L.A. L.A. big city of dreams 
but everything in L.A. aint always what it seems 
you might get fooled if [bad word] from outta town 
cuz [bad word] from Queens and gets down 

Jose-Luis gotcha holdin guns in tons 
general, Emanual rock emerald 
government out to get me, tryin to stick me 
move quickly, yo the god study swiftly 
Indian style, knees bent, hands together 
Regulate, drama kickin like East state 
money to make, 1st of the month son chop the wait 
break the law and gotta score like before 
Armageddon, mary-tree smoke wettin 
if thats jeddy, shoppin sprees are ready 

My crew in the front got it lock 
my live niggas in the back got the gat 
so were [bad word] to this black 
4-4 like some more 
1 to the dome, lubricate your thoughts 
black mask stole the ride to avoid up north 
jeopardize my freedom, blink out when I see you 
but nine out of ten niggas wouldnt wanna be you 
rob him for his cash and spend it like 
B-diem(echo) 
Ah-yo the rap [bad word] is ill 
kid you make mad dough but still 
hit your crew off it aint slink-real 
show some love kid aint no selfish [bad word] here 
 [bad word]  repeat 4X 

Im in too deep, losin sleep I can't call it 
in love wit this [bad word] [bad word]  loyal and all for it 
whats a [bad word] to do? wit no cash at 22 
take it, or find the best way to make it fast 
my mans rakin cash, [bad word] bein lieutenant 
Im in it to win it so it might just take a minute 
to gain grams, put my game plan in action 
ways to make it happen, to days to get the jack-son 
once the [bad word]  I'm outta state triple sums 
count my funds, I got guns that cripple sons 
What's the use of heat, wit no dough to flee the streets 
caught a trace of no chaser and your dead meat 
Legal aid type of rider, have you shppied in greens 
10 thou for a lawyer now who splits your cream 
Game is deeper than the sea itself 
agile moves to make fragile crews deflate under pressure 
take it to the next measure wit all pleasure 
and stack treasure....Illegal life forever 

Yeah all together, like a butter soft leather 

Been on this planet for 25 years and still strong 
the worlds rotten like the veins in my fathers arm 
I remain calm, study Isalm, read the Torah 
world goin in flames like Sodom and Gomora 
Niggas dried up 
layin in the box from the [bad word] [bad word] thugs tried to bust gats at the livest 
its like in crime, only will shine real survivors 
yall hallf-way niggas, I'd advise you not to try this 
so brace yourself before you get yourself laced  [bad word] wit them sick Arabic scarface 
La ellah illa Allah illa Allah 
your [bad word] wit the god 
Escumar Asdubar 
Official, my missle rips through your bone gristle 
why you sneak leavin niggas get locked and blow the whistle 
for the jake, my mouthpiece remains my new 
team made my bail, scooped me in the Lex-Coupe 
now I'm out back to the galaxy of Queens 
live between the crimes scenes 
servin fans like fiends....fiends....fiends.... 
so it seems 

Yo, eternally 
the game reverse and burn me 
my man turn states and took the 1 to 3 
snitchin on me, how could it be we was team 
I guess it got divided by the cream 
FBI, raided my crib where I live 
snatch my wife, child welfare took my kids 
yo I can't live 
I got hit wit double life bid 
From the stress, my head throbbin like a tumor 
its 1 o'clock niggas are lock I catch shuma 
lay down my towel slide off my suede pumas  [bad word] spread around the jail like that 
been down for 6 joints holdin down this flat 
Latin Kings do they things, ice pick for gats 
tryin to lay my garbody gats all on they back 
but never that.... 

yo..Q-B-C, 2-5 and Mobb Deep 
mami rest in peace 
its Allah 
one love to that [bad word] Marley Marl
