(verse 1) I be at Harlem world party pleaser, you might find me on 139 sippin a bacardi breezer, That's where I rest at, killin tracks is what i'm best at, jealousy I expect that, I don't stress that, I want a cutie with some tight jeans on, that i can scheme on, treat her nice, take her out, and spend some cream on, tv screens all over you best to see one, It ain't all about me I'm tryna put my team on, Cause its good to have a crew to lean on, mics I fiend on, you think that you could do it like this? Dream on, I'ma chrome my rims and ice my chain, fly clothes and free hoes is the price of fame. (verse 2) Yo, you know the game plan, C-town thats my main man, we never bring luggage we go shoppin when the plane lands, still run with the same clan, used to be a caine fan, everything I rock is name brand, L will make your dame swallow, your ice don't shine and your chain hallow, Why you front in clubs for hours with the same bottle, takin midget sips, I run with the richest clicks, tap the thickest chics, plus drop the slickest hits, you know nothin about L, so dont doubt L, whats this motha fuckin rap game without L? Yo thats like jewels without ice, thats like china without rice, or the holy bible without christ, or the bulls without mike, or crackheads without pipes, the village without dykes, and hockey games without fights, don't touch the mic if you unable to spit, flamboyant is the label I'm with () (dj mixing lyrics) Big L!
