $$# bus sitting just for tours, cash for ???
Mutha$#&@as telling me that the world is yours

At the time I couldn't figure if these ^!$$%z hearts were pure
Were they $#&@in with me mentally or was it my destiny
That this click right here just happen to be meant for me

If they had love would it show itself it due time
Crystal camera sorted like a shoe shine
New era, new ideas bout to come to life

But is the right year what really was instore for Mike
Which way shall roll take left or move another right
Will I find happiness or will I meet my death tonight

If my guess is right I might just fall right in between
A better team, a better scene and piece of this ^!$$%z green
??? gleam tell the stories of my past worries

Reminise on soldier tales of no nuts no glory
Whats really forme decisions, decisions
When all I wanted was a mission of peace

Security from these cold $$# streets woes me
A simple matter though it's complicated
^!$$%z who I once thought were friends yet in my mind most hated

Graduated status, afraid men, never paid men
Never been in the company of made men


(Hook x2:)
Afraid men
Never been in the company of paid men

Mutha$#&@in made men nigg
