[Prodigy] (The Game)
We out in this...P and Game, we'll blow that bitch up
From the world's most infamous, 1st Infantry
(Alchemist, this shit raw like fresh beef playa
We boyz in da hood...wanna see a dead body)

[Verse 1 - The Game]
Sittin in a lowrider, murda on my mind
Cuz I had too many dead homies in my lifetime
Thats why I ride wit a nine and dem hollow tips
Lift niggaz like a chrome hydraulic switch
Wit a hood rat in the car that swallow dicks
So good that I got P on that 6-4 Impala shit
She from Compton just like me
Caramel wit extensions just like Eve
She wanna go to a Knicks game, sit next to Spike Lee
Well do the right thing, blow a nigga out his Nikes
She married to The Game, thats wifey
Ask Gotti get them blood stains out your white tee
P in the backseat finger fuckin her girlfriend
That'll put a golf ball hole in your right cheek
Start trippin over colors like Ice-T
And you can watch your life slip away through an I.V

[Verse 2 - Prodigy]
We out in Cali, P and Game straight blow that bitch up
We out in New York, P and Game we blow that bitch up
You can't stop us, we gettin this money its not bangin
You can't pull that shit this way, we head bangin
Wit dem glocks and dem oo-ops
Me and my fools shoot, wutchu tryin do that
I suggest you do not
My chain is hot, whats more hot than that
Thats how I murda music, thats why your broads on my back
Got two birds on my shoulders, they all over me
And ready to fuck Game and whoever else roll wit me
My presence is strong, I have a bitch seein dollar
signs spots stare at me too long
Have you seein that white light you come at me wrong
Or any one of my dawgs, I'll be settin it off
You was raised on beef and live real drama
Don't let the coupes twist you, we lettin o's off

[Prodigy] (The Game)
We out in this...P and Game, we'll blow that bitch up
(P and Game rollin the Dutch)
P and Game, we'll blow that bitch up, mixed with the A L C
NYC to LA we do our sweep

[Verse 3 - The Game]
We out in Compton, P and Game lacin Chucks
We out in QB, P and Game rollin a Dutch
Dumpin ashes out the windshield
Haze got my head spinnin like dem 24 inch wheels
Ridin to Suga Hill bangin shook ones
On the westside highway, hand on the steel
If I like your chain then blood spill
Cuz I ain't getta million dollars when I signed my deal

[Verse 4 - Prodigy]
Nigga I'll tie your wife to a chair and blow that bitch up
You better fire proof your crib, I'll blow that shit up
I'm all about this crime shit for real, this rap shit is luck
Try to score points on me, I'll fasten you up
In that smelly proof bag, real real fast
Shoot the duce under my arm, I'm real real slick
Can't put a tail on me, I drive too fast
Can't put tag on me, I smoke people ass

[Verse 5 - The Game]
If you from the westside, nigga throw that shit up
If you bang to eastside, nigga throw that shit up
I ain't tryna be in The Source or Double X L
I'm just tryna fuck Trina cuz Dre said sex sells
And it was either this or jail
Imagine tryna fit birds in a Honda Accel
And they caught up on the Fed Ex mail
So we stopped doin business and chirpin on Nextels
We gangstas

[Verse 6 - Prodigy]
I fold people in half, I tore people ass
But they still wanna ride out as long as we see death
I get money, and I don't need your help or friendship
But love, I'ma survive just how I been
I'ma stay alive till the day I die
But right now I'm healty, niggaz betta get up off my
A bitch is nuttin we easily fuck it
And we posessed by the cash and these guns we bustin

[Ad-Libs till end]

For the cause when my life is threatened

[Intro: Lloyd Banks]
Yeah! I'm here nigga, Banks!!! G-G-G-G-G-G Unit!!!

