[Intro: Cappadonna]

Yeah, yeah, summertime, New York City, stand up

Staten Island, stand up, whoo, yeah, it's a beautiful thing

Gotta bring the colors out now, I got the Nikes

The new things, two bangers, shit is banging song

Ah, yo, yo, yo


[Cappadonna]

I'm in the hood once again, and I'm loving the vibe

All my veteran muthafuckas, we be keeping it live

Even down on G-Street, we be sick with the highs

You niggas is growing up now, they slick with the five

This kid got shot yesterday, Tamik died

Yo, my projects is warm, but it's cold on the outside

I'm still in the building, I live like I'm homeless

Though I love my children, so we reunite once again

I'm a lifeless feeling, yo, love for my fans, bring spiritual healing

With the wisdom, to manifest the best, I feel blessed

Living in the place where I call my rest

Piss in the elevator, shit on the steps, help you appreciate your last breath

What's up next? Call me collect

Yo, Staten Island, Wu-Tang Forever and we paid our debt


[Chorus: Cappadonna]

As the night shine, and the people slept

I came back in the game, I paid my respect

Growth and development, bought me a check, yo, my mind is set

As I sat by the window, and I find my texts

Yo, my cab popped off, I got more assets

And I love my seeds more than I cash my checks

God save me... whoo... hook up with Don'


[Hue Hefna]

Dog, I'm from the same damn place where the Wu was built

Where 2 Cent, Rakio and Boo Boo was killed

Same hood where them crooked ass cops killed Kase

And the judge don't do shit but smile in your face

For the world, why should I, the only way I'mma get drafted

Is by them baskets, playing ball til I die

Temperature's, I rapped though, never had a jumpshot

Fourteen years old, pro basing for one Glock

Focus on the fortune and the fame, the glamour and the glitter

Here now, I ain't joking with you lames

The money was the first love in my life

Fell in love with law, but look at Todd G like my wife

Been a long time, I'm getting it right

In a better position, an opportunity to better my life

Freestyle, better off when I write

I'm a lyricist, you one hitter quitter

Like Whitney and Mike, the rebirth, now we getting it right

Hue Hefna, Cappadonna, Q-Dini flow

Spitting it right, yeah


[Chorus]


[Lahluga]

Why them blind eyes think they can see, what's really happening?

Build with the O.G.'s, Dini, Donna captain

Y.G., Louie the God, swift and changable

Dance with the wolves, but yet, we still remainable

I rep peace, don't eat red meat, like beast

When the beef's all over, still the truth be speak

Put away the heat, teach on peace, move by feet

Walk across the hot desert, your style is weak

Number 7, old two step, that's what it do

It's the hood classic, like a barbeque

Misunderstood too, like the God son do

Saying whose who, stay focused, but do you

Even though I move different, I respect the Wu


[Chorus]
