Where I was born, nothing is promised
 My life is filled with less hope than the prophecies of Nostradamus
 Omega marks the ending of predictability, birth of agility
 Who will it be to test me and expose their futility.
 Iron like a lion from Zion stop tryin' so hard,
 I think I smell your brain cells fryin'.
 The family's behind you if you're worthy
 Philosophies developed deep in the back streets of dirty Jersey
 Troops with scully hats and Timberland boots
 No more break-dancing for loot.
 Niggas hustle and shoot
 In the Garden State, it grows stink weeds and criminals
 Government funds are minimal
 Oppression's subliminal

 [CLEF]
 These days its hard for we to find peace of mind
 Between insanity and sanity there lies a thin line.
 Some dwell in hotels with Jezebels
 A stone age and fall a victim to the Plague
 Unclean bad dreams of Wyclef being a fiend,
 One last kiss from my sweet serpentine
 Eliminate then break,
 Navigate to rejuvenate thoughts of suicide with my nickel plate.
 Reconcilation came from my enemy-friend
 Who said family don't bend
 We stay silent till the end.
 Now who would think that your best friend
 Would be your worst enemy and your enemy your best friend.
 Stare into the air inspiration from the atmosphere
 I think of old ghosts, that ain't even here.
 Like Alex Haley take notes on this Biography
 My family tree consists of street refugees.
 A ghetto land, where we talk slang
 Stolen cars bang, like my chitty bang-bang sh-bang
 For the heads, we ain't sellin' cocaine today
 So refrain and let my family reign okay

 [OMEGA]:CHORUS
 Just walkin' the streets death can take you away
 It's never guaranteed that you'll see the next day
 At night the evil armies of Shaton don't play
 So defend the family that's the code to obey

 [CLEF]
 But if I fall asleep and death takes me away
 Don't be surprised son, I wasn't put here to stay
 At night the evil armies of Shaton don't play
 So the family sticks together and we never betray

 [CLEF]
 Nah fuck that
 Fifty-two pick up, no cops around
 Fifty-two thousand in cash, I don't want no savings bonds
 Have the money ready, I smell something fishy
 Your wife's in my custody
 One false move and you'll find her body in the sea.
 That's the voice of the kid, that's the kidnapper
 I do my work and then I catch my ticket to Jamaica.
 Meet me in the alley, make sure you bring the money
 This ain't the seventies I'm far from a jive turkey

 [LAURYN]
 My circle it can't be broken
 Open, cut-throatin', provokin'
 Record promotin, tokens chokin' on they words like smoke and.
 Cause we soft spoken, doesn't mean that we've forgotten
 Your bootie smells rotten and one day you will be gotten
 See joker's is scatter-brained, their focus is unrestrained
 My army is trained, you never find us beefin' in vain.
 Cause I've seen fire and I've seen rain
 You claim fame, while modest niggas remain.
 I can judge a character like Ito judge a verdict
 And if you bringin' threats I give you sex if I ain't heard it.
 See poppin' s***'s about your attitude and how you word it
 I've seen the biggest niggas on the block get murdered
 And they deserverd it
 Or so the beast said when they served it ???
 That s*** is nervous
 So what's my purpose?
 Family, we must preserve it.
 Your number's retired
 I hope you like the hell fires
 You'll be screamin' Murder she Wrote like Chaka Demus and Pliars.

 [OMEGA]:CHORUS
 Just walkin' the streets death can take you away
 It's never guaranteed that you'll see the next day
 At night the evil armies of Shaton don't play
 So defend the family that's the code to obey

 [LAURYN]
 If I should fall asleep and death takes me away
 Don't be surprised son, I wasn't put here to stay
 At night the evil armies of Shaton don't play
 So the family stick together and we never betray.

 [FORTE]
 We used to jump rope,
 But now we gun hope
 Bustin' shots off of project roof tops
 Sending signals with the blunt smoke.
 Ock, don't talk a lot if you can't hold it in lock

 If you think lips sink ships,
 Imagine full glock clips.
 I hold a glass of Remy Martin
 Gettin' milks by the carton
 Extortin' the light weights for thinkin' they important
 The night pays and heavenly ways
 Ain't nothin' free ah
 Knowledge of your family and steppin' to your B.I.
 You see I, stay on top of s*** like a fly
 My niggas reach when they got beef
 Then jet down to South Beach
 Yo mouthpiece is yappin'
 I hear it in your rap and
 My family is thick so that bulls*** could never happen.

 [CLEF]:CHORUS
 Just walkin' the streets death can take you away
