the general (salute me)

yo man

it's a real game out here

know what i'm sayin nas?

beats back in effect man

swizz beatz da monsta

get in line

everybody get in line

listen the fuck up

to what's going down

pay attention

aight?

niggas salute me

bitches salute me

the block salute me

the hood salute me

you should salute me

they should salute me

so fuck who you are

i'm the motherfuckin general

when i walk through everything stops

silence

remain quiet

babies don't cry thugs don't buss

cops cut off sirens

oxygen freeze

noises to a minimun nigga

i pop and i squeeze

i represent the pain and struggle

cut out your eyeballs then brain-fuck you

yo you testin with death

i'm confronting the justice

expressing my voice to the public

they got to beat the system that's enslaving the poor

our practicing

gun rages

they r's and.44's

many fought teams and for green this is war

this is life and i'm the hardest

got ya label all scared

callin up the radio

don't want my records to air

y'all ain't playin fair

to every rapper in the game

i'm comin fo y'all blood

make room for the king. nas

i'm the leader

that's it

nobody higher

nobody touchin my crown

nobody dyin

nobody smoother

harder

tougher

believe it

i'm much more smarter

much more strategic

scholarships and hollow tips

a lot of walkin caskets

they talk a good one but there's never no action

and i'm the type to poison ya sista

twist her

through with her

put the gun in your face and make you hit her

make you quiver -when they silhouette of a don

benson

light up a cu-ban

recite a few psalms

enlighten you quick

teach you how a king wins wars

keep your ears to the street

love your enemies more

'cause hate can frustrate

and confuse

too eager you lose

patience

plan your attack then you move - ghetto

green berets

got freaks got hoes

who be jumpin out of movin cars and land at my feet - because
