[Verse 1: E-Dot]
I want to live, I want to tour, I’ll put it down, don’t want to die
I’ll give you some if you wanted more. Faking haters wonder, “Why?”
Say I’m the one [?]
I’m sure of it like three-point-one-four-one-five-nine-two equals pi
I play legit, but the people that’s around us hear I lie
You better quit. Hurry, hurry, quick, you better hide
This is it. Alright, alright, put up a light, y’all. Who got
A spliff? Tonight’s the night—ain’t nothing but goons up in
My clique. We’re bred to fight, deserving our hype, so eat
A dick. Been read my rights, but I ain’t been convicted
Of shit, never did slang. Music is as dope as
It get. Big Bang of illusion rocked y’all folks straight
To this. Sin City, north Las Vegas
Hit the strip. Bed Stuy courts, bodegas
Hydro clips, red eyes. Whatever it takes
Let’s make these hits. Never said lies, work that neck
And do like this
[Hook: Loer Velocity and Samples with Scratches by DJ Eclipse]
[Loer Velocity]
The way I think, the way I talk, the way I live
[Samples with Scratches by DJ Eclipse]
“Getting something to feel” - Sample from [?] - “[?]”
[Loer Velocity]
For the righteous and the savage doing bids
[Samples with Scratches by DJ Eclipse]
“Getting something to feel” - Sample from [?] - “[?]”
[Loer Velocity]
The way I write, the way I look for what I smoke
[Samples with Scratches by DJ Eclipse]
“Getting something to feel” - Sample from [?] - “[?]”
[Loer Velocity]
For the ballers, for the soldiers, for the locs
[Samples with Scratches by DJ Eclipse]
“Ease off, selector” - Sample from Starang Wondah on The Fab 5 - “Leflah"
“Bring it down again” - Sample from Starang Wondah on [?] - “[?]"
[Verse 2: E-Dot]
I’ll smoke L’s with Uncle Howie, I’ll spitbox with Q
Bill, he is [?] shots at you
For real, ain’t no telling what Sabac will do
The deal: Steven King or Cyn will Roc with you
And feel the lineup—we got a lot of crew
Run that, give me them links ‘til your dad has two
You’re capped. Supreme hater with an attitude
It ain’t your rap. “You’re just a faggot”’s why I’m mad at you
I’ll act retarded—yes, I still take drugs. And, yes, I’ll beat
My bitch too, but my bitch knows it’s love. I’ll keep
Her bare-foot, far from pregnant, in the kitchen
Opinions don’t matter—I do not listen
I don’t use rubbers and my lifestyle’s bitching
Live the life of a heathen, I was born a Christian
On Dancer, on Prancer, on Donner, on Vixen
Bitch, give up the stash or you gon’ come up missing
Listen

[Verse 3: E-Dot]
That’s how
It is, how it go, how it will be. Most just
Jock, but some of them fuckers wanna kill me. Took their
Spot. See their jealousy—“not really do they sign
E-Dot.” Wouldn’t admit that they fear me when my offers
Drop. [?], a nigga starts getting way more
Props and getting dap from everybody—dude, this shit don’t
Stop. Eclipse put me in the mix [?]
[?] traveled the world, stood in the very spot they popped
2Pac and rocked my world. Stood in disbelieve he shot
Two cops. The name is Errol—ain’t no mystery—just ask
My block. Harass my girl. My history’s the place
I cop. Blasting Errol [?]—now that’s
What’s up. Yo, I’ll go for mine—in the cut
It’s dope. Chop it up fine, hit that line. If you’re stuck
You’re smoke. Make you rewind. Every time the Brooklyn pop
You’re toast. It’s my time to shine, yo. Oh
Oh oh!
