[1st verse]
I cum from bed stuy
Tha niggas eitha do r they gun die
Gotta keep tha ratchet close by
Sum1 murdered no body seen nobody heard it
Just anotha funeral service
Niggas we’ll get atch u, Cum thru shin’n they yap u
In broad day lite kidnap u
Best get clap thru
Police stay on us like tatoos
Niggas onle grind cause we hav to
money is power sling crack, weed, n powda
Fiends cum thru every hour
its all about that dollar
N we nah deal wit cowards
Weakling get devoured, by tha lions in tha concrete jungle
The strong stand n rumble, tha weak fold n crumble
its tha land of trouble
Brooklyn home of tha greatest rappers
B.I.G cums first n tha queen cums afta

fort green put ya lightas up
Flatbush keep puttn ya lightas up
Brownsville put ya lightas up
