[Intro: DJ Premier scratches]

"I see..." "Basically over" "I see..." "Basically over" "I seen it"

"I see..." "Basically over" "I seen it"

"Control this rap" "Dunn dunn" "I see..."


[Verse 1: Blaq Poet]

The game's over, Feds took your Range Rover

Your man snitched and your girl's screaming, "I told ya"

About those over the shoulder boulders that you be having

Niggas smile in your face, behind yo' back they backstabbing

Laughing, talkin' 'bout all your business

How much you got to score with, to niggas you went to war with

How many guns you got and where you go to cop

You shoulda seen me coming down the block, you was gettin' hot

But you didn't give a fuck

You make a G in a day and spend it up in a black Benz tinted up

Pound of weed, twist it up, Henny pourin' out your cup

Livin' it up Daddy Warbuck style


[Chorus]

I watched niggas rise, I watched niggas fall down (Fall down)

I seen it all, it went down in my town (Where, where?)

Called Queensbridge, where the fugitives live

Where some rap kids (Rap kids) can turn to bigwigs (Bigwigs)

I watched niggas rise, I watched niggas (Yeah) fall down (Fall down)

I seen it all, it went down in my town (Where, where?)

Called Queensbridge, where the fugitives live

Where some rap kids (Rap kids) can turn to bigwigs (Bigwigs)


[Verse 2: KL]

My niggas rollin' dice and fled, braggin' to the nigga with the slice in his head

Now there's a price on his head

For pullin' out on little bro, flashin' his heat, he askin' for beef

Conference call, ready to brawl

Caught him on a Blaz'a, he breathin' hard like he got asthma

Choice words are spoke, headed for disaster

Last of the grammar I spit

Told him, "Fuck you and whoever you get", he's like, "Whatever, kid"

Fourteen days later – whole team made they way to my block

Young bucks with guns tucked and cocked

Like they runnin' the spot, I'ma load one bullet for all of y'all

You saw it on my face, war ready

I'm callin' the pace, it's gettin' more steady

Don't bite what you can't chew

Dumb little niggas like "That ain't you", yo, recognize what it coulda came to

Put a hole in you, just like a navel


[Chorus]

I watched niggas rise, I watched niggas fall down (Fall down)

I seen it all, it went down in my town (Where, where?)

Called Queensbridge, where the fugitives live

Where some rap kids (Rap kids) can turn to bigwigs (Bigwigs)

I watched niggas rise, I watched niggas fall down (Fall down)

I seen it all, it went down in my town (Where, where?)

Called Queensbridge, where the fugitives live

Where some rap kids (Rap kids) can turn to bigwigs (Bigwigs)


[Verse 3: Hostyle]

Now keeps your eyes on, screwball, these rap dons

Q.B. icons, play the project with a firearm

Fully loaded, I keep a razor that's corroded

I'll slash you with it, 'cause every rhyme is crime committed

Speak it 'cause I did it before, I got on

I dub niggas' moms up 'til they first born

'Til they only child, you pull car you'll get a wild one

I'm at the bottom of the struggle, tryin' to rise, son

A wise one, step ahead, keep my fam fed

Broke bread off this game and I held my head

You want details, then let's negotiate, crack sales

New guns that's watched the game, clientele

Yo, we rock well, we keep our name ringin' bells

From this mic to the street life, we doin' this right

See, we swore to these streets to vibe

And draw heat, fuck a peace sign, a waste of time, respect my nine


[Chorus]

I watched niggas rise, I watched niggas fall down (Fall down)

I seen it all, it went down in my town (Where, where?)

Called Queensbridge, where the fugitives live

Where some rap kids (Rap kids) can turn to bigwigs (Bigwigs)

I watched niggas rise, I watched niggas fall down (Fall down)

I seen it all, it went down in my town (Where, where?)

Called Queensbridge, where the fugitives live

Where some rap kids (Rap kids) can turn to bigwigs (Bigwigs)


[Outro: KL]

What you thought?!

Screw holdin' down the fort

Preemo on the track

What ya'll want now?

It's like dat

Feel it for a minute
