[00:05.55] | We got the Refugee Allstars rub-a-dubbing in the club |
[00:09.34] | Wyclef Jean, John Forte, Praswell |
[00:18.04] | Nah mean, the streets are getting a little crazy.. Nah |
[00:20.14] | Looka looka looka looka looka |
[00:22.03] | Looka looka looka here looka shorty got back |
[00:23.77] | Should I ask her for a dance? Hold on -- there's too many in the wolf pack |
[00:27.02] | And besides, Dirty Cash talking to her |
[00:29.42] | Buying her fake furs and taking her to The Fever |
[00:31.76] | Quiet as it's kept, that ain't even his Benz |
[00:33.95] | She spends his Franklins at the malls with her friends |
[00:36.74] | Material girl, living in a material world |
[00:38.98] | But it's all right cause it's Saturday night |
[00:41.17] | |
[00:43.66] | And all you college students, play your Ouijas |
[00:46.06] | |
[00:50.89] | You ain't even close with the rhymes that you wrote |
[00:53.38] | Don't be mad cause you broke |
[00:54.53] | |
[00:57.12] | John Forte, grab the mic, let's sway this way |
[01:00.86] | I'm more than just a rhymer, you still a small timer |
[01:02.85] | Hoping that the game treat that ass a little kinder |
[01:05.34] | Every step tango'd |
[01:06.34] | Your beef don't concern me |
[01:07.99] | I'm eating mangoes in Trinidad with attorneys |
[01:10.13] | My crew's slang flow worldwide like a current |
[01:12.47] | With the every spot where nobody got insurance |
[01:14.95] | Brother, do the math -- you ain't half near exotic |
[01:17.45] | My man's claim true; you -- forget about it |
[01:19.84] | Po-po just a nuisance, like my influence |
[01:22.23] | Well, recognize you a lie trying do it |
[01:24.68] | Got juice—told your lady |
[01:25.87] | Oops! We Nutz Baby Oops |
[01:27.12] | Smooth and charismatic, automatic |
[01:29.12] | You gonna save me |
[01:29.96] | God bless the day that my sons survive |
[01:31.86] | We strive to teach the youth, baby, and stay alive |
[01:48.27] | Well, you can tell by the way I roll, shorty, that I'm a ladies man |
[01:52.40] | A business man |
[01:53.74] | Condos down the shore |
[01:54.79] | Multi-million pension plan |
[01:56.03] | But it ain't in my plan to make moves without the fam |
[01:59.05] | I keep it intact |
[02:00.19] | Yo 'Clef, do the track |
[02:01.43] | John, play the mack while I pay the tax |
[02:03.78] | Business as usual |
[02:04.98] | Watching suspects steal my assets |
[02:06.42] | Get cut with Gillettes |
[02:08.66] | We built this concept, connect like NYNEX |
[02:11.15] | Drinks at the bar, my American Express |
[02:13.59] | Yo I cook up cook up Yo |
[02:14.59] | The copper pull up pull up |
[02:15.64] | Then I cuff up cuff up |
[02:16.78] | You who's calling bluff |
[02:18.28] | Now you shook up shook up |
[02:19.23] | Cause you lock up lock up |
[02:20.47] | When I love up love up |
[02:21.72] | You who's calling bluff |

[02:25.70] | Dirty Cash dealing |
