[Intro]
A-Yo!

A-Yo!
You wanna rock with a whore to say
A-Yo!
You got a pocket full of cash
A-Yo!
You rockin' with the b-o-s-s, like

[Hook]
Shit jump off when they call my name
Walk through the door we be off the chain
Look at me, look at you man we ain't the same
I'm a b-o-s-s-m-a-n
[Verse 1: Bossman]
I'm a hundred, cold blooded rain snow thunder
No summer, heater oven, heat'em like I does it
No fronter, no stunner
Realest as they come and the illest may sell no millions but fuck it I'm number one
And we got run up, ru-run up, run up on the game
Did I stutter
Yeah I stuttered
Compared to your brain
I'm a son of
Son of a hustler selling cocaine
Moms and pops is living and sniffing now what a shame
But it made, ma-made my flow a grenade
Fresh braids, olds caps, shades cover my face
In the place to be BE
Bullet from B
As we proCEED
To give you what you NEED
[Hook]
Now what goes up, must come DOWN
Fill up your cup get drunk and get DOWN
Drop your hood, let it go DOWN
Ballas go up is about to go DOWN
(a-yo!) x 8
A-Yo!
I hope you don't think we won't JUMP
Tear the roof off this bitch and go NUTS
Fuck what you say, I do what I WANT
In the club we thump we thump we thump THUMP
[Hook]
Shit jump off when they call my name
Walk through the door we be off the chain
Look at me, look at you man we ain't the same
I'm a b-o-s-s-m-a-n
[Verse 2: Bossman]
I'm maniatic
Back at it

Illmatic to stillmatic
Make my flow matic
Automatic
Spit rap it
Ratatat tat it
They ratted up to them bitches about niggas serving them addicts
On the ave av-ave down in B'more
Where they a a-average a body getting blown
For every day of the year
This the land of the O
The murda capitol
Capitol B-OOOOH
S S niggas, yes niggas, bulletproof vest spitter
When they spit at me, ricochet and hit the next nigga
Roll the fire up
Fill your cup, with the best liquor
Throw your hood up, like your stomach does (a set nigga)
[Hook]
Now what goes up, must come DOWN
Fill up your cup get drunk and get DOWN
Drop your hood, let it go DOWN
Ballas go up is about to go DOWN
(a-yo!) x 8
A-Yo!
I hope you don't think we won't JUMP
Tear the roof off this bitch and go NUTS
Fuck what you say, I do what I WANT
In the club we thump we thump we thump THUMP
[Hook]
Shit jump off when they call my name
Walk through the door we be off the chain
Look at me, look at you man we ain't the same
I'm a b-o-s-s-m-a-n
