ELO:
Welcome to the 716
This is the new era
Smoking on that gas
Is making my views clearer
Get a bad bitch
& I’m letting the crew nail her
& fuck all of them teachers
That said I would be a failure!
I’m good
Even though I’m still in the hood
When you at your worse point
Man that feeling ain’t good
So we eating
Get this chicken
Fuck all the beefing
Popping big bottles
It ain’t even the weekend
If you ain’t talking money
Why the fuck is we speaking?
You say your bitch is loyal
Why the fuck she be creeping
Try swimming with the sharks
You going to drown in the deep end
You ain’t ready for this life
Don’t even put your feet in
Took one too many shots I’m wasted
Rolled up one too many heads
I faced it
Working so hard I deserve a vacation
My dough on the rise & it just started baking
BENNY THE BUTCHER:
The streets cold
But my gun stay hot
With a shooter
When I maneuver
Through these upstate blocks
I sold packs
I put a trap
By a cupcake shop
& they don’t own shit on them
But they love they blocks
I seen a killer turn rat
Watch him lose his respect
Old G’s show me that love
Like they knew I was next
You got to cut the dead weight
That shit you do to progress
I had to body every verse
Just to prove I’m a threat
Ugh
Digi scale with a kilo near it
I turn it on & it start talking to me
Like ELO spirit
I paid a grip for everything I’m wearing
Versaci, javonci Nigga
This the type of shit you see in Paris
I’m in the Lo where it’s cold as usual
Coc stretching
Rolex’s with the Roman numerous
Crack stoves, trap phones here
The dough is beautiful
Young niggas pack Crome just to go to funerals
Ugh
I get a rush when I’m talking business
If you snitch we put holes in your tongue like the Jordan 6’s
They went from riding bikes
To parking benzes
I’m so ghetto
I could win a gold metal in the soft olympics
Ugh I react the boss way
Got fucked up had to crawl back the hard way
Me nigga
I’m the trap Lebron James
Nah
I’m the black Pat lefontaine nigga
BALISTIC MAN:
Ayo out of respect to ELO
I got to respect the people
& drop a verse on this cypher
He wanted the best of B-LO
& Lackawanna
To collaborate on this record needle
Playing the beat that you hearing
You’d better expect some evil
Shit to happen
When I get to rapping
I was pistol packing
While your mom changed your diaper
Wiping your ass with a shitty napkin
Got it popping on swan
But I had the whole city cracking
Running through these buffalo streets
I’ll tell you what really happened
Understand my logic
Money was the object
So I started selling coc
To everybody in the projects
But I was on some pride shit
Couldn’t tell me the feds we’re watching
Couldn’t show me a better option
Fuck the police
Let’s get it popping
But the feds were steady knocking
Like I was a mob boss
But the only L I took was my loss
That was my fault
There’s always a rat that’ll get in the door
What’s up with Paulie?
Oh Paulie?
We won’t see him no more!
