	作词 : Mason V., Posdnuos ...
	It's strong island for real, where the critters run wild
	The prefix is 516, the top of the dial
	Through the
	L.I. Sound, to the villa down under
	And across the globe
	I heard a lot of folks wonderin'
	So when's it coming 'cause the stakes is high
	See big money that waves, don't put the pen to my page
	And ain't nothin' wrong with standing still and relaxing
	And spendin' some of that cash that
	Uncle Sam is gonna tax
	A New York demeanor is sit back in the beamer
	With nothing to lose but some gas and some minutes
	Ignorin' the gazers 'cause some stars don't get petty
	And that trash you talk is just
	New Years confetti
	It's like that y'all, but that's all 'bout to change
	Like some of my own, people tend to act strange
	I'm making a scene and it's served with it's capabilities
	So set it at an island's degrees
	It's strong island for real, the diagnosis is supreme
	The prefix is 516, where microphones fiend
	The voices that gots the gift, 'cause the world is on their shoulders
	Makin' plans to switch from little rock to money boulders
	The real proceed
	My girl stands deep from
	Nubians actin' like
	Columbians sellin' keys
	Characters have the tendency to con themselves
	To think the
	East Coast is only
	New York and
	Philadelph
	You know the way we blow, your shit is played like pork
	And as for what we be bringin' you, we live and direct from
	New YorkI oughta say my fam causes commerces
	Steppin' to me fool will get you punched out like a curse
	It's like that y'all, let it all consume
	Like them brothas who smoke, 'til they high like the moon
	Soon to a town near you be them super emcees
	Settin' them
	Long Island degrees
	I hit the
	L.I.R.R. for big dreamers out east
	And get your bank roll split, bangin' dents out your systems
	Sellin' points to get the uppercut like
	Sonny Liston
	But eyes closed episodes, bring you back to zeroes
	The same herp playin' like he
	Casablanca
	Blind to it, but
	I'm a grind him up a cup of
	SankaServin' dimes loves on tennis courts and sorts
	Laid back like grown folks sippin' tea for sport
	I be sweepin' up the room with my lyrical broom
	While others rhymes smell like plastic like some lunch room utensil
	The official color for this planet is green
	Which growns in pockets of them people willing to scheme
	Ain't no expose, these facts are from the mouth
	Profilin' through
	Island with that wind from down south
	At last, be the world broad cast from the crew who gave you 3's
	Magic on an island degrees
	It's strong island for real where the critters smoke fritters
	Night time excites time for the heavy hitters
	Gang on hers 'cause in the mean time mine is home on date
	Fluffin' pillows, impatiently waitin', ain't no debatin''
	Bout to settle, check the level stakes is high as the sky
	I got questions about your life if you so ready to die
	We in the last quarter y'all, somebody's gonna cry
	I think they need to set the clock before the time pass by
	In the round one no nines, my size can get swelly
	Sensing danger,
	I will play a ranger on my celly with my felly
	We're wonderful like colorful flix
	Provide a thread and needle, every time the stages get ripped
	I grip upon the pleasure, sippin' the tea
	On the island 'cause that island is the main artery
	So uh, you better come and give respect for catch some of these
	Knucks from the island degrees
