| [00:25.640] | From standin on the corners boppin |
| [00:27.710] | to drivin some of the hottest cars New York has ever seen |
| [00:29.980] | For droppin some of the hottest verses rap has ever heard |
| [00:33.260] | From the dope spot' with the smoke Glock |
| [00:35.180] | fleein the murder scene' you know me well |
| [00:37.160] | from nightmares of a lonely cell' my only hell |
| [00:40.500] | But since when y'all niggaz know me to fail? **** naw |
| [00:43.550] | Where all my niggaz with the rubber grips' bust shots |
| [00:46.500] | And if you with me mom I rub on your tits' and what-not |
| [00:49.820] | I'm from the school of the hard knocks' we must not |

| [01:39.759] | I flow for chicks wishin' they ain't have to strip to pay tuition |
| [01:43.430] | I see you vision mama' I put my money on the longshots |
| [01:47.150] | All my ballers that's born to clock |

| [01:52.700] | I went from lukewarm to hot; sleepin on futons and cots |
| [01:56.0] | to King Size' dream machines' the green fives |
| [01:58.470] | I've seen pies let the thing between my eyes analyze life's ills |
