[sample of If and When by The Three Degrees] + Fat Joe
I can see loneliness, heading my way
The light, of love has blown out (it`s a new day y`all)
Now your shadow`s gone away, you took awayyyyy
[Fat Joe speaking over sample - can`t be heard]
Crack, uhh
Yes, things of that nature, uhh
Yeah, uh, yo
No I`m not lettin y`all take me out the game
And no I ain`t lettin y`all niggaz ruin my name - it`s CRACK! {*echoes*}
... That`s right, the welcome mat on the ground ain`t the same
Damn right ya homey Joe done changed
Let`s be honest y`all niggaz left me to die on that cold December day
BUT, I survived; so much if you thought I
would pull up in the corner and die, not I
... No people, not me
As long as Streetrunner keep makin them hot beats
I +SHIT+ on you haters on that `Beat Novacane`
Make hits for the ladies with my niggaz Cool and Dre, CRACK! {*echoes*}
... Know if you mention the name
You mentionin, Big Pun, Terror Squad and the pain
And the pain has been the only status cat in the game
Relevant, {?} so much niggaz love to take aim
Cause I`m...
Yeah I`m lonely
It`s hard bein the only real nigga in this shit man
Cook Coke Crack, Terror era`s the Squad cocksuckers
Things of that nature
It`s a new regime it`s a new day cocksuckers
{*sample: I need your love*}
I spit blaze all, napalm, the mic technician
Coulda blazed y`all but gave y`all a slight condition
Never to defy my wishes
I`m the king of NY, all these other niggaz liars and bitches
Who you know spit dope, with a name like Cook
Niggaz say, that he ain`t, but ain`t I good?
Got the whole fuckin industry shook; matter fact the streets
Cause all the killers come home clappin for me
Ain`t no peace on the streets with these Spanish kids
Just another cop beating in Los Angeles
Yup! You guessed it the President didn`t say shit
`Nother vacation, chillin in Camp David
And they wonder why the hood`s so hot
My pops locked up, my moms cooked rock
And just the other day Lil` Troy got shot
over a 2 dollar dice game, way to lose your life mayne
Yeah, this is things of that nature
You gon` get a variety of shit, a-ha-ha
It`s a new day, new regime, new change
You don`t like it fuck you
But thanks to e`rybody who bought this album
Big Pun forever, Ton` Montana forever
Uhh, Kato, yeah - CRACK! {*echoes*}
SHIT on y`all niggaz
[R&B sample to fade]
