 J.M. [bad word]  J.M. [bad word]  9 to 5 [bad word] 
[Verse One:]
 Who shot ya?
 Seperate the weak from the ob-solete
 Hard to creep them Brooklyn streets
 It's on [bad word]  [bad word] all that bickering beef
 I can hear sweat trickling down your cheek
 Your heartbeat soun like Sasquatch feet
 Thundering, shaking the concrete
 Finish it, stop, when I foil the plot
 Neighbors call the cops said they heard mad shots
 Saw me in the drop, three in the corner

 Slaughter, electrical tape around your daughter
 Old school new school need to learn though
 I burn baby burn like Disco Inferno
 Burn slow like blunts with ya-yo
 Peel more skins than Idaho potato
 Niggaz know, the lyrics molestin is takin place
 [bad word] with B.I.G. it ain't safe
 I make your skin chafe, rashes on the masses
 Bumps and [bad word]  blunts and [bad word]  Big Poppa smash fools, bash fools
 Niggaz mad because I know that [bad word]  Everything Around Me, two glock nines
 Any [bad word] whispering about mines
 And I'm, Crooklyn's finest
 You rewind this, Bad Boy's behind this

[Interlude:]

 Get high [bad word]  Get high [bad word]  Smoke blunts [bad word]  Get high [bad word]  Ready to die [bad word]  9 to 5 [bad word] 
[Verse Two:]
 I seen the light excite all the freaks
 Stack mad chips, spread love with my peeps
 Niggaz wanna creep, got ta watch my back
 Think the Cognac and indo sack make me slack?
 I switches all that, [bad word] sucker G's up
 One false move, get swiss cheesed up
 Clip to Tec, respect I demand it
 Slip and break the, [bad word]  Thou shalt not [bad word] with raw C-Poppa
 Feel a thosand deaths when I drop ya
 I feel for you, like Chaka Khan I'm the don
 [bad word] when I want Rolex on the arm
 You'll die slow but calm
 Recognize my face, so there won't be no mistake
 So you know where to tell Jake, lame [bad word]  Brave [bad word]  turned front page [bad word]  Puff Daddy flips daily
 I smoke the blunts he sips on the Bailey's
 on the rocks, tote glocks at christenings
 And my [bad word]  in the fire position and...

 (Get live [bad word]  Ready to Die [bad word]
