[Verse 2]
Moonstruck stuck, slow as molasses in my actions
That's compliments of a fast spliff in the night life
In my flight jacket,✦ adrenaline heightened, mimickin' Tyson✦
After✦ watchin' him cut up Razor Ruddock
In the gutter,✦ which was once ghetto✦ prophecy is now ghetto✦ scripture
Lookin'✦ back at it, blowjobs from pretty✦ crack addicts
Older✦ Gods wantin'✦ no static,✦ told some lil' niggas✦ they can have it
Coke baggin'✦ and toe-taggin'
They took Will, let me describe him, a live one
I think he was the true +God's Son+ - not Jesus, but fearless
His ear was up on them sounds too, he'd hear somethin
Not to his likin',✦ and say, "Son they bitin'✦ you"
He never✦ got to see my debut,✦ wild-mannered
But wild with them hammers, niggas✦ frontin' couldn't stand it
Took him off the planet,✦ left us in 9-2
With the philosophy of what arms do, a true street's disciple✦

Disciple✦ of the projects!✦

[Verse 3]
Plug the mics up, I'm ready✦ to rock, knocking
Reminiscing of measuring pots of Pyrex, cook in the kitchen
Captain Hook to these infants
It's like my folks is still on the benches
Surrounded by villains and henchmen, was a killer✦ convention
1991, son, gold fronts on the facial,✦ gun buck by the naval✦
Disciple✦ could blaze you, we laced✦ it with embalming fluid
Rhyming to music✦ all this time
Fighting 'bout how Kane and Rakim✦ would do it
Seemed✦ impossible to us that we could ever✦ leave
From the block, where the world was forever freezing
Hell if I ever✦ let them shovel me, son, in this cell again✦
Fuck these devil✦ policemen, plush leathers, I need them
Risking my freedom, burners in bubble coats
Fuck a sermon✦ from the neighborhood pope
He's sexing ho's, old fart, he's busting ones✦ when he stroke
Multi-colored Pelle Pelle's,✦ young stretch mark bellies
Babies✦ born in a cycle, future✦ disciples
