[Verse 1: Big L]

Check it, when I'm onstage you niggas know whose mic this is

Sport the presidential Rol' full of ice-eses

My name it ring a bid-ell, I'm hot as hid-ell

I live swid-ell, how could you mention Harlem and forget L?

Me and you can get it on, and we'll see who gets shitted on

You tried to do what I did but you did it wrong

I'm not a child, I'm a grown man

You push a Six but I own land, try that

You can't buy that, pass the lye black, let my fry that

Where I rest frontin' fly cats get robbed and shot at

Knuckle up, bet I swell you

I stay Rolexed and never get tested, so what that tell you?

My whole crew puff blunts and fuck stunts

I won't lie, I got stuck once

Then I seen the kids who did it, cocked my gat and got that back

Now you figure the rest, I'ma stop at that

You still livin' cause I allowed it, coward

Runnin' round, frontin' hard like you 'bout it, 'bout it

But I doubt it, doubt it

What I recite be takin' hours to write

So if you bite just tell your man what type of flowers you like

[Verse 2: Lord Finesse, O.C.]

I be that underworld Don, certified bomb

(What you after Pah?) The paramesan and nice swans

By all means my theme is to gross the cream like Joe

I don't wanna be a player, I'll just coach the team

Reign supreme, straight and still great

Can you relate? I'm after ill papes like Bill Gates

Don't flip drugs, just a slick thug that gets love

Make chicks bug then take it all off like strip clubs

Too slick, on some ultra-cool shit

On some "You gon' need me before I need you" shit

I got chicks hooked, have your cash shook

Ayo, 'Nesse, these niggas frontin' and they far from crooks

Nigga look I've been right, you're skatin' on thin ice

I hem mics, this cat's nice like Glenn Rice

Game's tight, so just get the name right

'Cause I'll be damned if half you cats can rock the same mic

[Chorus: All]

Yeah, we stand strong, even in the time of crisis

When our man passed on, we still march on

Dignified, walkin' with our heads up high

Soldiers 'til the day that we die, rest assured

[Verse 3: A.G., O.C.]

Now while y'all bite like termites, we'll shine like torchlights

Burn mics, truth is I'm better off mics

Get raw like, G.D. on mics of all types

Four mics ain't enough, this royal flush is clutch

Realer than most, stay concealin' the toast

But reveal the flames like the last days, there's mad ways

To make the paper, but these chickens taste the vapor

I lace the flaper, wanna be major, that's my nature

I'm forced to kick the dopest shit, load the clip

Let My Mind Spray, foes submit, it's over with

Hold my click like the cheebas, drop bombs like bad receivers

You wanna see us? Then beep us, cause we off the hook

I smoke the cheebas and remain here cause they need us

Sell-outs, they want to be us, but it ain't here

I blow spots and hold Glocks, for those cops

That try to roadblock my road to the top, I throw shots

If you're not, I'm bird huntin' in the Suburb frontin'

And I been peeped Duke, in the rear-view, ain't nothin'

That's what you say, but I say, "It's probably somethin'"

End up frontin', but on another note

Y'all emcees better take it while y'all can get it

'Cause where we hit it we gon' rape it

To let you know that D.I.T.C. shitted (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 4: O.C.]

Now who can recall all of the phenomenon is flawless

Like diamonds bein' dug from a mine, priceless

I am too much for the average man, nigga, who can?

You ain't, fuckin' with Diggin' is like walkin' on quicksand

Shit, my crew will run a blitz on your team

Fantasizin' ain't our thing cause we far from a dream

We live and learn, concerned for one another like brothers

Am I my brother's keeper? No doubt I'm a believer in karma

Which niggas wanna bring the drama?

Fuck with O.C., get smoked like scarma or ganja

Let me remind y'all once (once)

If I gotta say it twice we gonna find y'all

The way we roll we have teeth chatterin', now who's coldest?

Diggin' in the Crates crew, Dignified Soldiers

[Chorus: All]

Yeah, we stand strong, even in the time of crisis

When our man passed on, we still march on

Dignified, walkin' with our heads up high

Soldiers 'til the day that we die, rest assured

We stand strong, even in the time of crisis

When our man passed on, we still march on

Dignified, walkin' with our heads up high

Soldiers 'til the day that we die, rest assured
