If you’re not with the code you can lost
Small set of rules, but they do the most
Boys from the area you can’t get close
And I paid all my dues yeah they know the cost (they know the cost)
If you’re not with the code you can lost
[Bridge: Anfa Rose]
I’m on my own time, don’t need your cosign
No time for your time, with the boys then it’s show time (yeah)
Pick apart the competition miss me with the diss and I stay on a mission
I say pick apart the competition miss me with the diss and I stay on a mission

Hey uh, Ninety-six man you know the rules
(?) bout to go to war, out here they call it school
Man I hate the country boy
Used to fuck around with me till I left the country
Now they all salute the boy
Grew big balls in an instant
Mike Tyson in my teens but we distant
I was knocking biggies out when the chose to run their mouth
You could meet the lord like it was a prisoning
Say a pray for the boys that are here
When the rise happened brother I was there
Redfern, Cronulla to Macfields
If you got the text message then you know the deal
Racial tension in the city it was getting high
Wasn’t from the area but we were always down to ride
Two-one-seven-oh, all the boys know the go
Cos we live by the code

Doing the most in my Lancer, killing competition off like it’s cancer
Call me Allen Iverson, I’m the answer
Orange Bay and they bombard me like Fanta
I got all the moves, I’m just like a dancer
Give me top cos I could never romancer
All I wanna see is just a dollar sign
Why I chose a path rapping on the bass lines
Talk about base, i’m the man on the ground
You had a problem, call your man I’m around
You know the Niger boys be holding it down
It's been like that since I moved out to your town
I need the bank building up, counting digits
Just getting started, we're nowhere near finished
Percy like Miller, we build with no limits, cos'
