[Really Doe:] You motherfuckers better do your job and roll up And watch how we roll up, and I
can't control it, I
can't hold it, it's so nuts I
take a
sip of that 'gnac, I
wanna fuck I
take a
hit of that chronic, it got me stuck But really what's amazing is how I
keep blazing Towel under the
door, we smoke until the
day's end Puff-puff, then pass, don't fuck up rotation Hpnotiq for Henny? Now, nigga, that's a
chaser Turn nothing to something, now, pimping, that's a
savior Best things are green, now, pimping, get your paper High off the
ground, from stair to skyscraper Cool out, thinking we local, c'mon, homie, we major [Kanye West:] We major? C'mon, homie, we major We major? C'mon, homie, we major We major! C'mon, homie, we major We major! C'mon [Kanye West:] Feeling better than some head on a
Sunday afternoon Better than a
chick that say "Yes" too soon Until you have a
daughter; that's what I
call karma And you pray to God she don't grow breasts too soon Projects tore up, gang signs is thrown up Niggas hats broke off, that's how we grow up Why else you think shorties write rhymes? Just to blow up? Get they first car and then, IRS show up He ain't never had shit, but he had that nine Nigga come through flicking and he had that shine Put two and two together and a
little bad weather Gon' be your whole family on that funeral line Asked the
reverend, "Was the

pretty girl through school?" That's all I
want, like winos want they good whiskey I
ain't in the

heard the
beat and I
ain't know what to write First line—should it be about the
hoes or the
ice? Four-fours or Black Christ? Both flows'd be nice Rap about big paper or the
black man plight At the
studio console, asked my man to the
right "What this verse sound like? Should I
freestyle or write?" He said, "Nas, what the
fans want is Illmatic, still" Looked at the
pad and pencil, and jotted what I
feel Been like twelve years since a
nigga first signed Now, I'm a
free agent, and I'm thinking it's time To build my very own Motown 'Cause rappers be deprived of executive nine-to-fives And it hurts to see these companies be stealing the
life And I
love to give my blood, sweat and tears to the
mic So y'all copped the
LPs and y'all fiends got dealt I'm Jesse Jackson on the
balcony when King got killed I
survived the