[Chorus: Lloyd Banks]
Now don't try to stand next to me (Right)
Cause I'm the nigga they came here to see (Right)
Ain't nothin round here for free (Right)
And I'm here to let these motherfuckers know
That I'll do anything for the dough (Right)
A felony walkin out the front do' (Right)
Ain't a motherfucker I gotta change fo' (Right)
Therefore I'm a be this way until I go

[Verse 1]: Lloyd Banks
Yeah! Guess who walk around with diamond chains and rings on 'em
A pair of throwback Jordan's, with the wings on 'em
With all this talking I'm guessin they got them things on 'em
Cause if not Milli's the Forty Cal's a ring on 'em
I know your kind gettin by leave the city quick
Niggaz bleed just like us I'm on that Biggie shit
First of all I'm sup-posed to ball
I'm sup-posed to have coast to, coast to calls
And your niggaz on your cd's garbage
Yeah they shootin but they missin, sprayin up the wall like graffiti artist
Some niggaz by the bootleg but go and cop the real shit
Cause the fans love us I'm nicer than grandmothers
I wake up get dressed put on my tan butters
It been this way since Puma's and Super Man cover's
A ice pick could do your liver harm
And have you screamin in the back of the club louder than Lil' Jon

[Chorus: Lloyd Banks]
Now don't try to stand next to me (Right)
Cause I'm the nigga they came here to see (Right)
Ain't nothin round here for free (Right)
And I'm here to let these motherfuckers know
That I'll do anything for the dough (Right)
A felony walkin out the front do' (Right)
Ain't a motherfucker I gotta change fo' (Right)
Therefore I'm a be this way until I go

[Verse 2: Lloyd Banks]
You now lookin at the hood meal ticket seven thou on my wrist
It's kinda hard to keep the balance with this
It keeps the challengers pissed
I vacate to different islands and twist
And back home where the violence exist, now silencers fixed
You buy mileage as gifts as well as man's best friend
And I don't own no rottweillers and pits
It's getting extremely hard for the man to roam
With little kids putting this picture on the camera phone
Shit change now that the cameras on
A bitch will jeopardize the marriage to fuck you when they man is gone
These niggaz ramblin on about the paper that they getting stop it
I got more money than you in my little pocket
Yeah I'm stingy so it's stretch long
With G-Unit sweats on thread needle to Teflon
Des'Eagle and vest on, cause everybody ain't enthused
That's your name's around about good news, FUCK YOU!!!

[Chorus: Lloyd Banks]
Now don't try to stand next to me (Right)
Cause I'm the nigga they came here to see (Right)
Ain't nothin round here for free (Right)
And I'm here to let these motherfuckers know
That I'll do anything for the dough (Right)
A felony walkin out the front do' (Right)
Ain't a motherfucker I gotta change fo' (Right)
Therefore I'm a be this way until I go

[Outro: Lloyd Banks]
Yeah! Yeah!

Where can we go

[Devin the Dude - talking]
Don't even tease me like that girl
I wanna holla at you to, but man you know you gotta man
It' s too close to home, it's too close for comfort girl
Anyway man, I wouldn't even...yo check it out

[Chorus]
Where can we go, and nobody would know
What can we do, without them seein' me & you
What will we say when we finish fuckin' at the end of the day
Where can we go...we can't go nowhere

[talking]
we can't go nowhere we can't even think about it
we might as well just chill talk on the phone
cause there ain't no use goin' out in public
unless you sayin' fuck it and let everyone know

Yo we gotta keep it safe
Cause if he knew we were together he'll be all off in your face
Wonderin' what happened with us, drillin' you with questions
You can save yourself from hurt feelings and the fussin'
Now you know I'm involved too
So I thought you would agree with what I'm sayin'
We can't go around playin' with these peoples hearts
We can't be sneakin' off in these streets creepin'
Without at least one your friends peekin'
It's felony, yellin' and tellin' your man
And me and him is cool so he wouldn't understand
yo, I got respect for my dawg
But I keep having visions of him naked and all
I shoudna told you that but it's a fact
I put this thang up in your back
Girl, you woudn't know how to act..
But we, both know that it's wrong
So we might as well just leave it alone

[Chorus]

Where can we go

We can't go nowhere, we can't do nothing {*2X*}

Now I can only imagine havin' ya legs and that ass
And you screamin' out...ya but see that wouldn't be fair
And is it really worth it, you woundn't feel guilty at all
And know I will when my gal wash my filthy draws
Maybe we should all go out together, give 'em room to slip
And when they stare at each other we'll have a reason to trip
But, nah, that plan ain't cool
Cause if they hook up with each other we'll look like fools
Check it out, let's just have phone sex
I get your thong wet, you can get my bone erect
But that's cheatin ourselves, and see I wanna be pleased
I wanna slide in and slide out with ease
You tell me that your lonely, and I can come save ya
I thought about it, shit but you got some nosy neibours
We can take a chance but we just might lose
But where can we go what can we do

[Chorus]

We can't go nowhere, we can't do nothing {*2X*}

(So much has changed..)

