[Verse 1 - Wale:]
New York get the blood money
Real n***as smoking loud a** weed
Still counting my math, La Marina
Summertime I be in the spot
On the hood sh**, smell me n***as, it's all
DC got love for me
Young n***as sippin' all that lean (try slowin' them down)
Real live at the town, they be go-go'd out
I play the let out, smell me, n***a, still flat out, uh
Chilly weather, Balmain with many zipper
I'm ballin', see my closet a dollar of Penny's in them
And ain't talkin' about no problems
Cause problems get finished quick with 'em
n***as ch-ch-chopper brat-tat-tat- any n***a
Know that the city vicious
Drug dealing right here appealing
Like they some villains and something they had the hero in again, uh
Now here I come and who carries Maryland with 'em?
The crabs in the bucket?
f** it I've been aquarium clearin', uh
Coming through with some young Surulere goons
Rest in peace to Boo
Used to rock them Melo number two's
That was '02, maybe '03, oh, please
Stop it, you're Origami, I'm finna fold crews
Uh, overseas to the back block
Uh, straight G's where I'm at Bob
Uh, and we done seen it growing up
When the fiends get they look
They always jukin' like it's black rock
Spin it, you know let's get it
Take this money, I'm a take your b**hes
And no I'm not a gangsta, but I stay authentic
That's why I go up to any place and remain unblemished
8 for the tennis, I'm great with the lyrics
The n***as upstate saying "'Le n***as tellin'" like "'Le n***as tell it"
Say the n***as tell 'em
I swear a n***a heard I ain't e'er been a weller
Redbone redbone, well put together
Put it in my cell, I can put it in your belly
Kettering. what's up? Landover. what's up?
Roll pa** Ardmore, feeling local as f**
Audemar? keep it on, n***as won't even touch
When you home and you humble? you get a lot of respect
And n***as trappin' trying to get at all the bread
Get up out of the jungle, get his daughter a bed
Get his son some gear, find a pot he can piss in
So quarters moving back and forth like it's a lottery ticket
And to be honest who gon' want McDonalds position?
No time for chicken nuggets but somehow they find all the dippers
They slipping
[Clip from Elaine:]
Hey. I just spent a lot of time and I have eaten a lot of crap to get where I am today. And I am not throwing it all away now
Blood money (yeah yeah)
[Verse 2 - A$AP Ferg:]
Ah (blood blood)
Daddy, daddy was a legend
Harlem born, money gettin'
'Til he pull an armageddon
Trigger brrrr cerebellum
Mellow at the 7/11
Mama had to call the reverend
Daddy teach your hood a lesson from the seven Mac-11
8: 30 eight mack ten crack ones
Putting genocide on my Black friends
Richard Porter seen the slaughter
Alpo kinda sorta was a ho
Cause he left the whole hood and he didn't water, dam
sh** n***as still glorify
He had all the rise
He had all the b**hes f**ing all the thots
He the man, rocking Dapper Dan
With a gun in hand, Pakistan
I don't understand how you k** your man (damn)
I don't understand how you k** your man
Goddamn, how you k** your man over money when
Two Harlem kids in a gang do the devil's dance
Cause the greed of money had them caught up all up in a trance
[Verse 3 - Wale:]
f** n***as taking nothing from me
Sun going down in a town
Ain't nothing funny
Little buddy
On a corner where a quarter
On the 5-0 and the law
And the mind tripping off the water
Talking to herself in public
I'm looking off of South Florida Avenue
Haven't you heard of the dealers and loiterers
The trappers and murderers
I could see [?]
Until you see the glory in it's own
I don't see you n***a
[?] they can see n***a
They see you on CDs and see you on the scene slipping
You being hot you see I'm Pac
Don't pee in public
We ain't seen peace in these parts
No Teen Summit, blood money
