The Pledge (Remix)

(album: The Last Temptation - 2002)

There's no me
In the beginning, it was me (blastin') Nas (I'm blastin')
I stood alone (Ashanti) but now
Don't you know that I will never leave
Uh, Murder Inc. y'all
It's Murda! Nigga, ha ha!
It's over now; y'all know that right? (Irv Gotti!)
Ill Will baby
It's Murda, it's Murda, for life

My enemies want sorta the same respect I was born with
God's Son, tatted on my chest, it's permanent
The rap Albert Anastasia, you cowards
Y'all want the crown from the black power man of Asia
Snap out your dreams and prayers of taking a king's paper
Ask another rapper how it feels to lose his whole gangsta (how it feel, man?)
You's a no namesta – ya little mans is no threat
You make me upset I might stank ya (blastin')
Inc. is the Murder, Ill Will merger let my cash
Make sex with yo' cash, it can't hurt us
Phones ringing off the hook, Bush and Bloomberg calling me constant
Streets wanna know the 'cause of that gossip
Nas is Lord of the projects 'til the coffin's dropping
In the ocean like a Amistad slave overboat when
It's a new day, y'all should be scared I'm back with Stoute
Southside, Queensbridge, the hood's in here

There's no me (uh, talk to me) without you (there's no me y'all)
I can't be (I-N-C) without you (Ill Will now)
Don't you know that I will never leave (talk to me now)
Leave you (it's no me, y'all)
All I need (I-N-C) need is you
There's no me

B-b-b-blastin'!
Let me talk to these niggas Gotti
I'm blasting
Yeah, what's up Suge?
It's Murda, for life!

And Lord knows I'll die, I pledge allegiance to homicide
And murder be the case when I kill 'em
Why, would they get a nigga like me started?
I'm regarded the hardest working artist since 'Pac (niggas!)
And I ain't talking if I'm liked or better
I'm talking if he was here we'd probably ride together
On this chick ass nigga with curls, bitch dog!
Get at me dog – Rule, nigga, the boss
But you always been a pup now, ain't it a pity
That you running to IG, dying to be me
But I pledge, I-N-C and for the love
I'll bleed it in blood and die from hot slugs, motherfuckers

There's no me (uh, talk to me) without you (there's no me y'all)
I can't be (I-N-C) without you (Ill Will now)
Don't you know that I will never leave (talk to me now)
Leave you (it's no me, y'all)
All I need (I-N-C) need is you

Murder I-N-C – you know that I can't see myself
Living without you, being without you, breathing without you baby
What you done to me – you know that I can't see myself
Living without you, being without you, breathing without you baby

There's no me (there's no me) without you (without you)
I can't be (can't be) without you (can't be)
Don't you know that I will never leave (I'll never leave)
Leave you (that I'll never leave)
All I need (all I need, all I need), need is you

There's no me (uh, talk to me) without you (there's no me y'all)
I can't be (I-N-C) without you (Ill Will now)
Don't you know that I will never leave (talk to me now)
Leave you (it's no me, y'all)
All I need (I-N-C) need is you
There's no me

I shall not fear no man but God
Though I walk through the valley of death
(Don't you know that I will)
If I should die before I wake
Please God walk with me
Grab a nigga and take me to Heaven

It's Murda!
It's Murda, for life
