From standin on the corners boppin |

To drivin some of the hottest cars New York has ever seen |
| [00:30.01] |
For droppin some of the hottest verses rap has ever heard |
| [00:32.19] |
From the dope spot with the smoke Glock |
| [00:34.83] |
Fleein the murder scene you know me well |

From nightmares of a lonely cell my only hell |

But since when y'all niggaz know me to fail F**k naw |

Where all my niggaz with the rubber grips bust shots |

Let outsiders violate our blocks and my plot |

To King Size dream machines the green fives |
| [01:58.17] |
I've seen pies let the thing between my eyes analyze life's ills |
| [02:01.22] |
Then I put it down type braile |
