(feat. Big L, Fat Joe)



[Big L]

I drive up and down Harlem blocks, iced out watch

Knots in my socks, cops think I'm selling rocks

Pulling me over too see if I'm drunk

but I'm sober they wouldn't fuck with me if I drove a Nova

Listen Columbo you're mad because 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 cause 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 a pist-al, my whole click's wild

I'm rich pal, no more sticks I'm makin hits now

I drink Cristal, I'm through breakin laws

I don't sell coke anymore, I do tours

So get that flashlight out of my face

To bring me down them Jakes'll 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 done came way too far to be callin it quits

Jake wanna lock me up even though I'm legit

They can't stand to see a young brother pockets get thick



[Fat Joe]

Aiyyo enough's enough, federals try to set me up

Put me in cuffs and crush what I lust into dust

Plus, they want a nigga sewed, but they know 

Big Joey Crack ain't never rat a cat that he know

Fo' sho', death before dishonor; I left the streets alone

since Tone deceased it 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 used to steal but now I own several businesses

So where's your witness that you claim to have, sayin that I'm takin half

Extortin New York and not payin tax

I'm layin back, playin the role, playin the low

But it's the same ol Joe so don't get K.O.d

Hey yo I'm gonna fry for what I never did

or catch a heavy bid, why don't they just let a nigga live?



[Chorus x2]



"What would you do..

if the vicious enemy suddenly started comin at you..

armed to the teeth, and ready to kill you?"
