Uh huh

Word Up..........

Drop the beat right here

Yeah



[Chorus - repeat 2X]

Loooove me in a special way what more can I say

Love me now love love me now



[Verse 1]

Since Illmatic this shit started that never departed

I flossed retarded for them lost in the projects 

I taught them logic gaining courses in college

Chased dollars but to me whats most important is knowledge

Know the ledge for ya'll niggas that so on the edge

It ain't nothin for an infrared to go in your head

Life in the streets schooled me well movin light on my feet

So deep had me jumpin up at night in my sleep

Hold ya heat if you that nigga that's influencing beef

I'm trying to eat dont have me put two in ya feet

99 ways i made out to never fade out never get played out

Got guns blast ya way out



Chorus



[Verse 2]

Saw the worst when I was growing

Unknowing my quest until I had reality thrown at my chest

Why would it stress it seem a nigga zone at his best

Is it a test at times I feel my soul is possesed

Flavors of Guess throw key at major connects 

Crazy respect goin through it made me a vet

Gettin down on grounds forbidden

Made bails from ?????? to the cells in Clinton listen

We could war till we no more either or 

Or just ball till we all score it's on ya'll

Did this one for the streets watchin

And the D's in the streets let them keep clockin

We clean got love for the whole game

To go change fake I.D.'s and the code names but no lames

3 op's and theres more to come we all as one 

Recognize I been this raw since young



Chorus



[Verse 3]

Was I sent for the sinners that never repent

Or just another thug bent trying to pay for his rent

Days in contempt I see how ya'll amazed in suspense

Ways spent catch me at the major events

So blow a herb on ya corner curb my word

Doe or Die I was born a swerve bet that

From 40 bottles to the champagne twist a pop

White Lables to the brand names kids on top

And let's toast for the lost souls

And pray enough to hope and meet em at the crossroads reunite

Hope I live to see 88 with crazy cake

In a baby shaped burgandy Bentley with Haiti plates



Chorus 2X
