[Intro (Overlapped with Hook): Don Scavone]
Now where you at in this whole crooked rap thing?

[Hook (Overlapped with Intro): Samples with Scratches by Mista Sinista]
“Alright, I’ll dance, son. Alright?” - Sample from [?]

[Verse 1: Don Scavone]
Ayyo, the pressure
Is on and I handle like some hydraulic fluid
Contracted to do it to it. In ruins, I’ll leave you stewing in
A cooker. Love it or leave it alone, hook and you
Shook as an onlooker. A beef from the Don butcher
Shot pop a 9 spot. This hip hop what I drop
Some weed spots what I top. I strong-arm the Shylocks
And I rocks. Thinking they’re bad as a big willy
Their status is [?]. I cut ‘em like blunt phillies
I gyrate the tri-state, incite the irate
To increase their mind-state and peep out of crime rates
Designed to define weight, keep us behind gates
Walking the line straight, stuck on a blind fate

[Hook: Samples with Scratches by Mista Sinista]
"Oh yeah" - Sample from Erykah Badu - "Otherside of the Game"

[Verse 2: Don Scavone]
I’ll freeze up
Your perception. Marinating on ingestions
And words I’m manifesting, contemplated questions
In sections, breaking down a lesson every session
Utilized, my resource naturally refreshing
For sparking, whether in Queens, The Bronx, Manhat
[?] creates my team
Embarking on a journey. Marketing attorneys
For distribution and earnings, politicking and serving
Swerving, ducking the snakes, the fakes, the jakes
And heading for the land of lakes with mics and crates
It’s mine to take. The Hostess, drapes, and Tastykakes
What a fine taste. Banking off my rhyme papes

[Hook (Overlapped with Interlude 1): Samples with Scratches by Mista Sinista]
"I understand the game" - Sample from Erykah Badu - "Otherside of the Game"
"I doubt that you’re ready" - Sample from Jeru the Damaja on The D&D All-Stars - "1, 2 Pass It"

[Interlude 1 (Overlapped with Hook): Don Scavone]
So where you at in this whole crooked rap thing? You suckers. Y’all don’t even the half of what’s happening

[Verse 3: Don Scavone]
To all you
Marked busters, nickel-and-dime hustlers
9-to-5 nukkas who pitched the rhyme numbers
Chart-darters. Want to be an Indy 5 starter?
Need to learn to drive harder—yo, you just a go-carter
Partner, enter the world of stars and felons
And martyrs—all in a race to place markers
This New Yorker walk the walk, stalker
Peep the street. Barkers fake and move talkers
You scramble to handle your rights in a gamble
And so is your name of your soul in your samples
Declared through the paid narcs, lawyers, and trademarks
Son, and you’s a small fish swimming with the great sharks

[Hook: Samples with Scratches by Mista Sinista]
"Oh yeah" - Sample from Erykah Badu - "Otherside of the Game"

[Verse 4: Don Scavone]
I’ll wash you like
A soap bar, knock you out like Hector Roca
[?], ogle in a chocha
Independent bumping me, major label humping me
Fuck your corporation. Yo, I’ll Flow like a Company
Comfortably keeping my backs in stacks on tables
In front of me. Rocking the tracks that’s fat, keep radio
Pumping me, handle my biz and make plans
To build, compare notes while pushing J. Grand
I’ll flips eight grams back on the pavement
I’ll keep brand stands in rap enragement
The secret agent, the preacher stay bent
With congregation. Yo, can I get an amen?

[Hook (Overlapped with Outro): Samples with Scratches by Mista Sinista]
"God’s gonna see us through, yeah" - Sample from Erykah Badu - "Otherside of the Game"
"I understand the game" - Sample from Erykah Badu - "Otherside of the Game"
"I doubt that you’re ready" - Sample from Jeru the Damaja on The D&D All-Stars - "1, 2 Pass It"

[Outro (Overlapped with Hook): Don Scavone]
No doubt. So where you at in this whole crooked rap thing? You suckers. Y’all don’t even the half of what’s happening
