Yeah uhhh.. 
Chill.. hah  yeah.. 
Come on.. 

I'm comin rougher than the roughest motherfucker could get 
Playin Russian Roulette  never lost a bet yet 
Bluffin  ain't my style  niggaz ain't sayin nothin 
'Cause I'm buckwild without frontin 

Raw to the core  I grew up poor 
Once I hit the door  I began to explore 
Curiosity killed my cat  but not me 
because I learned how to kill with agility 

I grew up in the South Bronx, punch you in your mouth punk 
I know these streets like Fred Sanford knows junk 
In the trunk of a car lays a body 
Head decapitated, bust him with my shotty 

Stabbed the mug, to make sure, he wasn't comin back 
Now police, can picture that, with a Kodak.. huh! 
They can't stop me with a homicide investigation 
'Cause if they do my crew is hittin up the station 

Your best bet, is to let me jet 
'Cause I bring war, like a vet, when I'm upset.. huh! 
I'm not the one you want to play out in a program 
Yo, you better tell them who the hell I am 

"This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta" Yeah! 
"This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta" Tell em who the hell I am 
"This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta" 

Now on the hip-hop tip, I'm no joke 
Get live at a jam, and leave a system broke when I spoke 
MC's froze, but I never said freeze 
Hopin I don't hit em like a fucked up disease 

Fall up in the club, Mr. Hype for a night 
Choke a rapper with a cord, hang him from the lights.. huh! 
Now you do want to mess around with the Fat Man 
'Cause you see my face in every newsstand 

Every other magazine from Billboard to Spin 
Pick it up and read Fat Joe strikes again 
How true, I'm not about weed and brew 
I'm just another papichulo like the rest of my crew 

So give me the microphone 
This jam is dedicated to my main man Tone 
'Cause he flips, and I flip, and we flip the script 
And you know, you don't want to get your ass WHIPPED 

Party over here, another in the hospital 
Lincoln, Memorial, notice that's how I sent you, hah 
I was the one who played the shoot 'em up games 
Here's another patient, and yo what's my name? 

"This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta" Yeah!
"This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta" Tell em who the hell I am 
"This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta" 

So I cruise around in the be
or in the Benz, hurtin' enemies and makin' new friends 
They shake my hand, smile in my face 
The nine's in my waist, so there won't be a chase 

That's it, the situation is blown out of proportion 
When you leave, you must use caution 
Look over your shoulder, even on your block 
When I come to visit, you know you're in shock 

So don't say who is it, act like you know 
Kickin' down doors is the Gangsta Fat Joe 
And I got no time for games 
My name is goin' down in the gangsta hall of fame 

"This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta" Yeah! 
"This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta" Tell em who the hell I am 
"This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta" 

Yeah.. Fat Joe Da Gangsta 
Representin' in ninety-three 
Peace to my man Diamond D 
Peace out to my man Ski 
This jam is ?letido?, ha hah
