[raekwon]

Yoyoyoyo

Aiyyo lawhat's up son

Aiyyoyou read the papers

2 columbian niggaz hit these funny niggaz

A heavy routinechevyyukon green

Had crazy coke up in that piece by all means



[la the darkman]

The kids was mad flontingrae'it had to go down

Killers be coming for your neckwhen you wearing a crown

4-5's and ak'skids ready to spray

The cats got nine lives from around my way

Timb boots and dough galoretwo techs by the door

Sowhen the po-po comeI can take them to war



[raekwon]

Same subjecttechs and royalty checks

Plus marketing the drugsequal mad respect

I gotta get mineblast mad nines on a regular

Fake competitor or playerI mean this maker



[la the darkman]

Who's the rap mayorit's meI be the slayer

The dark's in the realmyou contemplate your prayers

Meteorite or clips hitting in the 9-5th

All you yapping mc'slike pancakes you get flipped

I got a thirty shot clip at the grip of the hip

I'm a mad av. warrioryoung tale from the cryptkid



[chorus: raekwon(la the darkman)]

As the world goes round yo the same is the same

(same junkies on the corners shooting shit in their vein)

Whats the dealblack man must rise up to the top

(representing darkman with this real hip hop)



[interlude: raekwon(la the darkman)]

And you don't stop (and you don't stop)

Yeah! (and you can't stop) and you can't stop

(word up! word drop that style)



[la the darkman]

You only live onceexecute your dreams

A third real triple beamweighed out my scheme

For the creammy sold cracksnever could relax

Now build with wu-tangspitting lyrical facts

Young black mad bastard from the concrete street

And never leave the land without strapping my heat

Keep peace and don't beefword life tariff

I stole the million dollar show cuz I'm that dark thief

Ladark gold sparkready to rip you apart

I was born with a gold shield over my heart

Sodon't start noneit won't be none

I'm dominating the screenmy reign just begun

I got raw and uncut for the kids doing the biz

You can't figure my physical like a pyramid

I'm that wicked dark starmay la now ride

I switch to warp space 5 like the starship enterprise

Shy...
