| [00:20.046] |
("People all around, you got to recognize and witness") |
| [00:22.674] |
I got soldiers that'll turn shit out, burn shit out |
| [00:25.552] |
Do I come correctly when it's my turn? No doubt |
| [00:28.132] |
I twisted trees in the cold with one hand wipin' my nose |
| [00:30.802] |
Girls say that I'm fly 'cause they be likin' my clothes |
| [00:33.737] |
But the clothes or the money can't make the man |
| [00:36.596] |
When I apply my vicious grip, you can't take it, man |
| [00:39.565] |
Face it and understand, there are no winnings for you |
| [00:42.236] |
What I'm beginnin' to do, is bring an endin' to you and your crew |
| [00:45.407] |
I sip a brew and at the same time drink the life out of you |
| [00:47.958] |
I righteously come through, created in the likeness of who? |

G-O-D, can sell a half a line for a G |
| [00:53.580] |
Check ballistics, you won't be takin' mine from me |
| [00:56.516] |
Oh boy, you p-noid, heard my lightnin' and thunder |
| [00:59.415] |
Not Thor but frightening, type of stress I've been under |
| [01:02.400] |
I'm the one-eyed Jack, I'm here to smack you back |
| [01:05.036] |
In '83, I seen stacks, run your kicks, take a flick and act |
| [01:08.057] |
(What's real?) Certified street poetry |
| [01:10.783] |
In the game a long time, so you know it's me, nigga |
| [01:13.720] |
(What's real?) Gang Starr, mutha****a, we live |
| [01:16.429] |
All you fake niggas run and hide, we wanna know |
| [01:19.176] |
(What's real?) It's Lil Dap in the place to be |
| [01:21.997] |
We livin' proof, supa star, you see, we wanna know |
| [01:24.912] |
(What's real?) The Foundation, yo, we presidential |
| [01:28.614] |
Y'all ain't built for what we been through |
| [01:30.754] |
Underground, I might as well record in the sewer |
| [01:33.433] |
Notorious lord of the war, tourin' Aruba |
| [01:36.395] |
Before I was crawlin' I'd warn you and show you the Ruger |
| [01:39.285] |
I'ma shoot four through your fedora, destroy your medulla |
| [01:42.001] |
I could get these niggas X'd, quick as sendin' a text |
| [01:44.828] |
For disrespect, shit'll be simple as orderin' an Uber |
| [01:47.697] |
I don't know what's quicker to change, them figures or fame |
| [01:50.486] |
But I guarantee you don't nothin' move more than the moolah |
| [01:53.451] |
All these rappers really cut out to do is squash the beef and dip |
| [01:56.912] |
Y'all need to cut out the diva shit |
| [01:58.894] |
Every time a nigga like Fever Nina come out the dealership |
| [02:02.222] |
The streets hear the sound of that Preem droppin' the needle skip |
| [02:06.063] |
Like Kane walkin' in "The Symphony" |
| [02:08.049] |
Abel is my brother who all he offers is infamy |
| [02:10.677] |

He's sittin' right inside an urn in the session |
| [02:30.126] |
Lookin' down from Heaven to Gang Starr's current regression |
| [02:33.128] |
Earnin' successes, his legacy get treated like four themes |
| [02:36.351] |
Movin' forward then let his children eat off the proceeds |
| [02:38.923] |
