Joell Ortiz - Vinnie Vega lyrics

[Hook] He's easing in the city He's dangerous, sly and shifty If he should happen to write your name down Don't you try to fly outta town You see he's slick And he can't be tricked He ain't never made a mark He could not hit! [Verse 1] He wore a mean pair of gators Always chewing now and laters All flavors Womanizing cause his talk game major Wore gold like the Lakers always kept a slew of haters Cause his paper long like his hair draping over his blazer His name was Vinnie Vega I thought he owed the bodega I later learned he was the number runner and local player Oral like the mayor Gave money to all the kids Wouldn't come as a surprise if you told me they all was his He played them dominoes, I mean rarely would papi lose He was standing slam the feature while screaming out capicu! I was too young to drink he would go in and and got me brews Every now and then when he had the time he would drop me j**els Took me under his wing you could say that he got me smooth Impressive with the ladies he taught me to not be rude School me that, there's a thin line between co*ky dudes and a jerk I tell his story with a smirk [Hook] He's easing in the city He's dangerous, sly and shifty If he should happen to write your name down Don't you try to fly outta town You see he's slick And he can't be tricked He ain't never made a mark He could not hit! [Verse 2] Now remember I told you that Vinnies paper was sort of long Well some kuckleheads in my hood been scheming like all along Disrespectful dudes pulled an auto out on his moms Kidnapped her making demands kept calling him on his horn Never do that to Vinnie Okay, you all been warned Must admit that they had balls, but here's where it all went wrong Vinnie threw out a number for anyone with a clue Sure enough he got a ring from a clown that these n***as knew They met up in the park, he tossed him all of they names Told him mommy whereabouts and how this was all insane When he was done talking he asked him to pa** his guap A man of his word Vinnie just handed that man a knock Vinnie asked for it back, here was what Vinnie said "For knowing and not telling you paying to not be dead" Shorty gave back the dough, and Vinnie just scratched his head Told him "get out my face 'for I fill yo a** up with lead" [Hook] He's easing in the city He's dangerous, sly and shifty If he should happen to write your name down Don't you try to fly outta town You see he's slick And he can't be tricked He ain't never made a mark He could not hit! [Verse 3] So Vinnie paid a visit to all of these n***as cribs Told they family what must be done for any of them to live They must of got the word cause they kept ringing his jack Saying stupid sh** like "nah we gon die if we bring her back" He gave them all his word like "I ain't gon k** you guys Y'all young and dumb and lucky my mother is still alive It's 3 o clock now by 3:10 she better be home If she walk in 3:11 y'all getting lead in ya dome" Sure enough they returned and now everything going smooth But see Vinnie from the hood and I'm sure that y'all know the rules This happened in the winter by spring they had made the news I know they ain't think that this sh** was over man they was fools But Vinnie ain't do it, they died in each of they cribs All of em in they sleep, what a coincidence this is But remember Vinnie told they family what had to be done to live Well here's what he said on Mother's Day you poison them kids [Hook] He's easing in the city He's dangerous, sly and shifty If he should happen to write your name down Don't you try to fly outta town You see he's slick And he can't be tricked He ain't never made a mark He could not hit!
