  • Now greetings to the world
    Gangsta no live in a tenement yard
    Rude boy no live in a tenement yard
    Too much watchy, watchy, watchy
    Too much su, su, su, su, su
    Them chatty, chatty, chatty
    Them su, su, su, su, su (fuck all this pretty Shawn Carter shit nigga, HOV)

    Shawn was on that gospel shit
    I was on the total fuckin' opposite
    Shit, stuff a million dollars in the sock drawer
    That's a war chest in case you need your chest knocked off
    Y'all be talkin' crazy under them IG pictures
    So when you get to Hell you tell 'em Blanco sent you
    I can't take no threats, I got a set of twins
    Those were just the words you'll never hear again
    For the final time, you don't believe these fools
    I've never seen a worker rock so many jewels
    I've never seen the runner with so many cars
    Y'all couldn't stop me, you're not as tough as you say you are
    My advice is just don't be too nice to niggas
    Just set the price so niggas'll live your live, my nigga
    Once upon a time in the projects
    Shawn was in flight mode, I bought a Pyrex
    I was in fight mode and now it's, "Fuck me, mijo"
    I was movin' them kilos, help you move your peoples
    Sometimes you need your ego, gotta remind these fools
    Who they effin' with, and we got FN's too
    Before we had A&R's, we had AR's too
    We the only ones really movin' like y'all say y'all do
    We still movin' like y'all niggas say y'all did
    Emory passed you niggas and he did a bid
    Ty-Ty jumped over niggas and he's like 5'6"
    Got the heart of a giant, don't you ever forget
    Don't you never forget, Jigga got this shit poppin'
    I pulled out the pot when we was outta options

    Gangsta no live in a tenement yard
    Rude boy no live in a tenement yard
    Too much watchy, watchy, watchy
    Them su, su, su, su, su
    Too much chatty, chatty, chatty (fuck all this pretty Shawn Carter shit nigga, HOV)
    And them su, su, su, su, su

    Put that drum in your ear, don't get Srem'd
    I'll Bobby Shmurda anybody you heard of
    Niggas could not be further, I fathered your style
    Birth of a Nation, Nat Turner style
    Uh, y'all make me turn up all this talkin' down
    Uh, niggas is skippin' leg day just to run they mouth
    I be skippin' leg day, I still run the world
    I pressed ahead of your team with one finger curled
    I'll line you all up with one finger wave
    Make niggas weave, niggas is out here fake
    Laced front to the back, don't front
    Y'all gonna make me wig, I'ma give y'all what you want

    Gangsta no live in a tenement yard
    Dreadlocks no live in a tenement yard
    Too much watchy, watchy, watchy
    And them su, su, su, su, su
    Too much chatty, chatty, chatty
    And them su, su, su, su, su (fuck all this pretty Shawn Carter shit nigga, HOV)

    Can't you see it's my ambition
    I'll come to nice up the whole nation
    What a bam bam yeah, loud
    I'm Mister What-A-Bam-Bam (do it, Jay!)
    Can't you see it's my ambition
    I'll come to nice up the whole nation
    What a bam bam
    What a bam bam
    I don't give a God damn
    I don't give a God damn
    When mi come a dance and mi spliff and Guinness
    Yow, crowd of people, go and mind yuh business
    This a hunting season
    Mek I tell you hunting season
    Well, I tell ya something season
    Yow, this a hunting season
    Cake and dumpling season
    Spinners and dumpling sea, ha
    Don't play by the king
    Love is all I and I bring you know
    Voice of the one pon gully banking
    Top ranking, keep it skanking
    Ooh wee, huh