(so much has changed..)

Verse 1

When I was younger
I thought my life would be easy
Always had my parents to guide me
from the cold world,
they could not make me see

I had no worries
Anything I wanted was there for me
My friends wishing they could be like me
With the diamond rings and the baby Gucci

Chorus
I'm thinking of the good old days
when all of my life was funny games
And all i had to do was think of me,
no stress, no responsebilities

I won't cry any longer
All of my pain make me stronger
I'll do the best to maintain that happiness that i remember

x2
why d'you leave me,
tell me why you left me
innocence has a child so easy
why d'you leave,
tell me why you left me
daddy why d'you leave me?
daddy why d'you leave me?

Verse 2

Life as a teenager
Started moving oh, so rapidly
Took my mom and my pops away from me
God was rolling, and i could not see
Why

They had to leave me
Who would have thought that this could be
My life was turning unbeliveably
This could not be happening to me

Chorus
I'm thinking of the good old days
when all of my life was funny games
And all i had to do was think of me,
no stress, no responsebilities

I won't cry any longer
All of my pain make me stronger
I'll do the best to maintain that happiness that i remember

Verse 3

Now I'm a young lady
And didn't want nobody to think for me
Went against my family
And was a baby, having my own baby

How real is that, can ya feel me?
Didn't need no help from nobody,
not even no help from yo daddy
I, myself, and my own Lady

x2
why d'you leave me,
tell me why you left me
innocence has a child so easy
why d'you leave,
tell me why you left me
daddy why d'you leave me?
daddy why d'you leave me?

I know ways, they can't remain
No matter how fucking hard it may be
I'm gonna walk with my head up to the sky
This life is like an alternate eye

[Nas]
Uhh yea yeah yo
It goes Tick Tock this is for my niggaz in the Bridge, block
Comin' through better hide your wristwatch
Because niggaz well live they shits pop
hey hey
Tick Tock this is for my hoes make your hips rock
Light a L baby let the Crys' pop
Get your Tick Tock from this hip hop, anyday

[Nas]
5-8 with double-X-L pen saggin blunts draggin
But never lived well, imagine, a felon on a two-way street
One way is where blood money coke and homicide leap
The other street opportunity the chance to live sweet
Think positive k-nowledgement k-cypher complete
So you can be an architect design appartments and shit
Or you can wind up on a jail bus dirty in clip
Soon as I'm on the set I'm never on a chick I play it cool
But still ain't pussy muscles get wet it's just the booze
Check my niggaz, what's the gossip, what's the word
Puff some herb, all I see is niggaz runnin', chin shots
All I heard, dip behind the car, see somebody on the ground
Ambulance came and got 'em they start calmin' down
Now it's back to the same old shit, you know, the Tarzan and Jane-o shit
In the jungle swingin' on vines, I saw the gat with the same old clip
Another nigga layin' the hit, bloodied up, scream that I'm dyin
I be in Queens where the famous hood rats and ghetto stars are
Pimps do the shuffle at night with slutty bars pah

Uhh yea yeah yo
It goes Tick Tock this is for my niggaz in the Bridge, block
Comin' through better hide your wristwatch
Because niggaz well live they shits pop
hey hey
Tick Tock this is for my hoes make your hips rock
Light a L baby let the Crys' pop
Get your Tick Tock from this hip hop, anyday

