[Prodigy]
The most violent of the violentest crimes we give life to
If these QueensBridge kids don't like you
we bring trauma, the worst kind of enemies
your first time will be your last Earth memories
It's only your own fault, I gave you fair warning
beware, of killa kids who don't care
unaware fools will be dealt with in time
It ain't a mystery, ??? on the words and rhyme
in nineteen-hundred and ninety square
all shook niggaz is supposed to have fear
tryna get a piece of this pie, we don't share
prepare for the worst cause I been there
try to keep a positive mind, and walk a straight line
don't work, so niggaz is forced to do dirt
and God made dirt
so this dirt won't hurt
If I listen to the lessons and the rules I learnt
On these streets for 19 years and not leavin
my first priority is to reach 21 breathin
forever beef nobody will ever be even
so I grab the heat before breezin
lost in this foul mindstate, I can't keep straight thinkin
but I keep my eyes on the Earth without blinkin
It's hard to be a man in this land of the venom
any man try to front, he get slugs in him because
Chorus:
[Prodigy]
He ain't a crook son, he just a shook one
We live the life that of diamonds and guns, and numerous ways that we choose to earn funds
some niggaz get shot, locked down, and turn nuns
cowardly hearts, and straight up shook ones, shook ones
He ain't a crook sonhe just a shook one
[Havoc]
For every rhyme I write, It's 25 to life
to all my peoples in the Bridge know what I'm talkin bout, right?
ain't no time for hesitation, that only leads to incarceration
you don't know me, there's no relation
cause Queens niggaz don't play
I don't got time for the he-say she-say
I'm bigger than that
claimin that you pack a gat, but you scared to get locked
once you get up on the Island, change your ways and stop
13 years in the projects, and hard times of livin
wake up in the mornin, thank God I'm still livin
sometimes I wonder, do I deserve to live?
and am I gonna burn in hell for all the shit I did?
No time to dwell on that, cause my brain reacts
front if ya want nigga, lay on ya back
I don't fake jacks kid, you know I bring it to ya live
stay in a child's place kid, you outta line
Criminal mind's thirsty for recognition mission
I'm strictly sippin E&J like got my mind flippin
I'm buggin, think I'm always outta hold for hustlin
get that loot kid you know my muthafuckin function
cause long as I'm alive, I'ma live illegal
and once I get it I'ma put it on my people
react quick spit lyrics like macs I hit
your dome up, when I roll up
don't br caught creakin cause I'm creepin(cause I'm creepin)
you just a shook one
Chorus:
[Prodigy]
We live the life that of diamonds and guns, and numerous ways that we choose to earn funds
some niggaz get shot, locked down, and turn nuns
cowardly hearts, and straight up shook ones, shook ones
He ain't a crook sonhe just a shook one
We live the life that of diamonds and guns, and numerous ways that we choose to earn funds
some niggaz get shot, locked down, and turn nuns
cowardly hearts, and straight up shook ones, shook ones
He ain't a crook son, crook sonhe just a shook one, shook one
yeah
