[Big L] I drive up and down Harlem blocks Iced down medallions cops think I'm selling rocks Pulling me over too see if I'm drunk but I'm soberm they wouldn't fuck with me if I drove a Nova Listen Columbo you're mad becouse your money come slow And what you make in a year I make in one show Now you wanna frisk me and search my ride Call me all kinda names try to hurt my pride You're just mad couse I'm a young cat Pockets dumb fat, talkin bout where the gun at I been there and done that I'm through with that illegal life I'm stayin legit I love to see cars come cruisin bye and playin my shit I walk around with six thou without the pistol My whole click's wild I'm rich Pah No more sticks I'm makin hits now I drink Cristal I'm through breaking laws I don't sell coke anymore I do tours So get that flashlight out of my face To bring me down Jake do whatever it takes Word up them federals got my phone and my house tapped Praying that I fall for the mouse trap, I doubt that
Chorus: Big L
Why do I end up in so much shit I don't came way too far to be calling it Jake wanna lock me up even though I'm legit They can't stand to see a young brotha pockets get thick
[Fat Joe] Hey yo enough is enough federals try to set me up Put me in cuffs and crush what I lost into dust Plus they want a nigga But they know Big Joey Crack ain't never rat a cat that he know I left the streets alone, and almost killed his mama So I'ma keep doin what I'm doin Pursuin my dream til there enough cream to start my own union And show these kids how legit it is Shit is real I use a steel but now I own several businesses So where is your witness that you claim to have sayin Extortin New York and not payin tax I lean back playin the role playin too low But it's the same ol Joe so don't get K.O. Hey yo I'm gonna fry for what I never did
Chorus 2X
What would you do if the vicious enemy suddenly started comin at you armed to the teeth and ready to kill you
