Prodigy (Mobb Deep) - Shook Ones lyrics

[Verse 1: Prodigy] The most violent of the violent-est crimes we give life to If these Queensbridge kids don't like you We bring drama of the worst kind to enemies Your first time will be your last Earth memories It's only your own fault I gave you fair warning Beware of k**er kids who don't care Unaware fools will be dealt with in time It ain't a mystery how I form the words in rhyme In nineteen hundred and ninety square All shook n***as is supposed to have fear Tryna get a piece of this pie, we don't share Prepare for the worst cause I been there Try to, keep a positive mind and walk a straight line don't work So n***as is forced to do dirt And God made dirt, so this dirt won't hurt If I listen to the lessons and the rules I learnt On these streets for 19 years and not leaving My first priority's to reach 21 breathing Forever beef, nobody will ever be even So I grab the heat before breezing Lost in this foul mind state I can't keep straight thinkin' But I keep my eyes on the Earth without blinking It's hard to be a man in this land of the venom Any man try to front he get slugs in him Because... [Hook] He ain't a crook son He just a shook one We live the life that of diamonds and guns And numerous ways that we choose to earn funds Some n***as get shot, locked down and turn nuns Cowardly hearts and straight up shook ones He ain't a crook son He just a shook one [Verse 2: Havoc] For every rhyme I write it's 25 to life To all my peoples in the Bridge know what I'm talking 'bout, right Ain't no time for hesitation, that only leads to incarceration You don't know me, there's no relation 'Cos Queens n***as don't play I don't got time for the he say she say I'm bigger than that Claiming that you pack a gat but you scared to get locked Once you get upon the Island change your ways and stop 13 years in the projects of hard times I've lived in Wake up in the morning thank God I'm still living Sometimes I wonder do I deserve to live Or I am going to burn in hell for all the sh** I did? No time to dwell on that cause my brain reacts Front if you want n***a Lay on your back I don't fake jax kid You know I bring it to you live Stay in a child's place, kid you outta line Criminal minds thirsty for recognition mission I'm strictly sipping E&J like got my mind flippin' I'm bugging digging my ways out of holes by hustlin' Get that loot kid You know my motherf**ing function Cause long as I'm alive I'ma live illegal And once I get on I'ma put on all my people React quick, spit lyrics like macs I hit Your dome up When I roll up Don't be caught sleeping cause I'm creeping You just a shook one [Hook x2]
