101 Razors

(álbum: The Course Of The Inevitable 3: Pieces Of My Pain - 2023)

Yeah
The grimy and gritty New York City (Uh)

Killer before the shine, I came up that nigga
I'm born to rhyme, bang on the corporate line
These chumps operating on awkward time
This is my quarter, dog, you eat what you slaughter
We all can dine, it was fate
I fall in a hole again, I was supposed to climb
Envy the fortunate, New York in this bitch
Yeah, we torching shit, I reinforced it quick
Bought in a ticket from talking slick
Made it a Porsche to whip, fuck out the way 'fore the horses kick
This where the bosses flick
Bitch with the rings, I'm Stojaković
The hood'll damage you, you got thrown in the game with no manual
Back on my feet after the scramble, got all the intangibles
So pass the man on, Lou' Vuitton my handle (Uh)
Whether the weakest struck a sandal, I'm holding up like a mantle, nigga (Yeah)
Light up a candle, there'll be opps leaving the state
A block season, the city made me cold, I don't think I'ma ever stop freezing
Filet Mignon for no reason, too many days of chop cheesing
Move like I'm under surveillance, but not for scheming, uh

When you thought it was over, another one's out the chamber
When you come up in the boroughs, you comfortable 'round the danger
They ain't gon' do nothing for you, nigga, help's all outta favors
'Cause we never had much
Learning surviving with what they gave us, a hundred-one razors
Shit gon' stay the same, you gotta go through the stages (Uh)
Careful how you move, they want you living in cages (Uh)
Stay away from sucker shit, they hating, it's contagious (Yeah)
I been getting the money, dog, the money won't change us

Legend before retirement, you? Just a Busta before the Rhyme
You primadonnas like a virgin Madonna, but borderline
Bunch of boring lines no one falling for it, so fall in line
The punchline, I'm like a freestyle slime, stay off of mine
Get it? Off of mind? Some of us get it
But off a crime, the offer's off the table
Public defender gon' offer time
When they thought I was subbing, I thought sublime
Now I see since 2020, I clearly thought I was blind, yo
The streets is watching 'em, they want 'em with Biggie and Pac and 'em
Resort to popping 'em, but how is that solving the problem?
I got a lot of 'em, I also got dreams, I follow 'em
I'm not concerned with rappers who can't spit, so swallow then, uh
This ain't for lil' saints, so pardon then (Uh)
You see them pearly gates? That's where them saints go marching in
So shall we start again? Method and Banks, this marketing
'Cause ain't no bargaining with the demographic we targeting

When you thought it was over, another one's out the chamber
When you come up in the boroughs, you comfortable 'round the danger
They ain't gon' do nothing for you, nigga, help's all outta favors
'Cause we never had much
Learning surviving with what they gave us, a hundred-one razors
Shit gon' stay the same, you gotta go through the stages (Uh)
Careful how you move, they want you living in cages (Uh)
Stay away from sucker shit, they hating, it's contagious (Yeah)
I been getting the money, dog, the money won't change us
