Known for coming of age, controllin' the creep (Uh)
Puttin' work on these streets, bustin' my heat
Dodgin' the Ds, you know it's a margin between me
And only a few fit in
Your lifestyle's written
So who you 'posed to be, play your position (Ha ha)
I used to write to the wall, about the Porsche
Now I write for the house and the raw report (Yea)
I used to think, Bleek and the baddest bitch
Now the, baddest bitch is a average bitch (Word up)
All I need her is for head and to stash my lead
Push my V, take this key to Hempstead (Uh)
And you run through backwoods, I twist backwoods (Yea)
And greenery, chase you with heavy machinery (Come on)
You know exactly who these streets (Come on) belong to

Your advance is what, I spent that when I was broke (Uh)

Min the middle of this game, at the top I'm found
I'm one of these cats, reppin' my hood and go back (Uh)
Be on the same old bench, with the same old crack (Keep it goin')
I'm from Marcy, you see them cars we buy
Seats up, smoke blunts, with my concubine (Uh)
Twin, P-89 for you two fake faggots
Tucked under the lining of the (Uh) Roc-A-Wear fabric
Fuck y'all, you know the squad be 'bout
Anything that involve dollar signs and accounts
It's the M dot E.M.P.H man stop
I bought C a watch, next day I bought a house, get cha mind right, nigga
[Chorus: Memphis Bleek & Ja Rule]
I Got my mind right, money right, ready for war
