[Chorus: Angie Martinez]
Comin✦ live from the streets where some died tryin to eat
From Y.O. to Philly,✦ from Harlem✦ to Q.B
And when it drops, game over,✦ you'll see
Introducin'✦ Beanie Sigel,✦ tell me how you livin?✦
[Verse 2: Beanie Sigel]
Ayo, I've been kickin'✦ murder✦ - since Adidas✦ with thick strings
T.I. sweatsuits, Pumas✦ with thick chains
Four finger✦ rings, black belts with brass names✦
I was spittin flames✦ since niggas✦ was pitchin change
I'm a hard knock kiddo,✦ always✦ played the middle
Threw flacks in the crack game, getchu✦ if I can getchu✦
Since a buck, played the highway, dodgin✦ the troop boys
Jumpin✦ in and out of Coupes,✦ wavin✦ for Duke boys
Always✦ chased✦ a penny,✦ copped✦ quarter waters
Tried to make a dollar✦ chased✦ my pop's boss daughters
Tryin to make my name, global,✦ in all four corners
Philly✦ baller,✦ gamin✦ in all four quarters
Never✦ worked,✦ never✦ will - all my hoes buy my clothes
I can't go broke, never✦ will - all my bros buy my O's
I'm the best thing that linked✦ up with New York since Sprewell
I murder,✦ nothin'✦ further - fill in the details
[Verse 3: Brett]
I'm here, it's over,✦ fuck how y'all feel
When I drop, y'all gon' realize it's all real
Bein left for dead, tied up, smoke 'til I was dried up
So high up, seem like the sky ducked,✦ high what?
Life was rough, but now it's nothin✦ to hide
Used✦ to click and be quick to put this gun to yo' side
Be like, "That chain nice - I like that pal
Matter✦ fact {*click click*} I'd like that now."
You've got game? Call the name, just spell the name right
Brett, one of the best rappers ever✦ to touch a mic
It's prophecized I'd write, spit scriptures mind blowin✦
'til my coffin✦ top close and heaven✦ skies open✦
Fear no man's my slogan,✦ I hope y'all believe
I'm just like you, fear nuttin'✦ human✦ that bleeds
My mind breed two movies,✦ six ab-lums, a hundred poems
Thirty✦ R&B joints, I'm beyond the norm, y'all just mad
I'm just glad, got my time to shine
Y'all the type to hit 300 bars and run out of rhymes✦
[Chorus: Angie Martinez]
Brett, from my ByStorm family,✦ with Angie
Come live from the streets, from Harlem✦ to Q.B
And when it drops, game over,✦ you'll see
Introducin,✦ finally, the legendary Kool G
[Verse 4: Kool G. Rap]
It's B.G.S. kid so what you facin'?✦ Caps racin✦
Decapitation✦ twenty✦ buck-fifties and lacerations✦
Guerilla✦ fam' camouflaged out in the grass waitin'✦
To blass your nation✦ slash like Jason✦ and bash your face in
We ass lacin'✦ top bodies✦ and half in the basement✦
Our style, cast you so bad you'll need plastic replacement✦
When gats is raised✦ in, fascination✦ blastin: and blazin'✦
Evacuation✦ for your whole staff there's✦ gas in the tank and
Gets back abrasions✦ from cap grazin,✦ defy✦ gravitation✦
Pull my shit back squeeze bust it like masturbation✦
Hold fort, hold the blow torch, leave your soul scorched
With no remorse, the state of New York, get your shit caught
When niggas✦ hawk, let the fifth talk
So tell me who's the next man to flip?
I stop the beef shit, with rubber✦ handled grips
Your candle get lit, guerilla✦ shit feed us banana clips
The hammers hit, anything in our range we dismantle it
[Outro: Angie Martinez]
Like to say thanks to my street correspondents, for gettin'✦ on this
Comin'✦ live and direct with no nonsense
Sorry✦ folks for hurtin'✦ y'all, the previous has been brought to you by "Up Close and Personal"
