Track #7 from Naj’s Cave To Canvas album.
Another shift in tone and mood, Naj enlists the album’s first official rap feature, his blood related cousin, Snubbs, for a stand-alone trap/club record.
This record shows the contrast in Naj’s personality, as he’s not always the conscious and easy-going y...
[Intro: Excerpt from hood classic movie, "Juice"]
Q: Yo big man, if you want respect you gotta earn it?
Bishop: You damn right? You gotta be ready to throw down
Stand up, and die for that shit like Blizzard did, if you want some juice
Q: Blizzard? Blizzard ain't sticking up to nothing now?
Bishop: That's cause we wasn't there to back him up. If we was there...
Q: If we was there, it'd be 5 dead niggas instead of one!
[Verse 1: Naj]
All my real niggas been way live
Since way back, back then
When pop taught me
Never be scared of my black skin
And pay homage to old folks that sat in
Looking back
How I end up rapping?
Set up to go another route to bring the racks in?
Now I'm hoping you hear me out
While I weave my way out of mediocrity
Shit, only a few tracks in
And I'm already reminiscing about what I been through
Went from running on a track
To tracking out instrumentals
Hopping on the back of buses
To copping rentals
For a night for the life
Hit your bitch, it's a Reynolds
Cause we, blow that loud, blow that loud
Hit once kick her out, Naj you know that's foul
Well a hoe gon' be a hoe and even if she gotta give the Ok
I ran the show and she know that now
I got the juice
Motherfucker in a minute
Made more lemons into lemonade
Just to demonstrate
How to get to work early
Not a minute late
But still move a pack to afford summer dinner dates
Winter J's, Vacays on them winter days
With enough dick riders to offend the gays
Since I got the juice I been stuck in a daze
Kept it locked down, so fuck the rats that's stuck in the maze
[Hook: Naj]
Club On fire
Tear the roof down
Yeah they ask
Who the truth now
Getting loose
Off the goose now
Straight to the chase
But I'll never put the juice down
Out in BK getting Lit
Headed back Uptown
Gotta cop a zip
Don't make us catch a Vic
[Verse 2: Snubbs]
Oh you mad now 'cause I got the juice with it?
Foreign whip, 2 Doors in the coupe with it?
Got your Bitch Like "Snubbs
Can You please show me love?"
Looked Back And I just chuck the deuce with it
What they know about starting off fresh?
Got no flow, just hoping for the best
Show me some respect 'cause I waited my turn
Let them other niggas shine when my case got adjourned
Next generation in the flesh
Ever since my first song, I been feeling like the best
I could feel it in my chest that I'm talented
Way before I came to this island shit
Call the coroner, toe tagging shit
When I was in the field, I was doing what I'm supposed to
Army fatigues, gripped up like a soldier
Or better yet a general
I had to put my pen to use
Only way I took a L was compliments
Saying I'm lyrical
[Hook: Naj]
[Verse 3: Naj]
Never had to serve raw
For women to swerve off
Mentally I'm Malcolm
Physical? Bergdoff
Cloud 9 fly, don't care what your birds cost
One call? They pull the trigger
If you on our turf lost
DOPE cost so much of my life
I'm so boss In it
Conscious mind but floss and shit
Look at the way he adopted that flow
And redefined the dope boys
Grown man flow, no orphanage
And that's a fact Homie
Standstill niggas want stand up guy respect but I reject
I'm gunning for the top quick then a private jet
Where I digress to have the livest sex
And Plant a couple seeds
Need weed? chop a couple trees
I don't gotta fuck with you
If you don't fuck with me
Big dreams
World don't wanna see a nigga breathe
No get rich schemes, fiends they 'gon fucking see
