This is a conquestso I suggest you take a rest

Or keep a breathbut definitely keep a vest on that chest

Rymes I'm packinjust like a thug at a car-jackin'

Shoot off your hat when I start cappinthis is no actin

And you don't want no trouble up in herebaby pa

From the late-night dramaof the new york streets

To the hoods of lareal niggas likin primo's beats

Put suckers on glasssend emback to class

And kick hot shitso we can stack the johnny cash

Corner the market like the mic's last name was corleone

The facade killercome through your city like godzilla

Think of the sickest thing you ever seenra's iller

My vision's vicioussuspect suspicious

No interferinif you ain't downyou got to swearin

And these cats they ain't carinhabitat awarin
