| [00:34.76] | Velvet bowties, bulletproofs in the tux, when I roll by |
| [00:38.93] | In car similar to a suanas, in my diamonds |
| [00:43.08] | And my principal is to study drama |
| [00:45.79] | Look what happened in Manhattan |
| [00:47.93] | A couple of years ago when guns started clappin' |
| [00:51.16] | Two of my dogs fell, two of my niggaz ran |
| [00:54.12] | They was amatures in beef with a grown man |
| [00:57.29] | It taught me the lessons of how the strong stand |
| [01:00.13] | And how the weak, end up in a coffin |
| [01:02.71] | Play it cool, that's the old school rule, man |
| [01:05.56] | Keep your ears to the street, y'all never lose man |
| [01:08.29] | Make your enemies believe there's love there |
| [01:11.37] | Cause in war, belief is all fair |
| [01:13.92] | Rock them to sleep, shots in your jeep |
| [01:15.80] | And you ain't never know the plot was from me |
