[Raekwon] Aiyo, Rockstars, bases and capers flying through cases With placed bread, lead blowing through domes, scalped faces Moving through towns, skama lit, nations bend stations Dope fiend Asians, smoke cream vanquishes The town is thirsty for work, blood hurting Flash the curtain, open, I'm scoping, Hutch and his team Clutching Dutches Backwoods, other shits working, not perfect Flipping discussions, cussing all froze with slush, kid Lacer had the drop, pass the glock, Woosie uzi The car hard bluesy with the pay me mean 'Bach Cream shot, clean slot, one in his dome, four shock He partially zoned, his dome fell on the rock His face dazzle, niggas baffle, son, hit the floor, he traveled Yo, to a new land, I cracked his cerebellum Wide open, open the crowd up, he fouled up, black laid in the hall For like forty-five to an hour, soaking
