Lyrics
0:24I drive up and down Harlem blocks
0:25Iced out watch Knots in my socks
0:28Cops think I'm selling rocks
0:29Pulling me over to see if I'm drunk But I'm sober
0:33They wouldn't f**k with me if I drove a Nova
0:35Listen Columbo you're mad because your money come slow
0:38And what you make in a year I make in one show
0:41Now you wanna frisk me and search my ride
0:43Call me all kinda names try to hurt my pride
0:45You're just mad cause I'm a young cat pockets dumb fat
0:48Talkin' bout: Where the gun at
0:50I been there and done that
0:52I'm through with that illegal life I'm stayin legit
0:54I love to see cars come cruisin' bye and playin' my sh*t
0:57I walk around with six thou' without a pist-ol my whole cliques wild
1:00I'm rich pal no more sticks I'm makin hits now
1:02I drink Cristal I'm through breakin' laws
1:05I don't sell coke anymore I do tours
1:08So get that flashlight out of my face
1:10To bring me down them Jakes'll do whatever it takes
1:13Word up them federals got my phone and my house tapped
1:16Praying that I fall for the mouse trap I doubt that
1:19Why do I end up in so much sh*t
1:21I done came way too far to be callin' it quits
1:24Jake wanna lock me up even though I'm legit
1:27They can't stand to see a young brother pockets get thick
1:30Aiyyo enough's enough federals try to set me up
1:33Put me in cuffs and crush what I lust into dust
1:35Plus they want a ni**a sewed but they know
1:38Big Joey Crack'll never rat a cat that he know
1:41Fo' sho' death before dishonor; I left the streets alone
1:45Since Tone deceased it almost killed his mama
1:47So I'mma keep doin what I'm doin
1:49Pursuin' my dream 'til there's enough cream to start my own union
1:52And show these kids how legit it is
1:54Sh*t is real I used to steal but now I own several businesses
1:57So where's your witness that you claim to have sayin' that I'm takin half
2:01Extortin' New York and not payin' tax
2:03I'm layin back playin the role playin the low
2:06But it's the same ol' Joe so don't get K O d
2:09Hey yo I'm gonna fry for what I never did
2:11Or catch a heavy bid why don't they just let a ni**a live
2:14Why do I end up in so much sh*t
2:17I done came way too far to be callin' it quits
2:19Jake wanna lock me up even though I'm legit
2:22They can't stand to see a young brother pockets get thickAnnotate
2:25Why do I end up in so much sh*t
2:28I done came way too far to be callin' it quits
2:30Jake wanna lock me up even though I'm legit
2:33They can't stand to see a young brother pockets get thickAnnotate
2:37"What would you do
2:39If a vicious enemy suddenly started coming at you
2:42Armed to the teeth and ready to kill youAnnotate "