Prodigy]
It's like this nigga
It's on, toilet up for me, roll that shit big
While I reveal the story of a wild street kid
Cock your seat back, relax, while I spit
The spittin' image of how I live
Well first I was hollyin' for years by them old timer clicks
I was like twelve, they was like, blood, listen
Keep your mouth closed and your eyes and your ears wide open
Gangsta, I soaked it all in, my first ammo was a one shot
Deuce deuce, had my pockets full of bullets I was real loose
Thug parties out in wave crash always got shot up
Thug parties out in Queensbridge always got shot up
No wonder we bugged out it gets so frantic
Niggaz aim on the fight, we cut yo melon
Drinkin' that old english red bull and blue bull
Mean I draggin' with that cheap shit fuck it we was broke
Little badass, my nigga Rap sat me down, like this
He said: P you gon' wind up dead
You and Hav' real good with that music shit
You need to stick to it, dunn, get your mind of the street
And it stuck in the back of my head, though
I still did my little bit of menacin'
Ain't nothing in bringin' out some broad daylight
Like these things really happen niggaz get cut up
I put it in my rappin'
It's non fiction it's the real deal fiscale
It couldn't get more graphic I'm so trail
I said it's non fiction it's the real deal fiscale
City you havin' let me touch that ass

HOOK

Verse 1 (T.I.)
Below da Mason-Dixon Line, hey, im da best u gon find...
Bottom line, i aint humble, cuz nigga its bout time...

Nigga plannin on robbin me blind, start tryin
Got sumtin to but a end to 380's and glock nines

[Twin]
Yeah Yo
I grew up in the projects of QBC

[Alchemist]
I grew up in the lap of luxury where chickens love for me
I used to watch sesame street

[Twin]
I used to watch the D's play in the street
plus I couldn't wait to squeeze my first heat

[Alchemist]
I used to pray to God before I went to sleep every night

[Twin]
same time I was kissing the dice hitting my number twice
you holding hammers with the heat out with nice

[Alchemist]
same time I was popping cap guns on BMX bikes
with grass stains on my jeans and scuffed up knights

[Twin]
I was like fuck school, I ain't going to class
easy money in the street, I was rolling with that
never good at math but I knew how to add up cash

[Alchemist]
I used to win at spelling bees
my education was proper my family wanted me to be a lawyer a doctor
I was smooth talker (back in those days) I was a moon walker
with a picture of my shorty inside of my school locker

[Chorus]

[Twin and Alchemist]

[T] I never had shit
[A] I always had it all
[T] We used to play with guns
[A] We used to play ball
[T] I used to pump crack
[A] In school I paid attention
[T] I was a hard head
[A] I used to always listen
[T] We turned bitches out
[A] I used to love hoes
[T] We wore hammy downs
[A] I always had new clothes
[T] I used to stay bent
[A] I couldn't hold my liquor
[T] Its kind of bugged out
[A] Two different stories in one picture

[Alchemist]
Yo
The first year of high school my parents noticed me slipping
Smoking cigarettes skipping class catching detention

[Twin]
Every night all I heard was freeze
Niggaz getting bagged by the D's
and some bitch that got a disease

[Alchemist]
Fourteen and watching on teeny raps and forties and screams
I learned how to tilt my hat sag my jeans
wanted a (unknown) piece thought that would be fresh

[Twin]
Me and my brother used to yank those shits straight off people's necks
Summer time river park mans at 1 2 fifth
Sticking kids with my identical twin
If I could go back in time I would take you with me
Show you what its like to live a lifestyle to risky

[Alchemist]
I put in work in rhymes and beats while you was putting work in the streets
It's bugged out who ever would have thought that we'd meet
What is this rap shit that made this package complete
They put us into the studio and put these raps to this beat

[Chorus]

[Alchemist]
I'm west coast imma rep it forever
but I had to move to the east to get all of my respect and my cheddar
To tell the truth the only thing I really left was the weather
All of my friends the same we always kept it together

[Twin]
Picture this shook one drop the Mobb on top
Now rolling state to state with shows nonstop
Seen the money Hav and P was getting off in the top
off of hip hop I wasn't going back to the black

[Alchemist]
My man Muggs introduced me to U Nitty and G.O.D
brought me to the studio to play music to Hav and P

[Twin]
You can't forget my dunns Noyd and Gotti

[Alchemist]
I was a nobody
They showed me love told me they got me

[Twin]
Remember the first time I the bong I was doing it wrong
Took us some months till my High was gone
They we showed you how to roll up dutchies then it was on

[Alchemist]
Now we rolling all across the county with hit songs

[Chorus]
