[Intro: Prodigy]
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, uh-huh
You know how we do this shit
I told you
Yeah
[Verse 1: Prodigy]
R.I.P., you can't son me, my pops dead
Bandana P, you see this rag on my head
That's a gang sign, Infamous the only gang I
Bang like the 35th and push that line
R-A-P, the greatest rapper of all time
Your favorite rapper got all my songs on they hard drive
You laugh like it's funny when I told you some real shit
And cry like a pussy when you see it's legit
Me and Dutch got the lane stopped up, New York traffic
LA traffic, they stuck on this rap shit
We cook like the chimi truck, the lab like the soup kitchen
And put love in it, put my foot in it
This vintage wine, you a trendy vodka
This Henny rock straight like that, she want the hard stuff
She want a gentle man with an iron hand
Who talk that talk and live that life
[Chorus: Prodigy, Havoc]
Yo, that's my shit
Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep
Big Pun, you still here, nigga
Nas, JAY-Z
Dipset, L-O-X

Snoop, Tha Dogg Pound
We live forever, my era stay golden
[Verse 2: Havoc]
Uh, H-A-V, P-R-O-D-I-G-Y
Body you on IG Live
Niggas soft for real, for real, like key lime pie
You not like that, so fall back, don't be that guy
We the greatest of all time if I say so myself
Ain't a place on the planet that the Mobb ain't felt
Niggas wack, made a project, whole thing got shelfed
They'll take your hearts, niggas out here just prayin' for some help
Made me wonder, what's really in they chromosome?
But wait, probably get canceled for that
Let's get back to the rap, y'all just came after the fact
So I'm laughin' at that, how you gon' rational that?
That's a capital crime, get shot for way less, brodie
Asinine to mention, so say less, homie
Back of the line with that shit, you Axel Foley
Niggas get forty-eight hours, smoke your last bogey
[Chorus: Prodigy, Havoc]
Yo, that's my shit
