I got it madehey last word from the hustler

Heyyoung 'cleftake care of your mother

Looked at him and replied"yodaddy where you goin? "

He said"to baltimore" he'll be back in the mornin

Gave my mom a hug for her soul when she cry

Every man want heavenno man want die

Vanished through the doorall I saw was his shadow

Heard mom echo"i don't wanna be a widow"

That's when I realizeddeath was ahead

Old man pulled offin a black caravan

With some dark skinned brothers who looked sicilian

Singing karma karma karma karma karma cha-me-leon

[canibus]

Me and 'clefwe ready to get it onthe three and a half pound

Organ imbedded in our skulls is what makes us better than y'all

I'm telling you godain't nobody reppin this hard since genghis khan

We raise hell til the heavens fall

Me and my fugee affiliates buildinwit plans to make millions

Over a quiet game of billiards

Black siciliansthe descendants of west indian pilgrims

With the power to collapse buildings

Riding across the ocean floor like poseidon on a seahorse

To reach our overseas tours

By the middle of marchwhen the pregnancy starts

In my lady's placentaI'll be gone 'till november (come on)

You ain't invincible all we gotta do is get pissed at you

Point you out to some people that'll physically injure you
