[Big L]
 I drive up and down Harlem blocks
 Iced down medallions  cops think I'm selling rocks
 Pulling me over too see if I'm drunk
 but I'm soberm they wouldn't fuck with me if I drove a Nova
 Listen Columbo you're mad becouse your money come slow
 And what you make in a year I make in one show
 Now you wanna frisk me and search my ride
 Call me all kinda names try to hurt my pride
 You're just mad couse I'm a young cat
 Pockets dumb fat, talkin bout where the gun at
 I been there and done that
 I'm through with that illegal life I'm stayin legit
 I love to see cars come cruisin bye and playin my shit
 I walk around with six thou without the pistol
 My whole click's wild I'm rich Pah
 No more sticks I'm makin hits now
 I drink Cristal I'm through breaking laws
 I don't sell coke anymore I do tours
 So get that flashlight out of my face
 To bring me down Jake do whatever it takes
 Word up them federals got my phone and my house tapped
 Praying that I fall for the mouse trap, I doubt that

 Chorus: Big L

 Why do I end up in so much shit
 I don't came way too far to be calling it
 Jake wanna lock me up even though I'm legit
 They can't stand to see a young brotha pockets get thick

 [Fat Joe]
 Hey yo enough is enough federals try to set me up
 Put me in cuffs and crush what I lost into dust
 Plus they want a nigga
 But they know Big Joey Crack ain't never rat a cat that he know
 I left the streets alone, and almost killed his mama
 So I'ma keep doin what I'm doin
 Pursuin my dream til there enough cream to start my own union
 And show these kids how legit it is
 Shit is real I use a steel but now I own several businesses
 So where is your witness that you claim to have sayin
 Extortin New York and not payin tax
 I lean back playin the role playin too low
 But it's the same ol Joe so don't get K.O.
 Hey yo I'm gonna fry for what I never did

 Chorus 2X

 What would you do if the vicious enemy suddenly started comin
 at you armed to the teeth and ready to kill you
