Tony✦ Starks fights again✦ for survival and by just a thin thread of electric current wins another victory
[Superb (Ghostface Killah):]
Ugh, c'mon, yeah, c'mon y'all
(Bounce with us) Hip-hop✦
(What? Celebrities,✦ what?)
(Street corner)✦ For all my niggas✦
Crack spot niggas✦
Chicken ass motherfuckers,✦ envious bitches✦
Yo, you know what y'all...
[Superb:]
Make me wanna✦ pop something, no champagne
Two-five✦ on me, weed and crack on me
Bitch motherfucker tried to get a rep' off me
Leave him there, never✦ know, get him off me
I remember✦ days when we just fucked✦ bitches✦
Bought a lot of clothes✦ and, played the ave
Now we rap niggas✦ with a lot of wardrobes
And if we want a nigga✦ dead we pay the cash
I ain't trying to waste my career✦ on y'all
Even✦ scuffle with y'all, waste gear on y'all
But if I gotta✦ go out, you know I'ma✦ show out
You gon' fuck around and get your whole back blown out
I remember✦ on the Island,✦ Cay tone out
In the Mess Hall hall, about✦ to zone out
Dumb motherfuckers✦ with our microphone✦ out
We just dumb motherfuckers✦ with our microphone✦ out
[Chip Banks:]
See.. see.. see, see me I roll with Ghost and
Cats that carry✦ they toast make the post and
Front page and, center-staging
When it's time to bust off them things, it ain't a game man
We rocked✦ out own diamond rings, see them 'bling, bling'
Got big boy toys, push sixes✦
Dime bitches,✦ told y'all before✦ we import those
Jury✦ stay froze, court cases✦ get closed✦
Niggas✦ hate Nino✦ 'cause how fast I rose up
Like George Jefferson and 'em, stepping on 'em
The headline read, "Starks had the weapon✦ on him"
And the vest, what y'all expect? He a vet
Plus the best, now tell me how we gon' fail
When we dealing with 'Supreme Clientele
[Superb:]
From Rikers✦ Island✦ to the Cayman✦ Island✦
We thugs like, life is the same challenge✦
Do the knowledge,✦ recognize✦ your talent✦
And if you live the streets, you better✦ stay silent✦
From Rikers✦ Island✦ to the Cayman✦ Island✦
We thugs like, life is the same challenge✦
Do the knowledge,✦ recognize✦ your talent✦
And if you live the streets, you better✦ stay silent✦
[Ghostface Killah:]
Yo, spotted at The Mirage,✦ Ghostface swarmed by groupies✦
Mingle among stars, I come in cat, invades Mars
Highlight of the century,✦ first bet placed✦ upon✦ entry✦
Fainted when the book mentioned me
Keep balling, new systems, high sciences
Drop that, Ghost listening, track sizzling
Angelica, Judy✦ Plum for bitches,✦ Goines✦ king of the century✦
Best sellers for niggas,✦ stay together
Posted✦ up trucks, leaning on the Benz cinemax smile
Shot in thirty-five✦ lens you program
Broke bottles✦ of Dom, seven✦ inch bangles, back breakers
I'm a dope fiend, look at my arm, Popeye strength
Rap with a British accent,✦ Gucci clothes✦
Dennis Coles✦ in the latest✦ fashions blow backs in
Flip raps like forty-eight bundles
Dinner✦ plates,✦ deadly✦ front gates,✦ celeb Bryant Gumbel
[Hell Razah:]
Analyze This shit like De Niro✦
Words in your center✦ ear hole
Blocks of ice like Sub-Zero, we been right since day zero✦
Shatter your soul like glass windows
Turn virgins to nymphos, pop these hollows
At fake cats in a Tahoe
Wild out, throw your liquor bottles✦
At hood rats to the richest models
We conversate like Christ and the Twelve Apostles
And life without you, held counsel with great men
To murderers in the state pen
Being caged✦ in the wages✦ of sin
Before✦ they read up they pop our tape in
You ain't gotta✦ tuck you chain in
'Cause here we want the head of Satan✦
Doo-rags and our pants hanging
[Ghostface Killah:]
Uh-huh,✦ uh-huh✦ that's right y'all
Street corners, jail niggas✦
Riker's✦ Island,✦ Ge-Grey✦ Haven✦
Big Un, that's right y'all
Word up, all y'all, all y'all crumbs
We made it, nigga✦ step the fuck off
True indeed,✦ true indeed✦
Yeah, Ready✦ Red, that's right, my nigga✦ Born
That's right yo, Lil' Free in the feds
That's right, you'll be home nigga✦
Yeah, we made it
Yeah, C Allah,✦ word up
That's fam
Yeah, check it out, Staten✦ Island✦
True indeed,✦ Five boroughs
Check it, uh-huh✦
