We used to wrap it in the clear like cellophane

Spent a time in the trap but I never banged

Never cared about your name, or you brand, or your brand names

I just hit it raw while she tell me what her man makes

Met shorty with a mug and a handshake

But this drug money make her think I got a fan-base

I been on the top floor, thats Anne Frank

And we still buildin' more, yo, we can't wait

Im'a be takin' it like I been for years

Motherfuck you for sayin' shit while you be dyin' a fear

We stayin' true and makin' money never one or the other

So when you feel the thunder come you better duck undercover

You fuckin' in trouble

For fuckin' with the king of the jungle

Your eyes sting and ears ringin' in the face of the hustle

Remind me what real is and we can link on the double

But ‘less part of my family I ain't care for rebuttals

Im all business unless you're talkin' 'bout my misfits im'a roll out for the day

Come to think, bitch, I don't usually like to listen to anybody talkin' to me, i'll be walkin' away

Been showin' motherfuckers the work

Think you understand me? Come and show me your worth

I raise hell and bounce to it when i'm finished with earth

See I was raised by myself in dirtiest of the dirt

I know I get it, I could see it with my third eye

Why step to someone infatuated with murder?

Try fuckin' me while the crew is carryin' burners

Die or don't get involved with nothin' that don't concern you

Move in herds and we bark again

They know the killer like i'm cursed with the mark of Kane

Get off the chain, or just make way for the hall-of-famer

Playa', I don't see your shots landin' get your aim up

You could find me standin' with a gun and a paint brush

I been the one to build 'cause we're flooded with fake fucks

Better run for the hills, 'cause we jumpin' them flames up

Front it’ll get you killed, every one of us dangerous

Look, I got a bad bitch with a pill habit

And we on my mattress bumpin' Illmatic

Better get your fact list

When you're mouthin' and you actin like i'm fallin' off while knowin' that I still have it

Still the baddest, climbin' like you and fathom

Stack funds like you ain't imagine

Big guns, everyone on the scene a savage

Hold up, everyone on my team a captain

Like, you can keep on talkin', but I know you’ll never do it

Im'a put 'em in a coffin, they're too focused on the music

I be something like a shark in the water

Better forget what you thought of and get it movin'

Ride to the middle of the hurricane

Comin' at 'em spinnin' like a goddamn shuriken

Nothin' been the same since we took life by the horns if you want me to stop it you gotta murder me

Hey, we don't wait, we just wage the ground war

Fists held high when we praise the outlaws

Lead zip by, when it rains it downpours

Better to look alive, or they take your crown off
