[Intro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah y'all... New York City

Tryna to see where I'ma go tonight

The most famous town in the whole fuckin' world

The other night, nigga was at Lotus...

I hit P and them

I was Dom P'ed up in there, you know

But I found this new spot we went to the other night, yo

Check it out, check it out how it went


[Verse 1]

It was just cool like, smooth night with my jewels bright

Goons left, goons right, Coupe with blue lights

Bad girls in black pearls, gave us cat calls

Took 'em back to the crib to break they ass off

In the loft, mixing hash and dro

Honey spreaded that asshole, like a wide mouth bass

Sippin' wine out the glass, Teddy Pendergrass blast

When the phone ring, the house lights flash

Turned down the sound, let's get down to business

Shit about to go down with some foul niggas

What the voice said, "What up, Bop? Who want it?"

I put the guap up, get the boy popped

He say, "Son, stop, it's dudes you feeding

Who feeding other dudes, but they really not eating"

"Dog, why you callin' me? This our food

You handle the mouths that it trickles down to

Niggas want beef, I want some of that cow too

But I'm in my princely robe, simply rich

Don't bother me with silly shit, call Rico"

He said, "It is Rico", of all people

Gave his moms furs, called up the mayor to get his crime pardoned

His son's godfather (Hmm)

Said the nigga shot up my cars (What?)

Last night, he laid for me to come out my doors?


[Chorus]

Niggas always on that bullshit

To make a nigga wanna open up a full clip (Yeah)

Niggas always on that bullshit

Now your funeral, the preacher's at the pulpit (Uh)

Niggas always on that bullshit

To make a nigga wanna open up a full clip (Uh)

Niggas always on that bullshit

Now your funeral, the preacher's at the pulpit

You can't kill me


[Verse 2]

High, fly, send a fella loaf or glass

Fold up cash, you ain't heard the soldier's half

You speakin' hogwash, silly shit, Balderdash

I got the la sparked, Phillies lit, smoker's jacket on

The son of a Capricorn, my dad's a don

What you think that he spawned? A slacker? Nah

Packed the nines – yo, this nigga's asinine

Smack your mom, relaxed and calm, then mack your mom

In a casket, you'll get your fashion on

You'll be in a suit and tie, you'll die

You'll make maggots turn to flies, fuckin' with Nas

Remember anyone can get it at anytime

Lames'll swear by your name, when they lie

Get hit with the Lone Star, ripped where your bones are

So tell me how your ass gon' run

From a C-Z-P-0-1?

In the midst of real steel movers, you a loser

Murk you with your own shooters

All you want is a name, pissed and insane

My security system, my play spot, a fireplace, listen

Then it goin' off, start spittin'

Niggas try to bring it where I live in

Trusting you, knew where all of the cribs at

So we waited with the Sigs – blat, blat, blat!


[Chorus]

Niggas always on that bullshit

To make a nigga wanna open up a full clip (Yeah)

Niggas always on that bullshit

Now your funeral, the preacher's at the pulpit (Uh)

Niggas always on that bullshit

To make a nigga wanna open up a full clip (Uh)

Niggas always on that bullshit

Now your funeral, the preacher's at the pulpit

You can't kill me


[Outro]

You can't kill me

You can't kill me

You can't kill me
