Every day just comes “slowly roamin”
death creppin round the block, like the “po’s patrollin”
just lookin for a victim as its “corner rollin”
then life flashes to the eyes like a “kodak moment”
to be high, for long times, n “never fall down”
impossible, even rulers cant “forever be crowned”
we want paper, so we earn it by “dispensin our lead”
n sellin mind trickin stuff too “intense for our heads”
good times never last, only “once in a while”
memories aint relived, happens “once to a child”
flashbacks got me dizzy, man I “seem so high”
it got me drunk on memories, like I “D-U-I”
yo, i’m checkin out the scene and everything seems right
niggas huntin green like i fiend 4 the mic
noone has this passion, attracted like an addict 2 the white
lemme write my life story, how i fight 4 the glory
lovin all my cousins, my brothas come before me
i write truth in the booth, stay tight like some screws
sometimes i get confused so i rhyme when im blue
it’s funny how the gloom will make my mind bloom
im tryin 2 find the sun, but i only see the moon
dude, im movin through the dark
gettin lost like lewis wit no clark
tryna find the dream every man has seen
livin wit the green like a land full of trees
i had a dim memory i didnt see comin
jumpin out my head while i sip hennessy
remember me, im the man wit energy
endlessly cast this light from the mic
shinin like... diamonds
im tryin — - surrounded by rhymin
remind ya of an island
my man put it down, now hes lookin from the clouds
i took his place, ladies screamin like i sprayed mace
nah thats my words, but they seem the same
rockin through ya head and end in ya brain
yo, my homies say that though white, i flow like the next pac
but i’d rather be the next nas
queens representah, only recognized by the real on every block
of course in queens many got henny and rocks
keep the semis cocked, so i keep my enemies shocked
i love my hood, though it aint no ghetto
but i ride thru and most of my friends aint fake in the ghetto
im makin you sweat though, got you shook and nervous
the lights fadin like when you underwater, lookin at the surface
cuz im hot, get haters cooked like a furnace
and make ladies come back repeatedly, like trips to turin
god speaks to me, thats why i got this ability, lyrically,
and you cheesy, b, more than italian eateries
i discriminate evenly, murder any opponents
you can’t define me, i’m made up of too many components
and the gems that i roll with give away my heritage
does jade look american? bitch
im taiwanese, if you don’t like me,
then ima ride on you so you cant fly like me
on the mic, i be one of the realest in a long time
with a strong mind, and if you wanna dice wit me i take you for a long ride
take you to my hood, the appearance got you scared enough
and god help you if you meet somebody very tough
graffiti on every other garage door, up in woodside and elmhurst
and if you in the wrong place at the wrong time, maybe shells’ll burst
shit, even in my hometown we got potheads in the schoolyards... please
smokin weed? fuck that, these dumb cats is foolhardy

good shit just need to work on your flow when recording
--- “Since the beginning of time twas written in the stones that one day a band would come. Well, that band has come and now they’re here to come again in your ear pussies.“
we just “started off as soldiers” just “sparkin on the corners”
in the “darkest of the borders” where we “barkin out for quarters”
lil “stray cats n the canines” bein “chased back by the k-9’s”
eatin lead, like clicker pencils, seven “faced as all us ate nines”
wishin betta, this vendetta, got us “kneelin by our bedsides”
“hands grasped”, “glancin at”, all our “streets before the lead flies”
smellin smoke in the air and it “aint from all the crackheads”
but all the gunpowder that was “sprayed to people capped dead”
just chillin with my “close friends”, “sittin round the front door”
till bullets chase after them, “hittin if they run slow”
had to escape the battlefield but it “wont cuz I’m retreatin”
soon ill return like Jesus, n all us “boys will soon be leavin”
dreamin happily in homes, away from “dealers n the bangers”
before they “steal us n they play us” n “heat us with they sprayas”
we still “believin in our prayas”, not lettin “homies go”
we “go for gold” in the “coldest colds”, “lord you know"
--- “The name of my car insurance is YO FUCKIN FAULT -Luda
i got mad words 2 make my rhymes flow
if ya aint heard, i make the nines blow
so, dont mess wit the best or get ya toes wet
i suggest ya step off the scene and think
is it worth ya life, ya might get drained like a sink
i got ice like a rink, enough 2 skate on
style nice as a guy in pink, enough 2 hate on
ima stay fresh till the day i aint the best
better pray cause today yer still next
