Rotten Apple

[Chorus]
*Nas sample*
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Or caught by the devil's lasso, shit is a hassle
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin'-dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Or caught by the devil's lasso, shit is a hassle
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin'-dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Or caught by the devil's lasso, shit is a hassle

[Verse 1]
As a young man, walking in these streets where my gun clean
To sell grams, to chop-shop, make the extra ends
The destructive sins to make me inhale within
All the reefa that I choke, don't provoke, get smoked
Half your team left bloody while I'm solving with coke
The streets is no joke, and traces of cancer from gun smoke
Open up your eyes and realize that time fly by
Caught up with true lies, I don't even believe myself some time
Staying laced up, chasing Absolut' with crime
These streets is mine, I dress in black and strap up my nine
Although I'm going through a lot busting cops for props
Keeping loose rocks for every fiend that wanna come cop
I damn near sweat to death thinking 'bout the seed, I got to bless
Although I rest, gotta leave some money in his chess
Allah bless all my people's lying up state to death
Street stress, I'm tryna see a billion nothing less

[Chorus]
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin'-dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Or caught by the devil's lasso, shit is a hassle
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin'-dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Or caught by the devil's lasso, shit is a hassle

[Verse 2]
My life's a struggle
The preachers in the church know how to thug you
First, they mug you by telling God that they love you
Son fuck that, staying in the street packing heat
Fuck a TNT sweep, my people's we got to eat
Moving on a creep tryna stack a million in a week
Wisely can't even trust my man down, one deep
Niggas saying showing mad love but act like thugs
Not in my team, we tryna see nothing else but cream
Coming for Queens, peace to whole boroughs doing their thing
However, you last long 'cause you don't go out getting blast
Never placing last, shooting at these niggas getting cash
Rudy hit the stash, fucking with this life that's going bad
Do I live at last? Got my first extortion from a Arab
I got bag from all these fucking warrants I had
Drinking Remy fast with lieutenant criminal business
Exchange coke for spinach, one false move you finished

[Chorus]
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin'-dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Or caught by the devil's lasso, shit is a hassle
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin'-dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Or caught by the devil's lasso, shit is a hassle

[Verse 3]
For the love, money, murder and sex, I push a Lex
To my death don't sweat, low down niggas holding they tecs
Diamond flooded necks, condos top-notch connect
Plus we stack cream for fiends that you never seen
Live in Killer Queens, base land niggas do they thing
Let the money build, holding on my gun, keep it real
Thugs in New York talking slick talk, holding your fort
While I'm blowing judges in court, maintain the sport
Showing no support, catching cases running through current
I stay blunted, 'cause in these streets Flush is wanted

[Chorus]
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Or caught by the devil's lasso, shit is a hassle
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin'-dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Or caught by the devil's lasso, shit is a hassle
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin'-dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Or caught by the devil's lasso, shit is a hassle
