[Tash]
Uh, expensive things, diamond rings and things
You know, rap life, rap life, say what, ah, uh
Rap n***as, we dippin individuals
Some of us be frontin, some of us is really criminals
Swimmin in the women and money we never had, it's sad
Rap could turn a good n***a bad
But not CaTash though I gaffle respect with no ha**le
I'm still the same n***a, light skinded, curly afro
Whats up though, I'm still the same n***a, a superfreak
I blow a G a week, catch me burnin rubber up the street
Rap n***as, always smokin indo
So everytime we puff, it's twenty dollars out the window
But what is friends fo', we gonna blow that dough regardless
My n***as live the life and they ain't even rap artists
Rap money, we get that sh** and blow it
We trick thirty G's and ain't got sh** to show for it
Let me get that case of Moet, let me get that CLK
Let me get that ounce of bomb from my man from East L.A
Let me get that
Chorus: Raekwon the Chef
Rap n***as get money, press up and get hundreds
Be like all them n***as on it
Which side rock the most, it don't matter cause it get notes
Meet you on the left side of the boat
Coast, drivin it most, we like where them n***as go
We like everywhere, party where the fans go
It's all rap hype, young black n***as that's mad hype
Got ya station in a smash right
[Tash]
My Likwit n***as made a k**in
We dropped three albums and got the whole world dancin on the ceilin
So I'm feelin like the villian that cracked that safe's combo
My n***a had some hoes, I told him shoot em through my condo
He shot em through, they peeped my CD through
They startin askin questions, but f** the interview
What y'all really wanna do? They said, "Pop the Cris"
I said you like rap? Well wrap ya mouth around this!
Rap n***as, young n***as ballin
We on the motorcyles doin ninety down my hall and
With the gold chain swingin fallin to the street
This rap life got us buyin sh** we don't need
We don't need the jet skis but let's buy em, just to try em
We splashin out the Lex and got all the ladies eyein
Us now, and we don't f** around with no wife
Cause all my n***as is livin the rap life
Chorus
[Raekwon the Chef]
First of all before we move on
sh** is like a Yukon son, slide sh** on like Grey Poupon
Mergin in the suburbs, gettin raw with greenery herb
Real ill n***as smack birds
Fat words showin proof how my gat work, go shoot, k**
Smack a blackbird, jettin in an Ac-hurse
Big Jim stay grinnin in a six spinnin it kid
n***a who flex, lex threw ten in him
Stand posin blowin sh**, coast from east and west
We rockin our vest, cannon might roast you
High powered hydrolic Eddie Bauer Rockwilder
Who wilder, slang bit n***as on the collar
Amp might blow, I might land, set up shop and glow
Shinin like a lamp post, my camp post
Cream leather green leaves forever
Goin to do whatever, corns and crab n***as, they roll together
What up Tash, black hash, we invented the spaz
High like sixteen n***as over ten bags
Real n***as gon ride, fake n***as gon slidide
Check the next issue f*ggot in the vidibe
[Tash]
Rap drama, the drama never calms
I be on the celly phone trippin off my baby moms
Tryna make her understand I get paid to rhyme
I don't show up at your job, so don't show up at mine!
Cause there's no biz like shobiz if y'all n***as ask me
Show money, that's like pimpin, cause we get it tax free
Catch a check for 33, cut straight from SRC
Take it straight to any counter, cash my sh** with no I.D
Rap women, they always be around us
Cause we from out of town and they be lovin out of towners
Wash up in motherf**as like a T.V. evangelist
Cause they from where they from and we straight from Los Angeles
Rap money
(Rae) Yo, what up
(Tash) Whats up n***a
(Rae) What's goin on?
(Tash) Hey, whats up Rae, lets go half on a football team n***a, hehe
(Rae) Yo, I was thinkin about buyin two basketball teams
Whats up? What we gonna do?
(Tash) Hey, hehe
(Rae) Matter fact, we can do that. Lets do that
Chorus
