Half-A-Mil (Interlude)
AZ:
Ha, ha, ha, new drink, Balley`s and Henny
you ain`t got no Henny, get the Remy
you ain`t got the Remy, any cognac`ll do. . .
Smooth criminal shit baby. . .
Half-A-Mil:
Kaiser Sosa intention
Glide in a Hummer wit the flyin` saucer engine
Willied out, at my crib in the winter having cookouts
Smack by witch, look out
I`m like Barnabas, crab niggas tryin` to conquer us
They mad cuz we jump outta cabs, and hop on the bus
Copin` dust, Firm Clique rock the whole Metropolis
Bitches who burn dick won`t put a stop to us
Niggas who. . . . . .
{fades directly into Love Is Love}
Love Is Love
AZ:
See...this is what I mean...when we come together like this
incredible things take place...
see we connect thoughts to collect shorts,
and only the strong survive...
I love my black people...we are the future...
{Nina Simone sample:
Black is the color of my true love`s hair,
his face so soft & wondrous cared}
AZ {Verse One}
Chop the pie up, four ways, get lyed up
Infiltrate, never violate get tied up
It`s all a chess game, choose sides, the best remains
True lies, vibes die when bums infest the game
Bogus shit shots, you woke but let your man get locked
I love this hip-hop, stock the bank let the Crist pop
Peep the next shit, push a big Benz, fuck a Lexus
The streets was hectic, so I stacked and made my exit
More doe to get, focus my thoughts for me to go legit
Ferosious shit, cop a huge castle, on the ocean cliff
Imagine that, a few years back, I was baggin` cracks
Magnum gats, playin` street corners, commitin` savage acts
Twistin` up, nuttin` but love, for niggas sittin` up
Hold your own, try comin` home wit out gettin` touched
Two for one, laws made foul how they do the young
Whose new to come, tried to tell shorty he shoulda threw the gun
{Nina Simone sample: Black is the color of my true love`s hair,
of my true love`s hair.}
Half-A-Mil {Verse Two}
Knowledge the green Wallies, all I see
Mama hold math like caller I.D.
Chose the path that chose me
I`ma tell you like G-o-d told me
Greed, lust, hate, and envy sweeped us from Shemtie
Keep us from simply, unifyin`, organizin`
We all are fallin`, when we think we all are risin`
We pop Crist on the horizon, topless chicks wit thick thighs &
I`d rather be civilizin`, enterprisin`, improvisin`
Temperature risin`, L.O. Heem gave me the guidance
Told me leave those 85ers alone, blend wit the wise men
That buy 80 G stones, twin Mercedes at homes
Fuck a juck, spend 10 Gs alone on chrome
When I die they`ll take my chromosomes and clone clones
Two hundred and eight bones
Microchip kits, we most dominant
You know what time it is, that`s why I exist
Jump out of limo, lims, fire the blitz, wise scientist
Applyin` this, ?lavi, then wide this
I`m survivin` this, quiet tribalness, finalist
Year 2000, flyin` the whips
9 cent, mind bent, 1999 rhyme alignment
{Nina Simone sample: Blaaaaaaaaaaack is the colorrrrrrrrrr}
Nature {Verse Three}
We went from, arraignments to entertainment
24 seve, the same shit, playin` the strip livin` dangerous
Bottle after bottle, soon became a ritual
The patterens we follow, others found `em difficult
I guess it`s obvious
As to what my hobby is
The root of all evil, pollute the scene niggas by the kids
Gettin` caught up, the same game done left `em all stuck
I reminisce on V.S. touchin` my fourth cup
Me? My only problem is I`m more fucked
Knowin` in my heart I can`t sleep, till I bust off nuts
Weed religion, for all my niggas that beat the system
And those bentin`, sittin` since Conico Vision
Y`all need to listen, it`s journalistic
Y`all hear the whispers Niggas in The Firm is twisted.
Spit that fly shit that earn the bitches
Whip the chrome six up the F.D.R.
It`s blessed we are
See I never let `em strees me god, forever stress free
While twistin` up logs of that Nestle
Who are you to question me? It`s just my destiny
To kick back, kill time, and live successfully
{Nina Simone sample: When he and I will be as one.}
AZ: {Nina Simone sample playing through out}
Firm... How y`all want it? Huh? hu... Talk to me... We give it to ya
either way... We workin` wit ch`all... This, is for you...Love Is
Love... 9-8.... Firm shit....
{Nina Simone sample: Black is the colorrrrr... of my true love`s
hair... my true love`s hair... of my truuuuuuuuuue love`s hair.}
