"Nothin' from around here So don't approach or hope To be the man of the year" I said listen deer or rabbit or whatever the hell you be I'm not the one to embarrass But the one to emcee I traveled the world q uarters on my relationships Used and abused by hoes So my royalty stubs But above all I brought my daughter into this earth So I understand the need Of women feeling of worth She glanced deep in my eyes And said "oh shit, you're ill I like the way your mind Moves around at will Still, let me apologize for soundin so sassy But you niggas act as if my ass Has a sign that says harass me" Her name was gail from the union of dale I made her remove the shades So her eyes could tell me the plan Yo where's your man? "Oh that nigga's past tense, Painted bruises on my face Haven't seen him ever since" Gave a pinch to my bottom And started rubbing my back She said "i bet your ass is darker Than a mobb deep track" Only one way to know it, And i was down to show it So we jetted back to my crib to set it She made it known "I've owned thoughts of you Since that song 'meeny-meeny' Can't believe you're about To be all up in between me" Man, the flag was lowered So my wood was raised Followed a shielding of my building To protect me from the blaze This granted access to Southern parts of her borders Did you have her comin'? Like the new world order I caught her with the right combination A good combination Keepin' it in her hard, man You betta listen (Listen all you fellas, here's what good love is) (Listen all you fellas, the kind she understands) (Listen all you fellas, then you won't have to worry no no more) (Listen all you fellas, you betta listen) (you betta listen) |

The instamatic focal point bringing damage to your boroughs
Be some brothers from the east with some beats that be thorough Got the solar gravitation so I'm bound to pull it I gets down like brothers are found ducking from bullets Gun control means using both hands in my land Where it's all about the cautious livin'? Migrating to a higher form Of consequence, compliments of strugglin', that shouldn't be notable Man, every word I say should be a hip hop quotable I'm sick of bitch's shakin' asses, I'm sick of talkin' about blunts Sick of Versace glasses, sick of slang, sick of half-ass awards shows Sick of name brand clothes, sick of R&B bitches over bullshit tracks Cocaine and crack which brings sickness to blacks Sick of swoll' head rappers with their sicker than raps Clappers and gats, makin' the whole sick world collapse The facts are gettin' sick even sicker perhaps Stickabush to make a bundle to escape this synapse Man life can get all up in your ass baby you betta work it out Let me tell you what it's all about a skin not considered equal A meteor has more right than my people, who be wastin' time? Screaming who they've hated, that's why the native tongues Have officially been reinstated Vibes, vibrations, stakes is high, higher than high You know them stakes is high, higher than high When we talkin' 'bout the vibes, vibrations Stakes is high, you know them stakes is high When we dealin' with the vibes, vibrations Stakes is high, hey yo, what about that love? Yo, it's about love for cars, love for funds, loving to love mad sex Loving to love guns, love for opposite, love for fame and wealth Love for the fact of no longer loving yourself, kid, we living in them Days of the man made ways where every aspect is vivid These brothers no longer talk shit, hey yo, these niggas live it 'Bout to give it to you 24/7 on the microphone plug one translating The zone, no offense to a player, but yo, I don't play And if you take offense, fuck it, got to be that way JD Dove, show your love, what you got to say? I say G's are making figures at a high regard And niggas dying for it Nowadays ain't odd, investing in fantasies And not God, welcome to reality, see times is hard People try to snatch the credit, but can't claim the card Showing out in videos, saying they cold stars See, shit like that will make your mama cry Better watch the way you spend it, 'cause the stakes is high Y'all know them stakes is high When we talkin' 'bout the vibes, vibrations Stakes is high I think that smiling in public is against the law 'Cause love don't get you through life no more It's who you know and how you, son and how you gettin' in And who the man holding, hey yo, and how was the scams And how high? Yo what up? I heard you caught a body Seem like every man and woman shared a life with John Gotti But they ain't organized, mixing crimes with life enzymes Taking the big scout route and niggas know doubt better Than they know their daughters and their sons, oh boy Yo, people go through pain and still don't gain positive contact Just like my main man, who got others cleaning up His physical influence, his mind got congested He got the nine and blew it, neighborhoods are now hoods 'Cause nobody's neighbors, just animals surviving With that animal behavior, under I, who be rhyming From dark to light sky, experiments when needles and skin connect No wonder where we live is called the projects When them stakes is high you damn sure try to do anything to get The piece of the pie electrify, even die for the cash but at last I be out Even though you wantin' more, this issue is closed like an elevator door But soon reopened once we get to the next floor where the Vibes, vibrations, stakes is high, y'all know them stakes is high When we talkin' 'bout the vibes, vibrations Stakes is high, stakes is high, come on |
