You know how we do  Roc a Fella... forever... You can catch me 
Skatin through your town puttin' it down y'all relatin' 
No waitin I'll make your block infrared hot I'm like Satan 
Y'all feel a nigga's struggle y'all think a nigga love to 

Hustle behind the wheel  tryin' to escape my trouble 
Kids stop they greetin' me  I'm talkin' sweet to keys 
Cursin' the very God  that bought this wreath to be 
My life is  based on sacrifices, jewels like ices 

And fools that think I slip, you f*ck around 
You get your guys hit, they built me to be filthy 
On some I-do-or-die shit, for real 
The price of leather's got me, deeper than ever and 
Just think, with this here, I'm tryin' to feel made nig-ga 

Politics as us-ual... I took my 
Frito to Tito in the district, blessed me with some 
VS somethings I can live with, stop frontin' 
And for the dough I raise, gotta get shit appraised 

No disrespect to you, make sure you word is true 
I'm takin' wages down in Vegas just in case Tyson 
Have a major night off, that's clean money, the tax write-off 
You ain't seen money in your life, when it 

Comes to this cheese y'all like Three Blind Mice 
A smokin' bro, who pump Willie Ike spokes 
The furthest you Chiles been is the Pocanos 
My portfolio reads: leads to Don Corleone, nigga please 

Ten year felon, heavy on the wrist, our face used 
With the diamond blooded Jesus and blind your face 
You'se for life... straight, Jigga, I keep it tight nig-ga 

Politics as us-ual... 
You feel my triumph never, feel my pain I'm lyin 
Low in the leather Zion, the best that's ever came 
The game changes like, my mind just ain't right 

We 'gwan get this dough, I guess it ain't your night 
Suckin' me in like a vacumn, I remember 
Tellin' my family I'll be back soon, that was December 
Eighty-five and, Jay-Z rise ten years later 

Got me wise still can't break my underworld ties 
I wear black a lot, in the Ac', act a lot 
Got matchin' VCR's, a huge Magnavox 
To nitch, green like spinach pop wines that's vintage 

It's a lot of big money in my sentence 
Hittin' towards a mil', lip a, written I kill like that 
Chick faked me one-two cat, yeah, I do dat 
Ain't no stoppin' the champagne from poppin' 
The drawers from droppin', the law from watchin', I hate em
