[00:25.406] Execution
[00:27.178] The devil is a lie
[00:28.551] You ain't broke bread 'till you taste the devil's pie
[00:31.752] They say his laugh sounds like an angel when he cries
[00:34.790] What better camouflage when the halo's your disguise
[00:38.017] Them wings don't fly; your traitor is your neighbor
[00:41.174] At your front porch, and he's handing you your paper
[00:44.307] Bathrobe on, but the sword's underneath
[00:47.353] And he wanna see your blood as it pours in the street
[00:50.316] It's the mark of the beast
[00:52.273] The meek shall inherit the Earth;
[00:54.488] The weak shall inherit the dirt
[00:56.743] You each should have perished at birth
[00:59.126] Stillborn or aborted
[01:00.959] Every street tax gotta come with an audit
[01:04.104] Either your life, or your loved ones
[01:06.934] Straight razor or a snub-gun
[01:09.170] From the village where the thugs from
[01:11.537] Same corner that you copping all your drugs from
[01:14.632] He a hero, but he unsung, I'm the one
[01:29.350] Ayo homie, the chambers is 36
[01:32.660] They new and improved
[01:33.829] Now make a move, these guns whistle, sizzle up dudes
[01:37.012] Who got big mouths, no power
[01:38.572] Run in the bank with no dollars
[01:40.886] Got the nerve to switch crews
[01:42.745] We better than the rest of 'em, my guess is the estrogen
[01:45.703] And all the money we got, we move like the Mexicans
[01:48.646] A cartel, compound, a carvel, a large scale in Scarsdale
[01:53.175] I **** with golf now
[01:54.126] Sh***** is ill
[01:55.440] Yeah, the coke is fresh
[01:56.806] Straight out of Bermuda yo
[01:58.245] Or chilling on a beach in Boca Chica
[02:00.046] With tuna salads and palaces
[02:02.575] Yo, we smoke out them chalices
[02:04.731] Passing of the balances of bread to the Island since
[02:07.990] 1984, the blow was just more
[02:10.589] Then we would come trough with rifles rockin Nike boots and war
[02:14.645] A real *****'s invention that came from a henchman
[02:18.008] Who blew up, now throw the Wu up
[02:19.689] That's my redemption
[02:21.351] Drug dealer, been that ***** half my life
[02:24.172] Drug dealer, been that ***** half my life
[02:27.429] You *****s talking, but you ain't never seen 'em
[02:30.133] Imagine being first name basis with the kingpin
[02:33.863] God, I was Lucifer's neighbor
[02:35.396] You wouldn't believe some of the things these people do for this paper
[02:38.522] Moving with lasers under Rugers
[02:40.487] Make a move, you make the papers, lose lose situation
[02:43.397] Sweat or blood, you get to choose what you bathe in
[02:46.120] The chemists cookwork, the runners; footwork
[02:49.163] The custies took work
[02:50.752] The soldiers put work in
[02:52.225] On any of the mother****ers who ****ed up good work
[02:55.488] Bosses tell 'em: 'Good work,' that's just how the hood work
[02:58.672] Northface bubble with eight bundles under it
[03:02.017] Gold front upper-lip smile while I was hugging it
[03:05.121] I lied, I wasn't Lucifer's neighbor
[03:06.848] He who I'm ****ing with
[03:08.336] My moms threw that snow in her nose, but I would hustle it
[03:11.362] Champ hoodie, Mongoose with the pegs
[03:14.522] Clap your stoop up
[03:15.798] Hit moms duke in her legs
[03:17.659] That's beef *****, y'all ain't street *****s
[03:20.548] Y'all peep *****s, write it down and try to be *****s
[03:24.147] ****ing everything, neck heavy swing
[03:27.687] Second-hand swept across that pretty Breitling
[03:30.684] In that Nissan, Honda, Chevy thing peddling
[03:33.151] Whatever bring 'fetti in, steadily I fed my whole team
[03:36.747] Drug dealer, been that ***** half my life
[03:40.091] Drug dealer, been that ***** half my life
[03:43.365] You *****s talking, but you ain't never seen 'em
[03:46.085] Imagine being first name basis with the kingpin
[03:49.572] In this art of war, my pen stroke is Picasso
[03:53.309] *****s get the picture I ain't got to paint the nostrils
[03:56.684] You know my origins is over when
[03:59.243] Fat black ******* singing over organs
[04:01.938] Die for a dollar, pride you don't swallow
[04:05.001] You save that for the one you buying red bottoms
[04:08.170] Yuugh! That's the price you gotta pay for it
[04:11.717] All's fair in love and war, she masquerade for it
[04:14.939] Woo! Jack-O-Lantern Push
[04:17.619] Trick or treat, **** your ****
[04:19.174] I earned it off the books
[04:20.789] Now listen to me vent
[04:22.339] When you sitting watch, it's like the tires being spent
[04:25.515] Shots from everywhere, but they never make a dent
[04:28.662] Knight in shining armor
[04:30.235] Mistake me for the villain cause my vengeance is your karma
[04:33.426] Yeah, fear is knowing you're a goner
[04:36.599] This music to my soul, cause it's death before dishonor
[04:39.756] Gone
[04:47.612] Check! Got the tongue of a ****, raised by a dirty preacher
[04:52.572] That used the church money to cop a new Beamer
[04:55.475] Got the heart of a child raised by a **********
[04:58.501] That bought his momma the rubbers when a John came through
[05:01.755] It’s the microphone *********, greatest ever etched in stone
[05:05.226] You ain’t getting ***** like your prom date had a chaperone
[05:08.251] Popping pills got a ***** brain like a labyrinth
[05:11.323] Called the ho on purpose but I got the brain on accident
[05:14.524] ***** I’m your majesty, show up with a bag of weed
[05:17.590] Rolled a blunt so perfect, thought it came up out a factory
[05:20.919] My m****cript leave a man ripped of all his dreams
[05:24.108] The insomniac with nightmares in sixteens
[05:27.727] I’m a wet dream, dry sense of humor
[05:30.210] Travel in class like a high school rumor
[05:33.426] No one really cares if you embarrass us with style
[05:36.274] Cause when it comes to them raps you been letting us down
[05:39.690] So tell em why you're mad son
[05:41.586] Gotta get it off your chest, let em know how you feel son
[05:47.027] You gotta say what you say
[05:49.118] It don’t matter, they gonna say a ***** hating anyway
