[Chorus]

As time goes by, an eye for an eye

We in this together son your beef is mine

So long as the sun shine can light up the sky

We in this together son your beef is mine

As time goes by, an eye for an eye

We in this together son your beef is mine

So long as the sun shine can light up the sky

We in this together son your beef is mine


[Verse 1: Prodigy]

First of all the foundation, money is the root of all evil

The cream will have you shitting on your people

Living like lotto, everything is everything

Ain't nothing changed but the clothes that my money bring

I'm making figures that I never thought was possible

You try to slow me down you'll find yourself in the hospital

My crew got the army of Tec-xuses and the Mac-uras

Kid you'll get your cap peeled backwards

For years, I've been trying to blow for years

Getting bent off Moët, spending a G on beers

Living life to the fullest, my story ends with a bullet

Til the coke oil drop to the bottom of the pot

My invincible crew will never stop

If you looking, you can find me rising to the top

I'm a classic, approach my level and get your ass kicked

Floating in the river with your body wrapped in plastic

Im trying to make a half a million triple in size

Before my eyes, another part of my team died

I can still hear his voice while he up in the sky

While the rest still living steady telling me lies

It's like a bad dream and I can't wake up

But at the same time I love it and I can't give it up


[Verse 2: Havoc]

I got your life in arms reach, with a slug for each and any

The clip is filled up I'm hitting til it's fucking empty

Presenting, the hollow tip crew, take heed to the message that we sending at you

Choking off your own blood watch your face turn blue

Ain't that some shit, the damage that a bullet can do

Make you change the way you thinking, niggas speed while you blinking, too late

On your way home, you left a trail leaking

I bet you next time you'll listen up while I'm speaking

Now you're laid up in ICU for the weekend

At the same time I'm outside getting my thug on

The St. Ides got my mind fucking bugging


[Chorus]

As time goes by, an eye for an eye

We in this together son your beef is mine

So long as the sun shine can light up the sky

We in this together son your beef is mine


[Verse 3: Nas]

A drug dealer's dream:

Stash CREAM, keys on a triple beam

Five hundred SL green, ninety-five nickle gleam

Condominium, thug dressed like a gentleman

Tailor made ostrich, Chanel for my women friend

Murdering, numbers on your head while I'm burglaring

Shank is serving 'em, what's up to all my niggas swerving in

New York metropolis, the Bridge brings apocalypse

Shoot at the clouds feels like, the holy beast is watching us

Mad man my sanity is going like a hourglass

Gun inside my bad hand I sliced trying to bag grams

I got hoes that used to milk you, niggas who could've killed you

Is down with my ill crew of psychos

Nas Escobar moving all your weak production

Pumping corruption in the third world we just busting


[Verse 4: Raekwon]

My team's hot collecting mad cream, we slingshot

My ring's rock icy like a fuck with a green drop

Call me santa with more snow than Montana

Camouflage Wu emblem on my bandana

Play fair sight, never in a million these cats bite

Folding under pressure like beach chairs

Drug money, hundred dollar nights plus flights around the way

Burning biggys on bikes it's only right

Two for fives 95, five 25s didn't I

Rewind glaciers mixtape niggas throwing eyes

Check dates, my whole crew making they Tecs spray

Shooting ninas off sideways we know it


[Chorus]

As time goes by, an eye for an eye

We in this together son your beef is mine

So long as the sun shine can light up the sky

We in this together son your beef is mine


[Verse 5: Ghostface Killah]

Beat downs galore, kids walk away holding they jaws

Wishing they had yours, tours posters plus sneaker stores

Balls be getting licked kid on whatever airline

Restroom style courtesy from stewardess, the bitch washed mine

Shellbox nines never been popped, Knowledge Build shots

Israelis be hitting me, Bing's death made the store hot

Jewels gleam, niggas beam, whole team labelled wally king

Goldie brought a pair, Chinese man dot him with the green

World's greatest, Las Vegas payed us, rap crusaders

Casino champs, Gods sport the latest

Today's math, fuck nothing but ass, take Cristal baths

Go half on his robbery, we run up on Johnny Cash

Kid's invicible, back to back screws, Wu's suspenseful

You get lynched, starks will play it cool like a mint

Like a night out, whitey's callin me like a double date

Alkies get the shanks, yo it's swine inside Hostess cakes

Yo my man, check the moral or get deaded

You bust a shot and that big bullet was unleaded

Word up


[Chorus]

As time goes by, an eye for an eye

We in this together son your beef is mine

So long as the sun shine can light up the sky

We in this together son your beef is mine
