[Verse One: Nas]

Thru tha lights, cam'ras, n action, glama glittas in gold.

I unfold, tha scroll. Plant seeds ta stampede tha globe.

When I'm deceased, by then tha beasta rise like yeast

Ta conquer peace, leavin savages ta roam in tha streets.

Live on tha run; police payin me ta give in my gun.

Trick my wisdom, wit tha system that imprisoned my son.

Smoke a gold leaf. I hold heat, nonchalantly.

I'm raunchy, but things I do is real. It never haunts me,

While, funny style niggaz roll in tha pile.

Roosta heads profile on a bus ta Riker's Isle,

Holdin weed inside they pussy wit they minds

On tha pretty things in life. Props is a true thugs wife.

It's like a cycle; niggaz come home, some'll go in,

Do a bullet, come back, do tha same shit again.

From tha womb to tha tomb, presume tha unpredictable.

Guns salute life, rapidly, that's tha ritual.

[Verse Two: Raekwon the Chef]

Perhaps bullets bust niggaz discuss mad money

True lies and white guys, we can see it through the eyes

Catch the most on tape, kilos disintegrate

Pyrex pots, we break, fiends lickin plates

In the building niggaz building, like little children starin

Them older niggaz aint carin

Sirens circlin fiends are lurkin in your baggage

Oh, one's gone now, what, smack him in his cabbage

In the woodwork, crack cells bubble like Woolworth's

In the projects, richest niggaz rockin all the real worth

Police questioning, rooftop cats invested in

Tradin in they Lexus' GS's sendin messages

Two and two makes four, Cristal's crazily pour

Gun wars my crew phantom like swords

[Verse Three: Ghostface Killer]

With the green leathers, hunded pound snakes and cakes

Fiends found in lakes, jeolously Jakes we shake

What I strive for is what I live for

Infatuated by material things, and it's wild like for war

Like somewhere over the rainbow, I see a big pot of gold

Future stacks yo I hold

Thousands of cracks bagged up inside the shoebox

Don't keep jack in my lap, don't wanna see Tupac

Got two spots, a new lot, flooded with rocks

Shoot-outs making me hot, crooked cops Bad Tony and the ball drop

In the Now, I'm bangin niggaz for slide time

Hurry up Duke I'm next, show em mine

And what the fuck is you looking at?

By the way young blood, hit me off with that Green Bay hat

Watch your back inside the hall, new niggaz slide through

Like doors yo, you're starin in the mess hall

Your adrenaline runs, cigarette niggas be swindlin

New jacks surrenderin, come home not rememberin

Made bail with different size kicks on, a white dress shirt

Lookin gay in the yard, and you got hurt

Flashbacks, of the day room, mop ringer style

Your faggot ass got bashed tryin to turn the dial

You told your boo you was whylin

Once you heard Wu, out of the blue, your family's from Shaolin

High class cooks, throw on vestes out of phone books

Infirmary niggas are screaming, "I got drugs!"

Sharpen toothbrushes 190 mixed with baby oil and shit

Your man's in the kitchen stashing ice picks

Well I'ma end this with a big red cherry on top

Me, Nas and Rae got the best product on the block

[Rae] Strength my whole team is eatin off this type of shit

[Ghf] Word up, throw your hands up

[Rae] Good shit, nigga next time, no more whatever shit

[Ghf] Cock back the Mac an say whatever

[Rae] Keep your eyes open and your wallet in your front pocket

[Ghf] Your Hawaiian's stale, exoticness, fly shit

[Rae] RZA Chef Ghost and Nas niggaz is the prophet

[Ghf] Floatin on in nine-five in the basement
