[Verse 1]
Aiyyo I shoulda been out, I'm deadly when I pull the pen out
Keep frontin', almost tried yo' chin out
I knocked a lot of men out
I left em on the floor spittin' phlegm out
It's either that or I'mma squeeze the gat and pop ten out
You see Corleone, ice spinnin', jigged out, white linen
And if a b**h don't like me, she must like women
Everytime I come around you see your wife grinnin'
Don't be mad cuz your career's in the ninth inning
It's over now, n***a leave the game
I'm from the Danger Zone where MC's get slain
Where thugs that never hesitate to squeeze the flame
Where n***as be takin' d** just to ease the pain
Hustlers flip cokey, 48 Hours like Nick Nolte
When I was OT your b**h wrote me
First day home, I dived in it, left her thighs dented
Now that b**h be pagin' me every five minutes
MC's I squash and disgrace
It's all about the Benji's, so why your bills got Washington's face?
A lot of cats be frontin', mad singles wit a fifty on top
L tryin' to have the city on lock
Peace to Biggie and Pac cuz they really were hot
Rap game heavy hitters, it's a shame they no longer wit us
n***as wanna be L, ladies wanna see L
If I go to jail, you'll wear a shirt sayin' "Free L!"

[Verse 2]
Aiyyo I hear a lot of b**h in your talk
See a lot of switch in your walk
Only thugs get rich in New York
Time is runnin' out, n***as like "L when you commin' out?"
Because they sick of all this drag queen sh**
Your wife missin', I'm the n***a see was last seen wit
Me and Ron hit it up on some tag team sh**
A bunch of n***as got smoked for the cash
Used to ride Greyhounds wit dimes hoes who stuffed the coke in they a**
Crazy beefs got provoked in the past, lot of wigs got split
A lot of innocent kids got hit
Harlem World be the place of my birth
Believe me son, we breed the smoothest n***as on the face of the earth
Mics I steadily smoke, rhymes cleverly wrote
As long as I can rock a crowd, I'mma never be broke
Some hoes treated me like a bumb nerd when I was unheard
Now I'm icey, I ain't gotta say one word you dumb bird
I push whips while you walk all day
And I hate when strange n***as wanna talk all day
Clown a** sh**, hate to be around that sh**
You don't know me, just say "What's up" give me a pound that's it
When I was at the steakhouse pullin' cake out
You was at some cheap Chinese sh** gettin' take out
How you make out, you take the fake route
You oughta break out
You couldn't get a b**h before you put your tape out, what!
