[Verse 2: Styles P]
I smoke weed cuz the future✦ is grim
I'm knockin this ash off the dutch on the roof of your Benz
My lil man been runnin✦ since the shootin✦ begin✦
Y'all niggas✦ talk about✦ cases✦ of Crist'
I talk about✦ cases✦ where niggas✦ get life of the shit
And your girl visit✦ two years, mom come forever✦
But near one of your mans ain't right wit his shit
But like who am i to flip? Smokin✦ weed influenced by the flicks and the old timers with the toolie by their hip
So come and creep wit me
And I ain't lyin when I tell these motherfuckers
That I got the streets in me
One felony,✦ wit two cases✦ beat
So be about✦ your business when you come and beef wit me
I got coke for sale and I got dope for sale
If you wanna✦ cop some work you oughta✦ come and speak wit me
[Chorus: Styles P & Jadakiss]
Paniro✦ the most, you hearin✦ the Ghost
Holiday✦ shit, it's robbery✦ shit
Nigga✦ talkin✦ funny✦ then body✦ the kid, let's go
Mafia✦ boss, rockin✦ the corpse
Pullin✦ the three, cockin✦ the four
We're closin✦ the windows✦ and lockin✦ the doors
You could die today✦
Or you could die tomorrow,✦ baby✦ boy the option✦ is yours, c'mon
[Verse 3: Styles P]
Y'all niggas✦ know my name, but you don't know my style
What make it all ironic is the shit is the same
Keep a milli in the coat, puffin✦ on the chronic
In the hood wit my niggas✦ that's distributin 'caine
If your man get bodied,✦ number one rule is you body✦ somethin back
Then live with the pain
Young guns of this shit, so when I get hit
I'mma✦ yell Sheek and 'Kiss let's finish the game
I got discipline and dedication✦
I'm the boss of the S N F, that's the Shootin✦ Niggas✦ Federation✦
Light a blunt and get cloudy✦ wit me
Go get your gun and get rowdy✦ wit me
It's a Holiday✦ dog, mouth big, you could swallow the four
Don't you ask me what I'm robbing you for, what
Cuz you was talkin'✦ big money✦
And I'm a little broke and I'm a firm believer✦ in equality dog, what
[Chorus: Styles P & Jadakiss]
Paniro✦ the most, you hearin✦ the Ghost
Holiday✦ shit, it's robbery✦ shit
Nigga✦ talkin✦ funny✦ then body✦ the kid, let's go
Mafia✦ boss, rockin✦ the corpse
Pullin✦ the three, cockin✦ the four
We're closin✦ the windows✦ and lockin✦ the doors
You could die today✦
Or you could die tomorrow,✦ baby✦ boy the option✦ is yours, c'mon
