[00:19.12]	I'm the nigga walkin' with
[00:20.46]	His finger on the trigger
[00:21.69]	Make enough figures until
[00:22.56]	My pockets get bigger
[00:23.95]	I ain't the type of brother
[00:25.15]	Made for you to start testin'
[00:26.56]	Gimme a Smith N Wesson
[00:27.63]	I'll have niggas undressin'
[00:28.84]	I'm rollin' with a mob and
[00:30.11]	Runnin' from the cops
[00:31.22]	Drive stolen cars and
[00:32.14]	Shoot many Glocks
[00:33.52]	A marijuana addict
[00:34.24]	If niggas want static
[00:35.89]	They had it cause
[00:36.84]	I flip just like a acrobatic
[00:38.38]	I'm always on the
[00:39.21]	Corners rollin' up Sess
[00:40.16]	When I dress it's never
[00:41.90]	Nothin' less than Guess
[00:43.02]	So I walk with a bop
[00:44.43]	And my hat turned back
[00:45.55]	Love commitin' sins and
[00:46.59]	My friends sell crack
[00:47.87]	I got it goin' on
[00:49.06]	My knuckle game is strong
[00:50.32]	Sip Dom Pérignon
[00:51.49]	And then carry on
[00:52.73]	Army certified keep a Rent A Ride
[00:55.20]	Strippin' mad hoes and
[00:56.14]	Kick em to the side
[00:57.54]	See I'm the type of brother
[00:58.78]	Who keeps a four pounder
[00:59.99]	Start a lot of shit and
[01:01.19]	Shoot at out of towners
[01:02.33]	At every block party
[01:03.45]	I try to catch a body
[01:04.73]	Or for props till
[01:05.65]	Your pops call the cops
[01:07.06]	See now I'm on the run
[01:08.49]	But still havin' fun
[01:09.49]	Livin' by the Mac my
[01:10.81]	Gear is all black
[01:12.03]	I keep killin' because
[01:13.61]	I'm ready and I'm willin'
[01:14.67]
[01:15.24]	And I'm a villian
[01:15.98]
[01:17.59]	What
[01:18.33]	What
[01:19.14]	Wha a a t
[01:21.83]
[01:35.70]	I got beef with the President
[01:37.34]	And still lovin' it
[01:38.50]	Tryin' to make plans to
[01:39.52]	Overthrow the government
[01:40.35]
[01:40.92]	It won't work cause niggas
[01:42.25]	Don't believe enough
[01:43.35]	They'd rather stand on the
[01:44.38]	Corners and receive a cuff
[01:45.70]	I'm runnin' rich you don't
[01:46.99]	Like the sound of this
[01:48.05]	Rebel but this country
[01:49.37]	Doesn't want me
[01:50.45]	They'd rather hunt me
[01:51.66]	But they'd never catch us all
[01:52.73]	Why you fuck in with the dealers
[01:54.03]	While you're sticking up the malls
[01:55.45]	Full of anger all about danger
[01:57.16]	Pullin' out my banger
[01:58.53]	Stabbin' up a stranger
[01:59.27]
[02:00.35]	I hear Walkie Talkies in my sleep
[02:01.77]
[02:02.42]	I use a whole lot of
[02:03.56]	Slang when I speak
[02:04.61]	Walkin' with a vest
[02:05.67]	The projects is where I rest
[02:06.99]
[02:07.78]	And the streets keep me stressed
[02:09.36]	Staring at your face
[02:10.48]	Waiting for you to make a sound
[02:11.85]	That's when I take you down
[02:13.18]	Shoot you up and suit you up
[02:14.63]	All in black and put you in a box
[02:16.49]	A hard rock with a 25 in my socks
[02:18.87]	Aiming at your temple
[02:20.05]	So take the diamonds off your hands
[02:21.86]	I'm buckwild like Billy Van Danns
[02:23.28]
[02:24.20]	Prince of pistolers
[02:25.22]	Words are crystal clear
[02:26.27]
[02:26.97]	And issues of fear
[02:28.01]
[02:28.76]	The maniac keeps killing
[02:29.60]
[02:30.79]	I'm known as a outlaw
[02:31.73]
[02:32.31]	Cause I'm a villain
[02:33.05]
[02:42.92]	I keep pullin' tricks out
[02:43.79]	The barrels of a Magnum
[02:44.77]
[02:45.42]	Put em to sleep and leave
[02:46.50]	The Doc to tag them
[02:47.70]	A outlaw although
[02:48.81]	I never wear a holster
[02:50.16]	In every county you see
[02:51.14]	My face that's on a poster
[02:52.41]	Hear so many gunshots
[02:53.15]	My eardrums should pop
[02:54.72]	I sight ya stop
[02:55.87]	I'm seeing mad niggas drop
[02:57.20]	To the concrete I got police
[02:59.40]	Puttin' chalk on the street

[03:04.00]	I'm crazy ill and what
[03:05.21]	I can't do my 380 will
[03:07.04]	I never play with a AK
[03:08.75]	Because I'm fine with a 9 and if
[03:10.24]	Caught I'll do lesser time
[03:11.27]
[03:11.81]	Sometimes you gotta plan shit
[03:13.55]	And understand it

[03:07.04]	I never play with a AK
[03:08.75]	Because I' m fine with a 9 and if
[03:10.24]	Caught I' ll do lesser time
[03:11.27]
[03:11.81]	Sometimes you gotta plan shit
[03:13.55]	And understand it
[03:14.49]	See I' m a bandit whose hand' ll itch
[03:16.55]	Without a gun in it Nas is runnin' it
[03:18.87]	I stay blooded I' m the
[03:19.97]	Project' s most wanted
[03:21.02]
[03:21.64]	My voice is like magic
[03:23.21]	My cassette is the clip and
[03:24.52]	Your radio' s the Automatic
[03:25.52]
[03:26.39]	So when I' m in your town ' duck down'
[03:28.55]	I take fire whatever you desire
[03:30.11]
[03:31.14]	But I' m on point you might miss
[03:32.97]	Never fight this should be
[03:34.08]	Sightless when I strike this
[03:35.43]	So roll the dice
[03:36.45]	I' m stoppin' a blimp
[03:37.72]	It' s ill how I got the
[03:39.01]	Pen droppin' the ink
[03:39.83]
[03:40.44]	No one can stop this Apocalypse
[03:42.02]	Show your record player a method
[03:43.58]	Layer so run until you' re Mayor
[03:45.01]	Nas the parlayer you
[03:45.91]
[03:46.83]	Better say your prayer
[03:47.66]
[03:48.27]	I' m the New York City slayer
[03:49.68]
[03:50.33]	I play high post and then lay low
[03:52.26]	Parlay slow I wear horns not a halo
[03:54.37]
[03:55.36]	And keep killin'
[03:56.07]
[03:57.84]	Cause I' m a villian
