[Verse 1: Cuban Link]
Yo, flipmode is how this nigga roll, finger on the trigger low
Quick to lick a shot for that bigger pot of gold
Lock and load, my heavy metal rock and rolls
If you gotta go, you gotta go, that's part of the show
My heart is cold like Antarctica, nailin' niggas like carpenters
Stalkin' the hardest squadrons
Spark them from New York to Arkansas
Watchin' the projects how I got my logic
Economics is pickin' pockets then we split the profit
The only shit I pop is when my Glock spit
Watch for the cops since we spark the chocolate
'Cause the blocks are hotter than the fuckin tropics
In topless bars, college girls with no bras
My whole squad got blow jobs smokin' Godfather cigars
Live large like Scarface , parlay in a far place
No car chasin', she's watchin' all the stars in space
Safe in sound in my playground with my tre-pound
Got eighty rounds just in case clowns wanna play around
I lay it down for them non-believers
Them non-achievein niggas that wanna be leaders
But can never beat us, y'all better greet us if you ever see us
TS, Beatnuts, knuckle up but grab your motherfuckin' heaters

[Verse 2: JuJu]
It's the control freak, leave you wit a hole in your cheek
Worst attitude in rap, Ju stay on the streets
I gotta eat, the only thing I'm playin is keeps
You beats cost a lot of money but they sound real cheap
You sound weak, anemic like you get no sleep
Fuckin' with me, you outta your mind, get outta your jeep!
Know I'm gonna beat you till the police come
And tell niggas who the fuck I got that Rollie from (The Beats)
[Verse 3: Psycho Les]
Jump in the Pit, Beatnuts fuckin' up shit
Ju, hold my gun and the clip as I smoke one and spit
Ammo over the piano, for a man's show
You don't understand, bro
You do, don't make me laugh at your ass
'Cause you don't even know the half of the half
When I crash on the scene
You know it's me and a bunch of crazy cats outta Queens
So hide your shine, hold your bitch and stop smilin'
Beatnuts will never stop wildin, pit fightin' and rockwildin'
"Common Sense gonna tell ya!"
[Verse 4: Common]
Picture a king wit' heater, holy book, and big rings
Real niggas doin big things, interpreting dreams off of Jim Beam
My gods got the block sewn to the inseem
I'm on the other side tryin to get green
So I fast at grass and ass at least a day
War with self I battle the Middle Eastern way
Bring heat like the months, that's east of May
Casted in the role and saw a new school nigga that knows the old
G memory I hold the scroll, my flow is a Road
Less Travelled, you rock but been through less gravel
My mystique suggest battle, and what have you
Rip a nigga from New York to west coast, Chicago
Don't give a fuck where he from, he'll get beat like a drum
Till this rap goes numb, seekin the hot producer for circu-lation
I strangled his string music and suffocate his drum
Wanted to be a star until I seen I was the sun
Got my weight up like Pun, improvise to get ass
Emphasize to get past, fuck a mic check, I bring my flow in cash
"Slammin MC's on cement"
He wanted to be another famous rapper until he realized he could be one of the biggest. Referring to the fact that the sun is actually a star and is one of the largest
To have something sewn up is to be in complete control. They’ve got the game on lock wall-to-wall.
Follow Psycho Les’s mathematics: you don’t know a quarter of what the deal is.
From Link’s verse on “Off the Books,” the certified banger that introduced the world to Big Pun.
Sample from Nas’s verse on “Live at the Barbeque” by Main Source. Like the “Off the Books” sample, this was the first appearance of an MC who went on to be considered a lyrical giant among his peers.
Sample from “Find That,” also off of Stone Crazy.
He gets drunk off Jim Beam thinking of his dreams
He lives in luxury like Scarface
He’s saying there’s nothing that’s really that good in life except verses put down in rap which usually consist of 16 bars and therefore are referred to as 16s. Also a reference to the 3rd round in the NCAA basketball tournament called the Sweet 16 because 16 teams are left
Sample from “Bless the M.I.C.” off the Beatnuts' Stone Crazy.
