The Hard Way

(album: The End Of The Beginning - 2015)

Ugh!
Ice City

Grinding at day, fucking at night
Woke up next to a couple of dykes
Hungover like the tongue on my Nikes
Big drinks, hands off, no time to flip green
Cuh now I get paid just to write a 16
Used to play Nintendo 64
Now I've got them ammo packs, let them go for 64
Stay strapped when I hit the streets
And I've got so much shells, I can empty this clip for weeks
You can drive past my home but can't come in
Get chased by the youngens like the ice cream man's coming
In the booth when I've got other things to do
Got this little nigga calling me to whip up a Q
Fam, the least I could do is a half bar
Seven grams? That's too little to whip, like a Smart car
Stay strapped, we don't slide round here
And that tracky in my boot? That's ride out gear
It's Nines

They're like "Yo, where you been, J?"
I've been out of town, spinning like segways
Break down the shh, flying up M-ways
The ends say I'm the modern day MJ
Flying them all day
Diamonds just dancing like raw yay
Me and Papi [?] on a four way, expensive settings
Man, it's chaos when me and my bredrins get in
Look, naughty guys in it, I don't need added time
I'll lick out one half in 45 minutes
Trapping all fly, man, he brought his ice with him
Eyes on the prize, man, he'll put his life in it
Might be on the same book but we ain't on the same page
It's J Wave, born to do it like Craig Dave
Nutting but lead for my foes
And a comfortable bed for my hoes

My niggas money-motivated, getting money like we're obligated
Love my niggas like we're blood-related
First position in the premiership, forever we've been regulating
Them other niggas facing relegation
Tell 'em not to call my phone, I'm not into all the conversation
Unless you're talking 'bout some money-making
If you're not, you're the type of guy I really need to stay away from
I'm in a different kind of situation
And if I get the opportunity, I'm not the type of guy to waste it
I'm the definition of the opposite of basic
All them niggas wanna trade places
If they tried to live my life for a second, bet they wouldn't make it
Ain't a risk that I haven't taken
I be in the dream team if I'm not mistaken
Ice City on the map, we be on the next track
Don't know who these other motherfuckers think they're racing
Boom!
