"Half-A-Mil" (Interlude)
 AZ:
 Ha, ha, ha, new drink, Balley's and Henny
 you ain't got no Henny, get the Remy
 you ain't got the Remy, any cognac'll do. . .
 Smooth criminal shit baby. . .

 Half-A-Mil:
 Kaiser Sosa intention
 Glide in a Hummer wit the flyin' saucer engine
 Willied out, at my crib in the winter having cookouts
 Smack by witch, look out
 I'm like Barnabas, crab niggas tryin' to conquer us
 They mad cuz we jump outta cabs, and hop on the bus
 Copin' dust, Firm Clique rock the whole Metropolis
 Bitches who burn dick won't put a stop to us
 Niggas who. . . . . .

 "Love Is Love"

 AZ:
 See...this is what I mean...when we come together like this
 incredible things take place...
 see we connect thoughts to collect shorts,
 and only the strong survive...
 I love my black people...we are the future...

 {Nina Simone sample:
 "Black is the color of my true love's hair,
 his face so soft & wondrous cared"}

 AZ {Verse One}
 Chop the pie up, four ways, get lyed up
 Infiltrate, never violate get tied up
 It's all a chess game, choose sides, the best remains
 True lies, vibes die when bums infest the game
 Bogus shit shots, you woke but let your man get locked
 I love this hip-hop, stock the bank let the Crist pop
 Peep the next shit, push a big Benz, fuck a Lexus
 The streets was hectic, so I stacked and made my exit
 More doe to get, focus my thoughts for me to go legit
 Ferosious shit, cop a huge castle, on the ocean cliff
 Imagine that, a few years back, I was baggin' cracks
 Magnum gats, playin' street corners, commitin' savage acts
 Twistin' up, nuttin' but love, for niggas sittin' up
 Hold your own, try comin' home wit out gettin' touched
 Two for one, laws made foul how they do the young
 Whose new to come, tried to tell shorty he shoulda threw the gun

 {Nina Simone sample: "Black is the color of my true love's hair,
 of my true love's hair."}

 Half-A-Mil {Verse Two}
 Knowledge the green Wallies, all I see
 Mama hold math like caller I.D.
 Chose the path that chose me
 I'ma tell you like G-o-d told me
 Greed, lust, hate, and envy sweeped us from Shemtie
 Keep us from simply, unifyin', organizin'
 We all are fallin', when we think we all are risin'
 We pop Crist on the horizon, topless chicks wit thick thighs &
 I'd rather be civilizin', enterprisin', improvisin'
 Temperature risin', L.O. Heem gave me the guidance
 Told me leave those 85ers alone, blend wit the wise men
 That buy 80 G stones, twin Mercedes at homes
 Fuck a juck, spend 10 Gs alone on chrome
 When I die they'll take my chromosomes and clone clones
 Two hundred and eight bones
 Microchip kits, we most dominant
 You know what time it is, that's why I exist
 Jump out of limo, lims, fire the blitz, wise scientist
 Applyin' this, ?lavi," then wide this
 I'm survivin' this, quiet tribalness, finalist
 Year 2000, flyin' the whips
 9 cent, mind bent, 1999 rhyme alignment

 {Nina Simone sample: "Blaaaaaaaaaaack is the colorrrrrrrrrr"}

 Nature {Verse Three}
 We went from, arraignments to entertainment
 24 seve, the same shit, playin' the strip livin' dangerous
 Bottle after bottle, soon became a ritual
 The patterens we follow, others found 'em difficult
 I guess it's obvious
 As to what my hobby is
 The root of all evil, pollute the scene niggas by the kids
 Gettin' caught up, the same game done left 'em all stuck
 I reminisce on V.S. touchin' my fourth cup
 Me? My only problem is I'm more fucked
 Knowin' in my heart I can't sleep, till I bust off nuts
 Weed religion, for all my niggas that beat the system
 And those bentin', sittin' since Conico Vision
 Y'all need to listen, it's journalistic
 Y'all hear the whispers "Niggas in The Firm is twisted."
 Spit that fly shit that earn the bitches
 Whip the chrome six up the F.D.R.
 It's blessed we are
 See I never let 'em strees me god, forever stress free
 While twistin' up logs of that Nestle
 Who are you to question me? It's just my destiny
 To kick back, kill time, and live successfully

 {Nina Simone sample: "When he and I will be as one."}

 AZ: {Nina Simone sample playing through out}
 Firm... How y'all want it? Huh? hu... Talk to me... We give it to ya
 either way... We workin' wit ch'all... This, is for you...Love Is
 Love... 9-8.... Firm shit....

 {Nina Simone sample: "Black is the colorrrrr... of my true love's
 hair... my true love's hair... of my truuuuuuuuuue love's hair
