[00:05.579] Have you ever worn the mask one-two one-two,
[00:22.596] M to the A to the S to the K
[00:24.971] Put the mask upon the face just to make the next day,
[00:28.240] Feds be hawkin me
[00:29.457] Jokers be stalking me,
[00:31.027] I walk the streets and camouflage my identity,
[00:33.440] My posse in the Brooklyn wear the mask.
[00:36.564] My crew in the Jersey wear the mask.
[00:39.092] Stick up kids doing boogie woogie wear the mask.
[00:41.779] Yeah everybody wear da mask but how long will it last.
[00:44.100] I used to work at Burger King. A king taking orders.
[00:46.789] Punching my clock. Now I'm wanted by the manager.
[00:49.879] Soupin me up sayin "Your a nice worker,"
[00:52.629] "How would you like a quarter raise, move up the register"
[00:55.836] "Large in charge, but cha gotta be my spy,
[00:58.251] Come back and tell me who's baggin my fries,
[01:00.990] Getting high on company time."
[01:01.785] Hell no sirree, wrong M.C.
[01:03.328] Why should I be a spy, when you spying me,
[01:06.002] And you see whatcha thought ya saw but never seen.
[01:08.565] Ya missed ya last move, Checkmate! Crown me King,
[01:11.363] Hold my 22 pistol whipped him in his face.
[01:14.350] Hired now I'm fired, sold bud now I'm wired,
[01:17.362] Eyes pitch red but da beat bop my head
[01:19.868] Hit the streets for relief, I bumped into the Feds,
[01:22.492] I got kidnapped they took me to D.C.,
[01:25.028] Have me working underground building missiles for World War III.
[01:28.125] M to the A to the S to the K,
[01:30.600] Put the mask up on the face just to make the next day.
[01:33.284] Brothers be gaming, Ladies be claiming.
[01:35.966] I walk the streets and camouflage my identity.
[01:39.236] My posse Uptown wear the mask.
[01:41.910] My crew in the Queens wear the mask.
[01:44.332] Stick up kids with the Tommy Hil wear the mask.
[01:46.820] Yeah everbody wear the mask but how long will it last.
[01:49.179] I thought he was the wonder, and I was stunned by his lips,
[01:52.181] Taking sips sipping Amaretto sour with a twist,
[01:54.932] Shook my hips to the bass line, this joker grabbed my waistline,
[01:57.396] Putting pressure on my spine trying to get L-Boog to wind,
[02:00.348] I backed up off him then caught him with five finger to his face,
[02:02.724] I had to put him in his place,
[02:04.192] This kids invading my space,
[02:06.002] But then I recognized the smile, but I couldn't place the style,
[02:08.454] So many fronts in his mouth, I thought he was the Golden Child,
[02:09.941] Then it hit me that's Tariq from off the street around Grams.
[02:13.531] I haven't seeen him since fifteen, when he got booked for doing scams.
[02:16.756] I tried to walk away but he wouldn't let me leave,
[02:19.340] He ran up quick behind me asking, "Yo what happened to my nigga Steve?"
[02:23.757] Steve was like this kid I went with back in Grammar School.
[02:24.814] I chuckled knucklehead I seen him yesterday he's cool,
[02:27.476] He's busted, "so who you checking for now?"
[02:28.883] Probably some intellectual.
[02:30.180] I kept the conversation straight and he kept trying to make it sexual.
[02:33.161] Then his old lady tried to play me waved her hands up in my face,
[02:35.444] Yo I told her check your man cause Bitch you acting out of place.
[02:38.629] M to the A to the S to the K,
[02:40.460] Put the mask up on the face just to make the next day.
[02:43.687] Brothers be gaming, Ladies be claiming.
[02:46.864] I walk the streets and camouflage my identity.
[02:48.990] My posse Uptown wear the mask.
[02:52.100] My crew in the Queens wear the mask.
[02:55.305] Stick up kids with the Tommy Hil wear the mask.
[02:57.252] Yeah everbody wear the mask but how long will it last.
[02:59.844] 3 A.M. in the morning on the Boulevard,
[03:02.412] I'm still at large engaged with my entourage,
[03:05.381] Me and Godfather and a 67 Dodge.
[03:07.708] I stepped out the note to post up my guard
[03:10.756] Searching for my car that was stolen from Scotland Yard.
[03:13.396] My first instinct was to check the chop shop garage.
[03:16.378] As I rung the bell someone tapped me on my back,
[03:18.709] I turned around to look it was a rookie in a mask.
[03:21.653] He said, "I got a itchin' on my trigger,
[03:24.458] Don't move nigga I'm taking you for murder."
[03:27.284] See cops got two faces like two laces on my Reeboks.
[03:29.138] My knees knock as I step back for a claear shot,
[03:32.145] Well did you shoot him? Naw kid I didn't have the balls,
[03:34.596] That's when I realized I'm pumpin'too much Biggie Smalls.
[03:48.473] M to the A to the S to the K,
[03:50.850] Put the mask up on the face just to make the next day.
[03:54.325] Brothers be gaming, Ladies be claiming.
[04:07.817] I walk the streets and camouflage my identity.
[04:10.487] My posse Uptown wear the mask.
[04:13.341] My crew in the Queens wear the mask.
[04:15.868] Stick up kids with the Tommy Hil wear the mask.
[04:18.068] Yeah everbody wear the mask but how long will it last.
[04:20.357]
