(Jadakiss) Yo, you can't fake it Life's only what you make it Front, be a snake, mess around, get your wig hit Ex-school boy who wanna go and try to take sh** Found his body, in the projects, naked I ain't gonna lie, If I wasn't doing this now I'd probably'd be tied down, in a small town With my eyes on a couple of guys With their eyes on a couple of pies Cause I will survive Brains, is the key to the game If you ain't got none, what good is a shotgun? If you ain't got guns, then you better cop some Cause the New World Order's around the block, dun Streets be where Lox get their props from Check us on the Internet, L-O-X dot com (lox.com) A worldwide message, I try to express it The best I could, for ya'll to cherish, till I perish Chorus (Kelly Price) I wanna thank you, heavenly Father For shining your light on me It's been a long time Since I had someone to love me I owe my thanks to thee (Styles) They never expressed, that life's a part of d**h They never go there, but you can blow here Do 25 to life in greens from Lo wear Outta nowhere, you in the bus, hands is cuffed Can't call your Mom, dog, you know times is rough You was out yesterday, stressing a better way Funny thing, they always seem to lock down Kings And the thugs on the street just love to say, "It's all foul." Watch the honeys check your style Worthless, when they worship, what you purchase They only see ice, not me, under the surface What's the purpose? I just, go my way Know my way, 'till bullets blow my way Which they might, cause any night can change your life Keep your state of mind tight and remain alright It's plain to fight, but different to shoot You minute If you ain't 10 different ways to get loot Chorus (Kelly Price) (Sheek) Hey, yo, we handle rap like we do the street Holding heat It's them same crooked n***as Washing dough, ain't nothing sweet, word Buying beats is like copping grams n***as got too many scams Give you garbage, slide the bu*ters to their mans That's aiight, though Cause even ready rock gets sold on our block Watch us turn nothing into nitro And we don't mingle Cause none of us don't really know you From the heart, we never talk to strangers So why start? Anyway, we're rapping for this luxury sh** I watch wild n***as blow See how plush sh** can get But we ain't trying to kiss a** to blow up fast We gonna take our time and rely strictly on the rhyme If I, wasn't that cat, Sheek Lucian, that rap Would you still be my man And pa** your bottle to my hand Would I be in the rain While you pa** me in the Land Oh, you think by now that I don't already know your plan To get next to me and possibly s** me Then slip Ecstasy inside a n***a's Pepsi Money'll never amount to respect, B And you don't wanna test me Cause God blessed me Chorus (Kelly Price) And I know I know that it could not happen without you I know it could not happen without you
