Saturday night, Uptown✦
Riding✦ past Kansas Fried Chicken
What's popping✦ kid, we in the mix
It's chilly✦ 40 below✦
Gate's✦ closed✦ gotta✦ catch Dr. Js
Blow on my hand, rub on my nose
Tap the glass, stop fronting Duke, fresh pair of jeans
Look I got loot, eleven✦ in the beige boots
Heard a screech pull up, these Jakes✦ flashed me five pictures
One had my man's mug, Semi stepped brother hugs
You asked✦ the wrong guy son
I'm from Atlanta, yeah we know Mr. Coles✦
Flew in two days ago✦ to see his fam'
But we been watching✦ you, crazily
The whole Staten✦ Island✦ shitting on you
Wisdom Bird's pregnant out in Baisley
Holding snow in your ear, fresh baldie tried to change up
Not truck today,✦ still looking fly, still slammed up hung
You mind popping✦ your trunk, slow your pace
Starks fixed✦ your face, copped✦ out the six, five years probash'
You dealing with a lot of science, motherfucker we're watching✦ you
Make me wanna✦ lick shots at you
You disgust me, screwing me down, grab my gun
Go head bust me
Heard you hate Jake that's what it must be
Hands behind✦ your back, spread your legs
Just found a roach in your tray
It's not mine fucker, what I said
You make the 13th nigga✦
A multi-million✦ dollar✦ operation✦ is based✦ upon✦ it yo
Where the hell's the RZA
He's selling mics, wireless joints
Special made to go off in your hand and which went out on point
Switched to the next scene, I'm at the crib bugging out
On how po' live, hating✦ plus harassing the kid
Park the truck in the double face garage✦
Dial 1-900-Raekwon, tell the God shit's mega✦ real
Flashing me on BET, Planet✦ Groove, Rap City✦ News
