| [00:25.64] |
From standin on the corners boppin |
| [00:27.71] |
to drivin some of the hottest cars New York has ever seen |
| [00:29.98] |
For droppin some of the hottest verses rap has ever heard |
| [00:33.26] |
From the dope spot, with the smoke Glock |
| [00:35.18] |
fleein the murder scene, you know me well |
| [00:37.16] |
from nightmares of a lonely cell, my only hell |
| [00:40.50] |
But since when y'all niggaz know me to fail? Fuck naw |
| [00:43.55] |
Where all my niggaz with the rubber grips, bust shots |
| [00:46.50] |
And if you with me mom I rub on your tits, and what-not |
| [00:49.82] |
I'm from the school of the hard knocks, we must not |
| [00:52.83] |
let outsiders violate our blocks, and my plot |
| [00:56.01] |
let's stick up the world and split it fifty/fifty, uh-huh |
| [00:58.94] |
Let's take the dough and stay real jiggy, uh-huh |
| [01:02.06] |
And sip the Cris' and get pissy-pissy |
| [01:04.52] |
Flow infinitely like the memory of my nigga Biggie, baby! |
| [01:08.47] |
You know it's hell when I come through |
| [01:10.76] |
The life and times of Shawn Carter |
| [01:12.50] |

| [01:30.33] |

| [01:33.20] |
We live in hard knocks, we don't take over we borrow blocks |
| [01:36.50] |
Burn em down and you can have it back daddy, I'd rather that |
| [01:39.76] |

All my ballers that's born to clock |
| [01:49.16] |
Now I'ma be on top whether I perform or not |
| [01:52.07] |
I went from lukewarm to hot; sleepin on futons and cots |
| [01:56.00] |
to King Size, dream machines, the green fives |
| [01:58.47] |
I've seen pies let the thing between my eyes analyze life's ills |
| [02:02.06] |
Then I put it down type braile |
| [02:04.16] |
I'm tight grill with the phony, rappers y'all might feel we homies |
| [02:08.36] |
I'm like still, y'all don't know me, shit! |

I don't how to sleep, I gotta eat, stay on my toes |
| [02:45.29] |
Gotta a lot of beef, so logically, I prey on my foes |
| [02:48.28] |
Hustling's still inside of me, and as far as progress |
| [02:51.54] |
you'd be hard-pressed, to find another rapper hot as me |
| [02:54.29] |
I gave you prophecy on my first joint, and y'all lamed out |
| [02:57.53] |
Didn't really appreciate it, til the second one came out |
| [03:00.55] |
So I stretched the game out, X'ed your name out |
