[Verse 1: Wale]
New York get the blood money
Real ^!$$%s smoking loud $$# weed

Still counting my math, La Marina
Summertime I be in the spot
On the hood %#@!, smell me ^!$$%s, itâ??s all

DC got love for me
Young ^!$$%s sippinâ?? all that lean (try lowinâ?? them down)
Real live at the town, they be go-goâ??d out

And play the let out, smell me, ^!$$%, still flat out, uh
Chilly weather, Balmain with many zipper
Iâ??m ballinâ??, see my closet a dollar of Penny's in them

And I ainâ??t talkinâ?? about no problems
Cause problems get finished quick with â??em
^!$$%s ch-ch-chopper br-br-brat in a ^!$$%

Know that the city vicious
Drug dealing right here appealing
Like they some villains and something they had the hero in again, uh

Now here I come and who carries Maryland with â??em?
The crabs in the bucket?
$#&@ it Iâ??ve been aquarium clearinâ??, uh

Coming through with some young [?] goons
Rest in peace for [?]
Used to rock them Melo number two's

That was â??02, maybe â??03, oh, please
Stop it, youâ??re origami, Iâ??m finna fold crews
Uh, overseas to the back block

Uh, straight Gâ??s where Iâ??m at [?]
Uh, and we done seen it growing up
When the fiends get they look

They always jukinâ?? like itâ??s black rock
Spin it, you know letâ??s get it
Take this money, Iâ??ma take your (*##$es

And no Iâ??m not a gangsta, but I stay authentic
Thatâ??s why I go up to any place and remain unblemished
[?] Iâ??m great with the lyrics

The ^!$$%s upstate saying 'Le ^!$$%s tell it like â??'Le ^!$$%s tell it"
Say the ^!$$%s tell â??em
I swear a ^!$$% heard I ainâ??t eâ??er been a wilder

Redbone redbone, well put together
Put it in my cell, I can put it in your belly
Kettering. whatâ??s up? Landover. whatâ??s up?

Roll pass Ardmore. feeling local as $#&@
Audemar? keep it on, ^!$$%s wonâ??t even touch
When you home and you humble you get a lot of respect

And ^!$$%s trappinâ?? trying to get at all the bread
Get up out of the jungle, get his daughter a bed
Get his son some gear, find a pot he can piss in

So quarters moving back and forth like it's a lottery ticket
And to be honest who gon' want McDonalds position?
No time for chicken nuggets but somehow they find all of the dippers

They slipping

[Clip from Elaine]

Hey. I just spent a lot of time and I have eaten a lot of crap to get where I am today. And I am not throwing it all away now

Blood money (yeah yeah)


[Verse 2: A$AP Ferg]
Ah (blood blood)

Daddy, daddy was a legend
Harlem born, money gettin'
'til he pull an armageddon

Trigger brrrr cerebellum
Mellow at the 7/11
Mama had to call the reverend

Daddy teach your hood a lesson from the seven Mac-11
8:30 eight mack ten crack ones
Putting genocide on my Black friends

Richard Porter seen the slaughter
Alpo kinda sorta was a ho
Cause he left the whole hood and he didnâ??t water, dam

%#@! ^!$$%s still glorify
He had all the rise
He had all the (*##$es $#&@ing all the thots

He the man, rocking Dapper Dan
With a gun in hand, Pakistan
I donâ??t understand how you kill your man (damn)
I donâ??t understand how you kill your man
!@%&, how you kill your man over money when

Two Harlem kids in a gang do the devilâ??s dance
Cause the greed of money had them caught up all up in a trance

[Verse 3: Wale]
$#&@ ^!$$%s taking nothing from me

Sun going down in a town
Ainâ??t nothing funny
Little buddy
On a corner where a quarter
On the 5-0 and the law

And the mind tripping off the water
Talking to herself in public
Iâ??m looking off of South Florida Avenue
Havenâ??t you heard of the dealers and loiterers
The trappers and murderers

I could see [?]
Until you see the glory in its own
I don't see you ^!$$%
[?] they can see ^!$$%
They see you on CDs and see you on the scene slipping
You being hot you see Iâ??m Pac

Donâ??t pee in public
We ainâ??t seen peace in these parts
No Teen Summit, blood money
