They say you are what you eat Outta my heart, grow forth the thought to breathe deep And walk on this street, spark a dead leaf Smoke like a chimney, coughin' in chief Got it hard, playin' cards with the devil Could've got caught, but the Lord never let 'em Beat 'em at they own game, fought with the metal Bloodshed and tears, toss in the letters Another dead body, no talkin' to Kevin I am what you call a survivor in the clutch Grew up in the game, misguided by the trust Respect somethin' you earned, got it with my nuts Gotta get it with guns, only logical to bust The monotony of bein' philosophical is just It is what it is, take it and you live Any disagreement, you will take it to the rib No escape in the game, too caught in it Tuck dope in my dreads under New York fitteds Where the money move faster than New York City Fuckin' women in Manhattan, suckin' New York titties Got the cougars on my waist, the hook up on the way The fakes evade Gates, scared to look him in the face Lookin' out for Jakes, you get took without a trace Fire under the body, then we push 'em in a lake It was love, so I just wanted to be around him Keep from bein' found, had to keep him underground Name a rapper in the same state as me That could eat off the plate with me, I got a full seat I'm in the nosebleed right where the hoes be Dick 'em down, kick 'em out soon as the door squeak Many approach me actin' like they know me Lick it from the bottom, mommy, put it in your throat, please
