[Snippet of Jay Z taken from Big L & Jay Z Stretch & Bobbito Freestyle] As soon as I grab it, I eat it up like a savage And no I don't have it, I get it together like a marriage I'm seeking all rappers, I'm on my p's and q's and carrots (Repeats) I'm seeking all rappers, I'm on my p's and q's and carrots Y'all don't understand, well, god-damn, don't you know my status [Verse 1: Kano] Things just ain't the same for gangsters What can I do for a living? Yo, how can I eat for a living? Yo, yo, things just ain't the same for MC's But I'm a little too famous to shoot up M3's But there's a lot of haters, thieves and enemies And even in the ends there's greed and envy It's like I can't make P's to better me cos More money more beef, more honeys more grief More G's the more the street keeps watching me And I ain't got no chain, bracelet or watch on me I got the blade and the 9 already co*ked on me And the yards armed, it's hot property I'm going out like Scarface, no dropping me And I can't listen to MC's there's no honesty Only a few don't copy me, only a few Can roll in my shoes and bop in another ends And see why I feel hot in another ends I heard my buddy, then got me another friend Like G said they're wanna put me to the test I'll k** before they're putting me to rest, I will And f** booking I'm ghosting a minute, I'm chilling And I ain't got a mill but I'm blessed Streets is watching, heat is co*king, squeeze I'm popping While I'm blowing up my peeps are still blotting It's real in the ends, it's real round here Signed a deal but I'm still round here Blood I'm still in the ends And I'm around dealers with 10's to 10 boxes With big beamers and benz And still little pricks want to squeel to the feds I ain't bait I ain't feeling a 10 Wheel and come again, I ain't bait I ain't feeling a 10 I'm great with a liper, nice pair of Fila's or Nike Airs Got the three stripes on lock Going in the office coming out with like 5 pairs So, naturally n******gs wanna hate me n******gs see the Maharishi on me and they still got an AV And we leave the club with half the capacity And girls at the hotel ma**aging my back and feet Things just ain't the same for Kano I came on TV and came off radio Now you can still book me it just ain't for the same dough I'll soon be on that Jigga sh** figures with eight 0's
