[Intro: Method Man]

Ha! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah

One-time


[Verse 1: Method Man]

Yo, never liked son from day one

Bring you through, that nigga stick you and play dumb

Hate a bitch-ass, who care where you came from?

You ain't prepared for when the pain come, this nigga scared

Shook to death from a cold stare, stuntin'

Knowin' my brothers fiend to do you somethin' over here, we head huntin'

In the function I smell fear, adrenaline start pumpin'

I Smash Pumpkins, hard rock be in the Café

Tear the club up, and anyone that try to judge us, the last days

Makin' sure I get the last say

In the food chain, is you predator or prey?

If you featherweight, lyrics blow your back, crack your vertebrae

Lookin' for a better way to get my point across

Thoughts accelerate at the same speed of the murder rate

Lord, never perpetrate a fraud

'Til my nigga Carlton Fisk, see the boss, truly yours, Mr. Mef


[Verse 2: Streetlife]

Life's a snippet, one-way ticket

Time tickin' fast, blink, you might miss it

Schemin' on Street shit, you might catch fifty stitches

Body bag sprayed up, buried in muddy ditches

I play for keeps, bust heat, you catch cold feet

My rap sheet speak for itself, concrete

Evident, Killah Hill resident, double dart agent

Secret intelligent, my rap style's flagrant

[Chorus: Streetlife]

Feel the sting of a Killa Bee

Johnny Blaze, Streetlife, Deck and Mobb Deep

Play four keeps in the city that you never sleep

Pay attention, ain't no shittin' where you gotta eat

We hold it down!


[Verse 3: Inspectah Deck]

I move like Mad Max across the wasteland

One hand holds the head of the last brave man

Made man, Cuban Link chain of command

Authorized fam', hot like Sahara sand

My live team turn the club to a crime scene

High beams flash, promoters die behind cream

Get your face blown, might face the chrome

We take this more serious than just a poem


[Verse 4: Havoc]

I think about a lot of shit, especially when I'm bent

About the foul shit goin' on in my life, current event

It's evident I smoke a cigarette down to Brownsville

Thinkin' to myself, "How many lives must my pound kill?"

Hopefully none, ain't the one to give chase

Hemmed by Jake, worryin' who might turn state

So I chill, put my killer niggas on the battlefield

On the low, plottin' silent murderer, never doubt still

Never follow beef, hey, beef follow me

Wanna settle in the court? I say settle it in the streets

Like our pops did it, you got gats? Get hot with it

Now you dry snitchin' because you got knocked with it

I just rock with it, go with the flow, think for a hot minute

Stash my dough secure the funds of profit


[Verse 5: Prodigy]

Yo, extreme rhyme niggas, you wastin' your time fuckin' with mine, niggas

Extraordinary lines twistin'

Your mind out position, tryna figure this shit

Rewind it and listen quick, you might miss this

Olympic, rap javel-on, travel beyond your weak song

Doin' this for too long to not come strong

You're only a pawn of Viet Dong

Tryna form against mines, you must've just been born

Secluded on a distant farm

This is the real world where niggas get shot and shanked

Where there's tremendous pain, you get your frame inflamed

Crushed to dust by the next man's clutch

It's Infamous, you fucks, intense rap lust


[Chorus: Streetlife]

Feel the sting of a Killa Bee

Johnny Blaze, Streetlife, Deck and Mobb Deep

Play for keeps in the city that you never sleep

Pay attention, ain't no shittin' where you gotta eat

We hold it down!

Stand strong on our two feet

We all ready for a war here, fuck peace! What?

Feel the sting of a Killa Bee

Johnny Blaze, Streetlife, Deck and Mobb Deep

Play for keeps in the city that you never sleep

Pay attention, ain't no shittin' where you gotta eat

We hold it down!

Stand strong on our two feet

We all ready for a war here, fuck peace!


[Outro]

One-two
