[intro: raekwon (man)]
(aiyo chef?) what up my ^!$$%?
(yeah man i gotta give you the 411 $%&^x is straight 911 word)

It's $2.50 ^!$$% back the $%&^x up! talk to me...
(word them blue ninjas is everywhere
Word watch ya back protect ya neck and all that $%&^x man

Thirty nine $%&^$%&^$%&^$%&^x already got scooped up
Indicted word i'm bird eye viewing it right now
Out there out the mother$#&@ing window)

You got the strong scoopers out there?
(word five book store buses out front
All them young boys are certified they our rentals)


[chorus 2x: suga bang bang]
For these mean streets from cali to new york

Who could ya trust? ^!$$%z they do talk
Running from the feds and out of state troopers
Look up ahead you know we got sharp shooters


[raekwon]
The blocks is molded step up ya sword piece

Moving through them housing with more ki's
Rembrandts is fresh from scotland crisp hats cristal bottles
^!$$%z want the problems we back

It's time to take over the game it's nothing
I live on the line from corner to castles with pawns and capsules
Scramble and find my money's up i'm praying for war

I do this all the time all the time all the time
Faces of doom sling in the lobby
Swinging cooked raw if you played the field you was not leaving

Fast pace of a cream chasing team
Trying to come through the hood and lie get left for dead naked in queens
Let them other ^!$$%z wear that we take the credit

While we was shopping for more nikes and off-whites
!#@# stirrers the crib cracked mirrors
Career thugs who serve only judges and jurors

Got to make my money this year whether it's through rhyming or criming
I'll be on the line with my iron
Promised them llamas'll fly fast quick at pirahnas

Trying to intervene get caught dead no head in pijamas
You live like a slouch from vouchers
Nobody mad you was a fake dead die with no trousers

Cause you crossed the line like miller's crossing
Off with ya dome i walked you through the woods we both smoked a bone


[chorus 2x]

[inspectah deck]

Mean streets...
Just when i thought i was out they pulled me back in
The streets stay flooded with crack rocks and mac shots

The scenery's money guerrillas in the back drop
The livest'll pop the weakest get chopped where they stand
Singing the judge's name dropped in the stand

Drug money kills blood on my bills mud on my nikes
Only buying with the couple that i trust with my life
Twenty four sev' ducking the feds infrared wtih lead

Gamble with off track betting instead
In my hood anybody can get it and everybody want it
Cutthroat executives the corners the office

And the thought is to be boss of all bosses
The cost is ya life swimming with sharks and orcas
So keep ya guards up or get scarred up

It's a cold world i told you with allah just'
The bigger the funds the bigger the guns that's blazing
It's sick in the slums and ^!$$%z are stunting for nathin'


[ghostface killah]
Aiyo my gun been in more ^!$$%z mouths than a $%&^xx had dick

With creamy nuts on the side of her jaw
It's rigatone ^!$$% sliding through airports
Riding on ^!$$%z like mj same day i rocked you comprende?

Yeah i'm kinda off cuz my guns was dirty
That last joint that hit you kid you made the top thirty
Early walk with me and strap with a vengeance

More or less ghostface killah'll stretch you out like mad words in a sentence
Smell the gas burning (yeah) feel the fire (word)
Real talk it's not that bull%#@! from the wire
It's them disco kids that clap iron
Champion hoods if ya !@%!e don't freeze my face is not worth frying

We crack eightballs with pool sticks
Bungee jump off a mountain of bricks
$#&@ you up if you slinging those nicks
Toney starks from the octagon my ox is on
Snap matt hughes' neck with my boxers on


[chorus 2x]
