At fourteen tried out for the ball team Junior high, they denied me I shot bricks that made the backboard scream Fighting Italian rival gangs, they was sniffing glue I was skipping school, smoking green, that was the shit to do Stole somebody's team jacket at practice, slept through my classes The borough Queens, so it's rep the Q to the casket Average student, had illusions of the supernatural Horror movie addict, werewolf fanatic and Dracul' One night after school and train hopping and snatching jewels I dozed at midnight, woke up a little after two My hands shook violently My eyes took red My hair spun in waves Bread was the only word I said I heard voices in the night calling, them Benz' engine roaring Heard that gin and champagne pouring and niggas balling I put the 22 on my waist The face in the moon had a mean look I transformed to the Queens wolf You could hear me growling through public housing No telling, might wake up in Queens house or Rikers Island A Queens wolf Ladies wanna get beside him If haters try busting the silver bullet inside him, they dying You could hear me growling through public housing No telling, might wake up in Queens house or Rikers Island A Queens wolf Ladies wanna get beside him If haters try busting the silver bullet inside him, they dying Waking up is a pleasure though last night I can't remember Cash up on my dresser, where'd it come from? This is messed up What kind of fatal drug am I taking? Who laced it? Previous night memories who erased it? Wasn't even wasted I do recall the nightfall, loner the stars around it Then my man called, said what I did, the goons were talking 'bout it Singing me praises, I lit the corners up It sounded like Vietnam screaming out Q Vietnam the loudest "Homie them dudes is scared you gon' spray 'em, word to Bing They'll do anything, pay you real good to be on their team" So that explains the money and the chains that's on my dresser drawer That wasn't there a day before, I should press 'em all But I be on some cool shit, my nigga, Q-U shit Audemar watch, burner piece, switch, new whip Stoli vodka, club soda with my new chick Ah shit, teeth showing, snarling when the moon's lit You could hear me growling through public housing No telling, might wake up in Queens house or Rikers Island A Queens wolf Ladies wanna get beside him If haters try busting the silver bullet inside him, they dying You could hear me growling through public housing No telling, might wake up in Queens house or Rikers Island A Queens wolf Ladies wanna get beside him If haters try busting the silver bullet inside him, they dying
