[00:00.001][Intro:]
[00:00.002]("**** who that I offend
[00:00.900]Rappers, sit back, I'm 'bout to begin")
[00:06.922][Verse 1: Big L]
[00:23.596]I drive up and down Harlem blocks, iced-out watch
[00:26.348]Knots in my socks, cops think I'm selling rocks
[00:29.422]Pulling me over to see if I'm drunk, but I'm sober
[00:32.914]They wouldn't **** with me if I drove a Nova
[00:35.171]Listen Columbo, you're mad because your money come slow
[00:38.180]And what you make in a year I make in one show
[00:40.436]Now you wanna frisk me and search my ride
[00:42.944]Call me all kind of names, try to hurt my pride
[00:45.698]You're just mad 'cause I'm a young cat, pockets dumb fat
[00:48.460]Talking 'bout, "Where the gun at?" I been there and done that
[00:51.713]I'm through with that illegal life, I'm staying legit
[00:53.971]I love to see cars come cruising by and playing my shit
[00:56.476]I walk around with six thou' without a pistol, my whole clique's wild
[01:00.378]I'm rich, pal, no more sticks, I'm making hits now
[01:02.631]I drink Cristal, I'm through breaking laws
[01:05.135]I don't sell coke any more, I do tours
[01:07.646]So get that flashlight out of my face
[01:10.398]To bring me down, them Jakes will do whatever it takes
[01:13.158]Word up, them Federals got my phone and my house tapped
[01:16.163]Praying that I fall for the mousetrap, I doubt that
[01:18.669][Chorus: Big L]
[01:19.171]Why do I end up in so much shit?
[01:21.678]I done came way too far to be calling it quits
[01:24.181]Jake wanna lock me up, even though I'm legit
[01:26.943]They can't stand to see a young brother pockets get thick
[01:29.696][Verse 2: Fat Joe]
[01:29.946]Ayo enough's enough, Federals try to set me up
[01:33.122]Put me in cuffs and crush what I lust into dust
[01:35.374]Plus, they want a nigga's soul, but they know
[01:38.635]Big Joey Crack can never rat a cat that he know
[01:41.651]For sure, death before dishonor, I left the streets alone
[01:44.918]Since Tone deceased, it almost killed his mama
[01:46.922]So I'ma keep doing what I'm doing
[01:48.925]Pursuing my dream 'til there's enough cream to start my own union
[01:52.437]And show these kids how legit it is
[01:54.939]Shit is real, I used to steal but now I own several businesses
[01:57.698]So where's your witnesses you claim to have
[02:00.047]Saying that I'm taking half, extorting New York and not paying tax?
[02:03.049]I'm laying back playing the role, playing the low
[02:06.307]But it's the same old Joe so don't get KO'd
[02:08.813]Hey yo, I'm gonna fry for what I never did
[02:11.567]Or catch a heavy bid, why don't they just let a nigga live?
[02:14.076][Chorus: Big L]
[02:14.329]Why do I end up in so much shit?
[02:16.581]I done came way too far to be calling it quits
[02:19.340]Jake wanna lock me up, even though I'm legit
[02:22.107]They can't stand to see a young brother pockets get thick,ayo
[02:24.873]Why do I end up in so much shit?
[02:27.627]I done came way too far to be calling it quits
[02:30.386]Jake wanna lock me up, even though I'm legit
[02:32.892]They can't stand to see a young brother pockets get thick
[02:36.033][Outro]
[02:36.261]("What would you do
[02:38.830]If a vicious enemy suddenly started coming at you
[02:41.840]Armed to the teeth and ready to kill you?")
