You better thicken your skin Move with your peoples through the thick and the thin I watch for po-po, they raiding the crib And I isn’t trying to get jammed, and have the next man raising my kids God forbid, dudes be hating on his, because a nigga go hard And hit them harder then they saying they is But that's just New York, I carry the torch, just long enough To light a Newport and carry this thought Fuck what you thought, the bigger the boss, bigger the cost They don't know about the Tribe of Shabazz, niggas is lost
