[Pre-Verse]

Portraying but haven't been paying

(uh-huh, uh-huh)

Yeah, no doubt, no doubt (uh-huh, uh-huh)

This polly champ cat

Yeah, stop this one

(uh-huh, uh-huh)


[Verse 1: Raekwon]

Yo, Gambino niggas who swipe theirs, deluxe rap cavaliers

Midgets who steal beers, give ’em theirs

Sit back jollyin'

My team be gaming like three-card molly and drug Somalians pollying

Mittens raps they crocheting

Ayo Iron, these niggas portraying but haven't been paying

For real, slide on these niggas like a fresh pair

Caesar fade style, usually tuck grenade

Throw a blade, fuck getting laid, guzzle this shit like Gatorade

Day to day Wallies half-leather half-suede

Connecting with the high stylist, dun

Light up a chalice, I run with nothing but the wildest, foulest

Come on now, long-dick style

Niggas on the hit out, ayo Iron bite my shit out

Eventually, bust a rap gun mentally

Been doing this a century kid, shit’s meant to be

Get on your knees and bless me with a gem in the Caribbean

Skiin' off white BM

Snatch Canadian cream with Scandinavians

Palladium style, play it like 32 Arabians

The greatest lesson is don't owe, you might get stole on

When I go, bury me with velour on


[Verse 2: Ghostface Killah]

The fully operational stock broke his thing

Magazines pronounce Ghost makes love to Billie Jean

We pop willies, club with hillbillies and leave' em on E

Casualty, sneak upon kids like big bags of D

Gather all the bodegas and tight-chest stragglers

Pick inside the clock and call 'em baldhead hagglers

The war begins, follow me like Indians

Surround the Rocky Mountains, form a cipher, hold a rally, we spreading like weed

The sun is never dipped high beam Next battered up, you swing right through the small theme

Like a wild fiend you be based out with your shirt off after hours l

Could Wu represent horse power

My voice box is a building, echo chamber

Child born in the manger, nurtured, cracked three holy strangers Taurus the bull in mad pool, damage your perimeter

Certified the seven in the flag and just remember the Blackman be God Cipher Divine

Annheuser-Busch lines that purify the evilest swine

Because thoughts react so fast, I'm so sick So quick to bang a nigga up with a icepick I'm stranded, facing your peeps, I be the one

Picture Ghostface and the sons be on the run

Reject that, brothers wouldn't never expect that

Running up on the God Ghost was to catch l

My technique, do words I speak slapped you freak

I get deep like deading George Bush in the sleep

Untold, no one seen shit, no one heard jack

Overseas counting G’s relaxed and layed back
