You do your first bid and dirt to get your name known You never talk too much to get your spot blown Now youre no longer just a face in the crowd Youre gettin so much respect that niggaz might as well bow And movin up with your hustle like you planned it Rakin dough like the worlds greatest bandit Always got one eye open, for the stick-up kids postin So much cream chumps they cant understand it Ladies flock to your jock like its golden Curious, to test the weight you be holdin But you aint got no time, to be chasin felines If shes the chick that you pick then she gets chosen People treat you like youre ghetto royalty And all your staff shows you utmost loyalty You paid your dues, refuse to lose in this scenario The rep grows bigga, youre a legend and a hero
Your fame has gotten larger than your life Youve got a harem of bitches and killer niggaz thats hype They got your back, but you so fly you dont need em You shit what youre eatin so you dont peep the proceedings They start schemeing, feeling that youre too swollen And thats the reason why your cash and stash gets stolen You start perspiring, because youre paranoid Still another confrontation that you couldnt avoid Prepare for drama, as if you were a stunt man Back in the days you was a forty and a blunt man Today youre a willie, now the weathers too chilly New york city aint the place to be frontin Over your shoulders day and nights where you look Your so-called fam ran a scam, and you got shook Go back to square one, better go talk to your son See reps grow bigga in the life of a crook
Years ago, we were new jacks to this scene Showed some effort, made fat records, but still saw no green Know what I mean? they tried to stifle us Nigga you could not believe how really ill and trife it was Fed up so we headed on a serious mission Wishin, that we could better our position Two businessmen, guru and prim, we enterprised Too strong to be stepped on, creatively wise The dedicated ministers of underground sound When were doin our thing, you know we dont fuck around No matter how bizarre and different you think you are Your team wouldnt dream of competeing with gangstarr Premier in the rear with the beats and cuts And guru with the mic ready to tear shit up Take us out the game nigga? how you figure? The name is well kept, and the rep just gets bigga
